President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho did seem more entertaining at least then the circus we’ve had for the last few years. At least we can look forward to that?
Plus Ow! My balls! Does seem like some good tv.
He was a great president. Saw a problem, admitted his ignorance to it, and hired the smartest person he could find to fix it.
Our timeline is far worse.
A benevolent idiot is better than a malicious ignorant.
True, but , is 1 out of 6 that great in selecting?

Quora
well, there is the problem
Festering pit of misinformation it is. And yes, they’ll ban you for calling it out or correcting the record.
You can melt anything. An egg will burn first. Then you will get some type of rendered carbon ash. Which will, eventually, melt and/or vaporize with enough heat.
Melting is a physical process that changes the form and aggregation state of a thing, but it still remains that thing. Melted gold is still gold, for example.
Burning on the other hand is a chemical process that leads to new "things". The egg isn't longer an egg.
I would argue that it's no longer 'egg' once it's carbon ash and therefore never melted before it's existence ended.
Which came first, the egg or the time dilation of carbon atoms?
Well, for eggs, that are carbon based, you will in fact have problems since carbon doesn't have a liquid state at regular atmospheric pressure. I guess you can add pressure, but is that really what we mean when asking a question if something melt?
Eggs are primarily comprised of colloidal suspension.
Colloids cannot melt, as they are not in a solid phase
But then you're melting carbon ash and not eggs.
Which raises an interesting question: what if you cooked it in a zero oxygen environment (say argon, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide... basically welding gases because they're mostly inert). I can't burn in that context, so does it melt? Or do you drive off all the volatiles and are just left with carbon anyway?
In an inert atmosphere under enough pressure pretty much anything can melt without burning.
This is the correct answer. In a vaccum wood won't burn for instance. It will melt, and even sublimate.
well it's referencing this article now
Somebody needs to write an article about that article that states the opposite
Take frozen egg. Melt. Repeat as needed.
Thawing isn’t always melting.
Doesn't everything technically have a melting point?
No, carbon, among lot's of materials, goes directly into sublimation stage. It has no liquid form.
Yes but we generally don't want AI to answer questions like evil genies.
AI was gifted to us as a wish granted by a Monkey's Paw. It can answer all of life's questions... but incorrectly.
Honestly the best analogy for AI I've seen.
Yep, also id argue eggs are 'melted' by default, but if you froze and the reheated the egg it would then melt.
Had a friend open a conversation line by referencing something on Quora and I immediately tuned out. Quora is a wealth of nonsense.
When my daughter was 7 or 8 years old, I caught her answering questions on quora on topics that she knew nothing about. Something to keep in mind.
She's probably more knowledgeable than their average user.
She was answering questions about ear piercings which she’d never had, but yes you’re probably right!
can't wait till more LLMs and content generators get trained on this garbage data and repeat it all over the internet ad inifinitum.
Truly the best future.
Even when Quora isn't being ruined with AI, it's flooded with Neo-Nazis that are self-proclaimed historians.
Wtf kind of quora are you reading to find neo Nazi shit? I just find people shilling crypto and bad tech advice.
I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.
