Enough with the Chinese scaremongering. It is getting hysterical !

Humor is rather subjective, but if you feel you have THE material for "Humor bot 2000", then there are ways of fine-tuning your own model with exactly that kind of Humor.

I haven't tried them, but if they suck ass to setup, maybe your snapchat buds could help out.

These are meant to create an 'Avatar' to represent a user, but you can train them with anything. Not sure how they handle audio/pics or the important Timing parts involved in humor, but both finetune a model with your personal training set, so extract your funny shit in the right format and go for it ;-)

Interesting to see how China is taking over 'the first mover' role, and decides the future standards and ecosystem of high tech areas. So besides their enormous power and momentum, they are now also taking over the 'network effect' that US/Western Companies have been floating on for many years. (gonna be a hard fall!)

Shaping the future global low-altitude regulations is just one of many global standards to come from China.

Skimmed a little, but the conclusion sounds correct. Environmental pressures lowers our cognitive abilities, reduces our cognitive load threshold. Besides the cognitive load problem for all lower classes, people are also filled with bad information/values from their media landscape. Lastly there's "Spite".

Inability of the observer: lower stress threshold -> brain deficits. Confirmation bias, anger etc, and can counter a change. Value-disorder: Psychopathy/Spite (make others hurt more than one self), belief in ideological Dogmas that prevent a change towards better. Social/Cultural pressures: being in-group vs out-group Information: Missing or wrong information from a media landscape that doesn't make money by selling truth/accuracy.

There are other ways of ordering them, but we don't make 'free choices' as is widely believed. Even if we say that we 'control' 10% of our behavior, 90% of our choices are always context dependent, and have a cause. Most of the causes originates, or are amplified in current societies.

Our apparent stupidity all come from the environment/society we have 'chosen'. So yes, we have to change the system that generates all these activated behavioral phenomenons. We are locked in a systemic momentum. A better societal option could be a 'Resource based Economy' now guided by AI, but I'll leave that for others to discuss.

Fun experiment. Seems like a good type of question for an AI, but if we imagine that there is no turbulence (laminar flow/fall), then hair would just raise straight up with little extra resistance beyond your own air-resistance. But in normal atmosphere, the hair would start to oscillate and create eddies and stuff (like a flag/flame), which would hold you back a little. However, I think that would be like hanging from a series of torn parachutes that also went turbulent (flapping) all the way down - exciting but deadly I presume ?

Without knowing it for sure, I think the weight from the hair it self would quickly overtake the minimal drag force at the edge between hair turbulence/atmosphere. I don't think you can survive in any way, but there is likely a sweet-spot where it helps the 'most'. 25m. ?

The inspired question could perhaps be: 'How much Hair do I need to weave a Parachute ?', 'how do I grow a HUMONGOUS Afro hair ..fast ?', or 'how much Hair do I need to land on if I want to survive without a Parachute ?' ;-)

Agree. I DID think about this at some point in my youth. Never followed up, tho..

Wow, new 'China baad' propaganda from Bbc..

Capitalism <> The Blue Church <> pure Religious belief-system. same same same.

"Nerd Humor - the best kind of Humor"

Guix is a great and modern Operating system, where most things are thought through in the FLOSS (free libre open source software) spirit. but besides the installer, you will get your hands dirty in the terminal, with a little Scheme coding (configs are in Scheme (a Lisp like language (that uses an insane amount of ()'s (!!)))) - imagine that. Anyway, standard Guix doesn't come with proprietary drivers, so you'll have to add the non-guix repository (gitlab/github) for many wifi drivers. Not quite as easy as other Distros, but doable if you take small steps and copy&paste your first configurations.

I use Flatpak's to enhance the software selection, installing from git/pypi and others is also possible.

ONE anecdotal downside is that I have experienced a few machines where the installer fails, and I have to do it manually. Doable, but it does require a little nerdyness to fix.

All Guix experts have apparently mind-melded with Emacs, and are nerdy compared to normal users ! The main focus is not on UX, but its a cool environment if you become interested in the inner workings of the system, or any of the nerd tool (LaTeX is a Classic, so you are almost there ;-).

If that all gets to hairy, you could try out https://www.pantherx.org/ that are a guix based distribution. I think they have enabled non-free firmware by default, and you get a nice(r) desktop experience out of the box, so there's that. I haven't tried it yet, tho.

Guix is both very advanced under the hood (where all the lovelyness happens), very stable, and very FLOSS, but for doing light work only, you might overshoot on raw Guix. PantherX is likely easier, but you'll perhaps have to live with a few proprietary blobs (closed source drivers) in the kernel.

I'm tired, sorry for errors..
