Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.
I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something
I’ve been laughing at this quote for 5 minutes straight
It’s so good
He knows he’s right
Also: I code sometimes, and all of my code is of masterpiece quality. I cannot debug my own code, I ask for outside help and we have to dismantle the NT kernel to find out what’s gone wrong
Given your vast experience and that your distro quest is over – what did you settle on?
Sincerely, Win10+Kubuntu user

Hello
Hello?
Is this actually going to post to the site???
I’ve got a 850W power supply, which I bought 2-3 years ago in anticipation of the RTX 4000 series. My usual load with a GTX 1080 was 150W and now my entire system uses 520W completely loaded. Do I count? :)
they live like miserable gods preoccupied with escaping from reality
It’s because they realize something as they age: For all their wealth, they are still mortal, their physical bodies will decline, and their egotistical, narcissistic lifetime will ultimately amount to absolutely nothing as they rot in the ground and cease existing like everyone else.
Mortality puts things into perspective for those people because they’re driven by a philosophical imperative that’s borderline pathological in nature:
Donald Trump watched the video of himself almost getting headshot on repeat, 9 times a day. Some said it was PTSD, but that’s assuming a lot.
Elon Musk is quoted as saying in The Atlantic that he’s “rigged for war”.
Well, what war? War against who? Against what?
"Escaping from the matrix seems like “a war against reality itself”.
We can only be so lucky that none of those fucks will ever attain apotheosis or immortality no matter how hard they try.
Maybe that’s why they’re so bent on destroying the planet – if they can’t have it, so can’t you.
Yeah, it’s definitely a vibe. I took a wormhole (time travel) to 1991, walked into a blockbuster and keeled over from nostalgia.
Nostalgia is such a complex/convoluted feeling – you can’t have it if you didn’t have a past to draw the experience from, but when you do have it, it’s almost like a religious or philosophical experience both acknowledging and becrying (or grieving) the passage of time.
Unfortunately, even with a “time machine”, we the people who walk through the portals are ever changed. We won’t ever live in the past again. We can see those places and experience them in our present states, but…
Just like a glass shattering on the ground and the pieces scattering: Entropy cannot be undone.
That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.
Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.
I learned this technique – we called it “cutting off the head of the snake”.
Traffic moves like water, and becoming fluid and just rolling sometimes can kill traffic completely, I was on a stretch of bright red (5-10 mph) that began moving at 55 MPH after patiently rolling – there was no actual reason for the traffic jam.
Well, how disappointed are you feeling, personally?
Do you see your negative opinions of generative AI becoming more intense, or deeper within the next 6-12 months, or have they hit a plateau of sustained disappointment mediated by the prior 6-12 months?
A shit-ton of my writing through the years on Reddit and elsewhere on the Internet has been used to train AI/LLMs – so arguably, they are imitating me, which by long terse definition, makes me an organic LLM of some sort, so yes, definitely.
Let me tell you about how I don’t have any thoughts or feelings of my own because I’m a large language model.
But I digress–
I heard hammers can fix things
Apparently the article states that the river failed E. Coli testing after heavy rainfalls, with levels detected 10 times the acceptable count.
This honestly just seems like a failure of the administration to properly take care of the athletes and wanting to go ahead with “a historic river race”.
They could have delayed or re-tested.
Olympics or not, they swam through a river of shit.

Damn dude, thanks for the heads up. Would’ve never caught the trailer on my own.
I was in the Gothic Remake Beta, so I got to see some of that content already, but it was YEARS ago. From what I can recall, it’s going to be excellent.
I mean fair, but the original ELITE was released in 1984 and is essentially the same science fiction universe. You’re right though, it’s not a new idea
It’s stolen from Elite: Dangerous. You can find a few of those colony ships drifting around deep space, but you’re warned with heavy penalties to not interact with them, for this exact reason.
It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:
ELI5:
The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.
Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.
But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.
So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.
If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.
