This is one of the things that pisses me off about the Star Trek “fans” who point to the Replicator tech (which wasn’t introduced until the Next Generation series) as the reason humanity was able to end scarcity. No, it absolutely was not what ended scarcity in the Star Trek universe. What ended scarcity was the absolute end of capitalism. We have now and have had for over a century, the capability to end world hunger and provide housing for every man woman and child on the planet. We don’t do it because it would remove the overinflated value of those things as well as the obscene wealth of the rich.

Meanwhile, on my feed there’s a post directly below this one about a compiler that will give you BSDM messages for good and bad coding and can even be hooked up to a remote butt plug to pleasure you when you compile a successful program.

If you read any of the article OP provided, you’ll see that the common belief that they were simply using the wind was false and they actually use electric currents in the air.

The part that makes me really laugh is that this mouth breather was replying to Hank Green. Like, Tyson is an overbearing know it all, so I can see people being into trying to “debate” him so that can use his arrogance to justify their dumb beliefs. But Green is a very ground level science communicator who can always bring these kinds of idiotic arguments down to earth and destroy them with plain logic.

They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.

The problem is that it’s not actually counting anything. It’s simply looking for some text somewhere in its database that relates to that word and the number of R’s in that word. There’s no mechanism within the LLM to actually count things. It is not designed with that function. This is not general AI, this is a Generative Adversarial Network that’s using its vast vast store of text to put words together that sound like they answer the question that was asked.

Yeah it’ll be like the machine that you find in museums where you put in a quarter and get an injection molded toy hot out of the mold. You just hook your arm up to an IV and it starts extracting your blood and then when it gets enough of the plastic it melts it and pushes it into the mold and spits out a little toy dinosaur.

Most people aren’t working on a contract. And in the U.S. most states are at-will employment (something companies lobby heavily for) meaning you can be fired for any reason whatsoever, but is also means you can quit at any time you like in whatever manner suits you.

🤦 The movie is based on shorts that aired on MTV’s Liquid Television in the mid 90’s.
It eventually got its own full show as well.
- Comment on The Faculty, any day 1 month ago:
I blame the marketing for that movie not doing well. People went expecting a “wacky Jim Carrey flick” and what they got was a surreal and frightening thriller.
Eddie Murphy’s “Holy Man” suffers that bad marketing issue as well. They plastered so many ads making it out to be a loony Eddie Murphy film and the film is more of a drama about believing in one’s self and not seeking external validation, with a few gags in it making fun of television shopping networks and the stupid shit people buy from them cause yeah, it’s Eddie Murphy of course they’re gonna have fun with it. But that’s only like 1/3rd of the film.

The one we have is a Bosch and IMO it’s the worst. If I had been in charge of replacing our old one I would have chosen something way better.
It’s indicator for the cycle being done? A tiny beep that goes off like every 5 minutes or so for maybe an hour. Otherwise, the first person to open the door gets to see the clean dishes indicator light. After that it’s anyone’s guess. And the wash cycle is extremely quiet (this is actually a nice feature if it weren’t for the fact that it’s impossible to tell if it’s in the middle of a cycle or fully done other than the afore mentioned faint intermittent beep).

I’m actually more pissed off that here in 2025 we haven’t developed a dishwasher that has a blow dry cycle. Like, just have a small water tight door that flips open to reveal a fan that circulates warm air to dry the dishes.
But no, instead we have the dubious development of dishwashers that no longer have a cup for the prewash soap (which is still 100% necessary) because those stupid pods exist and on some models all the indicator lights have been relocated to the inside of the door where you can’t see if the cycle is done unless you open the door which, if the dishwasher is still in the middle of washing, will disrupt the cycle.
- Comment on IT’S THE FEDS! 2 months ago:
LoL, this just reminded me of the movie “Shoot 'em Up” with Clive Owen’s character being a stone cold badass while munching on carrots he grows in his garage.
BTW, though it is a cartoonishly ridiculous action flick, “Shoot 'em Up” is a terrifically fun movie to watch.

This is because “The Drug War” is just a device for political persecution of the people that whoever is in power wants to harass or outright remove. It’s the Nixon Playbook and it’s not just Republicans who use it.
