Over time, it is. It’s eliminating the source. In Terminator, Matrix, and others they say that the AI took a split second to act, but our AI doesn’t have those connections. It’s working with what it’s got.

I don’t like extra dots simply because pattern matching might get weird down the road. Keep dots for extension type and use Pascal to make it easier to read multiple words. Flatcase only if it’s short or I’m lazy for a temp file.

Many root beers don’t have caffeine, or rather there are a few brands that introduce a small amount for taste or other reason. And there’s lots of variations in taste in those.

Still worth it, one of the best games, especially if you had a good joystick (Kraft). The amazing part about that game is how the movement “felt” fluid even though it was just a digital thing. I can’t describe it, but I think anyone who played it understands how it felt analog in its play, how you could jump and tap just so and do amazing moves.

Computer - Radar Rat Race on the C-64, bought it in cartridge when I got the computer just to have something to start with. Last cartridge game I bought too, the rest were either on tape, later floppy disk, or typed in from a computer magazine. On the latter, I think they were trying to develop a generation of programmers with those and intentionally put bugs in them to make them not work until you fixed them. Every one.

Arcade - that’s a harder one to remember, but I do know it/they would have been at a roller skating rink. Probably Asteroids as that would have gotten my attention first, or Turbo or Wizard of Wor.

Only if it changes laws of physics. Which I suppose could be in the realm of possibility, since none of us could outthink a ASI. I imagine three outcomes (assuming getting to ASI) - it determines that no, silly humans, the math says you’re too far gone. Or, yes, it can develop X and Y beyond our comprehension to change the state of reality and make things better in some or all ways. And lastly, it says it found the problem and solution, and the problem is the Earth is contaminated with humans that consume and pollute too much. And it is deploying the solution now.

I forgot the fourth, that I’ve seen in a few places (satirically, but could be true). The ASI analyses what we’ve done, tries to figure out what could be done to help, and then suicides itself out of frustration, anger, sadness, etc.

The idea of migration and data preservation has been a topic since day one, since that’s a big reason why so many moved to the Fediverse. I still haven’t seen a perfect solution, and maybe there isn’t one. Perhaps just having a lot of redundancy (oh no, reposts!) is the only true way of protecting posts for as long as possible, and even then…

Ernest started things rolling with something that probably wasn’t ready for the demand, but it was there when the time came. That others forked off from it and kept it going is the bright spot here. I appreciate Lemmy and even have an account from the first days, but I like the kbin/mbin setup better so that’s where I sit.

Mine claims about 25 mins to power down with a resting pull of 240 watts, 15 mins while using GPU for SD or AI stuff (400 watts). The key importance in my mind though isn’t the time to shut down, but how long term dirty power will cause failure in your components. I learned this the hard way back in the C-64 days where I went through 3 of them (Circuit City warranty covered them) before I got a very crude version of a UPS to stop killing the poor computer with ups and downs in power surges.

Then I’d opt for the better one, because you don’t see all brownouts, only the ones that are long enough to affect lights and more sensitive devices. I have one touch light that would go out when everything else would be fine. So you most likely have very “dirty” power, at least in the room you see this going on.

I’ll also add that since putting my UPSs in, occasionally I’ll have them click. It’s not registering as anything on the software monitor, nothing I can see via lights, but I’m sure it’s breaker or whatever they use to step in and keep things clean.

Mainly just depends on how sensitive you think your equipment may be to the variations, and of course how often you think you’re getting brownouts. Plus a bit more features. For $170 that seems to be a great deal.

I can’t figure out why that one is more expensive, the 1500 seems to me the better one at minimum because of more outlets, more output, and it puts out a true sine wave power. I just got a comparable model at Best Buy for about the same price. (Also got a smaller backup to put the modem/router on). Either way, Cyberpower looks to be the best manufacturer to go with, APC has a lot of negative reviews compared to them. I used to have a APC long ago that did fine, but that was then.

Seems okay.

If it looks to potentially reduce Republican votes, then Republicans will just compensate by more effort trying to restrict certain demographics and areas from getting their vote in. They never have been supportive of everyone getting a chance to vote, it skews things towards the left. Anyone still remember when Karl Rove lost his mind on live TV because he knew what the numbers should have been had everything gone to plan, and liberals getting more votes was inconceivable to him.

Same here. When I stop at a stop sign and there is a car behind me, I routinely take bets in my head to see if the next car just goes through it. Most often they do. Running red lights is another…if you are at a red light waiting for it to change to green, always wait a split second before going and also give a glance both ways. Don’t assume because the light is good there isn’t someone trying to beat the red. Or just going through an obvious red because they’re more important than everyone else in their head. I’ve gone through many a yellow light thinking to myself that I really cut it close, then I notice one or even more people have followed me through the intersection. Boy they get upset too if you actually stop for that yellow.

Regulatory measures shouldn’t be relaxed because people aren’t following them, they should be enforced better. Of course how to do that in many situations such as this is the question. Other things are similar, like group speeding or smart phone use while driving.

A fleet/company car. A Chevette. I pressed the accelerator to the floor, the engine went “huh? you want what?”
