  • Immortality is fine, until you end up stuck somewhere forever.

    It's inevitable, it might be 10 years from now you'll get stuck under a mudslide and buried forever, but conscious.

    In a billion years, you'll get stuck inside the expanding sun forever.

    In a few trillion years you'll get stuck floating in the void of space forever as the universe expanded into nothingness.

    Immortality needs some sort of way out, or else you'll eventually end up suffering forever (what's a trillion years to someone who will live for eternity?)

  • Focus groups show that the audience gets confused by the word "goodbye" and think the movie is over and leave.

    They kept getting bad reviews about how the movie was only 37 minutes long and had an unsatisfying story arc.

  • Or... Should I finish the box? I ate the five of them, seems weird to just let the sixth one sit here.

  • How do you exercise your dogs in bad weather?

  • That's good to know, I guess I'll give it a try again.

  • The two ways of fighting profiteering

    Jump

  • Software is free if you aren't using it for commercial use. Fusion 360, onshape, etc. are all free for personal use. And that's assuming someone didn't make it already and share it free.

    Filament costs $17 for 1kg of perfectly fine plastic. You'd probably use 100g at most for this, so $1.70.

    A Bambu A1 mini is $200, and is a modern, high quality printer that would be fine for this project.

    So you only need like a half dozen of these projects to come out ahead.

  • Can astronauts jerk off or toss the troff in space? Would their heart monitors would show it to be elevated? Or can or has any two astronauts ever had sex in space?

  • I know what I have

  • The random seed of AI images are black and white static, so you end up with a similar amount of very dark and very light areas.

    Once you notice that, it's really easy to identify an AI image. Normal pictures don't have that.

    The statue is overly dark, and the wall is overly bright. You wouldn't get that with a camera and normal lights.

  • Which animal will replace humans as Earth's dominant species? This scientist has an idea

    Jump

  • It's unlikely an aquatic species can achieve technological breakthroughs needed to spread like humans can. It would be very difficult for them to build fires, smelt metal, and create the advances based off of those tools.

    While they can be extremely smart and adaptable, it's difficult to imagine how a species like that could develop machines.

    Sure, there's possible ways around it, like natural vents and geothermal power, but why would they utilize these resources without a benefit like cooking?

  • What do you mean, increase soil fertility?

    Jump

  • Watched an explanation of AI generated images and they pointed out that since the images start with a seed of black and white noise, they (almost) always come out with an even mix of light and dark areas.

    Once you see it, AI images are much easier to spot.

  • The Steam Deck has finally been surpassed — by a fork of Valve’s own experience - Bazzite turns the Asus ROG Ally X into today’s best handheld while putting Windows to shame.

    Jump

  • I'm sure Valve loves the fact that more people are locked into the Steam store.

    Steam is great, and there's workarounds for using other installed games/stores, but... kinda feels bad that this stuff is so integrated into the Valve/Steam experience.

    Don't get me wrong, I use my steam deck... a lot... and I buy most of my games on Steam... I just wish GOG and Epic integration was a little more integrated, just so I don't feel so locked in to one company. (yes, I'm aware of heroic launcher, and other options, but they're still just hacked on extra steps that don't always work)

  • I suppose that doesn't hurt anything...

    Jump

  • That's just the plot to Honey I Shrunk the Kids. Depending on how old your group is, it might be nostalgic, or novel.

  • It wasn't the inventor it was an owner/investor. Just like Musk, he didn't invent anything he just threw cash at things.

    People confuse investors with inventors way too often.

  • how much power does your system need?

    Jump

  • I'm using an old laptop with the lid closed. Uses 10w.

    All in, including my router, switches, modem, laptop, and NAS, I'm using 50watts +/- 5.

    It does everything I need, and I feel like that's pretty efficient.

  • Kinda painful when it rains, cause of the titanium pins

  • To be fair, there's a big difference between "extending the lift to trillions of years" and "extending the life forever."

    No matter what we do, there's an end date to existence. Best we can do is huddle around a supermassive black hole for the last few trillion years until time itself ends.

  • Kinda, but also there's stuff that we need to learn new physics for, like FLT travel.

    We can create some math saying it's technically possible, but we have no idea how to create the things we need to make it work.

    Then there's hibernation. We see it in some animals, but we need to know new things about biology to make it work in people.

    There are many categories of "possible" and some of them mean we just need enough people working on it. And some of them mean we need to learn new fundamental science to be able to even start to understand what it takes.

    Extraordinarily expensive, but we could theoretically do it without inventing anything groundbreaking.
