You should do that anyways. Bed frames exost for a reason: it helps to stop moisture building up on the underside of the mattress, and thus prevents mold.

Possibilities are all possible outcomes of a certain scenario. With the example of a coin toss, it’s heads or tails. However, these are dependent on your definition of what you want to observe. For example, at a dice roll, you could define the possibilities as:

• any number less than 5 is rolled
• a 5 is rolled
• a 6 is rolled

Probabilities are attached to possibilities. They define how likely an outcome is. For example, in an ideal coin toss heads and tails have a probabilitiy of 0.5 (or 50%) each.

With my 2nd example, the probabilities would be:

• any number less than 5 is rolled: 4/6 (or 2/3 or 0.666… or 66.666…%)
• a 5 is rolled (1/6 or 0.1666… or 16.666…%)
• a 6 is rolled (1/6 or 0.1666… or 16.666…%)

All probabilities must add up to 1.0 (or 100%), otherwise your possibilities overlap, which is generally not something you want.

Plausibility is a bit more tricky, as it also depends on your definition, namely a cutoff point. You could see the cutoff point as a limit of how much you want to risk. I’ll only examine the example for the coin toss for that. Say you will toss a coin 100 times. This would mean there are 2¹⁰⁰ possibilities, but we will examine only 2 for this matter:

• you will get 100 times tails
• you will get as many tails as heads

Let’s say the cutoff point is 0.01, i.e. 1%. This would make the first possibility improbable, as 1/(2¹⁰⁰) is far lower than 0.01. The second possibility is 0.5, which is greater than 0.01, and therefore probable.

Sphinx cats are also notorious for skin conditions, making them high maintenance in terms of vet visits, sadly.

But yeah, it would be cool to meet one in person.

But do you also sometimes leave out AI for steps the AI often does for you, like the conceptualisation or the implementation? Would it be possible for you to do these steps as efficiently as before the use of AI? Would you be able to spot the mistakes the AI makes in these steps, even months or years along those lines?

The main issue I have with AI being used in tasks is that it deprives you from using logic by applying it to real life scenarios, the thing we excel at. It would be better to use AI in the opposite direction you are currently use it as: develop methods to view the works critically. After all, if there is one thing a lot of people are bad at, it’s thorough critical thinking. We just suck at knowing of all edge cases and how we test for them.

Let the AI come up with unit tests, let it be the one that questions your work, in order to get a better perspective on it.

How do you play the missions? Generally I usually have almost enough for the next warbond after I maxed out the last one. I did hear that this struggle usually happens when people don’t look for POIs, which also results in resources always being rather slow to accumulate.

Overall, the game encourages to not beeline for primary objectives and rather plan out a route, especially for side objectives, as they can often be further away. It does help a lot that crashed resource drops (or what they are called) have a beacon that flashes higher the further away you are from them.

I mean, Theranos was less classic ethical nightmare as it was just a grift, separating suckers from their money. A possible more fitting example in the same vein would be Roger Wakefield’s “studies” on how the MMR vaccines cause autism., where actual children got harmed and spurred on the antivax movement.

Honestly, that’s news to me. Mind linking it? Might be interesting to read about it.

Funnily enough, the Stanford Prison experiment was pretty much just an act, with both parties encouraged to act the way they did. It’s been discredited nowadays.

A better analogy would be the Milgram experiment(s). Often repeated, breaking certain ethical rules (e.g. not telling your test subjects the whole truth about the experiment), with the result of some test subjects taking their own life from the sheer realisation of what they did, and yet the experiment still stands uncontested in its results.

I think it can be both. However they are no justification as to why one should buy and like a game they clearly won’t like for various reasons. Even more, trying to “fix” a game can alter the game’s impact on the player. There’s a reason why roguelikes/roguelites are so hard, and taking away the difficulty will lessen the experience. That’s why most people also, for example, won’t use cheating tools for their single player games apart from screwing around.

Honestly, I think that this was a horrid read. It felt so unfocused, shallow and at times contradictory.

For example, at the top it talked about how software implementation has the highest adoption rate while code review/acceptance has the lowest, yet it never really talks about why that is apart from some shallow arguments (which I will come back later), or how to integrate AI more there.

And it never reached any depth, as any topic only gets grazed shortly before moving to the next, to the point where the pitfalls of overuse of AI (tech debt, security issues, etc.) are mentioned, twice, with no apparent acknowledgement of its former mention, and never mentioned how these issues get created nor show any examples.

And what I think is the funniest contradiction is that from the start, including the title, the article pushes for speed, yet near the end of the article, it discourages this thinking, saying that pushing dev teams for faster development will lead to corner cutting, and that for a better AI adoption one shouldn’t focus on development speed. Make up your damn mind before writing the article!

I haven’t watched the video yet, but I think TADC has unwillingly joined the “kids” content mill, which is probably what might be referenced.

Even Gooseworx dislikes how those content mill channels have abused TADC’s popularity for their own profit while neither she nor Glitch can do much about it.

Funnily enough, Signal gas circumvented the issue by marking their chat window as DRM content, making it invisible to Recall.

I do like the hooks on Display Port, honestly. There were quite a few times where HDMI cables came loose while adjusting my screen due to the cable being tied together with other cables for organisational purposes. Putting it back in always a chore then.

I don’t think it is even much of a hassle when unplugging it from a machine, such as a PC. I do agree it’s a pain for monitors however, as the ports usually are in a more indented position.

Quick question about the overwrite passes: is it overwritten with random numbers or is there a sequence of passes?

Is there a benefit from this over the inbuilt Secure Erase functionality in most SSDs/NVMEs? To my knowledge, it instantly dumps the current from all cells, emptying the data on it.

Furthermore, another issue with SSDs/NVMEs is that it automatically excludes bad blocks, meaning that classic read/write operations can’t even reach those blocks anyways. Theoretically that feature could also be used against you to preserve the data on the disk by marking all blocks as bad, rendering them as inaccessible by the file system.

Of course there’s also the issue of Secure Erase not being implemented properly in some drives, leading to the bad blocks not being touched by the hardware chip during that procedure.

It’s pleasantly surprising to see it getting mentioned it at all. Loved the servers when they were Omegle chatoorms, and it’s a bit sad to see it sort of die out with the death of Omegle. But yeah, the people there are generally nice.

Also, since I mentioned Omegle: I do not recommend any Omegle clones, as they often have an account system in place, which sort of ruins the whole anonymity stuff and also leaves to some stigma to those who do not want to use the account system. Not to mention that these sites generally attracts horny creeps, and finding a good chat partner is thusly hard.

Fun fact about Ayn Rand: BioShock was partly inspired by her philosophy, or rather how disastrous it would be.

Another fun fact about her: at the end of her life, she got financial aid from the government under a fake name.

First of all, when learning about helping those with suicidal thoughts, one of the first thngs you learn is that trying to tell them that their departure will hurt those around you will drive them even more into suicide due to the added pressure.

Secondly, by not hearing someone fully out, all you do is cementing yours and the other’s opinions. If you really want to change things, listen to the other and try to reason with the other on why their reasoning is faulty.

I do apologize if my post was a bit emotionally loaded, since it is a topic that hits very close to home, as someone with a past of suicidal thoughts. And I know how much it hurts to lose someone. Yes one has to remember that someone suffering from depression does not think sane. The main thing one should always do is make the other feel heard, because they will think that no one does. Show them that they are not alone against their own thoughts, because they will think they are. Signal to them that you are an ally for them, as they will think everyone is a threat.

I disagree and cannot condone this statement, as it inevitably harms those you are trying to save. It denies them of their feelings in favor or preserving the status quo, which brought them to that situation in the first place. It is selfish at best and manipulative cult-like behaviour at worst.

Suicide has been labeled wrong because it harms the society the individual lives in. The surrounding community will lose one contributing member and gain only pain from the loss.

However one has no right to decide over the lives of others, and there are fates worse than a quick death. If you want to help, accept that people have those thoughts, because they are natural, as we can only bear torment for a certain amount of time. Don’t punish them for wanting to have peace, help them to get peace in some other way, if possible.

Suicide is bad, but not wrong. What is wrong is not helping others who are hurting in any way one can.

Generally during the mounting process, which is pretty early on at the OS boot process.
