I lived abroad for a while in a country I didn’t initially speak the language in. One thing I clearly remember is feeling quite different because advertising literally had no effect on me since I couldn’t understand it.

Part of me would want to share these pleasant places with others. Part of me would not.

Floss, brush regularly. Get wisdom teeth removed before you are 40.

I currently live in a state where it’s mostly DSO’s. One of my parents was a private practice dentist and the quality of just basic teeth cleanings is really bad here. The state my parent worked in I feel like didn’t have as many DSOs and the care was better.

Is it any different than yelling at an ice machine or some inanimate thing when it frustrates you? Seems pretty common.

Reminds me of the Simpson’s episode where Lisa grows a society.

Feel like eventually ai will get so good people will just autogenerate games just for themselves. Same for movies/shows/etc.

Off tangent but the latest prince of Persia game is really fun

I’ve been on some teams where some SQL devs can do some non intuitive things with SQL (particularly some of the enterprise features from Oracle). Not saying they were the right decisions but I do think some processes get knitted to these enterprise features and it’s painful to walk back later

I think some of the current leaders believe the US would’ve won Vietnam and Iraq wars if tv/media coverage of it hadn’t existed or been more like ww2. So, I think they were honestly ok with collateral damage.

Interesting that the immediate reply to that comment is about how ASML code is equally shitty

“We found the face huggers and now we think we can control them.”

I always wonder if any true AGI and ASI for that matter can be controlled at all by humans. It seems like we are hoping for something that winds up being on the human spectrum of “good”

85% reduction in VMware fees replaced by some other fees from something else? Or just an overall 85% reduction in cost?

Isn’t alphabet an investor in their new endeavor?

Current attention behavior with all of our devices reminds me of the The Box machine in Batman Forever, but way worse as it is perniciously unobvious to most.
