And having all body parts is also a worthwhile trait in a partner. But that doesn’t mean you get a license to call them gross.
Stupid is most definitely not a just choice.

OK, but how will we ever get to “great” AI if we don’t invest in less great AI to drive research. If the luddites on Lemmy calls the shots, Data will never see the light of day.

Yeah? How does it work, then?

Fun fact: due to the uncertainty principle, light actually spreads out as a circular wave of probability from the Sun out into the solar system. It may or may not interact with something on the way - once it does, the probability wave function collapses into a certainty and is no longer spread out through the vast distances of space.
So this particular packet of light could be just about to interact with a rock on the Moon, when fate decides that it will instead end up drying your cum sock.

Firewatch and What remains of Edith Finch both take around four hours to finish. You can easily finish them in a day or two.

Hey, it’s subjective. And you’re misrepresenting what I’m saying. I’m not saying there haven’t been games with excellent storytelling. FF7, Another World, Space Quest 3 come to my mind. There are undoubtedly a hundred more. But in reality those games still appealed more to us kids than my dad. With TLOU I feel like something new happened: the story resonated more with the dad in the house (me) than with the kids.

- Firewatch
- What remains of Edith Finch
- Outer wilds
The first two are “walking simulators”, i.e. very linear. But the story telling of all three is amazing. Firewatch also feels like a “game for grown-ups”. It deals with a person who leaves his wife because she gets early onset dementia. He runs off to work as a firewatch in a national park. Lots of complicated feelings involved and an extremely engaging mystery unfolding.

Neither was Leisure Suit Larry. But I’d argue that the the game still appealed more to kids than to adults. With TLOU I saw something else happen: many kids hated the ending, while dads like me totally got it.

If we want to be charitable there’s a nugget of truth to what he’s saying though. I’m 48 now and I’ve played computer games since I was seven, and I’ve worked with game development myself. TLOU was the first game that felt like it had a story for someone who’s 40+. It felt like some kind of milestone. The art of games has matured significantly in the past 15 years.

In my experience, judging from the subjective felt effect when drinking it, the amount of caffeine in filter coffee can vary by a factor 3x depending on brewing technique. I just came back from the U.K. and the hotel breakfast coffee there did less for me in three cups than a single cup from my Fellow Aiden coffee brewer at home. I used to cold brew coffee but had to stop because the apparently higher caffeine content gave me heart problems.
- Comment on They call me the problem solver 1 month ago:
I’m aware of the amount of coffee, but unaware of the caffeine content in that coffee

How would you even begin to know your caffeine intake

Not just usually; this is how WIMP user interfaces have worked since the 80s, regardless if you use a mouse or another device (e.g. keyboard) to scroll the viewport. It’s built into the data model of the UI toolkit.

I own a house, and I make payments to a mortgage company every month, and I’m pretty sure it would be illegal for that mortgage company to put a fucking Spider-Man billboard in my yard, facing my front windows.
So… you don’t own a house, the bank owns it. Don’t give them ideas.

As a Swede I find this utterly embarrassing, and more than just mildly infuriating. These are just criminals who use football as an excuse to hate on society.
- Comment on Statistically unlikely 2 months ago:
So what are the prime factors of 1?
- Comment on Statistically unlikely 2 months ago:
But by that reasoning, 7 is not prime because you can do 7, 1*7, 1*1*7 etc.
- Comment on Statistically unlikely 2 months ago:
the uniqueness constraint is why 1 is not prime.
There’s more than one way to multiply numbers to get 1?
