Scotis will rule, "It's completely different and illegal when Democrats do it."

This is a good thing. If AI is tracking me on Lemmy, that means capitalism is going to make more open source products for me!

Right?

Coney needs to publicly say how he supported Trump in the 2016 election by attacking Hillary Clinton right before the election.

If memory is so important to you than you really need to stop reading and writing. Before literacy was common everyone remembered everything. Knowledge was oral. People had fantastic memories because they had to.

"Report says that in the schools of the Druids they learn by heart a great number of verses, and therefore some persons remain twenty years under training. And they do not think it proper to commit these utterances to writing, although in almost all other matters, and in their public and private accounts, they make use of Greek letters. I believe that they have adopted the practice for two reasons — that they do not wish the rule to become common property, nor those who learn the rule to rely on writing and so neglect the cultivation of the memory; and, in fact, it does usually happen that the assistance of writing tends to relax the diligence of the student and the action of the memory."

Now my mind is filled with knowledge of current ly useful processes instead of facts that aren't immediately useful. I know details of cooking, 3D printing, programming and home repair. Your brain is finite. It's why your memories are deleted when you sleep.

If they regulated guns, Charlie Kirk died for nothing!

Are you confused as to which way to hold a book?

You don't need to know North when reading a road map. It isn't Boy Scouts where you have a terrain map and you are trying to orientate yourself to unlabeled terrain.

You have road intersections labeled in real life and on the map. You only need to know to travel along a road and turn right or left until you get to the next road at which point you again turn right or left until you reach your destination.

My friend's 1990's era Jaguar came with a navigation that worked like that. There was no map. It was a text display that displayed directions as turn by turn directions.

In effect you die every night when you lose consciousness. While unconscious, your brain stores long term memories and that rewires your mind slightly. Some things are discarded. You wake up a different person.

You looked at a map beforehand and saw what directions to go. The map book has an index in the back to find destinations.

You often wrote a note for yourself beforehand. Rt 40, take exit 17a, take 97 S exit, Rt onto Brookshire,

You didn't need to know north.

I drove for decades before gps. No one taught me how to use a map. You bought one and it was obvious because it was the same as any text book with an index in the back.

You act like kids are stupid.

I'm probably older than both of you. I use gps constantly even when I know the route. It's safer to focus on the road than think about the route.

People didn't use to memorize numbers. They used little private address books that you wrote your numbers in. Moving that text to a computer screen changed nothing for the majority of people.

I don't use Facebook but I didn't use Myspace either.

I don't use AI but I have nothing against it. I used it once to write some code in VBscript which is a language that would be a complete waste of time to learn. It saved dozens of hours.

A gps is a paper map on the computer with the feature that shows your location on the map.

There's nothing to learn. The gps voice prompt takes the place of the passenger who's job it was to voice prompt you.

Bitrot happens even when sitting around. Magnetic domains flip. SSD cells leak electrons.

Reading and rewriting with an ECC system is the only way to prevent bit rot. It's particularly critical for SSDs.

Teleportation seems theoretically feasible. Record the position of the cells and state of various neurotransmitter chemicals, throw the body in a wood chipper, transmit the data, 3d print new body at new location.
