Really, the big problem are the instability from ripple effects. How will the world react to massive migrant crises and new, more intense conflict? To increasing economic recessions and the breaking away of old privileges? All things we are already seeing and that won’t go away anytime soon.

Now, total extinction of the species, yeah, that is very unlikely, unless something really unexpected happens. But throwing us potentially back centuries in progress, and killing a majority of people? A nuclear exchange from escalating tensions could create something like that.

Played both Undertale and Deltarune on Deck, it works well with the controls. Enjoy! It’s a great experience, wish I could play it for the first time again.

The mining is also usually a really polluting affair for the region, much more than the what power generation might suggest. And overall, in many countries there is a lot of subsidies going on for hidden costs, especially relating to the waste and initial construction. So it is not as cheap as a first look might suggest.

I’m not against it per se, it is better than fossil fuels, which simply is the more urgent matter, but it’s never been the wonder technology it has been touted as ever since it first appeared.

Oh, this brought me back to when I was in a psychiatric clinic as a teenager and I reacted like that to something, and this one girl with borderline was just about ready to kill me…

Don’t commend me too hard - it’s actually a copypasta I found online a while ago

Ha, funnily enough, that is genuinely not all that far away from where I live, definitely reachable by train in 45-120 min, depending on circumstances, and I do have a Deutschlandticket, so don’t promise what you can’t keep

“Of in” sounds similar to “oven”. In the context of the joke, “of in” itself has two meanings, while at the same time sounding like the word “oven”. When you say you “of in”, there’s a clever triple meaning at play: “of in” could be referring to three things: 1. the act of inserting the food into the apparatus; 2. the presence of heat emitted from the apparatus; 3. a pun of “oven”. The joke then makes the claim that “of out” is the antonym of “of in”. If “of in” means inserting the food, then “of out” means removing the food; if “of in” means heat is present within the food, then “of out” means heat is absent from the food.

Here’s an example of a sentence that uses all the definitions of “of in” and “of out”: When a food is considered cold, the heat from the oven is “of out” (absent from) the food; so you “of in” (insert) the cold food into the oven, then you “of out” (remove) the food from the oven once the heat from the oven is “of in” (present within) the food.

The punchline of the joke hinges on the origin of the name given to the apparatus, oven. The premise of the punchline insists the name “oven” has to come from “of in”. If a claim is made that oven is named after the act of inserting cold food into the apparatus (of in), then according to the joke, it does not make sense, because the heat from the apparatus is absent from the food (of out). Conversely, if oven is named after the presence of heat from the apparatus within the hot food (of in), then it conflicts with the fact that hot food is removed from the apparatus (of out).

The humor of the punchline comes from the flawed logic used to deduce to origin of the name “oven”. The logic is flawed in such a way that one who uses it to find the etymology of “oven” would simply be stuck in an endless cycle of speculation and end up never finding the answer they are looking for.

So, I don’t want to worry you too much, but I might be in love with your girlfriend.

And this washing powder.

We’re working on a polycule right now, maybe you can be part of it.

I can at least anecdotally confirm this isn’t just a US issue either. Here in Germany, I met a guy at a psychiatric clinic as a fellow patient with a very similar story (in this case working in logistics, not construction, but also in a position requiring hard manual labour).

His German wasn’t all that good, so that made exploiting him easier - and while his medical bills were covered and he in theory had the legal rights to have his de-facto disability from work recognized, his work environment and pressure had made him ignore his own health and rights out of fear of not being able to support his ex-wife and children, who were everything to him. He had also internalised that his self-worth stems from his superior work ethics. In the end, the bosses/owners of his medium-small employer downsized heavily and pocketed a lot of money, but with no way to prove any illegal stuff going on in the process easily. He was dropped because he couldn’t work as self-destructively any more with his chronic injuries/issues. That broke him.

This social dynamic is appaling and probably very universal in the majority of the world.

But what, oh person inside my phone, what would you think of me, after hearing this shocking confession:

I…

I did not always comment…

Well, at least I heard there will be other people

How did you get this photograph of me, and how dare you doxx me like that? D:

You’ve got a great point there, actually

It’s disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines.

Law is always part of an ideological whole, that stems from the material base. Justice will always feel different to the opposed classes, we have to force our justice or their justice is forced on us.

Now that you brought it up: I only today learned the completely legit and in no way misleading translation of what is being said:

That’s what I suspect, too, but I’m not entirely sure in my research so far. The question I am still unsure about: Is it as costly in running, or is the real costly part “just” the “training our model” part? I wondered that, because when I was messing around, things like generative text models could run on my potato PC with a bit of python scripting without too much issue, even if not ideally - as long as I had the already trained dataset downloaded.

Oh, wow, another book for the reading list :O

Am surprised that I genuinely hadn’t heard of him, just highlights the point the article is making.
