Personally I get immense enjoyment out of not doing anything useful, especially not on a big scale. So if I were to accidentally "make it big", I'd most likely not do it again and keep enjoying the small inconsequential things.

But it obviously is not?

> So, the real question is, if a really cute girl that you like smiling in front of you, and she asks your "star type" (or "constellation"), what would you really do at that spot?

That's an oxymoron because stupidity is never cute. If she appeared cute before saying that, she certainly wouldn't after.

Clearly the ecosystem is far from collapse while we're in the middle of a rapid human-caused mass-extinction. What kind of propaganda are you smoking, bro.

Corporations can be regarded as AI agents with misaligned goals. In a bit over a century this has resulted in damage to the climate and Earth's ecosystem that is threatening the survival of our civilization. And that's just slow, badly optimized paperclippers so far.

You might be right and my 95% was a bit off. But the main point is that 80-85% being sustainable for only 30s might only be the case for someone who is in absolutely terrible shape.

That doesn't sound right. Even 95% of max heart rate is sustainable for a long, long time. Intervals one can only sustain for 30s are way above VO2max intensity deep in the anaerobic zone. Heart rate pretty much maxes out on those.

No, that's not about sugar. The body needs glucose to function. It is produced from carbs (and other sources) in your food.

Just get used to being hungry and your stomach being empty. You don't need to do anything when you're hungry, you won't starve.

Just step out of the city, and boom no mobile connection with O2.

Roads don't belong to cars lol.

Most networks support leaving memos to registered users when they're offline. So IRC does have that functionality.

Since it's everything but random, given the strong, strong selection pressure, what you wrote misses the point completely. And the argument based on that is completely meaningless as well.

Sounds accurate.

Poisson clumping.

This article is about psilocybin mushrooms though, not whatever abusable substances you're talking about.

That's the problem we're talking about. It is very feasible but only if performance and energy use is something you want to focus on, while accepting the economic penalty of not prioritizing time-to-market. This is just yet another case of unchecked capitalism and free market destroying the planet. Focusing on energy and resource conservation may be more important as well as feasible, but it's not quite as economically competitive. Unless the industry as a whole decide to do what's morally right, or it is regulated and mandated by the government.

In a modern compiled language and without using ten layers of abstraction. It is very feasible and does not require significantly more development effort, at least not compared to the energy and material savings.

JS is the most popular language. Thus most software is wasting orders of magnitude more energy than it should. The same functionality would require less than a tenth of processing power (and thus energy and physical hardware) if it were implemented properly.

Because that is indeed a very effective approach. In a game where rules can be broken or warped to suit your goals, doing so is a smart move. Just like in life, where rules don't actually exist.

In addition to what others have said in response and further picking apart this silliness: Your comment also appears to suggest that a life of depression and potential suicide is preferable to the medically accepted palliative treatment that has shown itself to be quite life-altering indeed, at least enough to prevent this outcome.

I'm really liking it so far. I was able to find some obscure stuff that google failed me on with image search, using rather ridiculous queries. A few random searches also returned more relevant results on the first page. Will definitely keep using it for a while to see if this keeps up.

And that's why tech people don't really care about Apple. No wonder Apple devices are so unpopular in these circles here.

The way the C++ code looks makes me think that the language wasn't designed with this in mind. Modern programming concepts are really stretching the syntax of older languages to the point that there is just too much noise that is distracting from what is actually being done which makes simple things look confusing and complicated. I guess there is a reason Haskell code was used to demonstrate the concept.

They already happened.

This graphic helps with understanding the metric expansion of space: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/Expansio...

The Big Bang is better understood as a Big Stretch, which is still ongoing. As time progresses there just happens to be more space added between things. The balloon analogy breaks down because the galaxies themselves, or the dots on the balloon don't get bigger due to gravity. The expansion of space is only relevant on huuuge distances, not interstellar or even intergalactic, only when one gets to galaxy clusters and superclusters.

There is no such thing as a center.

What I took from this post, is that we should keep working on compilers. They could provably optimize away most of the performance issues and move us closer to doing category theory instead of dealing with the metal.

Incorrect. Thanks to the ability of the US to project conventional force, they have deployed troops in Eastern Europe, the Baltic and the Black seas, thus stopping any further Russian aggression. This could only be done through a show of force that displays the ability and willingness to engage Russian forces should they try their tactics on a NATO state.

Furthemore, the US are keeping their side of the agreement. They are providing Ukraine with military equipment and intelligence and leading the way in destabilizing Putin's regime through sanctions. Thanks to that multi-levelled support and offensive Russia is right now losing the war in Ukraine and is on the brink of a Revolution itself.

All of this with barely any help from central Europe, which has its head up its ass and has succumbed to Russian influence and propaganda.

As a German I'm really glad about that. Germany is still not capable to act on its own. We're lucky the US are willing to hold us up while taking all the PR flak.
