I agree that this is probably the inevitable end result of the proliferation of the technology. The journey society is going to have to take to get to that point is going to be pretty uncomfortable though I think.

Ken Lee!

The basic idea of reducing air drag with a vacuum is a good one, but there are so many practical problems with a solution like the hyperloop that it should have been shot down earlier than it was. The problem of thermal expansion across a structure hundreds of miles long while needing to maintain a near vacuum was never solved.

I don’t understand why image generators can’t just make a quick call to a chatGPT API? It’s incredibly competent at producing convincing text.

For all the amazing technology and futuristic ideas found in the Star Trek universe, I can’t remember ever seeing a comfortable looking bed in any of the series.

The droopy headlights are perfect!

Not a fraud hack from Milwaukee?

I guess this is me now.

I think the Japanese language handles this pretty well. People typically refer to someone by name, even when speaking directly to them where “you” would be used in English.

Ah, I found the link at the bottom of the main page. I had no idea there were so many instances!

I believe this is how Google handles leap years and leap seconds on all of their servers. They kind of smear the difference out over a period of time so the difference isn’t noticeable. Great for day to day activities, but people doing scientific measurements or other precision date work would probably have to use their own solution.

5+ sets are also possible and can get very intricate.

Interesting. Is there a way to see which servers mine is currently federated with?

If I happen to be the doctor and it’s someone else going under I’d say “Okay, let’s get this leg amputated!” when that is NOT the actual operation happening.

The way AI is heading, the future is gonna get pretty damn weird. A little childhood trauma will probably help those fourth graders grow into adults that can handle it.

If there aren’t compilation instructions in the readme, check the source code for a “/docs” durectory. Sometimes you can find instructions there.

XFCE Debian is my perfect OS. Just does what I need and that’s all. Why look anywhere else?

That sounds like almost every Mythbusters episode ever.

“RIP my inbox”, “How do I delete someone else’s comment”, etc

PDA: I had a Compaq iPAQ which I never really got the hang of using.

DVD-R: For a while this was a great way to back things up, before large flash storage was a thing.
