Vegetables are really bad at rowing though.

For now. 40 years ago, what it does now was impossible science fiction.

Well, the opressed and enslaved usually has no say about changing the law.

On one hand, great; will that extent to software development, architecture and other fields?

On the other hand, sounds like the first step to, when AI and androids reach self awareness and conscience, legally keep them enslaved.

When you can pay to win, to always have the last word… He’ll let them know.

He’s going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.

Chess at pro level is brutal. One can get mentally mauled if the adversary has a superior, trained for cruel psychological warfare, mind.

Men just don’t stand a chance.

Because I’m not a redneck who only watches and understands news about the weekend chicken fight in his own backyard?

What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn’t mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don’t be afraid of comparisons.

So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then free healthcare is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn’t?

It’s this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?

The article does say free insulin paid by the government. We have that in my country (Brazil), even for foreigners, but my first thought was that in the USA not even citizens get that.

This headline might be confusing for Americans. Free insulin?

because as OP made very clear, kbin is the same thing as lemmy, they are just two aliases to the same subreddit.

Ah understood. Kbin is the KDE binary to access this “lemmy” subreddit on facebook?

Interesting; I follow a motovlogger (Itchy Boots), and she is currently travelling across many African countries. After a while my wife and I noticed that there was a clear tendency of countries where she spoke French being the dirtiest, poorest, having the worst infrastructure and corruption.

Same with Haiti (French colony) vs Dominican Republic (Spanish colony).

Way to go, France!

It’s the guts of 3.5" floppies, like these, they usually stored 720kB, then 1.44MB, but the latest versions (double sided) were 2.88MB.

The larger one at the bottom is from a 5 1/4" (orange in this picture, the big daddy in the picture is 8", first type I used, with COBOL)

… and now you kids know where the “save” button icon came from.

They were not meant to be removed from their protective envelopes, they’re probably damaged now.

Instead of going vegan or not having kids, I died when I was 5. Because living also creates more greenhouse gasses.

In fact, having a small footprint is just a matter of choosing how miserable you’re willing to make your life.

Unfortunately the Earth cannot sustainably support so many people living COMFORTABLY, and eating WHATEVER WE LIKE. The more people, the more miserable is the globally sustainable way of life.

Curbing population growth - not Thanos-like, but through education and availability of contraceptive methods - is the only way we can all have the cake (and the meat) and eat it.

Many wealthy countries have their population declining. Maybe if we get to the same level of wealthiness everywhere, less people would engage in procreation.

In any case, if we just do nothing and the doomsday evangelists are even nearly right, extreme weather, plage and famine caused by climate change will indeed curb the population. Eventually it reaches equilibrium.

In this case, the faster we get to the edge of the abyss, the quicker the situation will solve itself.

How would the students fare if they had access to all the information available on the internet, used to train the AI, during the test?

What’s Reddit?
