The reload time is zero, but teleporting N meters away takes N seconds. Oh, and it looks like the transporter effect from Star Trek where you fade out and get all sparkly.

Personally, I prefer the ziggurat cheese technique compared to the concentric cheese rectangles

You don’t boil salad in water.

There’s even a haunting song to remind us

I think “break fast” is one of those things you don’t know until you do. You can know what a word means without guessing its etymology.

Unlike Elon, I feel like Steve Jobs legitimately had skills. Of course, it’s completely despicable of him to scoop more than 10x the profit compared to Woz in that example. I guess what I’m trying to say is that Jobs was a talented asshole, but Elon is just a no-talent asshole.

Have fun compiling the kernel, Linus 😂

Like she could have you bend over and she’d put a paper on your back and write on it?

The core of Christianity is internalizing the contradiction of three gods that are actually one. With the axiom that 3 = 1, you can prove anything. This is how you can believe that Jesus taught radical acceptance, but it’s okay to hate anyone who’s different than you.

There’s a lot going on here, so I won’t try to respond to all of it.

My point is merely that there are population clusters with genetic differences. It’s incorrect to say that we are all human, therefore scientifically we are all the same. In aggregate, the people of Japan are not the same as the people of Ireland. (This paragraph makes zero claims about individuals; it is scoped to large groups of people.)

I just want to clarify that I’m not claiming that “race” per se is a thing, nor am I claiming that there are any mutually-incompatible human species. I’m not attempting to say anything about nationality, country borders, or deportations. The political madness happening in the USA is truly disgusting. I am deeply saddened by the cruelty and hatred that’s on display.

Dutch, Japanese, Mexican etc, those are nationalities and are all meaningless scientifically and biologically.

I hear this point raised somewhat frequently, and I understand the sentiment, but it’s just incorrect. There are physical and genetic differences between different groups of people from different parts of the world. We are all human and all deserve respect, but I think papering over our differences and declaring we’re all the same introduces an unnecessary level of doublethink to the discussion.

Chart showing average height, but incorrectly scales the entire person instead of just the height, …

The sin committed here was that the y axis began at something other than zero. If you scaled just their height without fixing the y axis, everyone except the Dutch would look like little clay men getting squished by a hydraulic press.

Because that’s how typography works? Why do you capitalize the first letter in each of your sentences?

A moist towelette, that’s all you’ll get

Because it’s not illegal?

Err, future knowledge might count as material non-public information.

How would this be any different from more people existing in the world? These AGIs still need to eat (err, consume electricity). Or are you assuming they’ll be superior intelligences and thus disruptive?

I know that free will doesn’t exist and I wouldn’t choose to have it any other way

I’m not an engineer, I don’t know how it works. I can touch the transparent window without getting burned, so it appears the window is insulated.

Maybe it works like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing

I hate when the dishwasher says it’s low on cyan gnomes, but I can see them right there
