  • You guys aren't using cheat codes irl?

  • Well in a real universe I expect a tool that we can use to measure things, let's call it a 'ruler'. And our ruler is small, like the smallest thing we have discovered. So when we try to measure something smaller than that, hmm.... I guess it kinda gets fuzzy....

    ....wait a min...

  • It's not too hard. AI requires a LOT of work. Work requires energy. Some energy is wasted during this and the byproduct is heat. The heat has to be removed for many reasons, and water is very good at doing that.

    It's like sweating, it cools you down. But you need water to sweat.

  • But isn't 'cold' a measure of a particle's energy, much the same as 'hot' is? Wouldn't a true vacuum be neither hot nor cold? I mean, I get the analogy, but Isn't the real issue that there's not enough matter to transfer energy between things. So like, no matter how hot it is, it's just not going anywhere? Or am I way off mark?

  • You mean Now Go HBO Max.... or something....

  • Even better: Freeze them!!! Seriously, it tastes like banana ice cream. It's delicious!

  • Perhaps he means the process of setting it up. Or when it doesn't work. Or when passkeys are lost. Or using another device. A lot of people's complaints about passkeys aren't really about when it works.

    It's valid I think, but also some people forget passwords can have similar experiences. For one, there seems to be this idea that if you lose your passkey you get locked out of your account forever. The recovery process should be no different than losing your password.

  • No. It's a completely different process. It's a bad name for what it actually does. (Unless you're talking about how computers do things, then EVERYTHING is numbers)

    Look up public/private key pair encryption. It's the process that has changed.

    The problem with all these "what are passkeys" guides is that it's difficult to convey the differences between password and passkeys if you don't have a deep understanding of encryption or authentication systems.

  • Listen. If ICE can tell the difference between a citizen and an immigrant, then you can tell the difference between ICE and imitators. Right? ....right?

  • I haven't been in the loop, but wasn't pragmata everyone's hope for a MegaMan reboot?

  • Alternative version:

    I didn't know what to write. I already told everyone I loved my feelings, why should I do that again? Instead, I wrote to all the people I didn't know, the ones I think about a lot. I heard that girl say something stupid. I saw that guy ask a girl out and get turned down. I saw that person walk into a glass door, then stumble on the stairs. In fact, I think about those things a lot. Why? I don't know. But when people tell me I shouldn't dwell on my past mistakes because nobody else does, I know it's a lie. I do it all the time, and everyone I know has a story to tell about something they saw at one time. The idea that 'only you can judge yourself' pisses me off, because it flies in the face of reality. But then I get told I need to seek professional advice and the first thing I get told is to just stick my head in the sand and that I'm doing this to myself. The irony? This is a huge mistake you and yours have made, and you don't even know it. And I judge you every second of it.

    everyone claps, therapist cries, patient dies, charges filed, murder trial commences, judge has existential crisis, government collapses, world falls apart, etc.

    Yeah that totally happened.

  • I get what you mean, you're not the only one. There are generations of games that have explicitly trained you on fast twitch button mashing with graceful dodge frames and intentionally engineered safeguards so rng is in your favor to bring about the best experience. And I'm not mocking you....it's just how it is and it gets me too. Trying to unlearn that is hard.

    I also hate the 'difficult for the sake of difficult'. I know some people get a high over doing something incredible, but I don't get that from banging my head on the same thing over and over. Any souls, souls-like, souls-lite or weighty mechanics games like MH get a hard pass from me.

    However, I really enjoyed Remnant, it's a mp souls-like - something about witnessing everyone's shenanigans but still being able to pick each other off the floor is a lot of fun. It feels different and more like what souls should have been (imho).

  • This is a case of 'it depends '. The damage isn't caused by something being on or off. It's everywhere. Disconnecting can isolate damage from small storms, but world ending storms have enough energy to jump air gaps and the surges would be faster than most breakers can react to. You'd physically have to rip the cables from your house to be safe. Smaller, battery powered devices would be more susceptible regardless if they were on/off. Batteries are a concern because you don't want them to incur damage/blow up due to an electric surge.

    If this sounds overblown remember that during the Carrington Event, telegraph lines continued to operate for hours even after batteries were removed. In some cases, lines sparked and damaged equipment or personnel. These are very powerful storms that naturally induce electric current in circuitry.

  • Nah man, you're wrong. Just saying. /s

  • Something to note, some AF ACT operations can be contracted out. This means that even the AF doesn't have enough even for its own operations, and that number probably reflects the available number of 'wartime' operators available.

    Also, the military operates under a huge umbrella of tasks, where a 1C1 wouldn't 'just be' ACT - that would be your 'wartime' job (specifically when you first enter), and you are ever becoming more generalized to handle a broader scope of tasks and responsibilities. If every 1C1 were used, you'd lose a lot of managers, support, training and etc to put people who are 1C1 who may not have done ATC work in years. Think First Sergeants and the like, they could do it - but you'd lose someone who has the knowledge of all 1C operations and go back to just doing ATC. That's a heavy ask.

    So the outlook is even worse than you suggest.

  • Gamblers Fallacy. This only applies if the events are independent. A six sided die will always be six sided.

    You wouldn't apply Gambler's Fallacy to a standard game of Blackjack for example. You don't have to be a card counter to understand that the probability of a card changes as each one is played.

    We don't know what causes magnetic reversal, and it could be many random or non-random factors that lead up to it or some other external factor. Is it a dice roll, or is there something stacking the deck?

  • Yes, but the military cannot just quit and find another job. They are not told to "go home and wait until a budget is passed." And they must bear the associated costs of operation that they would typically get reimbursed for.

    It's not that people in other agencies aren't suffering, it's that most those in the military would be the first to have problems that both affect the individual and the government's power.

    As another (but silly) counterpoint, the government shutdown affects every citizen, nay, the world itself. Since the USA is such an important world power, the act of shutting down has wide consequences if it goes on long enough. So won't you think of the billionaires?

  • Back in the day FFXIV 1.0 distributed updates via torrent iirc.

  • How is grave of the fireflies not at the top of this list?
