Fork.

Jesus_666,

So it’s an average day for Miles.

Misters Chekov Do you want the Disney-owned, AI generated force ghost of Anton Yelchin to show up?

Beverly Crusher would.

40 yo you embracing the name again because you realized that agonizing over what random people think about a perfectly fine username isn’t worth your time.

(I could’ve made a picture here but I’m also not agonizing over what random people think about my laziness.)

Jesus_666,

That name was legitimately chosen in my mid-teens for a short-lived troll account. I wanted something that sounded controversial without actually making a statement.

Then I realized that my old username sucked and just stuck with it.

Jesus_666,

Remember: LLMs don’t give you answers. They generate text that looks like answers. Whether that text actually contains a valid answer is not the LLM’s problem.

Jesus_666,

I mean, Samsung tablets come with handwriting detection. I immediately turned it off of on mine because it expects since kind of cursive that I don’t use but it’s there.

I consider Palm’s Graffiti input system superior – sure, you had to learn the alphabet but every palmtop came with a cheat sheet and one you had it down it was pretty damn quick to write with.

Jesus_666,

DX1 runs fine with an alternative renderer (the Community Update should have everything you need to get going).

I could run Invisible War with few issues as well – but then I realized it’s Invisible War and played something else instead.

Jesus_666,

That’s Miles. His main job is to ensure that both the strongness and sweetness of correctly ordered raktajino are precisely double. In his spare time he ensures fair play at the dart board at Quark’s.

Jesus_666,

The last time Q put humanity on trial he accepted “I know Morn” as proof of culture.

The Prime Directive wouldn’t even apply. The Tau’ri have been properly FTL capable ever since they started producing the F-302 in what, the year 2000? As much as Starfleet would hate it, SG1 represents a humanity that is wearing the big boy pants just like they are.

Jesus_666,

Then again the SGC has a policy of sharing supplies and rendering humanitarian aid when they can afford to but not sharing military equipment unless they really think it’s for the better. Starfleet should give them at least some credit for that; it’s remarkably close to common Starfleet practice.

In the end, though, it really demonstrates how the Prime Directive is a flawed measuring stick and always has been. People like the Klingons (hyper-aggressive), the Ferengi (hyper-capitalists who bought their way into space), and the Cardassians (space Nazis) are cool but the Tau’ri are sketchy because they bring guns when they explore space.

I’m pretty sure O’Neill would be happy to comment on how Starfleet and their equipment sure look military from the outside even if they bring civilians on their combat-ready vessels equipped with weapons of mass destruction. And how his humanity didn’t nuke itself. Well, except those Genii guys but they don’t count. Different humanity.

By the time the Ori have been dealt with, the Tau’ri have been outright declared the worthy successors of two of the most advanced civilizations their galaxy had ever seen. And each of those civilizations had lasted for millions of years so it’s not like it’s power-hungry psychos giving each other pats on the back. That still doesn’t change Starfleet’s point about their cultural advancement but makes it that much harder to cleanly argue.

It’s like they were made to turn the usual Federation talking points into complicated messes.

(On the other hand they can only hope the Federation never hears about how many solar systems they managed to destroy, usually by accident. Now that’s a good reason not to trust them with advanced technology.)

Jesus_666,

I’m still unhappy about them initially locking content behind time-limited challenges. Didn’t buy the game early enough or just didn’t happen to play at the right time? No 256x tech mode for you!

It’s blatantly coercive design and even though it appears they’ve since unlocked the content for everyone I still have a negative opinion of the game because of it.

Jesus_666,

Mind you, other religions can sustain genocide as well. As can atheism. In the end it’s just plain old tribalism with a different coat of paint.

Jesus_666,

Iirc Basic was the first, non-scientist friendly programming language.

COBOL predates it, having first been introduced in 1959. BASIC came about in 1963.

Jesus_666,

People will put IoT into everything, no exceptions. Did you really think it would stop at thermostats and surveillance cameras?

Jesus_666,

Sci-Bi

The proper technical term is “bitrektual”, as established by renowned scholar Aurelio Voltaire.
