There are always things people have in common. More-so today with the accessibility to media provided by the internet. That said being a friend to someone isn’t about checking a bingo card of similar interests. It’s about listening to their experiences and being interested.

What do people watch on tv, what are they listening to, where have they vacationed recently, did you hear about xyz happening in the news.
Kids. People with kids talk about their kids.

Some of that might overlap with your experiences, some of it won’t, it doesn’t need to. You just need to shoot the shit, hear what they’ve been up to, say what you’ve been up to, and enjoy doing it. Maybe do an activity of somekind while your at it, maybe just eat dinner.

The age range is just when people get busy with life and have less free time to actually do things. So they have less to talk about. Work becomes their lives. That changes eventually, wait another five year period. You get settled in your career and your focus shifts more towards what’s going on in your actual life.

You should look up ‘speech communities’. It’s a linguistic anthropology thing. Essentially boils down to ‘people talk differently and about different things depending who they’re talking to and where’. In your case you want a group of work friends to talk about work topics with, separate from your group of childhood friends, who you can talk about non-work topics with.

Cest une pomme!

I vaguely remember something about them trying to revoke some kind of licensing that let people use their intellectual property, but they ended up settling for rewording the licensing because the backlash from the customers was significant. Ie. Boycotting.

Or something along those lines. Business fucks around, business finds out. They’ll try again in the future, but there are plenty of other table top games people can roll dice to now.

NCBI’s GenBank has some and they’re trying to get more.

Here’s an article about why it’s hard. Spoiler alert, it’s poverty.

Also I suggest checking out GenBank and BLAST, whether you’re working in biology or not they’re fun to play around with.

Maybe make the eyes the world instead.
Also the colored whiskers are strange, maybe keep them black.

Mega-Lot 1, a 100 story hellscape of crumbling concrete and rebar. Each level is ruled by a different gang and they are constantly at war. Child soldiers and suicide bombs are a norm. The basement is a tent city full of addicts and those that prey on them. The parking attendants are somehow more corrupt and dangerous than the gangs. Your parking pass costs you $2000 a month, it doesn’t guarantee you spot, and owning a parking pass is a stiffly enforced requirement of vehicle registration. Escaping the parking lot each day is a mix of luck and bribes. It saves you 5 minutes off your two hour commute. Being late for work is an indictable offence with a minimum sentence of 15 years manual labor, performing maintenance on Mega-Lot 1.

Edit: spelling

But is he… earnestly working on it?

Didn’t they try that already and they ended up pulling the plug because the AI became a nazi?

Please dont give them a logical reason to be shittier than they already are

Given the results in the comments, one might suspect the headline here is the real fake news

Canada is a very progressive place it seems

Ok, so is RIF going to make an app for the fediverse so I can keep using it?

People finding out the internet never forgets, and never forgives.

I think there’s a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn’t happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.

AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.

I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don’t make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.

Of course there’s going to be problems that come up. Change isn’t good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I’m sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.

Firby I’m sad, play despacito

Ibuprofen + acetaminophen at the same time.

Alternate ice and heat in 15 min intervals. You can get an electric heating pad they work well. Lay on the floor to do it.

Get a firm mattress. If that’s out of your immediate price range, sleep on a folded blanket or a mat on the floor. Your shoulders might get cranky, but it will be relief on your back.

Walk.

Bend at the knees for everything.

Light stretching, nothing that puts an unsupported load on your lower back.

Ab exercises. Planking is your friend.

I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn’t like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.

Linux has ‘swap’. Pretty much it’s a back up to prevent your computer from crashing if it tries to use more ram than it has, so it allocates hard drive space to be used as ram.

Different distributions have different suggestions on how much space to allocate for swap. Depending on how much ram you’re putting in your machine and how you plan on using your machine will heavily influence the size of swap you need (ram intensive vs not ram intensive).

You can set up with a ‘swap file’ on a hard drive after you install your OS.
Or you can set up a ‘swap partition’ on your harddrive when you’re setting up your partitions prior to OS installation
Or you can set up a separate harddrive as a swap drive
Or if you have a lot of ram you can avoid setting up swap entirely. This is not advisable though, it sucks finding out something is ram intensive when what you’re doing crashes.

It’s good to have an idea of how you want to map out your hard drives before installing your OS.
The world is your oyster.

If you’re dual booting windows you need to turn off ‘safe boot’ in your BIOS.

Oh I’m sure it’s a priority, just not in the way he means.

I personally like the roulette every time I make a risky click. Am I going to get some horrific medical gore that doctors use to desensitize themselves, or am I going to get cock and ball torture, maybe it’s a sports illustrated calendar girl, or bread nailed to a tree. Who knows? It’s the internet. A terrible place where you can’t trust someone didn’t intentionally mislabel something just to trick you into watching Rick Astley busting some sick dance moves to a catchy song.
I suppose they could make differentiating nsfw types an optional thing though.
