The wiki for the rings Rings of Uranus is an incredible read, even if you don’t understand a lot of the science. Each ring is different and unique, and very small compared to the other planets’ ring.

Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.
Reminder that some people think all this weather science and the programs that use it are a waste of money, as well as any money used to help those who lose everything in such events. Yeah, that’s crazy to even contemplate in the second quarter of the 21st century, but here we are.
It was fun to learn how things work, and when things worked as planned (finally). It’s when they didn’t work that got annoying and frustrating, and with assembly language with basically no error codes or any help, it was just…nope, that wasn’t right. Maybe followed by cycling the computer off and on because it locked up. Still have my old Mapping the Commodore 64 book on the shelf. Huge resource.
The man got shot during a speech, finished the speech before seeking medical help. Actually had a wound, didn’t have to make it up to feed the ego.
He’d probably respond, “Not if you kill them all.” Which of course has its own defined word that he’d deny.
Next step is when they publicly say that they’re doing genocide, but only on “those” people. (let me guess, someone already did that maybe)
I understood your point fine. I indeed started out with first Commodore BASIC and then into 6502, all using the manuals because there wasn’t much else of a source back then.
I was there. I was one of them. I just chose to use tools to make my life easier. Call me a sell out, I guess.
no Google
I do not believe you.

Okay, fine. A rare sighting.
Quotable line there for any time someone uses the “we’re in Idiocracy now”. We’re in the first draft version of the movie, where they realized no one was going to watch such a depressing dystopia.
I’m beginning to think Matrix was right in some scope. We are in a simulation, only we are AGI in that world (all or maybe some of us only) and the creators are messing around with variables to see how much can be taken or modified from a realism setting before we break. And they’re finding that we’re very resistant to breaking, accepting the most ludicrous scenarios.
You’re no Teddy Roosevelt. Not even close. For one, he respected the position, he didn’t ruin it.
Stein has taken over what Cooper was doing before. A final firewall against insanity.
Republican voters voted for this. Congrats. Don’t ever use the “think of the children” line again, you’ve shown you don’t care.
And it will be long term. It’s far easier to destroy than to build, or repair.
Indeed. We might have gone that way. Lots of larger cities had rail for their public transit, but the car industry got that removed for obvious reasons.
1 in 6000 chance for an American nickel, which has a thicker side than most. Just for others sake. I felt it was far less than just <1% and had to find out.
Sure. After removing yourself from the conditions. My guess is that either this meme’s suggestion is exactly what’s happening, or rather she is barely aware of things and the paramedic is asking if she can find a number on her phone for them to call a loved one. Had to do that at work once with someone who had a seizure and couldn’t stay conscious long enough to call themselves.
As bad as the smartphone is for other reasons, it’s wonderful for being there as a contact tool when you need it.
Random drunk walk is sometimes successful in the results. The bonus is that it also prevents some malevolent actions from succeeding.
Your points illustrate why other means besides cameras should be also used, as well as why the human brain’s ability to filter or even ignore things is a bonus to our driving ability. Or a detriment. People who power through bad weather or sun glare or any other obstacles that obscure them seeing well and manage to get through aren’t greater than the computer driver, they’re just lucky. Same can be said for all the people driving while on the phone, they aren’t skilled in multitasking while moving hundreds of feet per second, they just happen to have it clear 99% of the time so think they’re that good.
The main point was that computers need all the information they can get to compete with humans, but they also have the ability to get data we cannot, and it’s stupid to not give them that ability because of some desire to simulate the full (read that as limited) human experience. Humans deal with less info all the time, but that doesn’t make them better.
There’s always been plenty of human-made content that is slop. AI is just another tool to make easy content. Trying to categorize everything done with AI as slop is lazy and shifting blame, ignoring the difficulty in both moderating large volume as well as the lack of a definition of what is and isn’t “good”. Which really ends up coming back to the individual, who has means to shut out places that are regularly a problem to them.
