Ungh the electricity in wires is killer.

Sometimes it oscillates with my tinnitus, which is super fun..

Then mix that with a brain that MUST process all lines of conversation and various other sensations around it, and you’ve got a recipe for quick overwhelm, and nobody has a clue why I’m suddenly edgy af.

Watch them start putting in a reserve power supply (batteries or some such) to thwart this.

I have every version of SC2. For the special characters ofc.

So fun!

The perspective is a lot better on this one, good job adapting it!

It sort of looks like his hips are facing a bit to the left and his chest is facing a bit to the right, but that could just be because of the fly on the pants, I’m not really sure.

It’s mind blowing to learn that AI/neural nets and the like have been in the works since the 80s.. it wasn’t what we know now, but like deep blue, the computer program that won at chess, started development in 1985 and won in 1997 against the world champion (Gary Kasperov). Watson, the jeopardy-playing program, was in the early 2000s.

It’s taken a long time to get from there to the mess we have now, and now it’s all super rush rush.. like chill, slow down and do it right.

Sounds about right, I think I got too bored to continue on 5. I seem to recall 4 was a bit slow too but it just dropped right off after.

Life is too short for a slog.

Wheel of time is one series I wanted to like but just couldn’t get through after a certain point.

Like the author wasn’t quite sure where he wanted to go so just didn’t go anywhere at all for a long time..

You can’t compare this sort of thing to actual farming though, because that’s not the point of it at all. The point is supplementing from other sources like farms, reducing the need for intensive agriculture, and potentially (with enough people shifting to home gardening) reduce the size of farms needed for veg growing, freeing that space for other things.

It doesn’t have to be as efficient as a big farm to be good for the people consuming it as well as the environment (grass is worthless and veg have to be shipped if not grown locally)

We can’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I get this with games too. And shows. And end up just scrolling Lemmy instead of doing anything better with my time..

I’m pretty sure that’s always what capchas were for.. training ai image recognition.

They just also use it as security theater.

NY times again telling people it’s better to own nothing.

“Save” 133k over 10 years, but throw all the rest of your housing money directly down the toilet. Can’t sell a rented apartment when you no longer need it, so even if the house doesn’t appreciate, you still come out far ahead with buying in most situations.

Plus you never stop paying for rent, but eventually you stop paying the mortgage.

Being literally dead, as in no brain or heart activity, is a pretty good place to draw a line.. totally fixes your slippery slope.
