Hell no. The essential difference between games and movies/television or books as a source of entertainment is that they’re participatory. The player’s choices during interaction affects the exact outcome.

That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with being entertained by others making those choices, but they won’t be yours.

That’s great news! Strengthening ties to other nations more interested in creation than destruction and stimulating R&D across borders are both very worthy aims.

Well, yes. But it’s hard to imagine being more efficient with space or energy consumption than that. Single Cell (Organic) Protein production from yeast (or fungus) isn’t a sci-fi concept taken from Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk took it from the real world. The general process has been known since 1781, although research into its use as animal feed was only kicked off by Max Delbrück much later. It was used by Germany during WWI to counteract food shortages, and later by many others, notably the Soviet Union for the same purpose.

Maybe shouldn’t have listened to BP’s “great” idea of using paraffin refined from oil as the feedstock though. Turns out - surprise! - that the residual alkanes are more than a little unhealthy.

So it takes ChatGPT 10 minutes to an hour of servertime and the energy equivalent of a tank of gas or two to complete a simple task the user could have done in thirty seconds using their 40W brainmeats and a couple of pudgy fingers. That’s just great. Good stuff, Altman. /s

0.9438Hz, i.e. 1*(2^(-100/1200)) IIRC.

Sounds to me like your body is giving your sound advice. Now throw in some sort of chilled drink based on coconut, pineapple and dark spiced rum. Your liver demands it.

Ah, common issue. When that happens, you just start using your toes.

This being the Internet, that’s definitely also a valid option.

Frankly, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of yeast oil, although I’m certainly glad that a more ecologically sound (and likely healthier) alternative to palm oil exists.

Not that I was eating anything with palm oil in it as it is, but I’ll be happy to try this ever I ever see it around.

It was nice knowing you guys.

Pah, mathematicians and their generally applicable pure approach to solutions and fancy modulus operations, who needs 'em? Computing is applied and we always work with well-defined finite precision. Granted, writing the boilerplate for all possible 64 bit integers is a bit laborious, but we’re programmers! That’s what code generation is for.

That’s a good point, even though I’m not a fan of how you chose to deliver it.

Kindergarten-level divide and conquer. I know that, you know that. Everybody knows that. Question is: Does Trump know that?

Right. The point is: No, unfortunately I’m not. Damn shame really, but what can you do?

At least he finally let go of the fake trophy that replaced the one he stole, so I guess it could have been worse.

No, I don’t remember any of those people, and I doubt they care about me either. While we’re on the subject, that is far from the only way in which I’m nothing like Ryan Gosling.

“What do you mean, ‘I quit!’?”

Incidentally, that also happens to be a highly accurate description of Trump’s testicles.

“Is someone close to him on the list?”

“Yes, much like you, it’s someone who’s very very close indeed.”

Well, yes. But that’d require fair, sensible distribution and use of available resources, and then how would we be able to support the ability of a handful of billionaires to subvert our democracies for their own gain? /s
