I see. Yeah, obviously the world only has 3 spatial dimensions, so you can't represent 4D data spatially.

My general point is that we have additional senses that we can use to represent additional dimensions. And that totally counts as "visualization".

And it is not possible to "visualize 4D"

Sure it is.

  • 3 spatial dimensions + time
  • 3 spatial dimensions + 1 color dimension (grayscale)
  • 2 spatial dimensions + 2 color dimensions
  • etc

And that's not even counting projection. All the time we interact with 3D data that's projected to 2D (almost every photo you've ever looked at). There are similar ways to project 4D to 2D.

(Not defending the video or anything, just pointing out that visualizing higher dimensions is something we know about for ages.)

I think the reason Zealandia is called a "submerged continent" is because it is made of continental crust rather than oceanic crust.

But IMO the best geologic definition of continents is by tectonic plates, which mostly matches up with the cultural definitions of the continents.

For the major continents, we have these plates:

  • North American
  • South American
  • Eurasian
  • African
  • Australian
  • Antarctic

There are several smaller plates too, like the Caribbean, Indian, and Arabian plates. IMO, we should consider these independent continents.

There is also a dedicated Pacific plate. The ring of fire is the border of this plate.

New Zealand / Zealandia is on the ring of fire. Half on the Australian plate, half on the Pacific plate. You can actually see the border of the two plates when you look at the topographical map of Zealandia.

Sure. But this is not that.

There's JD Vance.

There's Ron DeSantis.

There's Jim Jordan.

There's Matt Gaetz.

There are plenty of MAGA republicans in Congress who would step up. To say otherwise is to be living under a rock. Trump is far from the only prominent fascist ass hole in US politics.

Assassination would be good for MAGA. They'd worship him as a martyr.

I'd like Trump to die ASAP. From natural causes, like a heart attack from eating too much McD's.

You're using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn't support the war.

What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?

Nothing? It's literally the primary source.

Did NYT support the war? Let's look at the opinion pieces they published about the war.

Trump: incoherent rambling about immigrants stealing then eating pets and Democrat governors aborting newborns

Kamala: "He lost the election, and he's clearly having a hard time processing that."

My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

 

On my "subscribed" page, if I scroll down, the app crashes. Not sure of anything more than that. But it's definitely repeatable for me.

TL;DR

  • Canada plays in Toronto on June 12 and Vancouver on June 18 and June 24.

  • USA plays in LA on June 12 and June 25 and Seattle on June 19.

  • Mexico plays in Mexico City on June 11 and June 24 and Guadalajara on June 18.

  • Semifinals in Dallas and Atlanta. Bronze Final in Miami. Final in NYC.

The article has a nice graphic schedule you can download if you want to plan travel to specific cities. Groups have not been drawn yet, so we only know USA, CAN, and MEX.

GBoard (Google's keyboard for Android) has a GIF entry feature.

Sync properly uploads the GIF from GBoard to my Lemmy instance, but the GIF does not play in the comments, and clicking on it returns an error "image was actually a web page!"

For the record, they're not technically GIFs. GBoard uploads the image as WebM.

This seems like a user journey that should be supported. Android users who use Google's keyboard to input a GIF comment would expect it to work or throw an error at upload time. Instead, Sync allows us to submit such comments, but they are broken upon viewing.

A recent study highlights the health benefits of particular plants closing and generally reducing exposure to fossil fuels, researchers say.

The judge is required to follow the jury’s decision. Here’s what to know.

A federal jury on Wednesday condemned to death the gunman who killed 11 worshipers at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October 2018, in what is considered the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history.

The jury’s decision, which is binding on the judge, was announced Wednesday in the same federal courtroom where the jurors in June convicted the gunman, Robert Bowers, 50, of carrying out the massacre during sabbath services nearly five years ago. The judge will formally impose the sentence at a hearing on Thursday morning, when families of some victims are expected to address the court.

In a statement, the family of two victims — Rose Mallinger, a 97-year-old member of the Tree of Life congregation who was killed in the attack, and Andrea Wedner, her daughter, who was wounded — thanked the jury. “Although we will never attain closure from the loss of our beloved Rose Mallinger, we now feel a measure of justice has been served,” the statement read.

Jurors deliberated for just under 10 hours before reaching the verdict.
