Yes. Knowledge is not equally distributed.

Every day you can expect 10000 people learning a thing you thought everyone knew: https://xkcd.com/1053/

To quote the alt text: "Saying 'what kind of an idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time."

Thanks! I didn't know that one.

I had a teacher who became angry when a question was asked about a subject he felt students should already be knowledgeable about. "YOU ARE IN xTH GRADE AND STILL DON'T KNOW THIS?!" (intentional shouting uppercase). The fact that you learned it yesterday doesn't mean all humans in the world also learned it yesterday. Ask questions, always. Explain, always.

Such questions can be jarring though. I remember my "Unix Systems Programming" class in college. It's a third year course. The instructor was describing the layout of a process in memory, "here's the text segment, the data segment, etc." when a student asked, "Where do the comments go?"

:) true. I'm a teacher myself. I never dismiss questions, but I do get discouraged sometimes.

And here I was, thinking everybody already knew XKCD 1053 ...

XKCD 1053 is a way of life. I think about it all the time, and it has made me a better human being.

When sharing this post on his social media accounts, Jim prefixed the link with: 'Sometimes its cathartic to just blog about really basic, (probably?) obvious stuff'

Feels even more important to share honestly. It's unexamined boilerplate at this point.

I see that you haven't seen alphaPhoenix' video about reverse game of life. I highly recommend it.

Looks like OpenAI is trying to set the narrative, literally.

Well, Venus doesn't generate its magnetic field via geodynamo. Instead, it has some sort of weak magnetosphere induced by the interaction of the solar wind with the planet's ionosphere. Also even without this magnetic field, I guess the volatile processes on the surface are enough to keep the atmosphere going.

have you heard of greed? Do you think they care about loosing customers in that scenario? Where will they go? Dont be soo naive... they might start with honest and clean intentions but that will most likely change, or the pople running the company will change, people are soo easily corupted, especialy in a world filled with vice

They must have some marketing strategy already prepared. Similar to that of Beats by Dre. Just make it popular trough popular culture (movies, music videoclips, interview with Hans Zimmer wearing these) and the kids will persuade their parents that they just need to have it. Thats how the bandwagon picks up speed.

I hate hCaptcha, those pictures are messy, they pop up everytime and theres 2 slides of them... Why not just use the honeypot method?

well, loosen up the chain a bit and take him for an ice cream
