yes. the sun (and every single star constellation) being pretty much the same size no matter where or when it is in the sky is immediate counterevidence to physical explanations of flat earth celestial mechanics (the nonphysical explanation being along the line of god deceiving us all...

I always appreciate short videos, well done 1:33 if the atmosphere is made up if zillions and zillions tiny convex drops of water the water in the atmosphere is mostly gas (vapor), not liquid drops, otherwise we'd see a rainbow all the time as sunlight hits these droplets 1:43 collectively...

It would of course be super nice if @sgreenstreet made a short post here when the final Skinwalker Ranch episode of The Basement Office becomes available.

You put your request very well, Before I get into the maths (in another post), let me point out that the angle from the observer to the spheres matters as well for the apparent orientation of the terminator, which is why in these photographs the ball is always held close to the moon (ideally it...

That's true for every source. And it's even more true for unsourced claims.

You can't use any encyclopedia as a source in a scholarly work (unless you're studying encyclopedias). Fortunately, metabunk doesn't aspire to such high standards, so using wikipedia as a source is both fine and useful. From that same page, right above your excerpt: This page is about using...

that's their 3rd reference

to elaborate on this further, metabunk is not strict about credible sources at all, otherwise bunk couldn't be quoted. (What you must not do is drop a link and leave it at that.) however, providing a citation serves as a reality check. people (even senior members) are often tempted to post...

We don't reference "various" sites, but mostly wikipedia (and wiktionary) which enforce editorial policies requiring references. They are highly credible, as studies have shown. The fact that anyone can edit them means that anyone can correct them, and wikis keep a history of all changes...

Yes, witnesses describe the interval as "5 to 6 seconds", and the WDR clip goes faster than that. The counterintuitive bit about this sighting is that, from afar, the clouds appear like a homigenous white mass, but they're really not; and the lighting exposes this unseen structure.

The technical term for that is "hallucination". In artificial intelligence (AI), a hallucination or artificial hallucination (also occasionally called delusion[1]) is a confident response by an AI that does not seem to be justified by its training data. [..] Such phenomena are termed...

I heard a lecture on "expert systems" over 30 years ago, then all the rage in AI. The main difference between those and humans is that they don't have any clue when they've crossed the boundary of their expertise and their performance drops sharply. That's precisely the behaviour you describe...

Why? I don't follow that logic at all, is there precedent or written policy or any evidence for that assumption? No. Scroll back up and read the source, the rationale is CLEARLY STATED. The unusual thing is that the MoD "UFO office" commented to the Daily Record about this photographs BECAUSE...

not really true, that AI algorithm was programmed to search a predefined solution space basically it had the task to find needles in a haystack and excelled at it, but there's nothing qualitatively new about the solutions it finds

• bringing up Kuwait is a red herring because it didn't make the world stop, it has no bearing on the UFO issues at all • while Britain was affected by the invasion, it wasn't yet involved (as in, was actually there) because of the innuendo, it's unclear why John wants us to consider whether...

both my grandmothers didn't even have cars, and they still went out shopping by themselves at well over 80, because they lived in small German towns and could.

so what do we do when we're too old to safely drive? I had heard about some urban planning in the US (Houston?) zoning suburbs as exclusively residential; if you disallow mixed zoning, there's no space for commerce to set up near people's homes.

the AI isn't actually smart. It provides a natural-language interface to a huge trove of data.

Yet: In 2017, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that 39.5 million people or 12.8% of the population were living in low-income and low-access areas.[6] Of this number, 19 million people live in "food deserts," low-income census tracts that are more than one mile from a...
