Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.
I’m referring to the overrall trend.
That private equite has been getting into YT in recent years still seems like uncommon knowledge, and that feels more than a little intentional.
To be clear, the additional money has been doing good things so far. Here’s hoping that lasts.
Well…
One could argue, he sold out.
Veritasium is one of a growing list of YT channels that have quietly been invested in by private equity firms.
In Veritasiums case, the firm is electrify which purchased a majority stake in Veritasium in 2023, and also has stakes in Fireship, Mentour Pilot and Fern, among others.
It has resulted in the production quality of various channels skyrocketting, so far seemingly with little to no drawbacks… Whenever a channel makes a huge leap in quality, the kind that only comes with hiring a bunch of staff, I now think to myself “oh, another one”.
Now we’re just waiting for the other shoe.
I’m not saying it will drop. But free money is not a thing.
But I really don’t like the way it’s clearly being done in ways where channel viewers have no idea brand ownership has changed, and is now beholden to faceless shareholders.
Not your belly, but in your cells, yes.
The reason you need oxygen, is that your cells use it to “burn” stuff a few atoms at a time, for energy.
It’s the same reaction as fire. Oxidation. Though inside our bodies it happens in an extremely controlled manner.
Although cellular respiration is technically a combustion reaction, it is an unusual one because of the slow, controlled release of energy from the series of reactions.
Uranium has nuclear energy.
But if we are gonna count that when discussing food, then every atom has a shitton of energy.
Uranium just happens to be easy to split, hence we can actually use the nuclear energy.
But if you could split the atoms of bread, that’s gona release unimagineable amounts of energy, too.
Obviusly.
But if we’re gonna do the math that way, every atom in the universe has an insane amount of energy.
It’s just to get at it, you need to either split or fuse the atoms. Doing this just happens to be easy with uranium, it’s not that special in terms of energy density.
And a bomb calorimeter isn’t precises either, but it gets close because burning the food is what our bodies do, too.
That depends entirely on the service.
Nothing prevents the password from being hashed client-side, only ever sending the hash to the service.
I think the only passkey I have is stored in my VaultWarden. Though it only works in browsers atm.
Doesn’t a normal modern password, hashed, essentielly do the same thing?
No sane service has your actual password.
Simon and Catherine are the two sides of the debate. The emotional response, and its conclusion. And the intellectual response, and its conclusion.
The people who killed themselves, landed somewhere in-between.
Catherine had already thought about it a ton before she was copied, and came to intellectual conclusions well in advancea.
Simon is experiencing the feelings involved, after he’s been copied. Worse, he’s the kind of person who thinks people have souls, something intrinsicly unique and irreproduciple. He may never get past his emotional response.
We hear him voice his opinion several times, that to him, there is only one soul. He refers to original Simon as “real” Simon. He actively avoids thinking about it too much because the conclusion he’d come to is that his current existence is “fake”. And you can tell that Catherine picks up on it, pushing the subject only when she has to. Even when she does explain, it’s not that he can’t understand the way she thinks about it. It’s that he won’t.
They also do several things in the story that discourages Simon from thinking about the copies as “real” even as he is one himself. After getting a password from a simulated copy of a mind, Simon wonders if they just killed a person several times over just to get a password. It goes unsaid, but he undoubtedly lands on the side he is more comfortable with. That the copies aren’t “real”.
Cathrine does manipulate Simon into being copied the second time. She avoids explaining it in a way that would offend him. Only doing so when she fails to hide what happened.
And then Simon comes up with a rationalization, the coinflip. That when you’re copied, there’s a coinflip on whether “you” end up on either side of the copy. Just so he can accept his current existence as valid.
If you’re on the intellectual side, that’s BS. You end up on both sides. Both copies are real.
But if you think the soul is real, then the coinflip must be how it works. That, or only the original was “real”. But to the Simon we play as in Soma, that is not an option he is willing to even think about.
I think it’s extremely good writing. I just pitied simon, I wasn’t able to hate him for reacting the way a normal person might.
He could’ve been nicer to Catherine, tho.
True AI will happen one day
You literally can’t know that.
Science isn’t even sure that if it does, we’ll be able to tell.
Right now, to me at least, “clanker” is used to dismiss the corporate desire to hook us all on socializing with their products, instead of our fellow peoples.
And in doing that, it is, today at least, a force for good.
I mean… That can’t be news to him.
So many times he jumps someone, and the breathing sound only starts then.
He’s clearly already been turning it on and off for effect.
People with massive backlogs: aw yeah, it’s all coming together
Umm…
My score is 114.
I’m not even 30?
Helsinki?
Edit: No. At least not the bridge I was thinking of.
What… What do you even mean by that? This is a cinematic trailer.
If anything, it would’ve been done in Blender. Which absolutely could have pulled this off.
For their games, Larian has previously used fully in-house engines. We don’t know anything about what they’re using for this one.
With nextcloud in particular, nextcloud is not just nextcloud.
It’s a bunch of additional optional services that may or may not work as-is on Synology. And the Synology package won’t come with all of them.
With docker, adding (or removing) additional services, such as Nextcloud Office, is comparatively simple.
That definitely looks fat.
Normally, the middle should be the thinnest part of the body, with the soulders and hips being the widest. A healthy cat can squeeze through any gap their head can fit through, but your boy looks like that abdomen would stop him.
AFAIK, a cat should seem a little skinny by human logic. A vet can tell you more about how to tell, like how you’re supposed to be able to clearly feel the ribs.
If your boy is visibly round, that’s not muscle. A healthy cat is a straight line, or even slightly hourglass shaped.
To be sure, ask a vet. Cats are individuals, so it can vary.
I’m not sure on the answer myself, but you did get one thing wrong.
Even the oldest, sickest pet will still make an effort to keep themselves alive however they can: eating, drinking water, moving out of the way of danger, etc.
No, they won’t.
Plenty of illnesses cause apathy, dehydration, or loss of appetite.
Causes vary from pain so intense moving is unbearable, or nausea so severe food is inedible. It can be mental, physical, easily treated, or incurable and eventually lethal.
Either way, pets can and absolutely do choose inaction when miserable enough.
It’s a majority, unless I’m misreading this.
