I really like the idea of the bot.
If the source was independent; and could be trusted. It would be a great tool; the display could be a lot better but the idea is sound.
As others have pointed out, the source is a black box that may or may not be biased itself.
How is this still relevant.
Something something rule 34
Are people actually talking about what he did?
There are active fields of study that consider the ideas of Socrates, Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, Einstein…
What a great question.
A few that come to mind. (In no particular order)
To those saying sports personalities, I doubt people will be talking about their achievements in couple of hundred years.
Edit: added Stanislav Petrov.
How did I forget about Farther Ted, that is such great show.
I haven’t seen House of Cards, but I’ll have to put it and To Play the King on my list.
Invest in yourself.
Increase your skills, weather it’s university, an apprenticeship or on the job training. Your skills compound over time.
And as another poster said, take care of your teeth.
Religion isn’t really evolving fast enough. It is being out competed at every turn, the fastest growing religious position in a lot of places is ‘no religion’.
What are we doing instead, various fandom’s…
As a life long atheist, the simple answer is no.
The longer answer is:
Humans have a brain that is effectively an extremely good pattern recognition engine, we are wired to find meaning in things, we anthropomorphize everything with no regard for logic or sanity.
Humans are hard coded to make religion or religion adjacent things.
To imagine a world without religion, would mean that we are talking entirely different brain structures, basically we wouldn’t humans anymore.
In saying the above, I think religion has had its time, it has had a good run. It now causes far more problems than it solves. Having a belief system based on an imaginary sky daddy, really doesn’t add much to the modern world.
Side note: why do people anthropomorphize their food, it is really messed up.
There is another way to think of things you create.
They show the progress of you, if you can’t look back and say I’d do that differently now then you haven’t grown as a <writer/engineer/programmer/builder/friend/father>, accept that you are a work in progress at are we all.
Agreed, but crossing over on Wed would work out for changes.
3 hours a day wouldn’t be that useful. You still have to “be” somewhere 5 days a week.
What is useful; I did this for a few years; 3 x 8hr days. Mon - Wed, normal work hours, and a 4 day weekend. No need for “public holidays” even paid time off becomes less relevant, when you can switch one week to Wed - Fri. Leaving Thur - Tue as a “normal” way to take time off, giving a 6 day weekend possible every second week.
High temperature superconductors.
Specifically anything above commercial / household freezer (-18C); but if we could get to ~105C (above water boiling) it would change literally everything.
Electric motors become more efficient over a much greater RPM range.
Superconducting magnets become much easier to construct and run, this gives us a much better chance at fusion.
Transmission lines themselves are pretty efficient as it is, but all of the associated switchgear at the conversion points all gets really warm, this could be virtually eliminated.
The conductors on circuit boards, and potentially inside microchips. This reduces heat loading and thus makes all computing devices more efficient.
The conductors in batteries; enabling these to be smaller and thus increasing battery energy density.
Finally making super-capacitors actually viable as longer term energy storage.
There are so many aspects of life that would be impacted by this one breakthrough, that it is probably the most important thing that will happen this century (scientifically speaking). It would be almost as revolutionary as when electricity itself became widespread.
Nuclear Fusion and “net zero emissions” doesn’t really make sense.
What I think you are trying to say is that fusion is nearing the point where net energy is possible (that is getting more energy out then the amount of energy put in to create the reactions in the first place). Fusion is not practically close yet, but there are tantalizing hints that we are close.
See this from 2022; the national ignition facility produced more energy that was impacted on the target (2MJ in 3MJ out), but this doesn’t take into account the huge inefficiencies in the laser generators to produce that 2MJ laser pulse.
There are a bunch of fusion experiments that are hitting massive temperatures (120 - 150MK) which is starting to get into the range where practical fusion could occur, the center of the sun is approx 15MK but also has massive gravity to encourage fusion.
So fusion is still a decade away at least, but we understand the science much more completely now. We know the problems (well a bunch of them) and it is mostly now a very difficult engineering problem rather a problem of understanding the science.
That would be nice, but I suspect it is a lot simpler. Low or no QC pushed a fuct update out.
It is not an unreasonable question, I was asked the same when I got my vasectomy. The implication was “you are young enough to have another should the worst happen”, not that kids are replaceable parts.
This is the way.
That is a movie I haven’t watched in a long time. Braindead is really good, as are Bad Taste and Meet the Feebles.
I still remember the lawn mower scene.
Went to a steak and ale bar, asked for a medium rare and my partner asked for a medium.
Mine came out blue and hers was rare…I was like wow these are undercooked, sent them back…
They literally just microwaved the plate, salad and all…
Never went back, told a bunch of people to avoid the place.
