But by augmenting him, Bashir became a super genius, so it wasn’t just to “relieve him”, they went a lot further

“Energizing the romulan rubber ducky” is not something I expected to hear on a kid’s show

If you sell me a 2" by 4" board, you cut it 2"+the width of the sawblade, just like the metric boards are sold.

Also is a saw really 1/2" wide? That’s like 1.27cm, that’s wild.

If you really really cannot sell a true 2"x4" at the price of a 1.5" x3.5", just keep the same price and call it what it is.

It’s never really a good idea to share your home location online. At least nothing good can come out of it

Considering how expensive things are in the USA, I hope you got to a country with a lower cost of living. Well, also, no amount of money is worth your personal safety.

There is no sensible reason to sell something as a dimension before it’s ready to sell, a 2"x4" should be so when sold, not when curing, it takes nothing to cut oversize to accomodate for shrinkage, or to cure and cut later at the right dimension

Even if you are being productive in task Y, you are still procrastinating X while doing Y, assuming X should be done before Y, if they have to be done by the same deadline it’s not procrastinating

Not only, be involved and actually teach them what sex is and how to do it properly

Sometimes I think obtainium are the Arch of Android app stores

Probably some guy working on legacy hardware found a bug, fixed it for work and while was there, pushed it.

Or you know, some other guy with a lot of free time dusted off some old cards and wanted to play with them.

I noticed discord and google doing it. Didn’t think much of it but maybe you are onto something

Not only the content doesn’t exist yet, it’s just not practical. Even now 4k broadcasting is rare and 4k streaming is now a premium (and not always with a good bitstream, which matters a lot more) when once was offered as a cost-free future, imagine 8k that would roughly quadruple the amount of data required to transmit it (and transmit speee is not linear, 4x the speed would probably be at least 8x the cost).

And I seriously think noone except the nerdiest of nerds would notice a difference between 4k and 8k.

That’s why I said “most humans”. If you take an average person, chances are they are unable to produce a song, if not replicate one they have heard. If that person is a musician, if they make an original song it’s likely similar in concept, execution and technique to other songs they have experienced (because human learning is largely, though not entirely, consumption of previous knowledge and retransformation). Only a minuscule minority of people would be able to produce truly novel music, with rules that are not and have never been used before.

Does it mean only a person that is exceptional in a field can be considered human and intelligent?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that LLM learn in the same ways as humans do (even if the principle is similar) and that there is any " intelligence" in what they make. But plenty of people enjoy AI gemerated content, sometimes without noticing (and AI generated songs are the most likely to be unidentified by the average persone in my opinion).

But the examples picked by the captain are objectively bad arguments to define intelligence and coscence, as we are being clearly demonstrated in these recent years. Current AI models are pretty darn good at transformative art, probably more than the average person, and that ok, just like a car is objectively faster than any person could possibly be, or a robotic arm is infitely more precise.

The irony is that nowadays, something that is universally considered non-human is able to do these things, arguably better than the average human.

Energy is nof only used to “create” value, but also to hold it. Even when you reach the limit of 21 something milion bitcoins, every transaction will require a huge amount of energy, and the amount it requires will go up.

Can you really call it winter below 20°?

I asked a therapist the same question and they said: “the problem is you are costantly trying to find a solution for a problem that doesn’t have one, if you are feeling down, sometimes there really is no other solution other than waiting, processing and coping. Take your time if you are not in a crisis and let it pass through”

CGP grey did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE

Basically one car breaking too much will make the following brake even more and so on until one stops and there’s a jam. There is no clear reason like a road blockage or an accident, just compounding slow down.

Not defending Israel or the UK or denying Plastine genoice, but Iran’s president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it. Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here.

Not sure about USA, but in other countries istigation to suicide is absolutely illegal and punished.
