It's important to be clear what kind of actual system you're using when you say "AI".

If you're talking about something like ChatGPT, you're using an LLM, or "Large Language Model". Its goal is to produce something that reasonably looks like a human wrote it. It has reviewed a ridiculous amount of human text, and has a metric assload of weights associating the relationships between these words.

If the LLM sees your question and associates a particular compound with superconductors, it's because it's seen these things related in other writings (directly or indirectly) or at least sees the relationship as plausible.

It's important not to ascribe more intent behind what your seeing than exists. It can't understand what a superconductor is or how materials can achieve the state, it's just really good at relaying related words in a convincing manner

That's not to say it isn't cool or useful, or that ML(Machine Learning) can't be used to help find answers to these kinds of questions.

There seems to be a large amount of overlap between people who say things like "It's hubris to think that humans can change the atmosphere of the earth enough to make a noticeable difference in 400 years" and "we can make Mars inhabitable by humans in 50 years"

WASP - White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Think nuclear family, house in the suburbs, white picket fence, etc. You can imagine incel culture as an expression of WASP culture in decay.

Modern Christians wouldn't recognize him and would crucify him again

Go gentoo and get both!

Honestly I've seen at least 10 times as much content from people mad about the people mad about sync as I have from people mad about sync.

That's what happens to all the rice I cook too, but it takes a few hours.

That's pretty clever

Not with that attitude

I used option 1 (KeePass synced to Google Drive) for years. It's nice that you know you have control of your passwords at all times, and as long as you can access your cloud storage account and can download a KeePass app, you can get your passwords. It works reasonably well most of the time, but I was consistently running into edge cases that weren't as smooth as I'd have liked (mostly apps on Android)

I switched to vaultwarden (option 3), and immediately fell in love with things mostly just working. However, since I was hosting it out of my house, I had a bit of a disaster recovery problem. If i had say a fire, I could easily lose all copies of my vault, which would be... suboptimal.

After reviewing the options, I switched to straight bitwarden. I've been happy with the experience, and once I have disposable income, I plan to get pro long enough to have emergency contacts available so my family can still get important passwords in case of the worst.

All options have their pros and cons, but IMO password storage is something that deserves to be given proper consideration.

Didn't see anything in the article about steamer revenue. Did that get figured out?

What I have here is a bucket

Dear God...

Nothing about that scenario is unique to capitalism

Yeah, the DUNEg reveal got a bit of a chuckle out of me, and the rest was... Fine. At least it didn't actively undermine existing stories like the Kiff episode.

Often enough "saying no" falls under things they couldn't do

I'm sure it's also doable via your own vps, but I think most people are talking about managed systems like cloudflare tunnels https://www.makeuseof.com/use-cloudflare-tunnel-expose-local-servers-internet/

TIL: Feudalism is Capitalism, mercantilism, is capitalism, the Roman Empire had capitalism, and many Agrarian societies were capitalism.
