A supercomputer capable of mimicking the human brain is set to be activated in 2024. The DeepSouth system, developed by researchers at the International Centre for Neuromorphic Systems, uses spiking neural networks to efficiently emulate large networks of neurons, rivaling the rate of operations in the human brain. This...
Too true. Upgrading to NVMe was the most noticeable speed boost I’ve experienced all at once in my history of building my own rigs. It’s was like black magic. Wouldn’t shut up about it to all my friends for a month.
Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat....
There’s a recent anime called “The Great Cleric” that addresses this slightly. People with the ability to heal may charge crazy sums, and even the knowledge of spells that could help may be financially gatekept because of the wealth generated by healing.
I like to imagine healing magic as almost a targeted time reversal. Otherwise, things get would get strange when people are overhealed.
My head cannon is also that repeated magical healing increases the risk of cancers and defects when it is shown as a form of natural regrowth. It’s totally worth using in combat if the alternative is death, but you risk shortening your life with repeated use. This helps explain people having sick battle scars and other wounds in most fantasy settings.
The other explanation that would make sense is that healers are exceptionally rare, but since we are heroes in these stories/games, it just doesn’t seem like it to us.
I feel like that opens up the opportunity to say they experience rapid aging in that area as well, accelerating cell divisions, right next to areas running at normal speed. Probably wouldn’t be great for the circulatory system.
We aren’t doing a genocide in Palestine… feels kinda wrong to diminish the meaning to include people not actually committing the violence while a large portion of their population protests any support the country gets.
It was slow, but I remember a major crack occurring watching Stephen Fry being interviewed when he paraphrased David Hume, paraphrasing Epicurus.
If God is unable to prevent evil, then he is not all-powerful. If God is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not all-good
Things start to fall apart from there. All the other Bible stuff can be explained away as being recorded by imperfect beings, but the core notion of a good God worthy of worship ends with the trilemma.
I had a similar issue in my home where I ran a nighthawk router at the back of my house connected to the ATT router/modem at the front of the house. I let them run as separate networks for a long time, and that prevented anything not connected to the same router as the jellyfin server from seeing it.
I recently got my act together and switched the router to “access point mode” and the house is all 1 network now. The jellyfin server is available on everything in the house as well. After the change, I felt silly I had it the other way for years because it sure helps many of the other wifi objects in my home as well.
I’d like to see more rpgs with skilling systems based on use. Similar to what valheim and skyrim do but greatly expanded and pure. Like I don’t want a single player level or skill point bottleneck. I want silly things like eating running and jumping to scale to absurd levels. I think you should be able to be one punch man if you really go hard on hand to hand.
And because I’m a gamer, and therefore hate myself, make progress slow. I liked how slow Outward felt when I first started and how little confidence the game gave me in my character at the start.
When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s...
I was watching a video from two years ago about different social norms and this showed up. Found someone questioning the same eight years ago on reddit (when it seemed less normalized). It feels so weird not being aware of this shift, even as a foreigner.
I’m exactly the same. I also used to use a generic “have a good one” because I didn’t know what time it was during my evening shift. I did have a person make a minor scene once, saying he hated when people said that because he didn’t know what “one” was in reference to, though.
Weird title, I know. But I’ve recently found out that I’m pregnant with my first child. It’s an equal mix of anxiety, excitement, and anger at just how consumeristic having a goddamn baby is. So I’m curious how my fellow Solarpunks would handle the introduction of a new small mammal into their world....
Are you referring to Amazon Basics stuff? The major brands with good safety records are all also available of Amazon. This just feels like fear mongering.
This is so true. Get ready for compromises. I’m coming up on the 2 month date, and the number of times we’ve just been too tired to shop or reticent to interrupt naps for trips is more than I expected by far.
The “buy it for life” mentality only goes so far when they outgrow everything in a couple of months or you discover your kid just runs hot, so a bunch of clothes that were bought barely see use or they just don’t like the shape of one bottle nipple vs others etc.
I’m glad to have the convenience of generous return policies and not having to stand in a customer service line.
The Amazon registry did use really well, but we signed up a bunch of them to nab all the free stuff. I highly recommend the Enfamil gift box. It had some really good stuff in there!
They’re all just gonna sell your data anyways to advertise to you. You might as well sell it yourself and get the goods!
Melee combat appeals to a broader base with fewer quality options. If you feel like playing a shooter with a decent story, there is more competition to Fallout 4. Fallout 76 comes to mind.
That sounded sassier than I meant. But that gameplay style will split users into a wider number of titles, was my point.
I updated my rig 4 years ago, and not to the top of the line. Starfield ran beautifully for me on release. I don’t really understand all the people acting like it required cutting edge builds to operate.
I felt the response was valid. How often do consoles get upgrades? PCs require them less frequently, but if you are using a 10 year old rig, it’s like trying to play PS5 games on a PS3.
Too many treated it like their statement had “get good” energy. =/
I think that them announcing mod support for next year actually caused people to abandon it quicker. I mean, they had to talk about mods because it was so expected, but I wish they had support ready to go with the October patch. Give everyone a month to play the story without the temptation to completely overhaul with silly mods, then announce support in time for holiday sales.
I really enjoyed the gamed but I am also waiting to revisit it after mod support is officially added.
Are the homeless people where the empty homes are? That’s the concern I have. There are really cheap empty houses throughout the country, but the homeless are congregate in large groups in some of the most expensive states/cities in the country. I dont think there are that many empty homes in San Francisco that are available for rent/purchase that are just being left empty for months at a time.
I also live downtown, and my primary issues are homeless stealing things off our front porch, the neighbors that think every night is a good fireworks night, and the 2 homes that previously had 6 scruffy lookin guys hanging out in front of them for months that are now in cinders.
Well, a lot of them have shitty jobs too. Like when I worked at a grocery store, evening crew would be there until 11pm. So I guess they would just get fucked then. There are a lot of working homeless.
Not at most shelters in high pop zones like mine. They fill up and won’t leave a bed vacant. There’s also no ins and outs, and there’s usually a few people moaning or screaming. Some asshole is usually wandering around looking at everyone’s stuff, and you are limited on the amount of possessions you are allowed to bring in with you (Which totally makes sense but still sucks to have to leave anything large you may have somewhere out of eyesight). It’s a hellscape. I’m honestly amazed they fill up with how shitty they are to get any sleep in.
Uh, they’re poor and probably rough hygenically, which means swing shift is their primary option. Your advice might as well be “be better!”. The point is that these aren’t all crackheads and crazy people. Also I don’t think late jobs are as uncommon as you think they are. I personally wish they had daytime shelters to better serve what I really believe to be the most rehabitable members of the homeless population.
When I worked nights, there were always multiple people who lived out of their cars working with me.
President Joe Biden announced Monday a $1.3 billion federal investment to build three new interstate power lines in an effort to upgrade the United States’ outdated electric grid and transition it to clean energy....
That’s the nature of war, yes. Of course, there’s no comparison between engaging in combat with the expectation that people on both sides will die and using a weapon that the user would be in range of the fallout from.
Yo! Wtf don’t you understand about no changes being allowed during wartime? It’s not like the president is the aggressor here, perpetually keeping his country at war to avoid elections. It can only disenfranchice people to make changes to the government via a vote at this time.
Passing a new constitution during martial law would be sketchy as hell.
Opponents will always point to it as a violation of the existing constitution and be right. Why is it so important to you that they don’t follow their laws? Are you that desperate to come up with excuses to upset the current governmental structure of nation under seige?
I’m just gonna assume that at this point, you are a Russian stooge trying to subvert their enemy’s government online.
There aren’t any religious documents here, liar. You need to stop making shit up to suit your arguments. And before you say you “don’t really care” again, you obviously do, because you won’t stop making up excuses for breaking the laws which were established by those same people you pretend to care so much about.
You are projecting if you think people consider the constitution a moral prescription. It’s literally the law laid out by the people. If you would be annoyed by people using it to defend the freedom of speech and the press, then we already kinda know where your morality lies:
I’d be just as annoyed if someone used a constitution to defend something like freedom of press or freedom of speech.

Yeah, it didn’t seem outrageous to me either, but that’s the most recent information regarding their compensation I could find, so I just assume that’s what they were referencing.
I feel like half these train guys are in it just to be “train guys” at this point. It’s a living.
If everything else that directly threatened their futures and lives didn’t get them out to vote, surely this wouldn’t. I hope they do, but if the youth only shows up to vote for non-Americans futures instead of their own, it’d be the saddest shit ever.
Lol, it’s not illegal. Words have consequences, though. If you use the stage afforded to you by your work, or your work is contingent on having a voice they want associated with them, then you may lose your job over your comments, no matter who you criticize.
Sarah Katz, 21, had a heart condition and was not aware of the drink’s caffeine content, which exceeded that of cans of Red Bull and Monster energy drinks combined, according to a legal filing
That’s how it was signed every time I’ve been into a Panera. They’ve been catering to the study crowd (and remote workers) for a while now. Before the pandemic, it was common to see the Panera bread near the college full til closing with people having coffee and using the wifi.
Saying they didn’t know it was cafinated feels like a failing on their part. The “charged” part of the name made me assume it at first sight , myself.
But it’s soda… it’s tragic they died but I just can’t fathom not assuming every soda is cafinated. There’s like a handful of lemon lime sodas that are marketed as uncafinated, and I assume everything else is by default.
I didn’t want to direct this question to Americans specifically because, at this point, other countries have shown support to Israel in one or the other way. If my country was financing this, I would be taking the streets. Shit, I’m right now in the hospital but all I can think about is protesting anyway just to feel I did...
The point is that you’ve made an insulting and reductive statement that borders on propaganda in its presentation. Obviously, no one would be pro genocide but that’s not a side that actually is available to participate actively with either.
This question accomplishes nothing but lets people virtue signal to each other. Feel better now?
What?! No one else gets unemployment checks while striking. Also, there is literally negative money. Unemployment isn’t for people turning down their paychecks anyway. Their union should be covering this with the dues they pay.
Somehow this is the only country on earth where this seems to happen. When talking about shootings involving guns, okay, fine, the US is certainly an outlier there, but every country has cars and police....
That’s not how plates are obtained. It has nothing to do with it. When buying a car from a dealership new, they submit all the paperwork, and your plates are sent to you within a month. If it’s used, it should already have a plate, but you can still get one from the DMV through online services in almost every state.
Not having a plate is usually someone avoiding tolls or red light cameras or some other petty crime thing. And to play devils advocate, I suppose it could have been stolen, too.
Also, forcing them to leave their guns* “outside”, which in this case would be in the car, wouldn’t just mean some criminal could break into the car and steal their weaponry?
They carry more weapons than the ones on their person anyway. If their vehicle isn’t secure enough for their sidearm while they are on break then they aren’t secure enough for the rest of their arsenal.
