"Free will" is a gesture at the experience we have of deliberating upon and deciding our own actions, I don't think determinism really matters, as long as we're the ones doing the deterministic calculations by which we c

Oh, I definitely feel like I'm working in the top 1% of jobs now. Full time WFH since significantly before covid, it's B2B so even though I'm nominally on call, that's just a nice chunk of extra pay for maybe 1-2 calls

I wish, this was more about working several summers near a large, hot furnace with no AC.

Speaking as someone who has worked in a factory, you couldn't pay me a six figure salary to go back. And most of the things were automated already, at least as much as reasonably could be.

> If my job requires menial labor or involves getting berated by customers (many retail jobs), personally I would absolutely not work. Having worked in a factory, there's no way I'd do that for free. Heck, even at my current s

I get what they're gesturing at, but I find a stronger emotional reaction against child porn than CSAM and it never once occurred to me that anyone thought this term implied it was in any way consensual or non-horrific.

Thank you for the link, that annoys me to no end, as well. I mentally downgrade the reliability of any publication that does not do this, because legal reporting is so uniformly terrible that I hardly trust anyone to summarize things correc

Yeah, I got a Brother laser printer about 10 years ago. Still works just fine. I think it has the original toner in it.

There have been a number of catastrophic floods in history, as well, which could possibly account for some of flood stories being shared by so many cultures--including some in the Americas, like the Maya. https://en.wikipedia.org

You keep saying 'western' medicine. Is this to imply that some other method exists to study long term harms? I suppose long traditional use might, but this doesn't seem meaningfully different from running medical testing ov

This makes me realize that "Crash Override" was probably a riff on "Flash Override" which I somehow never connected before.

That said, it's hard for people to know any more after things like the "I am not a cat" video.

This is the hard part about "value creation." Is something that makes someone happier--even if others see that same thing as pointless waste--value? We don't all want the same things and people want things we don't want

Yeah, I remember them. But somehow we never let computers just talk to each other via sound, directly. Like humans do.

I thought it was possible to make cement that could absorb CO2?

LOL it's amazing that we've invented all this stuff and yet never just let our computers talk to each other without a wifi card or a phone or whatever else. We just needed a speaker and a microphone the whole time. How long bef

Yeah, the only question is whether Alec knows that or not. He doesn't seem very clued in about gun safety and has said some very odd things to the press, which is also horribly inadvisable from a legal perspective. I wonder what he&#x

I heard somewhere--I think from claims in one of the lawsuits that was filed--that he might've been playing with the hammer. If he had the trigger already depressed, he might've fired it by releasing the hammer without technicall

Does it only have released movies? I was trying to find Alec Baldwin's infamous gun from Rust.

Man, this reminds me of "playing" ProgressQuest back in the day. You'd just sit there and watch the task bars fill.

Better ping Toady One and get him to add this info to Dwarf Fortress.

It'd help on your post, too, but ultimately we live in a world that contains vagueness. I feel more comfortable not marking a post about a giant washing machine being used to spin news with a blinking SATIRE sign than your post, thoug
