Fully agree. I would add that a child should be able to opt out in case their 'other country' does not allow multiple citizenships.

We would have to go a long way back, before religions became the first worldwide media outlets. Hard to imagine how we would do in a Neanderthal world. Must have been rad.

So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless.

Why would anything need a body to be intelligent? Just because we have bodies and whoever said that cannot imagine different forms of life/intelligence? Not that i think, current LLMs have the experience and creativity to be called intelligent. i just don't think that everything that's intelligent needs an arse :)

Depends on your definition of a "computer". A shitty laptop surely doesn't count, even less so if it runs Windows.

With that lack of sleep over such a long time, you won't succeed. You'll ruin your mind and body. You won't make your mother proud if you break down. Please look for a plan B.

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock in the early Startrek films and series.

Same here. I am not interested in religion (so not even really atheist), wife is Buddhist doing Buddhist things. Married for 40 years this year, and it's not an issue.

The smell of wood!

My workshop, where I can be creative or destructive or just tinkering about or hang out with my dog, enjoying my time. Unfortunately, I was just evicted, as the little building will be demolished and replaced by "gentrification"...

That's what I do, too. However, I did block some communities, mostly meme- or politics related, so I can briefly browse the "all" category once in a while.

 

These old radios are just wonderful. But with am/fm turned off in many parts of the world, they will probably go quiet forever soon.

Sometime in the 90ies, when i upgraded my modem to 33600 baud and everything started to go lightning fast. You could download a whole megabyte in less than five minutes, on a good day. Mind-blowing!

 

He does have a way with that chain saw...

I can feel you. YouTube is my "tv" and I've been watching it for years. But lately the quality of the suggestions has gone completely out of whack, imo. I scroll through the suggestions and find nothing worth watching. Sometimes i try to improve it by hitting 'not interested' or 'don't suggest this channel', but it's not helping.

Maybe Spez has bribed Google to show us rubbish, so we'd return to Reddit?

 

I think, I want to try this out. If this "Thingino" can do an SMB or FTP server, I could replace my "security cameras" made from old cell phones with it.

 

I never thought of the bit with the sand paper on the blade. I wonder whether this really works as well.

 

Somehow, I have a heart for steampunk! It would be great if the taps had an actual function, like on/off and dimmer, but I guess that would add a whole n'other level of complexity to the project.

 

Ever since I've seen this video, when it came out "fresh of the press", I wanted to make one of these. However, somehow I never got round to it. But mayyyybeee one of theeeese dayyyys?

 

Wow, that's a whole n'other dimension of DIY. It all looks scarey, but I like it.

 

Nice joint!
