It sounds like it was necessary for OP because their Gatorade consumption was too low.

As I understand from the other comments, it’s a place to put the dishes after they’ve been cleaned and ready for rinsing? The way I’ve always done it is I clean the largest vessel first, then everything goes into that vessel until it fills up, then do a round of rinsing. If I don’t have a large dirty vessel, I take out a large clean mixing bowl for this purpose.

I don’t think the Mona Lisa is a good comparison. When it comes to old paintings, there’s a lot of interesting stuff happening underneath the surface image that tell an interesting story. They can be analyzed to see all the mistakes that were corrected, or changes that were made to the painting. I believe it was also commonplace to reuse old canvases, so with the appropriate technology, you would in theory be able to look underneath and see everything that came before as well. So I can definitely see why that would be valuable.

Still don’t understand diamonds though.

I need the knife to cut food at my destination though

Anyone want to take a capsaicin pill for science?

It’s so weird to me that a diamond can possibly go for that much. I understand that this one was probably made a long time ago based on the way it was cut, but it’s not like we don’t have the means to create an exact replica of it. This thing is pure carbon. There aren’t even impurities to make it interesting.

I think what you’re observing is the interplay between two variables with opposing correlation with respect to wealth:

1. Having empathy
2. Ability to display empathy

Poorer people might have more empathy, but their ability to show it is inhibited because of lack of resources (time/energy/material) and lots of mental health issues that are a result of being poor. Wealthier people may have all the means to display empathy, but they’re less incentivized to do so. At some point in the middle, you get a sweet spot where there’s both sufficient desire and ability to do good.

Growing up, I didn’t like water either because I didn’t like the taste. No one around me could understand how I could dislike it because water supposedly tastes like nothing. BUT IT DOESN’T. WATER HAS FLAVOUR. Anyway, I later figured out that filtered tap water tastes a lot better than the bottled kind.

I believe the main cost is in hosting all the videos. A lot of them are probably junk that were never meant to see the light of day. I certainly use it as an extra backup for many of my videos with no context and random UUID titles.

For everything else, a potential solution is to have everyone come in with their own videos hosted elsewhere and the platform just integrated with a bunch of APIs for fetching and serving those videos. For small time creators, the cost should be fairly low to none since a lot of platforms allow you to store a small number of files for free.

To me that means an autonomous being that understands what it is.

A little thought experiment: How would you determine whether another human being understands what it is? What would that look like in a machine?

As far as I’m concerned, “intelligence” in the context of AI basically just means the ability to do things that we consider to be difficult. It’s both very hand-wavy and a constantly moving goalpost. So a hypothetical pacman ghost is intelligent before we’ve figured out how to do it. After it’s been figured out and implemented, it ceases to be intelligent but we continue to call it intelligent for historical reasons.

I can understand some negative sentiment in contexts where it’s used dismissively (e.g. “I’m [self-diagnosed] autistic and I don’t have this issue, so you’re obviously just a bad person”), or if you use it as an excuse to be a shitty person. Although I’d say that a professional diagnosis wouldn’t make any of these scenarios better.

In your case, you’re experiencing problems and you’re trying to solve them. A self diagnosis helps a lot in narrowing down what the causes could be and help you prioritize different potential solutions to try. It makes no sense to handicap yourself and try to fix things like a neurotypical person when you have good reason to believe you’re not.

Japanese has cute curvy symbols interleaved with some BIG scary symbols.

I think you’ll get a better answer to your question if you ask “what would an ideal world president look like?” The qualities that make for a good human leader should be the same as that which make a good AI leader.

It would suck extra hard to lie in bed planning out the nice breakfast you’re going to make for your partner and learn afterwards that they’ll never get to enjoy it.

The main reason is that they took away my preferred app, and the official app is excessively noisy (visually) to the point that I just can’t parse anything on the screen without huge effort. Doom scrolling is supposed to be brain off time, not brain work extra hard time.

The kid actually answered the question. The teacher’s expected response is basically “no, your question is wrong and I refuse to answer it.”

I didn’t expect my decisions to actually affect anything when I played it. Big surprise when I just clicked every dialogue option and things went poorly.

You can also load your save file into the second game and have that affect the story in minor ways, which I thought was pretty cool.

Legally, yes. But laws get broken all the time.

When someone starts complaining about what bathroom everyone is using, you can’t just ignore it and hope it goes away. It’s your job as their superior to address these issues.

Similarly,

Their gender/identity should have absolutely zero impact on the ability to do their job.

Making this stance clear requires talking about gender identity and politics.
