Nooooo, do you really think we’ll need a computer to run it? You don’t say, and I thought we’d just use one of the big 1920s lever boards with lots of Frankenstein style switches and big manual valves and just work really really fast.
It’s hilarious that you’re phrasing as if the software is the problem, and the gigantic, multi billion dollar facility that is required to do it.
That’s not even a joke.
The most pessimistic cost for ITER, the first real fusion reactor, is 65 billion dollars in total.
In the last two years, we (people) have spent over 600 billion dollars on LLM shit. Mostly datacenters and GPUs.
“I need help from someone strong here.” That’s really what they needed.
Offtopic-ish, but a couple of years ago, I couldn’t open a jar, so it said “ugh, I’m going to need a tool for this”. Then my then-boyfriemd walks by, opens it and goes “you’re welcome”. I had to explain why I was laughing so hard.
I still tease my now-husband with that every time I need a hand.
Im a doctor, just not a medical one.
Also, nobody ever calls me doctor.
I just realized I’m an adult too. Hmmmmm
Not for dinner though.
I remember when steam launched, and we all fucking hated the “always online” requirement because be all had dialup and switching steam to offline mode was a damn annoying hassle.
Vacuum beds are definitely a thing in real life. This prooooobably isn’t, but its not my kink so I can’t say for certain.
Fair point. I haven’t even met most rats, let alone all of them.
classic economic theory
To be fair, that’s like 150 years old, back when they believed in spontaneous generation, and the idea that continents move was absurd and crazy.
I don’t think rats meow though.
Not at all. I’m saying you should interact and stand behind your interactions.
For example, you downvoted my post, which is fine. You also replied, which is also fine. Why is it bad that one isn’t on your profile (but it is public) and the other is openly visible in a list on your profile?
Interactions are by default public, otherwise there’s no point to interacting. I’d go one further and say that having the voting information public but not visible by default is by far the worst option.
Economics is basically social psychology with some numbers sprinkled in.
Orchids indicate s… Wait…
i find it concerning because this enables creating a very detailed profile of a users interests, political alignment, medical issues, sexual orientation etc. Even if they never post anything!
So don’t interact. What you read isn’t stored, but if you interact, it should be public.
For example I accidentally upvoted a really disgusting NSFW post misclicking on my phone.
I agree that it’s dumb you don’t have a “my votes” page where you can remove that. But you can go to said post and just remove your vote.
Downvoting is a mental disorder.
That’s hilarious and simultaneously really sad
Why is that concerning? The whole system was meant to be transparent
This is literally what we do in the Netherlands though. There’s a bigger and bigger push to group underground works from multiple parties to reduce cost and nuisance
I wanted to design bridges and/or so something with history. So I went to school, took one year of civil engineering and realized that the last on earth I wanted to do was design bridges.
Switched to chemistry, got a PhD, realized the second-to-last thing I wanted to do was academia, followed closely by lab work.
Unfortunately I finished right in the middle of the housing crash, so I did QA for a factory for a bit (which combined a little policy stuff with a lot of labwork). Then went back to civil engineering, aiming for something chemistry ike asphalt or concrete.
That didn’t really work out, but I did end up being vastly overqualified for my job there. Rolled into safety and compliance by virtue of being the least unqualified person there. They paid for another college level degree during office hours, and then fired me after restructuring (thanks for the free degree guys!) so now I’m self-employed in safety and compliance, I do audits and help people and the environment stay safe and clean.
I do historical reenactment as a hobby, because history is cool!
