I don't think my adblocker cares what kind of ads they're trying to show me. If anything their algorithms will just get confused for why this guy who used to be here hours every day now only comes to watch war videos once a day but no longer comments or upvotes anything.

Hue lights also works from the light switch just like a normal bulb.

Why even bother responding to me if, instead of addressing what exactly you take issue with in my statement, you just immediately resort to insults?

The only times I see people like me, who prefer owning a car "shouting down" people adcovating for better public transport, is when people suggest I should get rid of my car and ride a bus instead. A good public transportation system is a net-good for everyone, and in no way inconveniences me especially if I never even use it. It's not busses and trains I have an issue with - it's the naive city dwellers who thinks that because they get around just fine without a car then anyone would.

Solid Explorer but it's not like I've tried all the others too. It's what I always go to and it has served me good.

Hot glue can be undone with heat

Ease of swapping parts is quite pointless as long as they keep bricking your device/disabling features when unoriginal part is detected even if it's from another genuine iPhone.

Yeah I have no idea. The alternative would be electric radiators anyways so in most cases that wouldn't make a difference anyways. Temperatures that low are quite rare - maybe just a handful of nights a year. Generally it stays around -10C

Yeah averages are way higher than that. My point just was that saying they don't work in cold climates isn't quite true. Yes, there are locations with way colder climates than this but if Finland isn't considered a "cold climate" then I don't know what is.

Heat pumps are super common here. Many houses just have a electric resistance heating so people switch to heat pumps to save on electricity.

It can go down to -30C (-22f) sometimes or even below that

[–] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Well it obviously stops working and unless you have some other means of heating your house you're kinda fucked and can only hope it comes back on soon as it generally does.

This is what I find the most amusing about the criticism of LLMs and many other AI systems aswell. People often talk about them as if they're somehow uniquely flawed, while in reality what they're doing isn't that different from what humans do aswell. The biggest difference is that when a human hallucinates it's often obvious but when chatGPT does that it's harder to spot.

 

Lets assume we develop the capacity to create virtual worlds that are near indistinguishable from the real world. We hook you up into a machine and you now find yourself in what effectively is a paraller reality where you get to be the king of your own universe (if you so desire). Nothing is off limits - everything you've ever dreamt of is possible. You can be the only person there, you can populate it with unconscious AI that appears consciouss or you can have other people visit your world and you can visit theirs aswell as spend time in "public worlds" with millions of other real people.

Would you try it and do you think you'd prefer it over real world? Do you see it as a negative from individual perspective if significant part of the population basically spend their entire lives there?

 

This is the niche topic I'm into and since nobody else has made a community for it I made one myself.

All related discussion is welcome: preparing, weapons, base location, vehicles, tactics, rebooting civilication etc.
