It’s avoiding bad outcomes. Babies from closely related people often have problems. Practically every culture has a method of avoiding close relatives breeding
Eugenics is about breeding for desirable qualities, a eugenicist’s ideal person still couldn’t make good kids with a close relative
There’s not many* types of mosquito that are a problem for humans. If we wiped out the dangerous ones, there would still be plenty of mozzy to go around
*I feel like it’s either 1 or 3
The difference between your scenario and the glitch is that in the glitch you are in fact not actually falling
That’s not eugenics.
They added a “plus” in the middle of the word “human”
If me in computer games that allow character alteration in game is any guide I would be re-speccing myself daily sometimes until I find a look that’s right then sticking to that for ages
You do if it’s a lightly cooked beef arse you’re eating
We have blood vessels in front of our visual sensors. Squid and octopuses have better designed eyes.
I don’t know how we compare in visual acuity to them, but they don’t need to fake as much of their visual field as we do
Stop eating whatever is messing with your guts
Australia calls one of our salt water crays “Balmain bugs”
They’re especially popular as a Christmas food
It seems to need an order of magnitude less compute, so probably. It’s also open source
DeepSeek runs so much faster than gpt4
No idea when its feed data cutoff is, it like all others isn’t allowed to look at the live internet
The kid fed them. Now they’re screwed
For those who don’t know, the green end of the spectrum has more power than the red end. It can push electrons, make chemistry happen, and damage cells.
Red light is so low energy you can use it as a safe light when working with black and white film
The colour of light that can give you a tan or turn cholesterol to vitamin D is ultra violet, further to the green end than green or even blue
Plants managed to use their ability to pull carbon out of the air to kill almost everything else alive at the time
They pull out carbon from carbon dioxide, and dump the oxygen*
Which turned out ok. It’s called the great oxygenation crisis
*That which they don’t use, I don’t know if they used it back then
And the green end of the spectrum is the highest energy end. Our solar panels out perform plants in energy production partly because they can tolerate much, much more of the higher energy frequencies
I shall edit that to say they can’t absorb all of the green. Indeed some plants are very close to black
You have probably heard that plants are green. They are green because they reflect green light
They reflect green light because they can’t absorb all of it
I found everything I recalled posting to the page and no broken links, but my Geocities page was pretty flat, about two levels - index.html and files linked from there
I think the “under construction” and web ring links were broken
CO binds to haemoglobin (the oxygen carriers in your blood) just like O^2, but a little stronger. Effectively each molecule of CO puts one haemoglobin out of action, making you less able to transport oxygen out of your lungs
