I think we should still do it, we probably will never understand unless we do it, but we have to accept the possibility that if these synths are indeed sentient then they also deserve the basic rights of intelligent living beings.

That raises a lot of ethical concerns. It is not possible to prove or disprove that these synthetic homunculi controllers are sentient and intelligent beings.

Good for them. Maybe they could go work for NASA when all is said and done.

Linux keeps winning by doing nothing.

People hated them, because they told the truth.

'Nam wins again.

I didn’t read this, but did you guys know that Zerglings from the game StarCraft: Brood War have a unique upgrade called Adrenal Glands. After applying the upgrade they are colloquially referred to as “Cracklings” because they attack so quickly. This upgrade, only available after evolving a Hive, makes Zerglings extremely effective in the late game, and allows them to swarm enemy units and bases much more effectively. Despite their small size and low health, with this upgrade, Zerglings can become a critical component of the Zerg army, showcasing the game’s strategic depth and the importance of upgrades.

Sounds like you already have a solid plan.

If you have any old laptops or desktops you could convert those instead of using a Pi, but the Pi will work wonders as long as it’s not going to be a 4K TV. Your only real concern here is making sure whatever device you use is able to output video at the TV’s resolution and display hertz.

You’ll probably have more difficulty finding a TV that isn’t a smart TV, than finding a home theater device that is capable of streaming nowadays.

Windfalls like this cannot be taking lightly and need to be approached strategically. It depends heavily on tax laws and employee finances overall.

Some common got rich quick concerns off the top of my head: Could accidentally knock people into a higher tax bracket and ruin their finances long term for short term gain. Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term. Could make someone in a low income area a target before they have a chance to move out. Could accidentally get double taxed by doing the payout incorrectly because they’re not practiced with handling this much money. Could overinvest it all back into the company and burn too brightly negating all their success. Doing nothing and simply using it as cash reserves is better than making a foolish mistake and ruining it for themselves.

Yes. It’s basically required. Weed helps too, though many experts claim that you don’t need to smoke it and simply touching grass will suffice but idk man. Better to play it safe and just take rips between sips.

Lmao nah. Lemmy is just decentralized censorship. Anyone can ban or block anything else; anyone can start their own community instance and kill it on a whim. Multiple communities have already defederated in the less than a year that I’ve been on here.

Lemmy solves the issue of centralized censorship/echo chamber communities, by replacing them with individual personalized echo chambers that you get to censor yourself. It’s a lot of work to set it up and sustain that type of situation, so it’s not realistic for a rational person that does not have a severe internet addiction to waste their time and effort doing it.

Fuzzy divides suck, let’s narrow it down! I think it’s more accurate to call them both members of the Great Loser generation. The only group of Americans that failed at basically everything they had and did. They ruined the post WW2 economy, they failed to prevent nuclear proliferation and often encouraged it, they lost every single war they engaged in or started, including the dumb shit like war on drugs, they caused more market crashes than any group of Americans, education has floundered and been completed bastardized by their abhorrent policies, etc.

Doesn’t the fourth A overflow and actually make it a 00F tier game?

Imagine writing this headline in a universe where daylight exists rofl.

Classical Computers count numbers and do math on numbers. Quantum Computers count collections of numbers and do math on entire collections of numbers.

One is like cooking a full course meal on a single stovetop, the other is doing the same but using an entire restaurant kitchen. The end result is the same meal, but the approach was different. The home chef classic computer has to cook things in the order they were served in, but was able to clean dishes and prepare each step. Problems could be identified and fixed swiftly, buIt took a long time and there were probably a lot of delays between courses so it wasn’t the best meal and a lot of shortcuts and hacks are done to keep things moving.

The restaurant chef does the whole thing all at once and staggers cook timings so everything arrives at the right time. They have no time so they need to carefully plan ahead and set things up, then they have to burn through a shitload of energy making the meal. If anything goes wrong, the whole thing collapses. It may take a higher level of skill to make the meal, but that skill is still founded on the core principles found at home cooking and can even be used at home in a limited manner.

Technically quantum computers can’t do anything new, but the speed boost allows us to do things that are currently impossible. Doing more math at the same time in huge batches is the compututational speed equivalent of breaking the sound barrier.

You should learn Rust because you think that the language is intriguing and that controlling the lifespan of a variable is an interesting feature.
