There literally should just be a cap. Make it something ridiculous like “billionaires are not allowed to exist, so everything you earn past $999,999,999.99 is public property” and I don’t see any way how someone could disagree with this other than wanting to be a malicious parasite. That is more than enough money to buy a yacht for your yacht and is also an amount of money that cannot be legitimately obtained.

For me, it is. Maybe it’s confirmation bias tho, I don’t write a diary lol

But why is it that you always remember your appointment the day after? Why is your inner clock consistently off by one day?

At this point I’m sure it’s not even about control anymore, it’s just that privacy sometimes gets in the way of “line go up”.

Yes, Thanos snaps are multiplicative.

But I think we can establish that objects get eliminated in their entirety and not on an atomic scale, or else the snap should have killed way more than half of the people considering that about half their cells just committed sudoku.

Btw if it worked on an atomic scale:

We assume Thanos only wants to snap the gold that has use for humans. We mined around 210,000 tonnes of gold and known reserves of gold hold another roughly 80,000 tonnes. That makes 290,000 tonnes total. 290,000 tonnes of gold have around 8.87 * 10^32 gold atoms, so Thanos would need to snap on average log_2(8.87*10^32) + 2 = 112 times to eradicate all of that gold.

Note that the total amount of gold on Earth is much larger than that (unknown deposits, deeps in the crust, in the core), but that would get rid of the stuff we actually care about.

Yeah, Russian is quite a bit easier to romanize, so it should work even better. For cyrillic, you can just replace each character with the romanized variant, but this doesn’t work for Farsi because they usually leave out non-starting vowels, so if you did the same approach you’d get something unreadable lol

I use it to romanize Farsi song texts. I cannot read their script and chatGPT can. The downside is that you have to do it a few lines at a time or else it starts hallucinating like halfway through. There is no other tool that reliably does this, the one I used before from University of Tehran seems to have stopped working.

They are basing it on this article in which they monitor ProtonDB.

B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.

Talked to a guy recently that claimed ChatGPT has “an IQ of over 300”. Laughed hard, he got mad at me laughing.

Imagine thinking it’s a mental disorder when you are nice to people you like. Explains a lot about the world tho.

Are you working at returns in retail?

I was much smarter before having depression. The reason? I used to be interested in a lot of different things, reading about them, trying them out. Now it’s just like why bother, makes no difference anyway.

I am convinced that “intelligence” or “intellect” or however you want to brand it is just a measurement of interest in a topic, nothing else.

Here is the patent if someone is interested:

As a millenial, I never understood this. Back when we were having LAN parties, we always shared our porn, so I know what pretty much everyone I care about tosses their salad to and they do know what I get off on as well. I’m impervious to that sort of blackmail, it’s like a superpower.

My negativity and cynicism definitely increase with my recent online time, yeah.

No wonder the Scots wanted to secede from this mess.

It’s grammatically correct, so maybe just a little jab towards Winnie the Ping.

When was it decided that parents can do absolutely nothing wrong regarding their kids so that intrusive bullshit like this had to be introduced? Who in their right mind would upload their ID or face pic to some rando porn site to verify an age? It’s like Internet Security 101 to not do that ever.

I had a sour taste in my mouth when signing Stop Killing Games because it required my full legal name and address even tho I understand that they need to verify my eligibility to vote and I trust them way more than I trust a for-profit porn site. It’s just not something I usually do on principle.

You know who else curtails developer choice by setting arbitrary deadlines and pushing for aggressive monetization? Game publishers. Pretty sure the devs don’t want their game to be universally hated for lootboxes and bugs.
