Chimps have been observed using bits of straw as jewelry, so I imagine at least our last common ancestor.

Yeah, that sort of depends on the level of physics you’re talking about. regardless, it’s still a property of stuff even if that stuff is not always matter. if you want to go off on the weeds on that, go for it.
even so, energy is not something that exists, but a quantified attribute of things that do exist.
most people are too ignorant to understand the problems with AI or that the bill that will be coming due. they just like that the chatbot glazes them. It’s addictive.
they don’t know that AI consumes shitloads of water and other energy, is driving the cost of computing (ram, GPUs, etc.) up, and is too stupid, that if you just keep pressing it will totally tell you that killing yourself is an insightful and brilliant solution to whatever problem you’re trying to solve.
And then there’s the people that are making these things- scumbuckets. all of them are scumbuckets and most are fucking nazis.
And then there’s the concerns about social manipulation and propaganda.
Most people who know the potential future costs, and how shitty they are in the first place, and how not-actually-useful they are, hate them. the people that like them are some combination of stupid, ignorant or sold on the hype.


“Open source” means that the code they used to build software is freely and publicly available. (And more broadly, if any given IP is released to the public.)
It says nothing about how user accounts are managed on a given platform, even if that platform is open source.


To clarify, energy isn’t a “thing” that exists. It’s a property of matter, and so is mass.
So spacetime are only related in that matter exists in spacetime, and can influence it in ways we don’t (or at least I don’t,) really understand.


They ain’t saying anything we all ain’t saying or thinking.


An email service can check every email and catch the vast majority of spoofed headers pretty easily.
You’re right, it’s possible that the email is spoofed and passed the header checks, or that email is already compromised, or something.
That said, using one’s one legitimate email in a phishing test. They said the same stuff. So we spent about a month calling them for every email they sent (including the “you need to sign up for training”)
It creates more problems than it’s worth, and they caught the point pretty quickly.


my team actually does pretty good with the cyber security checks. the people running the have to meet a certain amount of metrics so they figured “hey if we send it from this one email, everyone is going to trust us!” … because that’s what they’re supposed to do… Which makes a terrible thing to do. because now they’re always going to be asking if this new email is another test.
(Bruh. if you want us to go to training, just ask.)


They do that here routinely. The last time they sent it using the email account that is basically the one email that you do not ignore because they use it for urgent “please push the patch asap” type emails.
If that email is compromised they got bigger issues.
God has a dubious understanding of consent, so this checks out.
And then there’s that.
Sorry, they’re text files. It’s a custom whonky language that gets complied/rendered
there’s OpenSCAD which uses a whonky scripting/programing language to build 3d models. You can do quite a bit in it, if know what you’re doing- and the neat part is that the files are text filesso they don’t take a lot of space.
Yup. though a lot of things are more effecient and easily understood with GUIs than command line interfaces. Imagine a volume slider. on the other hand there’s a lot of things that are much more convenient in a terminal window.
sure. you can use
amixer sset Master 50%
to set volume to 50%, but it’s faster and more intuitive to use the GUI for it.

You can ban the sale of super high power bulbs, though. all of the bright headlamps fail (even LEDs, eventually…) and they simply get replaced with compliant bulbs.


Do they rescue humans? I’ll work for room and board and promise to make not-too-much of a mess.


If you think about a square drawn on a paper, it’s 2 dimensional- you can measure the height and the width. But it’s still a square and it’s s on a piece of paper.
A cube is 3 dimensional- height, width and length. You can measure them and it takes up a volume of space.
But that cube is also experiencing changes, and stuff, and that is a fourth dimension we call “time”. We can measure it, too.
Our universe has 4 dimensions, not three. (It maybe has more, but that’s way beyond me. I’m sure someone here is far better able to explain spacetime than I.)
It’s not that we’re moving through space and time. We’re moving through spacetime. S Part of the reason is we can’t move through space without time because moving through space is change.


I think it means whoever said it doesn’t understand that it’s all one thing.
(Spacetime.)
Of course I don’t understand spacetime either, so……
