I have seen some others, but I checked the account and they haven't posted for a year or so. Seems like they quit after they started using alternate characters.

I know it's a little crazy to me. I know of at least one guy who quit the platform after he started experimenting with alternate characters as an armchair linguist, because of the hate they were getting. Can't people have their fun or be different? Do you also go crazy if someone makes a spelling mistake or if you see a ßöøê character? In get the misinformation part for the other person, but I still think some of you are overreacting.

Do you then think (considering that it is possible) that the development of a super intelligence is inevitable?

[–] Goodman@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 weeks ago

I am expecting disappointment, and maybe a few cool technologies that will stick around. Don't think we are going to get AGI soon, but if we did, no-one asked for it anyways.

 

Statement on Superintelligence taken from https://superintelligence-statement.org/

Context: Innovative AI tools may bring unprecedented health and prosperity. However, alongside tools, many leading AI companies have the stated goal of building superintelligence in the coming decade that can significantly outperform all humans on essentially all cognitive tasks. This has raised concerns, ranging from human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity, and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction. The succinct statement below aims to create common knowledge of the growing number of experts and public figures who oppose a rush to superintelligence.

Statement: We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is

  1. broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably
  2. strong public buy-in.

Is it your body?

They might be ignorant or edgy, but they definitely know the meaning. To answer your question, no there aren't any other close words to confuse it.

I don't quite get your question, but It's not bullshit, I believe that the terms were first coined by Marx (if memory serves). The base superstucture model is just a model by which to view the world, in that it explains (to some degree) how sociocultural/economic and other phenomenon arise from the means and relations of production, which is definitely true to some extent. But no model is perfect and it's not the only model. The world is pretty complex and people can and do take actions that defy this model.

Source, I tagged along with an anthropology course where this was covered. So I definitely don't know everything there is to know.

The current worst case prediction is 82cm of rise (from 2014 level) at the end of the century, which is still survivable. So probably their children https://sealevel.nasa.gov/ipcc-ar6-sea-level-projection-tool?lat=52&lon=+4&data_layer=scenario

I think you might be right. But there are pbbly still some of those lighter pickups that can be driven by a B licence, which is unfortunate. I found the vehicle chart on Wikipedia quite helpful https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_classification

P.S. also crazy that so many US vehicles exceed that weight limit. Heavy and big cars are generally bad for everyone.

Thanks for replying, are you implying that they can not be driven with a standard B license? I could believe it but I thought that B encompassed quite a lot of vehicles/mass/sizes

Interesting, may I ask how you know?

 
 

Dear all, as the title says I am looking for some advice on durable hiking poles and microspikes/crampons.

I frequently hike in the alps and people have told me that there really are no durable microspikes and that the best you can do are repairable metal links. I was wondering if any of you have advice and or experience with these items.

 

One isn't much better than the other lol
