Leave it green
It’s pretty. It’s not a reflecting pool like this, but it’s not bad looking

That makes sense

I think it’s inevitable.
I also think it won’t be possible on our current kind of computing hardware.

The software of the human mind, seems a byproduct of the structure of the human brain. I think a major revolution in processor design and manufacturing tech will be needed. It’ll need some fundamentally new form. Closer to an ASIC or FPGA processor to run with any kind of reasonable efficiency. But it’ll have to be truly 3 dimensional, not just layers of 2d chips. It’ll also need to be extremely low power.

LLMs are as close as we have right now, and they have miles to go. But they need hundreds of times more power than the brain does. No it won’t be soon and it won’t be with this kind of silicon processors.

I get the idea.
But the joke is broken for me by the odd choice for an Andorian to have a hot tub.
They’re notoriously a cold adapted species.

Those numbers strike me as very low
Each bar covers 4 years. Are the X axis values per year or total?

As written it should be total.
I’m pretty sure more people than that die while driving and texting.

Reguarding black holes. The idea is that things don’t go straight into a black hole. Like everything, they orbit. The orbit gets closer and closer, tighter and tighter. As it does the orbital speed increases. Eventually it increases to the speed of light (or near enough practically). For things moving at the speed of light, time effectively stops. So kinda, yah. Subjectively time ceases to exist in a black hole.

They are way cheaper I imagine.

In fact, I’d bet that’s how it was made. They have a team design the cheapest possible delivery vehicle with no rules. Then it obviously can’t be road legal, so they get a team of lawers to work on that. Someone realises if they add pedals and call it an Ebike, they get to ignore practically all regulations. So they did.

Thank you

Funny to call me a “MAGA moron”

That’s not what I did. Read it again.

I asked several why questions. None were “why could someone be upset by this”.

Seriously. Help me understand something.

Why?
Why engage in such lazy thinking? Why accept the vibes over facts, like a MAGA moron?

You could sign up for an affiliate link your self today. Then plaster that link and official Proton marketing graphics all over an environmental extremist site advocating forced sterilization to save the Earth.

Proton didn’t “sponsor” that YouTuber any more than YouTube itself did. Why get pissy at one of the few companies offering a pro-consumer alternative to much of the capitalist enshitizine? Why make up shit about a B-Corp, owned by a nonprofit foundation, with a board made entirely of scientists and engineers?

Did you report the channel to YouTube also? Why not? What’s worse, using his channel to promote Proton, or using it to promote bigotry? Who’s the real bad guy here?

Tell me please! Why attack Proton instead of one of the truly proven bad actors in this space?

At the start of trading maybe. But what about by market close?
No idea

They realy aren’t, and don’t.
Tuta doesn’t have even half the user base, or services.

They aren’t bad at all. And I don’t doubt they’ll get there.
But they aren’t at all close yet.

Yah, bestselling is wrong.
Most profitable would be the term.

Is it funny?
By a sizeable margin they’re the largest and most popular in the space. At the same time, that makes them the biggest target and most watched.

Someone even mentioned a possible smear campaign by Google. While there’s no evidence at all of that, they would be the most obvious target.

So it’s not really funny or odd in any way. It’s kind of obvious really.

Exactly!
States have the authority to run their elections how they see fit.
And the executive branch has no authority over the states. The president can’t order a state to do anything. Not even a presidential parden has power over state courts.

I don’t know any of the details you’re asking about.

But I can say addiction is defined by behaviour. It may not be exactly what you mean.

You might be thinking of chemical dependency. That’s how nicotine, opioids, and alcohol work. Those are specific to each drug.

Things like gambling and sex addiction are based on different chemical processes, and largely work the same, whatever the addictive behaviour may be.

But again my knowledge here is pretty limited.

In some ways yes, others no.
In what way are you thinking?

Proton’s a good alternative.
There’s some confused allegations of them being MAGA Facists. But it’s a combination of misunderstanding and misrepresentation.

I’m an X-Ray tech at a University hospital with Level 1 trauma. It’s a lot of physical work. A few miles a day of walking, pushing x-ray plates under patients, moving patients to and from the table. It’s also cognitive work, problem solving. Deciding what order to do exams in. Coming up with a way to get the image when the patient can’t move properly. Is this exam even right? Does it make sense? Do we need extra images due to a fracture, or fewer images because the patient says only this part hurts, not the whole arm that was ordered?

I can say to everyone, any job you can do for 8 hours, you can do 50% longer. It’s surprising.

When I tell people I work 3 days, 12 hour shifts. They say something like “That’s way too long I could never do that.”
They don’t think about the fact that I get a 4 day long weekend… EVERY WEEK!
I could never go back to a 5 day schedule.
