Why would they slaughter natives so a distant relative could have a virtual field?

The post is about video games.

Well no one can prove they have a mind to anyone other than themselves.

And to extend that, there’s obviously a way for electrical information processing to give rise to consciousness. And no one knows how that could be possible.

Meaning something like a true, alien AI would probably conclude that we are not conscious and instead are just very intelligent meat computers.

So, while there’s no reason to believe that current AI models could result in consciousness, no one can prove the opposite either.

I think the argument currently boils down to, “we understand how AI models work, but we don’t understand how our minds work. Therefore, ???, and so no consciousness for AI”

He’s successful in spite of himself. He makes terrible decisions constantly.

For people who value reading: if they have no books on their shelves. They might be avid readers of ebooks, or just use the library.

But this should clear itself up with a rather simple discussion started by mentioning a book you read recently.

The people who claim “real estate value!” have just latched onto the simplest reason they can which aligns with their worldview.

The reasons I suspect companies are forcing return to office are more:

• shareholders don’t like unused assets, so they tell the ceo to “use it or lose it”
• the people who make the decision have the type of extroverted personality where they actually do work better in the office and they can’t fathom people being different
• the people who make the decision prefer to have the office full because it makes them feel more powerful. They can see the people they lord over.

But the good news is that it’ll be the coolest year for the foreseeable future 🙂

It would help all of their competitors. A non zero number of people would move from windows to each of the others.

Whether or not the number moving away from windows and on to each of the others is significant or not is a different matter.

The biggest thing helping Linux right now is Valve’s work improving the gaming experience, IMO.

Yeah, if anyone thinks this is bad, they haven’t seen what legit alcoholism is like.

It would look like maybe 15 caps per person, but they’d be caps of vodka handles.

Looking for drinks where they are listed is a good rule of thumb to find drinks lower in calories than the average.

Not even the clouds are safe!

I did the same thing and have the same attitude. I still watch what few Netflix shows are any good. They just aren’t getting any of my money any more 🙂

I think it’s more common for people to rotate which service they’re subscribed to each month.

But piracy is still increasing in popularity.

It can be as simple as running a VPN on your computer, and downloading torrents through a torrent app on the same computer. Then you can just watch the videos you download however you like.

If you want a Netflix-like interface for what you’ve downloaded, run Plex or Jellyfin and point them to your downloads. Get the plex or jellyfin app on your tv, tablet, phone, etc as well. The app will see plex running on your computer and you’re good to go.

You can keep getting more advanced depending on what you want. For example you can use apps like Sonarr and Radarr to automatically send movies and shows to your download app as they come out. You can also use things like Bazarr to automatically get subtitles. Tdarr to encode what you download if you want to do something like make sure everything works on your tv and a specific streaming stick (eg: roku).

And on and on.

I use all of that, and have it set up through docker on a server which has access to a giant NAS for storing the files.

Tesla under pays compared to other car companies.

We won’t always need it. It’ll run out eventually so it has to be replaced at some point. Even if you ignore the climate change part.

I just don’t understand how people find accounts they like to follow.

Doesn’t golf have benefits for wildfires? The courses act as a fire break and if they’re built on the edge of towns can help stop the fire.

It does nothing to fix the root cause but things that help mitigate climate disasters are good too.

Desktop OS on a tablet is fine and even preferred depending on what you want it for.

I have a surface and don’t mind using full windows that way.
