And I have a hard time believing that there isn’t some solid or liquid (or maybe some other exotic state of matter, due to the heat and pressure) inner core way down in there, even if it’s relatively tiny compared to the size of the planet.

Even if it was entirely made of gas when it formed, surely some materials would have fallen in over the eons that could stay solid/liquid at the pressure/temperature of a gas giant’s core?

Ah, but what if you brought a large balloon, inflated it, and flew a helicopter inside the balloon?

Sure. 25% --> 37% … as long as you (for some arbitrary reason) only consider 8 “places” in the solar system.

7 of those are planets, but Titan is a moon. If we’re going to include moons, then there’s going to be a whole lot more than 8 “places” in the solar system, so the percentage of places where helicopters can work is going to be greatly reduced. If we get really pedantic and consider any orbiting body in the solar system to be a “place”, then there will be hundreds, thousands of them where helicopters can’t possibly work, once you start tallying up asteroids and comets.

Also, why does the list include 7 planets, not 8? What? Are you not interested in trying to make a helicopter work on Mercury? That’s quitter talk!

They’re only starting now?

True humor transcends language barriers. If you have difficulty being funny in a different language, it means you’re relying too heavily upon puns.

I just hate always being rushed rushed rushed. Always have to go faster. Click faster, move faster, make decisions faster. Faster faster faster.

I want to play a strategy game, but at competitive levels, it’s less about strategic thinking and more about just memorizing what the ‘meta’ is, and then being able to execute that meta faster than the other guy. And all this rush and hurry all the time is just too much strain. I want to play games to relax, not to add stress. I get plenty of stress from real life.

On one hand, maybe we as a society should move past child abuse being played for laughs.

On the other hand, a ham-fisted government ban is probably not the right way to accomplish that.

That’s really a flawed analogy, though. In this analogy, the man isn’t passing the Chinese Turing Test – the program is passing the Turing Test. The man is just the hardware that the program is running on.

It’s not a question of whether the man (the hardware) has any understanding. What you want to know is if the program has any understanding. Honestly, it seems like deliberately muddying the issue by proposing this hypothetical ‘intelligent hardware’ and using it to distract from the actual question about the software’s intelligence.

If I’m running a supposedly ‘intelligent’ AI on my 3090, you can’t refute that by pointing out that the 3090 is not intelligent on its own, without software.

You gotta send separate emails with only one point/question in each email. Leave them nothing else to respond to.

Gotta burn up the token quota somehow, or the boss will be mad again.

Depending on the humidity in the pit, it could be very dehydrating and cause them to basically mummify.

It will either instantly trip the breaker or do absolutely nothing, depending on how it’s wired internally.

The real danger comes from when only one end is plugged in, though. With only one end plugged in, the other end becomes a 120V cattle prod.
