People always assume he's been walking continuously for all these years, and it's understandable because the headlines are always written to imply that.

He doesn't. He walks some, marks where he stopped, takes a break, continues from where he left off.

Steam (and games) all work flawlessly. Even streaming VR to my Quest 2 and flatscreen to my TV works perfect.

I see this a lot, people somehow under the belief that high-skill/high-paying jobs will remain here and the low-skill/low-paying jobs stay over there. And then are somehow shocked and surprised when other people also want those high $ jobs. It's just such a tenuous grip on reality.

Just that, sleeping while in some VR world. There are plenty of "sleep with me" VRChat worlds (without the eroticism)

There's been a decent amount of drugs that have been made via a brute force method, but it's a pretty physical process, usually pipetting a few hundred thousand compounds and samples. There's also a lot of drugs where we don't fully understand how they work.

This feels like an AI trap almost. A lot of the badness comes from people who don't want/can't put effort into it, so we all get a deluge of the sameyness.

Yeah, if the drain in the sink is clogged. US bathroom pipe is 1.25" which will (probably) lead to a 2" and 4" pipe eventually (depending on when, where, and how your house was built ofc). The hole in the sink leads to the same initial pipe.

They'll be fine. As the police often say, if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide.

At that point though, it's like why. Reddit is, well, trash. It's barely worth visiting without an account, and if you're going to make me jump through hoops to visit, it's time to accept the message of "we don't want you here" and go somewhere else.

Well, yeah, people have been using that phrase for years, if not decades. I'm not sure if you were aware, but they actually trained Claude on human text, so it naturally sounds like the human text it trained off of.

Because it won't take twice as long, but 10x as long. There's typically a large rush on a new design, followed by a slow tick in sales. Meanwhile you have to pay to warehouse it, pay tax on the inventory, etc.

You're 75% correct, one of the 4 products does have an amp though.

You see that a lot in AI (and honestly, other discussions) where people with differing requirements are talking past each other.

Some people are listening to music as an experience, internalizing lyrics, empathizing with the feeling and vibes of the artist. Others are just wanting something pop-y as background noise while they do work. They come together and since they're arguing for different needs, the whole thing turns into a mess.

> This isn't without its risks to the mother and the child

> The result is unnecessary birth trauma.

Not trying to be snarky, but which is it? This is definitely a situation in which having a midwife there to advocate for you is an absolute plus.
