This will definitely result in less people being on unemployment benefits.

"I'm fine."

The problem is I keep repeating the same lie.

Whenever I hear things like this, I ask 'What's the problem they are actually trying to solve?'

Most of the time there is no problem, it's a solution looking for a problem. In this case, it seems like the only problem to solve is:

Today, New Zealanders still cannot make instant payments electronically to other people, unless they are both with the same bank."

I'm pretty sure that could be solved with a middle-man app instead of a 'digital currency.' Venmo exists in the US, something like that?

I'm sure we have had similar.. TradeMe has Ping which "Make payments safely with Ping. Pay or get paid instantly – using a credit or debit card, or Ping balance." .. so, yeah problem already solved, instant payments.

The movie clearly shows that the robots acted as if they felt pain and suffering.

I thought the ending made it pretty clear that in the end, they are cold calculating and very intelligent machines with no actual feelings or compassion, and we had been deceived the whole time. My interpretation I guess, but I feel like that makes the movie better.

You're over-reacting. It's probably only death at worst. Most likely 40 years.

Lutris can be pretty handy for many things..

I don't have too much exp with these things, but I would suggest (as an IT support person) narrowing down and isolating problems into specifics, like:

  • I need dot.net for x thing and I tried y thing and it didn't work.

You'll be able to get better answers. I'm pretty interested in the suggestions, my usual solution is 'find something open source that is not as good but works.'

There should be an app or something for this..

Her maker imprisoned and tortured all of his creations.

I don't recall entirely but I'm pretty sure it didn't know that. Also, I don't think you can 'torture' or 'imprison' computers.

She couldn’t trust the kid, he lied to her about there being no other machines

So, death is justifiable then?

It's an AI, and it was pretty clearly demonstrated at the end that it felt no remorse or compassion for the dude. It was very very good at manipulating the humans and achieving it's goal at any cost, so.. I completely disagree. Evil wins because living, feeling human beings suffered due to the actions of a sexy computer.

Hard question because I watch so much horror..

I love the passion for your can opener! I'll definitely take a look at your recommendation.

In return, here's a pepper grinder my ex-chef dad raves about that seems to be pretty tough:

Right before I fall asleep, I'll remember some random details of a dream I had when I was 5-10 years old. It changes each night, but never is a newer dream.

Does that happen to anyone else?

 

But what if they hit the brown note?

 

I thought it was an access hole to get to the cables inside the seat tube, but when I unscrewed the square black plastic plate, it's just a flat bare metal surface, with a vertical slot cut in offset from the centre.

Is this for a chain guide?? Seems too high for that. I can't find anything in the user manuals on Giant Trance (this is a 2018 Trance 2).

 

Any explanation on how this happens?

Just as a matter of curiosity

 

....What the fuck?

I have a file with content like this:

item({
     ["attr"] = {
        ["size"] = "62091";
        ["filename"] = "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg";
        ["stamp"] = "2023-12-05T19:31:37Z";
        ["xmlns"] = "urn:xmpp:http:upload:0";
        ["content-type"] = "image/jpeg";
     };
     ["key"] = "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ";
     ["with"] = "email@address";
     ["when"] = 1701804697;
     ["name"] = "request";
});

I need to know what format this is, and if there exists a tool in linux already to parse this or if I need to write one myself?

Thanks!

A recent article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/301022706/prepare-to-find-another-70-a-week-to-get-by-in-2024-asb

says: ..if households decided the worst was over and started to feel more confident about spending, it could push up inflation

But I thought it was the opposite;

More spending means more demand means more supply, which means production costs go down (due to economies of scale)… so inflation goes down?

But saving means less spending, means less demand, means less income for business, means costs go up.. so inflation would rise?

 

Alright guys, here's my game plan.

Start drinking.

Really, build that daily habit until you're spending at least $70 per week on alcohol.

Then just stop drinking next year.

Problem solved!
