  • Also true, but where does that tie in to a comment saying this is a good thing? Like where did the Jesus freaks come in? We could just as easily be happy about a good thing happening.

  • You're not wrong, but why are you bringing that up in response to that?

  • Could be a tilt shift lens which can distort perspective and make a photo look as if it's being taken from a slightly different angle. Not sure what to look for to disprove that hypothesis though.

  • And using llms on them instead of wasting my time is a solution. One solution of many.

  • Ah, alright that's a fair point. Once one of those splits happened then that single life form would have become the common ancestor for all other life. I'm satisfied with that explanation.

  • Why? To who? How?

  • Well it's good to know my schooling might not be a complete waste at least

  • Well the job market for developers is still pretty tight at the moment. I don't have the insight to say for sure why (though I have some guesses), but I know that for me and every junior developer I know it's rough out there.

  • Number 2.

    5 could work if it was refined a bit more.

  • What if a bunch of the earliest life spontaneously formed by the millions independently in different places? Would we all really have a true single common ancestor then?

    Edit: I think there's been a misunderstanding. I believe that all life on earth came from the same "species", being the same kind of structure spontaneously generated in the primordial soup, but that there could've been a number of those structures that were generated and were all identical to each other. This would mean that any of them could evolve from the same starting point in terms of "design", but not literally be the exact same object, meaning that we could have a number of origin ancestors that were all identical, and were potentially not an exact one singular living thing.

  • It'll be fine. Sharks are older than trees so we can switch to them.

  • It's likely a scheme to entice people onto their platform because they're not as trusted as valve or gog. If they become a monopoly then we'll get to see all the various catches to that.

  • The effects vary a lot from person to person. For me, amphetamines cause brain fog. I remember years ago when I was first prescribed them, they worked great to treat my ADHD. I never felt any addictive tendencies and could stop using them for extended periods without any cravings or even withdrawal symptoms. Around the end of high school they started to give me horrible brain fog though, it would take me a few seconds to even recognize my name, I had a hard time remembering where I was or how I got there, it was pretty bad. I stopped using them pretty shortly after I figured out the cause of my symptoms. Definitely best to talk to a doctor about it, don't assume it's going to work for you.

  • I'm sure to a lot of people this fact is no surprise, but from my neck of the woods I haven't even heard of this stuff.

  • I didn't read the article, i just want to rant into the void about this thing that itches in my mind when I see this topic.

    I don't want a robot that looks human. Even if they manage to make one that's convincing and isn't nightmare fuel, I'm still going to be uncomfortable around it. It's because of the fact that this robot's existence would be inherently deceptive, trying to fool you into thinking you're talking to a human, only for you to find out that this thing isn't human. It falls out of the visual uncanny valley, but into an entirely new one, a more existential uncanny valley. If you want me to trust a robot, you can't make it immediately try to deceive me into thinking it's human. Look at movies and cartoons, the most appealing robots in those media are obviously robots. I'm sure there are a good few Androids that look human and are appealing in their own way, but for the most part you get things like Wall-e, or baymax, or r2d2, designs that are not trying to fool you into thinking they're human. All of those designs have a charm or appeal to them, and they all look like robots. I don't know where I'm going with this, I'm gonna go to bed.

  • This is how I'd explain it. More specifically this is an example of a concept called a "dummy pronoun" in English. Phrases like "it is clear that..." Or "it is raining" are using "it" as a dummy pronoun. They're used to express a verb without expressing a subject. in other words, [verb] is happening.

  • I rarely actually pirate anything. The only time I pirate is when I'm otherwise forced to go through that specific company to do the things I want due to monopoly shit.

    Used to pirate windows before switching to Linux (I still give people I know helpful tips on the process though, not everybody can make the switch yet). Used to pirate MS office and a couple other pieces of software back when I had to use them for school. I would pirate substance painter if a Linux crack was available, but I haven't been able to find one and I can't get the windows version working, so I simply don't use that software. And as for shows and movies, that whole mess of subscriptions, yeah I don't watch pretty much any of it. I buy physical copies when possible and watch stuff with friends who have the services. I use bandcamp for most of my music, sometimes YouTube for discovering new stuff.

    I will however keep up to date on all of the piracy methods because i will not be caught helpless by some shitty company who thinks it's found a way to corner me.
