…no, they won’t know for a few hundred years due to the actual speed of light and vast distances of space.

Eh, even in “the real world” we still encounter blue wave lengths in the evening. I think it is a matter or reduction (aka not shoving a largely blue light source in your face) than elimination.

I’d also say, the fundamental point of it (that finite cost in life is worth the chance at infinite reward or avoiding infinite punishment) is pretty abysmal morally. Pretty easy to justify atrocities for any concept of God that way as a rational approach to life.

This is really the primary death knell for the argument. Yes, there billions and billions of “god” variations - but at least believing in one might get you a (near-zero) better chance at a decent afterlife.

…until you realize the category of “Gods who dont want your worship”.

Russia criticizing the US nuclear arms policy is rich, given how they have both loosened their requirements on when they would use nuclear weapons, and have repeatedly and consistently have used nuclear threats as a military strategy since their invasion of Ukraine.

I guess they have to take this position as the US at least has working armaments and not just rusted, unmaintained, weapons.

This is part of what has made Trump so successful:

He has convinced his base (and a lot of the media) that what he says doesnt matter - lying, outrageous claims, incendiary remarks. He is schrodingers politician and his positions generally are “Whatever person X wants him to be”. There is also massive dissonance on Trump “telling it like it is” - despite that NOBODY holds him to his word.

Im not so sure. I think this is more of a question about taking arbitrary, undefined, or highly variable unstructured data and transforming it into a close approximation for structured data.

Yes, the pipeline will include additional steps beyond “LLM do the thing”, but there are plenty of tools that seek to do this with LLM assistance.

This is a quite a bit of handwringing over what is probably nothing:

• Kids have been playing war, battle, or fighting games during recess since recess started. I guarantee you can spend 1 recess at any school and see at least one set of kids playing some game which is fundamentally violent fantasy.
• As far as exposure - no offense but we are so far off kids never seeing violent imagery.
• But, most importantly, these are also likely a sourced by handful of kids who are teaching other kids to play it that way. That’s what kids do. I can think of several personal memories of my experience in elementary school where “Kid X” taught me something that, in retrospect, that kid probably shouldn’t know yet. The spread of knowledge in children is immensely effective.

Sometimes self centered dipshits need to be called out. Your actions, and the actions of people reading this, matter.

You do realize “ban TikTok” was originally a Trump initiative right?

This is a lot of words for “I don’t have any spine and won’t change my behavior if it is mildly inconvenient”

He, Andrew Ferguson

He has stated intentions to ease his predecessor’s scrutiny of business mergers and acquisitions, while continuing critical oversight of big tech platforms.

Expect continued increased in costs if goods.

Yup, that he is anything but a downgrade from Lina khan for consumer protection in the FTC is super wrong.

“similar technological and production capabilities”

Okay bud. Russia has pretty effectively burned through their best equipment and skilled fighters and is basically running on pure authoritarian insistence right now.

They need to come down certainly. It shouldn’t cost more than a high end smart phone and a decent tablet.

Would be willing to be something of a premium, but until it is in the range of a standard high end smart phone, it won’t be compelling.

It does take a bit of preparation for the lifestyle that we are not ready for. Ways to store and prepare food, maintain temperatures, get information, illuminate spaces.

Yes, quantum entanglement occurs without the speed of light, but we famously cannot interpret information from it faster than the speed of light - it isn’t FTL communication.

Andre the grande

Was learning about the requirements it be a baker in Germany - something like 3 years of school to work at a bakery, 6 years to own one. Crazy.

Sounds like an easy bread pudding :)
