  • The light is beamed from the human head in 360 degrees when ever they communicate, visible for up to 1KM

This sounds extremely impractical. It's like everyone can only yell at the top of their lungs. At least we can choose to focus on the person we're interested in and ignore background "noise". But someone trying to get our attention would be difficult. Now we can just call someone's name from behind them. Something equivalent would be impossible.

Isn't that one called Cybertruck?

They don't care. Obama deported more people than Trump. Trump cannot have that. At this point it's just a matter of beating that number for him. If people intentionally come to the country just to pad that number for him, it's a win in his book.

I heard good things about healthcare in Canada. I come from a country that also has universal healthcare, but doctors are paid measly wages and results are what you pay for. 4-5 hours waits at emergency rooms, doctors and nurses refusing to do more than the bare minimum, or not event that, unless you give them a little "incentive", etc, etc. So actually good doctors go to practice in private clinics or other countries, where they're paid properly. I have lots of horror stories from the healthcare system in my native country.

But I thoght that Canada properly funds their healthcare system and this stuff wouldn't happen.

I personally find the effects from the original trilogy easier to still watch today than the effects in the prequels.

Machine learning, renamed "AI" with the LLM boom, does not simulate intelligence. It integrates feedback loops, which is kind of like learning and it uses a network of nodes which kind of look like neurons if you squint from a distance. These networks have been around for many decades, I've built a bunch myself in college, and they're at their core just polynomial functions with a lot of parameters. Current technology allows very large networks and networks of networks, but it's still not in any way similar to brains.

There is separate research into simulating neurons and brains, but that is separate from machine learning.

Also we don't actually understand how our brains work at the level where we could copy them. We understand some things and have some educated guesses on others, but overall it's pretty much a mistery still.

I do all my browsing in private mode, so I have no open tabs other than this one.

There's no technical reason to think we won't in the next ~20-50 years

Other than that nobody has any idea how to go about it? The things called "AI" today are not precursors to AGI. The search for strong AI is still nowhere close to any breakthroughs.

We've been engaged for a while

Doesn't engaged mean that you proposed and she said yes? Isn't that when you give the ring? (I don't really know, engagement rings are not a thing in my culture, but that's what I saw in American movies)

How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?

I don't know much about Pokémon cards, but I know this is a rare holo. Is it worth much?

Backstory: my son (6yo) kept talking lately about a Mewtwo he got at a birthday party and how he's going to trade it with his classmate for a Darkrai, but he lost his Mewtwo somewhere in the car. So yesterday I finally get around to searching below the car seat to find this. A holo Mewtwo Vstar, in a protective sleeve too. I asked him repeatedly if it was really in the goodie bag (making sure the b-day kid didn't just give it away on their own without parents knowing), but yeah, everyone got cards in their bags (but doesn't sound like anyone got something like this one). For now I told him to just keep it safe and not use it to play with and definitely don't trade it away.
