For sure, I'm not saying this based on my own privileged experience, I'm saying this based on the data. 200 years ago even the richest countries had around 50% child and infant mortality. Now the global average is 4.3%. We can acknowledge the tragedies of today while also celebrating the immense progress we've made at a global level.

Life is a lot less brutal today than it was 200 years ago, though.

Beating classical computers is easy. These machines can give a random result much faster than a computer can simulate the quantum mechanics that give rise to that random result.

Beating classical computers at a task with some kind of practical application is hard though.

They're also very popular in Denmark.

Realistically it's not feasible to set up separate systems for separate levels of tech knowledge and expect it to not be abused.

Yes, it's more of a hassle to do proper 2FA, but it helps the grannies of the world not be scammed out of their life savings, ultimately enabling greater digitalisation, which I find extremely helpful.

Isn't the point to get bacteria off your hands? Isn't it better to have them in the air than on your hands?

It's a lot more likely I'll eat something I touched than something that's been sitting in bathroom air.

Pretty common in bars in Denmark at least.

Dead grunts tell no tales

One of the finest games of the genre. Enjoy!

It's for sure a product of its time, but it really doesn't feel like a 1999 movie. Around that time we had

• Sixth sense
• American beauty
• Eyes wide shut
• Being John Malkovich
• Fight Club

Matrix has such a stark level of visual and thematic modernity compared to those. Maybe Fight Club comes near, but the other movies look like they're from a different decade.

Surely not?

I still can't believe The Matrix is from '99. The themes and the effects hold up incredibly well, it feels far more modern.

Wasn't he more criticizing the scale? Like, a sith warrior is great, but he can't really compete with the power of the Death Star when it comes to sheer scale. Just ask Alderaan.

Those are some sweet stories :)

Arguably it is better than mining for coal, lithium, etc. since those have similar issues, but one gram of uranium contains energy similar to 3 tons of coal.

Fairly so - it isn't emissions, and does not contribute to the problem in a meaningful way.

The reason why emissions are dangerous is because they trap solar heat at large enough scales to change the global climate. Server farm heating isn't really anywhere near contributing at that scale.

Something like this, perhaps: https://youtu.be/HNMq8XS4LhE?si=XqWX5uZFBWKNbJAb

I found the lines poorly written, the narrators not very convincing, and the whole concept limited and simple. It's likely that something better comes along further into the game, but it really didn't pull me in.

It always fascinates me that people can have such different experiences. I'm really happy you found your perfect game, wish I could see it like you see it!

Ah yes, sorry, I've corrected my comment to micrograms.

You can eat it just fine, just don't eat it regularly for a long time.
