This is amazing :)

Of course they do, better than ever actually. Google OpenType ligatures, for example. You can even use those on the web using CSS.

Some fonts have hundreds of different ligatures.

Both are broken as far as I know. First one hasn’t updated for years, and recent reviews for the second one claim it crashes on startup.

Are there any good iOS Tor browsers? All that I’ve seen are either shit or require some insane subscription.

It’s what should have been expected though. Lots of people check it out during the hype, and later only those who actually found it useful/interesting/fun remain.

Most of the hype-launched services should have similar numbers.

Likely? I feel like I’ve read several news stories confirming arms shipments from China here and there. Weren’t there?

I don’t understand how Chinese room is a valuable argument. To me, while the person inside the room doesn’t understand Chinese, the system room-person-instructions does. You don’t argue that you don’t understand your language because none of your individual neurons understand it.

I don’t claim that chatGPT “understands” the language, I just don’t think that this argument applies in general.

Idk, that’s more of a “not yet finished” thing rather than “failed” imo

Oh right, didn’t consider some may remain sealed, that’s cool.

Out of weird drinks, I’m betting on kykeon, an LSD-like psychedelic drink made from ergot-infected barley :)

Considering that it sank like 2000 years ago, would there be any detectable molecular traces left to figure out amphoras’ contents? Or would everything be destroyed by now?

Mostly because august hasn’t started yet.

Why do you feel like matrix has failed? I joined it recently and to me it looks like it’s kinda growing.

I agree that it should be a platform feature, just offering a suggestion how to evade some scrutiny for now. People seem to comment about it quite often, so it might be an ok temporary solution.

And, you know, it does look weird.

“I’ve been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution,” Sam Altman, Worldcoin’s cofounder

Holy crap it’s Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. After that recent article about his $2 Kenyan workers it’s much harder to believe in benevolent intentions.

You’re right, haven’t heard about that one. They actually do use superconducting magnets on a train that runs along a magnetic track.

But I feel like my feasibility comment still stands. It seems like all they had built is a 18km test track, and there’s some info about extending it to 48 km, but it doesn’t seem like the extended part uses superconducting tech yet, it only mentions regular maglev. The Tokyo — Osaka line is planned for 2037. So yeah, its technically possible, but it’s not like you can cover Europe or the US with this type of track for any sensible amount of money.

That’s the cool part about room temperature superconductors, they make this type of tech possible on much larger scales.

As a suggestion, I think it might be a good idea to space out the submissions by some amount of time, like half an hour or so. I’d guess the biggest gripe that people have is that it occupies a large chunk of the timeline simultaneously and it’s just weird to suddenly notice it. Here’s how it looks like for me.

What about them? Can you link to a published and verified piece of evidence that has been provided by them?

I have yet to see one. Can you link to something that can’t be explained by planes and balloons? Genuine question.

Edit: This person deleted their comments, so to clarify, it’s an answer to something along these lines: “You need evidence? Did you look at the post?”

I did. And there is exactly zero verifiable evidence. Are there any verified photos? Material or biological analyses? Spectrography graphs? For now, there is none.

At this point it’s still just “one dude heard that another dude says it’s totally true”. Once something goes public, we can discuss it. But for now, nothing can be seriously discussed, it’s all speculation.

Hell, I would love for it to be aliens. But up to this point in our collective history, it’s never aliens.

— UFOs are real and we’re shooting them down with energy weapons!
— I have yet to see any evidence supporting that. Plus, is has a lot of logical holes too.
— And what’s your evidence for that? Haha gottem

The burden of proof lies on the person making the original claim, not someone disbelieving it for lacking actual real-life evidence.
