Hope they learned and aren’t announcing more than they can deliver again.

Let’s say your great-great grandfather stole bricks from a victim to build a factory that you now own and that provides a nice living. Because of that the victim was not able to build a factory and their descendants are poor.
Let’s say this crime is very well documented.
Did you do the crime? No. Are you reaping the benefits of the crime? Yes.
Should you give that factory to the descendants? Should you be required to help the poor descendants? Would it be a nice gesture to help the poor descendants?
Nobody is asking for the factory. People are asking for a bit of help because it’s clear that you are still reaping the benefits of a crime that was perpetrated by an ancestor and the victims descendants are still feeling the repercussions of that crime.

Hm, AI isn’t going to kill us with Skynet, it’ll just corrode our knowledge and blur our reality.

A growing web of hundreds of billions of websites, more data than even 100,000 of the most expensive iPhones mashed together could possibly store.

Should I read the rest of the article after stumbling upon this idiotic comparison?

I have a Fitbit Versa with internal storage for music. The only way to get music onto the device is via the desktop app. The app cannot be downloaded anymore and it cannot be started because the login servers were shut down…

Guess I’ll never buy a google product again.

The dev builds are actually very recent but finding a cheap hardware is still not that easy. The forums are a great place to start, I guess.

thanks, that’s a great starting point. It seems the SanDisk players aren’t easily available anymore but I’ll look for the other compatible devices.

While it’s easy to prove rigorously I think the easiest way to think about it is to think what number/numbers could go between 0.9 repeating and 1.
I guess that it also requires a second thought experiment that if no numbers can go between two numbers, those two numbers must be the same.

edit: this might be even easier:

1/3 = 0.333… -> multiply both sides by 3
3/3 = 0.999…
1 = 0.999…

Very important report, but this case is baffling

Ismail al-Naqla, Mohammed’s brother and the father of Abdel Karim, told Amnesty International that their next-door neighbour received a call from the Israeli military at around 10:30am, warning that his building was about to be bombed. Ismail and Mohammed and their families left the building immediately, as did their neighbours. By 3:30pm, there had been no attack, so the al-Naqlas and others went home to collect necessities. Ismail explained that they had thought it would be safe to do so as five hours had elapsed since the warning, though they planned to leave again very quickly.

But as they were returning to their apartments, a bomb struck the building next door, destroying the al-Naqlas’ home and damaging others nearby. Mohammed and his family were still in the courtyard of their building when they were killed.

If you were warned that your home was a target why return with a bunch of children?

though they planned to leave again very quickly.

They knew it was still dangerous. If you need to get stuff from your home, your 3 and 5 year olds won’t help with that. Leave them with Ismail and get capable adults to get in and out quickly. If your decision making in the face of risks is based on inshallah, if God wills it, then you can’t complain if your God willed it.

This is all fucked up and their home should probably not have been a target in the first place. But they knew it was and brought their children there.

This is probably victim blaming but the decisions made in this case were very bad. Though of course it doesn’t absolve the perpetrators.

I mostly enjoyed it but I never read the books so couldn’t compare. Visually it’s a treat. Apart from some things seeming a bit too “magic” I’d recommend it to sci fi fans.

Yes, the Apple TV adaptation

Wishful thinking headlines? I guess it’s an opinion piece and I agree that it should be one of the top issues. Still this headline is utter bullshit.

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

Newsweek is not a credible source

Yeah, wouldn’t recommend if you aren’t a hardcore fan of the setting. Having to suffer through all of the typical Bethesda jank with these problems on top is pretty rough.

It’s a 10 year old CPU with 4 cores. The game pauses for seconds every so often. About every 2 hours it crashes.

Been playing Starfield on an i5 Haswell CPU (it’s a PITA). Currently re-downloading Cyberpunk to play 2.0
