But how do you apply this with Lorentz’ transformation (i.e. relativistic factors)? You cannot approach the speed of light without considering relativism. It is known that p = gamma * m * v where p is momentum, gamma is the gamma factor given by sqrt(1/(1 - (v^2/c^2))), m is mass and v is velocity. If you study the gamma factor, you’ll realize that it approaches infinite as v approaches c, the speed of light. Since we are actually dealing with light here, where v = c we are breaking the equation. Momentum cannot be defined for any mass which moves at the speed of light. It’s asymptotic at that speed.

Also note that the same goes for E = mc^2. At relativistic speeds, also this equation needs to consider the gamma factor. So those classical equations break down for light.

The answer is that photons don’t have mass, but they have energy. There is a good explanation a bit further up in this thread on how this is possible.

Similarly to Snot Flickerman, I also believe that this thread will be filled with comments about not being on twitter, as that seems to be a common demographic of lemmy.

And also similarly to Snot Flickerman, I’ll make use of this opportunity to become the very thing I resent in this thread by mentioning that I’m also not on twitter.

It’s a bit of a mix. I think people generally say AI, but every source which aims at using Norwegian in a formally correct way are starting to adopt KI. Many radio hosts seem frustrated, as they are suddenly required by the producer to switch up an acronym they have been using for several years.

We have the same with EEA (european economic area, that part of EU which norway is a part of). It’s EØS here. It makes it convoluted to discuss, especially since EEA is mainly brought up in international subjects. And the actual words behind the acronym is never brought up, so the acronym serves mainly as a name, making the differentiation even more useless.

Norway has a weird obsession with making translated acronyms for well established terms. Lately, after many years of use of “AI”, the Language Council decided that the term should be changed to “KI”, as that is the “correct” Norwegian acronym. Not only does it feel wrong to say, but it invades another local acronym for me.

To top it of, that council decided to make “KI-generated” the “word of the year”, which seems like a pat on their own shoulder to brilliantly making the acronym.

I hate it.

A laptop in 2007. I don’t remember the details. I believe it had 2GB RAM, since that was the main metric for bragging about computational power back then.

Out of interest, how are the russian media portraying this situation without making the population question “are we the baddies?”

Or the 120 grit sandpaper some offices use.

I visited my parents last weekend. They have s printer which has a wave light signal in standby - gradually switching from off to strong light and back. What my parents probably never noticed was the high pitch loud screech which followed the light. I guess the pitch was too high for my parents to hear, but not for me. So whoever designed that can go fuck themselves.

I’ve had a lot more success in debugging than in writing code. I had a problem with adjusting the sample rate of a certain metrics framework in a java application, and stackoverflow failed me, both when searching for an aswer and when asking the question. However, when I in some desperation asked GPT 3.5, I received a great answer which pinpointed the necessary adjustment.

However, asking it to write simple code snippets, i.e. for migrating to a different elasticsearch client framework, has not been great. I’m often met with the confident wrong answers.

I hate the fact that people who are trying to obtain information about the war are met with condescending answers like this. Attempts at gaining knowledge and learning should be motivated, not insulted.

Wow the black white market for organs is going to be crazy.

Norwegian

I love it! That would be EPOCH!

Ah, yes. It’s called “kursiv” in my native language, hence my mistake.

Since the bottom text is not in cursive, you and your opponent are actually required by the rules to love eachother and eat leaves.

I would hope that time and date formats would be redesigned by that point. If we would live to y10k, I’d expect a lot of space colonization. At that point, I’d expect there to be some other point of reference to define timestamps.
