It’s in development btw

I have never met anyone who has read Alastair Reynolds’ Revelation Space series. It’s one of my favourite sci-fi’s and I can’t even get someone I know to read it, everyone thinks it’s boring :)

How come no one mentioned it yet?

Guys, check out this short film :)

Of course they do, better than ever actually. Google OpenType ligatures, for example. You can even use those on the web using CSS.

Some fonts have hundreds of different ligatures.

Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.

Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

I don’t understand how Chinese room is a valuable argument. To me, while the person inside the room doesn’t understand Chinese, the system room-person-instructions does. You don’t argue that you don’t understand your language because none of your individual neurons understand it.

I don’t claim that chatGPT “understands” the language, I just don’t think that this argument applies in general.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

I had a CT scan after an accident, and no one told me what contrast is going to feel like, the nurse simply injected me without any explanation.

And omfg, that might’ve been one of the scariest 30 seconds of my life. It felt like I was injected with straight up lava. My whole body was burning from the inside, and I felt like I would just spontaneously combust any second. It very quickly subsided though and there was no negative reaction overall, just higher sensitivity than average. But holy shit, I would want to know about stuff like this beforehand.

At this rate, he’ll also copy musk’s advertiser turnaround and changes in company valuation

His pigments are pretty cool. I’ve used several over the years and quite liked them.

You know scientists always trying to make things happen but never asking if they “Should”?

I’ve never seen someone use this as an argument, only as a joke. Can you provide some examples of the things that you think scientists tried to make happen without thinking whether they should or not?

Also, how is user-specific trust at play here? I never even look at usernames, instead I will upvote or ignore posts based on their content. I don’t think you can really ease Lemmy/kbin users into believing some divisive nonsense that easily.

Why do you feel like matrix has failed? I joined it recently and to me it looks like it’s kinda growing.

With stuff like “act of god” clauses and limited liability bankruptcies it might not really bother them that much.

It’s amazing what one person’s actions can do to an entire brand. For the first several years after the Model S release I was sure that my next car is going to be a Tesla. Now, I’m 100% sure that I’ll never buy one.

Not surprising really. Google has decided that it really doesn’t want me to use it so I switched to DDG a couple of years ago. And it doesn’t feel like I’ve lost anything of value.

He’s playing with his new middle age crisis toy. Cars and spaceships got boring.

Locking social norms at some predetermined stage is a great way to curb all progress. Like, slavery was a social norm at some point.

Just wanted to comment that your cover image is great and on point :)
