  • Fair point. But still pretty bad. Literally two days after the warranty expired my Seagate drive was broken. This was my first and only Seagate drive. Never again.

    Meanwhile my old Western Digital drive is still kicking way beyond it's warranty. Almost 10 years now.

  • Life has no inherent meaning. It doesn’t need one. That doesn’t make it pointless either. These judgments are human constructs, not qualities of life itself.

    But if someone needs a meaning in life:
    The meaning of life is to give your life meaning.

    Find it yourself. What feels important to you? What makes you unhappy? What makes you happy?

    I tend to be on the empathetic side. I feel a lot of pain and desperation about the state of the world, and the way we humans treat one another so cruelly. That's why I am trying to find my own way to contribute, so that life, for us and those who follow, becomes permanently better.

  • This is basic interference physics.

  • How to make people on the internet staring on their phones like this:

    Worked well for me. Cool stuff!

  • Is Seagate still producing shitty drives that fail a few days after the warranty expired?

  • When I first looked at this, I saw it as a broken-up kitchen floating through space.

  • "NASA is lying about how space looks like and fabricates photographies instead. In this example, by just taking pictures of such shiny counters to fake how space with stars looks like". - Conspiracy™

  • "There is no evidence that this didn't happen."

    This line of reasoning is the same way religions "argue".

    There is also no evidence that this did happen.

    So I assume that it's wrong until undeniably proven otherwise by the scientific method.

  • For dipping your toes into a new topic I think it's perfectly fine. It helps to provide useful pointers for further "research" (in a sense that would meet your requirement) and also manages to provide mostly accurate overviews. But sure, to really dive into this, LLMs like ChatGPT and co. are just some low-level assistants at best and one should go through the material themselves.

  • Perplexity does a good job as LLM-search-engine-combo.

  • Yes. But if the machine has proven to work reliably it will usually do so for its lifetime, while humans are prone to e multitude of errors. Especially in the medical field.

  • That's such a fucking stupid idea.

    Care to elaborate why?

    From my point of view I don't see a problem with that. Or let's say: the potential risks highly depend on the specific setup.

  • though the biggest factor is that the Moon is moving away from the Earth (who can blame it)

  • Lemonade stand. Spiced up with some crystal meth.

  • What decisions for example?
