Irony, since Scarlet had dubbed over the original voice actor Samantha Morton because in post Spike Jonze realized the voice needed something “different”. So in the movie they needed to turn the dial up a bit, while in reality they started at 11 and had to dial it back.
Languages change over time. As long as the intent is clear, don’t get hung up on what is and isn’t “correct”. “You’re welcome” probably was seen as extreme at some point itself.
Be sure to have backups and not that sole location. Same is true of any physical drive, but at least a drive failure might be recoverable. A cloud storage can just be gone one day.
That’s rather symbolic of the state of things today.
Alternate history is messy. Look at all the speculative stories of how time travelers going back to get Hitler end up making a worse future for various reasons. Hitler is likely to have protection by the time police from time traveling “heroes” because so many think this is an easy fix.
During a flight is a bit much, but some aircraft have a reboot between flights as a standard procedure to fix glitches that would happen if the plane was left on for the entire time.
A third question is, can it scale up to what’s needed to begin to make a dent in the problem. The answer will unfortunately always be no, not even close. That’s how much we’ve put in the air and oceans, the numbers are huge.
It’s complicated. The breakdown of methane in the atmosphere depends on hydroxyl radicals that are created at a regular rate. If you have more and more methane released, and/or you have other chemicals that also react with those radicals, the overall average half life will increase. Both those things are happening, so the old half life really isn’t as accurate as it used to be. Guess which number the IPCC still uses for its models though.
They didn’t create the first MP3 player, but they created the first massively commercially successful one.
Going back to what others have mentioned about Apple, the iPod’s success was a big part because of the intuitive interface. If it’s easy to learn and use, it will become popular.
It’s not AGI that’s terrifying, but how people are so willing to let anything take over their control. LLMs are “just” predictive text generation with a lot of extras to make things come out really convincing sometimes, and yet so many individuals and companies basically handed over the keys without even second guessing its answers.
These past few years have shown how if (and it’s a big if) AGI/ASI comes along, we are so screwed, because we can’t even handle dumber tools well. LLMs in the hands of willing idiots can be a disaster itself, and it’s possible we’re already there.
Only if it’s a federally approved REAL ID license.
I try to be impartial and let them dig the hole themselves. Silence so far is damning.

As a Gen-X I have to ask what exactly is meant by that. That you openly admit cyber bullying gives some hint, but I’d rather get a self definition than to assume.
Because before Firefox I used Netscape. It’s had its ups and downs but it’s never been bad to me to the point of considering moving to anything else. So a combo of legacy and that it works.
I want to say (and this could be totally wrong and bad memory) that in an official discussion (in IRC?) about the game’s progress that very fact was brought up by someone, and Brad McQuaid (head designer) agreed that it would be unlikely to happen in the real game and was just used as a appealing demonstration of the basic idea of the game.
I do remember a few online chats with the developers, just can’t be sure of my recollection of that specific topic.
I appreciate the work that went into making P99 happen, but I made the mistake of trying to recapture nostalgia and played P99 for a while. It just wasn’t the same feeling as when new, even though it’s the same code. It’s why I won’t ever touch the Ultima Online servers that I know are out there, they also aren’t the same as what I played in the beginning. Just cherish the memories of such epic games and look forward to new ones that hopefully are able to capture the same magic of their own.
This video was what I first saw, beginning my intense following of the game developments and then jumping into the beta when it started. Then years of playing afterwards.
A few good speculations in the article (tumbling from the impact or ejecta coming back and imparting more change). Plus the HERA mission is scheduled to do an observation in a year or so to give even more data to work with.
The console also includes a new wired joystick designed to look and feel just like the original.
This isn’t the selling point they think it is. I mean I get people will pay lots of money for nostalgia, but joysticks back then used the Atari stick as a baseline that they were above.
I agree that’s it’s a “hate the game, not the player”. The issue is how much influence he could have to steer the market to favor his product vs. the competition. It’s happened so many times in history where the better product fails because they can’t play the game like the inferior company.
To quote “Pirates of Silicon Valley”:
Steve Jobs: We’re better than you are! We have better stuff.
Bill Gates: You don’t get it, Steve. That doesn’t matter!
So is it fair for the consumer for big companies to be able to influence the game itself and not just play within the same rules? I’d say no.
