They are pretty good at summarisation. If I want to catch up with a long review thread on a patch series I’ve just started looking at I occasionally ask Gemini to outline the development so far and the remaining issues.

As to why this doesn’t happen on local scales: gravity has a tendency to hold nearby things together. And closer still, atomic forces.

For now. As I understand it eventually space will be so stretched out even atoms will degenerate.

I only know because that’s where I’ve reached with my Voyager watch through with my kids. It even got a “that was a good episode” praise from the eldest as well as an appreciation of how bad ass Janeway is 😀

I thought the episode was “Year of Hell, part two”?

What was wrong with working with Godot that made them want to fork?

If you have ever read the “thought” process on some of the reasoning models you can catch them going into loops of circular reasoning just slowly burning tokens. I’m not even sure this isn’t by design.

I’m on the fence about SFA. The third episode was quite funny but I get the feeling the trials and tribulations of horny zoomer students at Star Fleet 90210 might not be aimed at my demographic.

There are plenty of deep cut references to the lore though and production values are much higher than when I started watching Trek.

Evidently the whole population didn’t move left because he won his second term with a popular majority.

I can understand parties triangulate because the center are where most of the reliable voters are. As you go further out both left and right it gets harder to maintain an electoral c coalition.

The Oculus is too tied into being part of Meta’s data collection enterprise. I think VR will survive as a niche gamer feature and I suspect companies like Valve/Sony will be the ones iterating the designs.

Back in the days before streaming I had a large folder of Weird Al stuff including stuff that was mistagged because it was a funny song that sounded like it could be him.

It means I don’t subscribe to abolishing capitalism or unfettered libertarian free market at the solution to our problems. At the same time I think we can be more radical in reshaping public policy. For example in the UK context I would abolish NI and instead of banding taxes with it’s cliff edge effects apply a progressively incrementing tax rate so it becomes a simple percentage based on how much you earn.

Anyway this thread isn’t about my views so maybe we should save radical policy discussions for another post 😀

I believe the stated reason was to avoid the possibility of the court ruling against the UK owning the islands leading to the base needing to be shut down. The agreement with Mauritius includes a 99 year lease to secure the base at Diego Garcia.

I didn’t realise my choice of Lemmy server dictated my political views. I only chose it because I’m a FLOSS developer and joining the main development server meant I might be able to help in the future.

I’m not pro-nuke but I’m certainly pro deterrent when others have nukes. NATO has successfully kept the peace in Europe for 80 years. I’m certainly not far left - I would describe myself as a radical centrist.

So leave NATO, get rid of our nuclear deterrent and put up taxes without worrying if they will raise revenue?

There are definitely problems with the current arrangements but it seems his policy is to make us weaker and poorer.

I was confused because the gif isn’t from SFA, is it DISCO?

Real People’s front of Judeah energy in that party.

Now I’ve read the article it’s unnamed industry analysts and it’s written by an AI. For all I know the AI has hallucinated the number.

I assume microcontrollers. Most of those are invisible to consumers.

We are essentially a mongrel nation that’s been built with waves of migration to our shores. Our language is a testament to our diversity with it’s many loan words and other idiosyncratic traits.

A lot of peoples have had some sort of festival in the depths of winter around the time of the solstice.
