  • How finely do you cut your steak at a restaurant? I'm imagining you cutting very fine slices and savoring them one by one.

  • It's important not to think about the transporter too much. The transporter should be able to make everyone immortal and cure any disease. But they don't tend to use it for that for some reason.

  • Yeah, except that new Tuvix won't want to die either!

  • I want to see the chaos Janeway solution.

    Dilemma: Tuvix doesn't want to die. He can do both Neelix's and Tuvok's jobs, but he simply doesn't have time for both, and Janeway is in a survival situation. She needs them both.

    Solution? Just Tom Riker Tuvix! We'll just have two Tuvixes!

    Though honestly, this comic is genuinely beautiful, a real love letter to TNG/DS9/VGR era Trek.

  • Harris could have promised to kiss Bezos’s feet and anyone remotely antifa should have still voted for her.

    You're beyond saving. You are why Kamala lost the election. Please emigrate to Russia so you can vote for the lesser of two evils there and not pollute our electorate further.

  • Forget charging ICE agents with terrorism. We need to rendition ICE agents to the countries of their victims. The US justice system cannot be trusted to hold ICE agents accountable for their crimes against humanity. SCOTUS is corrupt and not a legitimate court. So let's send ICE agents to where they will be held accountable. All those ICE agents that sent innocent Venezuelan citizens to a torture camp in El Salvador? They should all be rounded up and sent to Venezuela to face justice for their crimes against Venezuelan citizens.

    Mamdani’s Support for Palestinian Rights Was Instrumental to His Win, Poll Finds

  • Really? I never would have thought Captain Planet would take up that much space on a hard drive. Are you storing fucking Captain Planet as a 4k video? It was a cartoon from the early 90s. I think 480p would be more than enough! Sure there were 114 episodes, but they weren't that long. How much space can the complete Captain Planet really take up?

  • Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises

    Jump

  • The problem for OpenAI and their ilk is that the actual legitimate uses of LLMs are so few and niche that they cannot hope to pay for the immense cost of developing and running these systems. Like, cool. Sure I can use copilot to generate derivative meme images, but what's that actually worth to me monetarily? I'm not going to subscribe to a monthly service just to access a tool for shit posting.

  • What you're describing is Clarktech, technology sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable from magic. We don't know remotely how to create an AI artist that can actually create original works of art with their own perspective, critique, and soul. A system like any we know how to design has to create art from what is essentially the averaging of the work of many artists. Everything they make is a work by committee. Any individual perspective is washed out in the generating process.

    We simply don't have any idea how to create an AI that would exhibit the kind of individual perspective of a human artist. Until we at least have some plausible pathway for that, we might as well be arguing about what happens if it turns out magic is real.

  • Danish Study: No link between vaccines and autism or 49 other health conditions

    Jump

  • This study is incomplete. They cannot statistically say that there is no link between vaccines and autism. They need to run the statistical analysis to determine if vaccine researchers have higher than average autism rates, even after correcting for multiple confounding variables.

  • They should have made any bank bailout contingent on nationalization. That was the big mistake.

    Is your bank insolvent to the point that it needs emergency federal assistance? Is it so grand that letting your Tower of Babel collapse endangers the entire nation? Do we the taxpayers have a guns to ours heads here, forcing us to give out these bailouts? All to clean up the mess left behind by overpaid, overconfident, completely incompetent bank executives?

    If so? Fine. A bailout will be given to protect the customers and the nation, but the existing shareholders are completely wiped out. The feds take ownership of the bank. They divide the accounts and remaining assets of the megabank up amongst a dozen smaller new banks it creates as a replacement for the failed giant. The Federal Reserve provides credit to the new banks as they get started. Eventually, when they stabilize, the government holds IPOs for the new banks and completely divests ownership of them.

    THAT is how bank bailouts should work. This way, moral hazard is avoided, the government isn't fleeced, and market consolidation is reversed all in one go.

  • Frankly, the answer should be for every site to just cut the UK off entirely. Let them have their own little North Korean style micronet. Maybe when the people of the UK can't visit anything but a bunch of miserable English websites, they will get off their asses and elect competent leaders. If not, well maybe they're just not the sort of people we should allow access to the global communications network. Let the barbarians stew in their own barbarism.
