It is probably just a video he's making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.

As of now, I find very few apps beneficial, convenient or time savers - maybe I'm a weirdo luddite. Most apps seem to be for pastimes anyway so saving time seems odd - I prefer to take time to savour my pastimes. I think mp3 player app, and organic maps are the real ones that I actually find useful.

But refusing GPS/microG and therefore Microsoft Authenticate will become a problem for me quite soon I think. For now a phonecall still works, but I think it's only a matter of time. Once that goes I might have to quit my job, and will struggle to find one in my field that doesn't require it, so I guess I'll have to look for less skilled work or retrain, and I'm far too old for that shit. That's where it'll get constraining, when the tentacles of bundling enwrap and bind many other aspects of real society.

I really hope the EU keeps on at MS for bundling and other market power abuse, it seems so obvious that they've effectively ignored the fines from the old Internet Exploder case, and ramped up their misbehaviour regardless.

Of course the twats where I live are easily radicalised against EU regulations (or any regulations really) , so I'm probably still fucked. But at least someone needs to stand up for consumer rights and competition and keep kicking MS in the balls every time they pull their dick out to fuck consumers. Ideally kick them harder and harder too, 'punitive damages' are more than justified due to them being a repeat offender.

Are there any flies buzzing around?

When something like python tries to force readability into your code without your consent?

That's why I always use a nonsensical class structure with stupid names; it's my chastity belt.

I think there should be a "equivocal" vote.

I think that's what boost was supposed to be for, or was that just on kbin.

Down votes are useful for estimating the exactly how badly damaged the sense of humour in the community is.

Down votes are troll treasure.

Here, have a downvote for your collection.

There are other better answers here already.

But you got me wondering, how red are red dwarfs really? Maybe they're just like a few % more red than our sun, but I bet they're still quite broad band.

So you maybe could have a similar range of colour reflection and absorption. And maybe there's enough R,G,B to saturate the receptors. I assume white is just that, when all color receptors are near saturated.

The eyes might not need to differ much, the brain can probably do everything in post processing anyway. All evolution needs to do to your eyes is to gather enough raw data that your brain can learn to differentiate, food, water, danger, things to breed with, and so on.

Maybe reduce the sensitivity of red receptor a wee bit, or maybe not, if plants are still absorbing lots of red, and we live amongst plants . . .

All of the sweet, sweet gross domestic product statistics. Mmm I love GDPness.

Hey it's just south of Orkney. Small world.

I was thinking about blendOS at some point - it seemed like a decent proposition the best way to stick with arch, but have the declarative and atomic bits, without going to a new nix thing that sound like a more extreme nerd cult.

But I never did, I'm still mainly on Arch+XFCE or arch+kde, or debian+kde, or debian+xfce in my house.

I think I didn't do it because I've never really heard of BlendOS , no established track record. No one ever recommends it. So it might not still be there in 5 years, so I'd have to be sure it'd all still work if the project ended. Meh, too much bother to figure that out.

If this promised deluge of PCs comes along soon i'll maybe try it on a spare machine.

I think most people will say go fedora due to track record - but i never liked it when i last used it - a long time ago.

Kids these days think they're going to get a date without building a medieval hampster wheel powered trebuchet first, our education system has failed.

That's alright, when the 100% chalk contraceptive pill and the polyethylene 'super sensitive' condom hit the market I think they'll do ok.

They turn into spaghetti at speed. Watch them on video to see the TRUTH!

Unreliable!

Not the one you asked but - I thought it read more like an exam question than a crapgpt question.

It is this part that rubbed me the wrong way: "Please provide formulas and an example."

That's like the part where the examiner is giving a hints about how the marks will be awarded.

Either way here's my equation: P(Answer | Question and constraint on answer ) < P(Answer | Question)

I assume that's the OOPs intention though; to block out some of the noise from the responses. I only see one formula so far (excluding my stupid one) so I'm not sure if it worked strictly, but I'd be surprised it it hasn't filtered out some answers.

It was a typo, he actually cursed gifs because he was sick of all the memes.

Meh, bike came first, as far as I'm concerned. It's up to noobs like motorbike , moped, e-bike, light-cycle to differentiate themselves.

Unless it's in a context - like said by an obnoxiously loud bloke in a leather jacket and moustache - bike means bike to me, no disambiguation required. In fact those people should be legally required to use the word "hawg".

Muscle is just an ugly word, when people say 'muscle car', I don't think of Fred Flintstone, I think of something pointlessly loud, fat , ugly, and annoying. In this case i assumed it was some overpowered e-bike with super fat tyres that does like 50mph or something - then I saw it was cheaper and was able to figure out that it just meant 'bike'.

My bike might well be ugly and annoying but, at the very least, it isn't pointlessly loud.

I think the point is that the tech doesn't materially change most starwars characters interactions from present day. It's not really scifi because the science / tech doesn't shape how the characters interact dramatically.

If you give the characters some real scifi-tech like put them inside computers, or have backup throwaway clone bodies, or jack them in to a hive mind, or give them time travel or alternate universes then the whole dramatic context of the character interactions has to change and the story has to be shaped by the technology to some degree. It'd likely be a bit more alien as our innate sense of constraints and jeopardy doesn't apply.

Only really the deathstar is anything different tech wise - it is only used once, and becomes more like a part of the maguffin.

The other fantastic dramatic features that starwars does use that are alien to us - precognition, mind control, reincarnation(sortof) - are magic rather than tech.
