No. Archival means copying, destructive archival means copying and destroying the original. If the copy was as smart as you, it would know the original you was left in meatspace. It would be stupid to claim the copy is you but in a different individual, not different than wishful thinking.

The copy would be based on you, but from its startup it would become a different individual, as your experiences diverge.

If the upload was me, it would know it’s a clone, not me, but he’d also know he’s his own person from now own.

Perfect opportunity to change name, or adopt a suffix in case more copies are made.

What I loved is that both knew what needed to be done next because he planned it before being copied.

Spoiler: if you have thought your share about mind digitalization, SOMA has a very predictable game plot. It’s a good game, but not as intriguing as, say, the Talos principle.

Your work supervisor has shed a single tear of joy.

One significant red flag is that GPUs that were selling like hot cakes because crypto are now selling like hot cakes because AI. It leads to a proliferation of gold diggers buying pickaxes instead of a refinement and optimization of the underlying technology.

Paraphrasing Aldous Huxley, “the next tech bubble must need at least as much GPUs as the last”.

It’s fine, it’s a really long test.

The meme is about the journey to acquire wisdom, not intelligence. It fits IMO, despite representing the lack of wisdom as low intelligence.

Just use Joplin. It checks all those boxes, it’s only flaw is being an electron application.

I use it too, but it doesn’t have something like canvas. You have to write them in Mermaid markdown like a caveman.

Might as well go all in and call the Gulf of California “Armpit of Canada”.

The problem is, most people in the world are used to politicians lying to get elected, or not able to follow through even if they want to.

We are used to broken campaign promises, so it’s a shock when a politician who was elected because he promised nasty things actually follows through. If at least he had promised beneficial things and followed through, that would be nice, but he didn’t. You’re getting the worst scenario of campaign promise fulfillment.

Why would we? Even Reddit had a secret salute when it was starting, because it was growing slowly. Something social exploding is not the norm, but the result of aggressive marketing, which Lemmy instances can’t afford, and have no need to pay for.

You should get that checked

When you’re past a certain age, having an unexpected, rebellious boner that refuses to calm down is an achievement. I remember when they were a constant nuisance, so I can relate to the young and dumb guys.

Worst answer to “Is that a roll of coins in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?”

Thank you too, Docker pants.

That sound was the best part of connecting to the internet, like a liminal space

I swear the faster modems also made a bell-like “clong” sound

The canvas built in is the easiest UI I’ve used to make mind maps, I’d surely miss it if I had to migrate.

The community plugin “Google Drive Sync” is free, open source, and lets you (clunkily but effectively) bypass Obsydian Sync. One less server to manage.
