If you are assuming we live in a simulation, then you have to assume everything else about it too - there is no evidence to point in any direction about anything higher than our own layer, so ours is the only one we can do science on. All else would be imagination, so make up whatever you like.

I do agree though that a simulator can’t fully simulate itself, so yeah, it would have to be bigger and more complex in at least some way, which could simply be runtime.

You’re right, that call was ridiculous. Everyone knows he doesn’t talk.

I’m surprised it got the right picture (and spelling) for Argon - which is in fact used in incandescent bulbs to reduce the filament’s evaporation. Got a few obvious ones correct also. (Love the Hindenburg)

Meanwhile Selenium… How Ironic.

That’s still overstating it. They included a journalist in a group chat about war plans.

Yeah. The important and encouraging part is that 70% drop of a 41% drop, while other electric cars are gaining.

I meant in the sense of could possibly, but I don’t have a guess on how likely.

I am extrapolating on the stability thing just based on the language it’s coded in, which isn’t any kind of guarantee, but I think it is a good sign

I think you’re absolutely right at the high-end, but if I have a cheaper or older machine (especially laptop) and I’m not going to play AAA games on it anyway, this driver could eventually lead to decent performance with even greater stability than the proprietary ones.

I don’t think an open source driver will ever fully catch up to the proprietary ones in this case, but for people who want to use only open drivers if it eventually gets somewhat close that might be enough.

Sounds promising

The only things I can come up with so far are birthdays, holidays, vacations, etc. Nothing actually specific to 2025.

I guess I’m looking forward to eventually buying a new laptop, but that’s not really year specific either.

So I guess my answer is it ending. Same for the next 3 after it.

I really wish I had a feasible way out.

I see the sentiment that money should be abolished here all the time, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen a proposed replacement. It’s an interesting idea.

That is a controversial opinion here.

(And I agree with it. I don’t know what the way is, but I hope it can be found)

Exactly.

I think around 48 hours.

High school LAN parties.

Parrots can be extremely intelligent, but are still dinosaurs.

Naaa.

Na na na na na na na, na naa naa na na na

I started taking lessons about a year ago. I’m glad I have. At least I feel like I might have a chance if something happens and I end up in deeper water than I can just stand in.

I’m sure this is probably a terrible humanitarian crisis (though I didn’t see if it was in the article)

…but without the term being defined at all until paragraph 4 and even there just barely, it’s tempting to assume that these rebels are from an open cluster of stars in the northwest of the southern constellation of Sagittarius discovered by Charles Messier in 1764

Yes, the speed of sound in an object is how fast neighboring atoms can react to each other, and not only is that information (therefore limited to C already) but specifically it’s the electric field caused by the electrons that keep atoms certain distances from each other and push each other around. And changes in the electric/magnetic fields are famously carried by photons (light) specifically - so even in bulk those changes move at the speed of light at most
