Having a safe passing-lane does not sound that bad to me.

I recall a carnival-type installation, were a whole house was built at an angle, and at the end of it they had a water spigot they turned on, and the water flowed “uphill” (to the human eye).

Of course! If not at the time of use, then via taxes coming out of their paycheck… but usually both.

I imagine it has to do with binocular vision. If each eye sees roughly a circle, overlapping roughly makes a landscape rectangle. So perhaps that aspect ratio and orientation just “feels” better?

Salsa chicken. It’s chicken, a bit of taco seasoning, then salsa. Cooked for 4 hours on high.

They’d probably be confused as to why it needs charging. “I don’t charge my doorbell, so why the manual process? Is running copper wire prohibitively expensive in the future?”

Maybe run a bandwidth speed test, and enable/set qos to 95% of that value… I found that’s an easy way to kill the buffer bloat (way better latency).

I always leave the Brocolli alone. :-)

I imagine they prefer to be grounded in reality, as over-use of the holodeck is shameful.

I can’t tell if this is satire.

“consumer confidence” = feelings = not-reality

… checks out.

I realized that every time I composed a post, i was less thinking about what i have to say to my friends, and more thinking about things like “what censor will see this”, or “will this get me banned”, or any other number of unfun and agency-draining things.

You wouldn’t download… a BRAIN!!!

Kinda cool how much auto-correct and noise filters can do… kinda uncool to use the same as leverage against humanity.

Knowing how it works is so much better than guessing around OpenAI’s censoring-out-the-censorship approach. I wonder if these kind of things can be teased out, enumerated, and then run as a specialization pass to nullify.

Individually, yes. Thousands of cows, thousands of "dancing"s, thousands of roombas, and thousands of "on the moon"s.

They do that because you are not the customer, your employer is.

So digital bagpipes are somehow better?
