Eugenics is mostly associated with selective breeding so that’s a no in that regard. I do think modifying our children genetically will become more common place and will be an important part of future off earth colonies.

Other companies didn’t pay the arbitration fee so valves system was a bit better than the rest. Realistically, the consumer always gets fucked.

The point is more that Steam is getting praised for this, while it’s just to make class action lawsuits, like the one they were just served with for their anti-competitive and monopolistic behaviors, much costlier for the other party.

Set up the system for them and let it do the talking I guess?

They can have both until they realize they don’t need both.

I remember my buddy doing this and getting stitches on his hand and shoulder. We were 10, kids can be dumb sometimes.

I’m kind of impressed they made a whole ignition system with a battery and everything tbh.

Avoid anything that comes in plastic packaging and distill your own water. You will still need to drink normal water but I can’t imagine any municipality is currently equipped to deal with microplastic so reducing your intake is probably a good idea.

Short of moving somewhere very rural and growing all your own food, it is close to impossible.

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie’s portrayal of romance. Each relationship seems thoroughly inconvenient to both parties when it starts and it never actually ends well.

I could see trump being anti mutant

If we can’t find something to live for, we will find something to die for.

This one is a good one too, in the article as well.

It’s just an innocent bug that happens every update!

If it’s about having your blog serve as AI training, it doesn’t really matter where you host it, it’s going to get scrapped and included in the data.

I’m currently going to through the BBC classics ultimate story collection. I also liked the BBC radio 4 rendition of Dorian grey. The radio ones tend to have multiple voices and some special effects. I also loved the blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

If you like sci-fi, I can recommend the children of time and deepness in the sky. Vernor vinge also has a novella in audio format called fast times at Ridgemont high.

Audio books are nice. I like short story collections where each story is maybe 20 to 40 minutes long.

Lots of the older rainbow sixs. Las Vegas had a fun campaign but a lot of the earlier ones were just scenarios

Copyrights and IP laws don’t only come into effect if profit is made. Fan products are usually tolerated by companies because it’s free advertising and fans get angry when it does get taken down.

When a fan product starts making money, it’s usually because it directly competes with the original IP and then they act. Even then, Etsy has thousands of shops with copyrighted content but the small profit loss doesnt justify the loss of reputation for the companies.

That being said, it’s the user who uploads it who is at fault and not the tool used to create it.

Ultimately, I think it’s the platforms that let users upload copyrighted content and celebrity likenesses that should be at fault. Take for example the Taylor Swift debacle. An image generator was used to create the images sure but twitter chose to let it float on their website for a whole day even though it was most likely reported in the first 5 minutes.

There’s also the fact that if we start demanding AI doesn’t use copyrighted content, it kills the open source scene and cements Google and Microsoft’s grip on our economy as we move towards an AI driven society.

I really liked how he envisioned space travel and the culture that came with it. A small but rich detail was how all the time measurements where given using kiloseconds and mega seconds to describe months and years since a nomadic space tribe would have little use for calendars associated to orbits. It’s creative and thought out.

His books and short stories set in a sooner future where society and our education system is vastly different because of AR are a lot of fun as well.

Also, space spiders.

I highly suggest you ban what the were advertising and not just the account.

If advertiser’s realize the shady bot farms they deal with are causing any comment that mentions their product to be automatically deleted, they will stop.

The way I see it, it would be coupled with the tool and not the intention someone has with it. So every microwave would render it properly at all time, as well as most electronics just by their very nature, regardless of what the person plans to do with it.

Actually I think they can probably just approximate the microwave stuff and just keep the electrical tools rendering like oscilloscopes.

They only need to render for things that give an exact measurement, the microwave trick has a 3% tolerance which is huge in the scope of things.

It seems like a lot but it’s less than simulating every single atom imo.

There would be no need to go that far at all times is what I’m saying. It’s the equivalent of a game rendering stuff far away only when you use a scope. Why render everything at all times if it isn’t being used and does not affect the experience. It would augment the overhead by an insane amount for little to no gain.

This is also just a thought exercise.

If it was a simulation, there would be no need to go that far. We simulate physics without simulating the individual atoms.

None of it would be real, the microscopic effects would just be approximated unless a precise measurement tool would be used and then they would be properly simulated.

We wouldn’t know the difference.

I don’t follow. If there are others it would render for them just as much as me. I’m saying it wouldn’t need to render at an automic level except for the few that are actively measuring at that level.
