I guess “death panels” are fine if they are machines?

That stick is a fine line between order and chaos.

IIRC, I had a PC (since sold) that had secure boot permanently enabled from the factory. That is, in spirit, a PC with a “locked bootloader”, but you might not even notice because many Linux distros have that Microsoft-blessed Linux loading shim… but it is still Microsoft inserting themselves between you and your hardware; they could decide in the next few years they no longer “support” Linux, hypothetically.

Noticably? I imagine their skin imperfections would be twice as large… or maybe √2 as large?

Best “hack” I’ve heard is to NOT TRY to go to sleep. It is involuntary. It is not something you can will. The harder you try the further back it moves.

Instead, simply focus on creating an environment conducive to sleep (safe, warm, comfortable, etc.).

e.g. Try not to have an active going to bed ritual (such that a bunch of business abruptly ends with the expectation of sleep), but more of a “coming in for landing” ritual, where you need to do less and less until your mind decides it might as well sleep since there is nothing to do.

Less fluid intake? Then your body will take moisture from the poo.

Yes, I touch-type, and use a kinesis advantage keyboard that makes touch typing “almost unavoidable” (as one blogger wrote). I also use the Dvorak layout, and get nearly 100 wpm without really trying (and using low-effort brain-to-keyboard data transfer is the way to go, imho).

Create/build/make something.

Could you imagine an artifical mind actually trying to obey these? You can’t even get past #1 without being aware of the infinite number of things you could do cartesian-producted with all the consequential downstream effects of those actions until the end of time.

Does that qualify her as a technomage?

It means we are still in phase 2. We are not ready to open that door.

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).

There is always that vanishingly small chance this is a real person confused as to why nobody responds and their accounts keep getting banned. :-)

How I imagine textbooks look in the Idiocracy universe… which is slowly merging with our own.

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

I’m surprised they are not all 200%, didn’t the money supply double in that time period?

I read someone saying the bandwidth is costly.

Thanks! ;-)

So about saving that core dump… :)

How many 0 TB drives do i need to store this image?
