  • I haven't seen it and haven't used Reddit in over 18 months.

  • Seriously, how would a global democracy work?

  • Same way it works in a country but globally.

  • What the fuck is existence? What even is the truth? How does one know their parents are even real, and not just another actor in an IRL "Truman Show". Isn't history just another story?

  • CAP theorem is about distributed computing, there's no reason to not believe the universe simply runs on a single processor though. Video games have 3d space and can run on one processor. So that would allow consistency and availability.

  • There's no way to break out of it if it is, so don't get caught up thinking about it too hard. It's better to live life as if it isn't.

    When shit gets bad in my life I feel like this sometimes. The movie I Saw the TV Glow really fucked me up. I don't think I can watch it again until I'm in a much better place and much happier about the state of the world. It just hit too close to home on too many of my anxieties. Like, obviously I didn't think the movie was going to make me kill myself or something, but it really scared me how close it felt to that. It is so tempting to believe there is an escape hatch. To get out of the nightmare. But there isn't. Looking for one is only going to bring you grief.

    Pursue your joy. Focus on what you're thankful for.

  • Can you think of any now?

  • Yes. Ceres was considered a planet when discovered in 1801 and around the 1950s began to be classified as an asteroid. It is now considered a dwarf planet like Pluto. It's the largest thing in the asteroid belt but is still sort of planet shaped.

  • Pope Leo refuses to authorise an AI Pope and declares the technology 'an empty, cold shell that will do great damage to what humanity is about'

    Jump

  • The idea that AI can interpret scripture is funny to me. It's almost like it's an admission there are no divine insights to be made. Though I suppose people could believe God talks to/works through machines.

  • The irony being that really fully understanding what all a task will require and getting exact specificaion can often make a task take longer.

  • I think it's a neat idea but probably needs more contributors and for people to be a bit more critical with things. For example, an obvious one, I don't see it mention that Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. That would be a great thing to mention, especially if you talk about things we used to consider planets but don't any longer. Ceres is another example of this. In 1801 it was discovered and considered a planet until sometime in the 1950s (it seems like it wasn't an all-at-once shift) when it was considered an asteroid despite its planet like appearance. Now it is considered a dwarf planet like Pluto.

  • Just put in 2010 and most of everything it said is incredibly obvious. Plus some of the dates of updated sources seem really incorrect. For example, one of them is it is a myth that most oxygen comes from trees, but I very distinctly remember my math teacher of all people saying in 2006 or 2007 that when he was in school he corrected people that it's mostly from plankton. And even if I'm misremembering this, he definitely said something about it being from plankton in those years, but it says the updated sources are from 2020.

    It says that it is a myth that the big bang theory explains where the universe came from but in 2020 we found out it doesn't explain what came before. Like... No? That's always been what it is. Sure, it's always been a Christian talking point to sort of say that, but then why say 2020?

    But I guess it's hard to really gauge what should and shouldn't be included. I remember my 5th grade teacher telling me that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. I don't really remember exactly what all she said and if she got deeper into Lost Cause rhetoric than that, but she definitely said Lee was a "good man."

  • What complaining? It's a political cartoon. It's not saying they shouldn't have done something late. It's just a reminder that they didn't do anything earlier.

  • I feel like it's fair to ask someone not to call you bro, but it's fucked to threaten banning them over a downvote.
