Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the Most Popular Examples of Psionics in Sci-Fi?
1·8 days agoIf you speak/read Portuguese, French, Japanese, Dutch or Czech, you can read a lot further than in English. But yeah, original language is German.
I prefer to read the Silberbände over the novellas tho.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the Most Popular Examples of Psionics in Sci-Fi?
3·9 days agoThe sci-fi book series “Perry Rhodan” features a lot of humans and other beings with all kind psionic powers.
Telepathy, telekinesis, invisibility, teleportation, fire, ice, atomic restructuring, the list is really really long.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Today, the United Nations voted to adopt a new world map that reflects countries’ true relative sizes
1·13 days agoDidn’t think so, I just didn’t knew the reason. Therefore I asked.
Now I’m annoyed that I got downvoted for asking at all. What’s the moral there? Don’t ask questions?

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Today, the United Nations voted to adopt a new world map that reflects countries’ true relative sizes
7·13 days agoThanks a lot for the explanation. I had no idea, but now with that knowledge it’s quite obvious why and how it works with that kind of map.

28·13 days agoHow does an inaccurate map work in favor of long distance navigation? Genuinely curious because I fail to see any benefit.
The only advantage I see is you can read all the small countries on the map, which you may not be able to on more realistic maps.
Please read the comment chain again if you think I used the term first, lol. u/sunsofold used it, you used it, and only then I entered the discussion.
Use “safe lane change” then, maybe? Instead of making up scenarios afterwards, where invasive equals safe.
But I feel you have a problem admitting mistakes in general, not just when it comes to traffic.
If you think I don’t drive, I think you shouldn’t drive.
You used the word invasive lane change.
“Sorry I endangered your life, but I cannot be bothered to reroute for a minute.”
Yes mistakes happen, but the healthier solution is for people to accept the consequences of their actions. Your view is a manifest to the egocentric society we decry every so often.
If someone crashs into you doing an invasive lane change (or any other mistake correction) I hope you’re thankful for them not adding to the world’s wasted hours.
What the fuck man.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think UBI will be the future of the world?
2·23 days agoYes. Look for Elysium (2016). It’s by Neill Blomkamp, starring Matt Damon.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think UBI will be the future of the world?
5·25 days agoYes, but not in the way we envision it.
Wealth inequality will increase. Drastically. There will be a small group of people owning basically everything. But they still need cheap labor and subjects, plus someone needs to consume their products. Because jobs will be limited UBI will be implemented: as a baseline to keep us alive, not as a tool for general prosperity.
Watch “Elysium” how this bleak world may look. It’s not a great movie, but has that “everyone but a few people is super fucked”-theme locked down.

171·3 months agoIf it’s in the code, it’s a bug. If it’s not used, then remove it entirely. Everything in the code should be treated as operational.

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic (Sorta) Calls for Pause on AI Development. You Should (Sorta) Take It SeriouslyEnglish
91·3 months agoThey understand the theories and underlying principles, but the sheer amount of data makes it impossible to actually verify it.
An ELI5 comparison would be a hill of stones: you know when you throw more stones onto it, a “landslide” will occur and rearrange the hill. For a very small hill of 10 stones you may even be able to know input and output (“if I throw a stone there, the stones will be like this after the landslide”). But you cannot predict the same for a hill of 1000000 stones, even tho the “rules” are the same. You know what will happen, but you have no way to predict the outcome, or verify that everything went as expected.
The theory / math is not the problem. The scale is.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve antitrust lawsuit reportedly reveals lengths Steam owner is willing to go to prevent cheaper prices elsewhereEnglish
204·4 months agoIf valve loses this, they will clamp down on their features.
Because why would they provide infrastructure for free when the developer sells keys for less somewhere else?
If you expect them to provide storefront, infrastructure and community integration for free, I don’t think they will.


Something should also tell you that there’s a direct incentive for companies to make it as easy as possible to spend money on their services.
