I appreciated the discussion on swine showmanship. I was definitely a part of that culture and I now realize that the staring at the judge is a bit odd from an outside perspective.

If you divide frequency of light by 2 any number of times it won't become audible, we hear pressure waves in the air not electromagnetic radiation, though the frequencies may be equivalent.

Who is this idiot and who paid him to lie. This video should be removed.

One of best Wednesday shows so far. It's nice to see the rationality shining through. The three of you are doing a nice job of honing in your style on these shows. Thanks

If these two are an example of the best humanity has to offer, WE’RE DOOMED

Thanks guys for the excellent coverage of the Porcine Confirmation Competition in the Village of the Damned at the beginning of the show! Humans are indeed weird.

That dude just needs a free ticket to Thailand, or somewhere. Genius!

Address his patents

Did he kill gravity? I could do with the weight loss.

I'm surprised that those in chat were asking Steve to "prove" Howard wrong. That's intellectually backwards. If you have a claim, especially an extraordinary claim, then the burden falls on your to support your claim. Howard is not even making falsifiable claims. He's "noticing stuff". He's also doing a lot of "galloping" such that you'd have to backtrack a half-dozen assumptions to get to an originating premise. It is rambling in the old-fashioned, non-pejorative definition of the term. I think Steve even says at the start "it's not even wrong."

5:13 to skip the annoying background music 😂

You city boys! My Indiana farm girl wife said oh, yeah, just 4H pig showing.

Where I'm at (Western Illinois, 3.5 hours from eclipse totality) everyone was so excited for the Aurora, but nobody really cared about going to see the eclipse. The Aurora was cool. I saw waves going through the sky at one point, which was amazing, but yeah, the colors were pretty much not there. That total eclips though. We drove to the path of totality. That was a sight to behold. If I was going to recommend one, I would recommend the eclipse. This could be an entirely different answer if I was further north though.

Great to see quality science and scepticism on KZbin. Thoroughly enjoyed this video

1st clip: my guess would be that some show boater of a previous tourney highlighted the control they had of their pig by not even watching (maintaining eye contact with judges)... they scored well and it lead to this ridiculous new norm Edit: That old broad was WAY more perceptive than Terrence! At least THAT was trippy introspective examination of the strangeness of "life"... but still completely useless...

Just wait till christian chat gpt comes out 😂

you appear to be the "crank"

Good work

guys, rap battles are a real form of art creation in inner cities. the stuff we see on the national scale is not necessarily the art.

Another question: is there a secular community online or support group for people like myself? Im an atheist and i find it very difficult living among religious family members who also believe in most conspiracy theories, naturopathy etc. i really need some advice on how to deal with it. I really dont know how to even talk to them anymore. It feels like im alone against the whole world. Thanks

Great episode as always. I have a question that is bothering me since like 4ever. Why isn’t everyone talking about the fact that almost all the misinformation and conspiracy theories we are dealing with Today is because of scientifically illiterate religious people ? Why isn’t anyone talking about it. Why is this so taboo. We should be talking about it more.There are a lot of orthodox christians in my family and they all believe in most conspiracy theories, pseudoscience etc. its so hard living among delusional people.

Thanks for the show. 👍'd

I'm sorry, but I must disagree with Steven on the uncanny valley critiquing. I think the conversational quality is excellent and not uncanny in the least. Of course, he knows it's AI speaking. That's because he already knows it's AI.

from 1 guy to 3 million people ....same as ufo hysteria going on from time to time

Guess @ 134:20: ⬇️

I like the Tik TOK vids on here. I don't have to have that stupid Communist control app.

mandarin oranges aka tangerines

Come to the National Museum of the Air Force in Dayton, Ohio for a show....!!!!

The real time speech update hasn’t gone through yet 🤦‍♂️

Guys, there's gravity in space, especially at the space station. Otherwise it wouldn't orbit earth.

You believe that I can build a car factory if I randomly kick around some building materials with no goal in mind for trillions of years. You believe that a dumb person like me who has no intelligence at all can do that?

19:00 - absolutely. I'm with Steve on this. She's totally annoying and interjects with her opinion way too much. She needs to turn down the sass. There's a clip of a person asking her to count as she counts too slowly so he says 'a bit faster' and she makes a very ill-timed joke by counting way too fast. What if he was blind, or the situation was urgent. He totally misses the joke and stops her before she can finish but much like that AI robot in the movie Interstellar, I'd want the humour level set to 0. That demo where he's wearing a hat for a job interview, she panders to him waaaay too much in her response. I don't like it at all and still can't find a genuine use for it, considering you have to fact-check everything they say anyway.

Why have you not watched the videos of him actually doing his work? Why have you not read about team of Medical Doctors that monitored and gave approval to his work? You have an incredibly strong bias. If he was a crack pot having discovered nothing, why did the AMA approach him to buy his patents, telling him if he did not sell, the AMA would bury him and his technology? which they did. Do you really think that with one KZbin Video you can sweep away all he achieved?

The problem with connecting ChatGPT (or any LLM) to an API is that there is no training data. Text->text, text->image, image->text, text->speech and speech->text training data exists in abundance on the internet. Text->api call training data will need to be synthetically generated (at first).

56:22 with the right kind of prompting, it's very easy to have GPT-4o generate very decent images of longbows. I generated some images while you were fiddling and complaining about it and I'd be happy to share them with anyone interested. It's very easy if you know how.

1:24:12 Cost. The ISS is VERY large, it is easier (and safer) to keep refueling it in low earth orbit, than to have to bail out (or reach it) in higher orbits. There is no such thing as Space Stations, only very slow Space Ships!

Obital mechanics Not a orbital physicist or any other scientist I am however wonderfully Autistic! larger orbits are moving faster... DUH But they have more area to cover and so get lapped by closer (to the large body in question (ie earth)) orbits. When we leave the orbit of the earth, we are IN FACT now orbiting the sun. In the case of throwing the ball from the ISS, you would lose some amount of speed and give it to ball, this is proportional to the total mass and the mass of the ball to some complex expression of the transferred speed/force to the ball. You could if things were set up accurately SIGNIFCANTLY change the path of the ball, fun stuff to look up is the Oberth effect! Oddly your best chance to have a really different orbit for the ball is to wait till just before the lowest part of the ISS's orbit and throw the ball ahead and also down towards the earth. This will take all the area of the circle you are in and make it egg shaped, thus giving the greatest difference in height buuuuuuuut, might actually have lower sectors of the orbits too, depending on your angle down.

Wow! So glad I tried it before I saw this video - worked for me

Yes. Opposing the formation if AI is simply self defense.

The TheSkepticsGuide. Yes!

Yes, yes it has gone too far. Now the next question is, has it gone far enough? The question after that is "has it gone too far enough?"

That music at the beginning, behind the first 5 min of discussion, WAS NOT necessary!

Did anyone else notice it loop in the middle?

Waldo, you should show more respect for all the renegated inventors that dedicated their lives and STUDIED what you now find on the Internet eassily. The falaces used by you soon won't work anymore to discredit true scientists just because they are against the system. FALACE ADHOMINEN,AD VERECUNDIAM . YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

There Is a large list of innovative inventions AND inventors killed. NO BODY HAS EVER SAW REPRODUCED ALL EXPERIMENTS. THEY HAVE TO BELIEVE, AS IF THEY LIKE BELIEVE IN MOST WHAT WIKIPEDIA STATES

Holy crackers, is this already 11 years old?!
