😂 I’m with you 100%. After I left my previous comment I had almost the exact same thought process. Why aren’t replicators producing more slop?? It doesn’t know what chicken soup tastes like. Chicken soup might be molecularly-speaking very similar to chicken shit soup.
I know we’re debating a fictional tool (I’m here for it) but I’m saying I don’t think it replicates “the process” it replicates the end result.
I just want to say I think you should post more discussion prompts while stoned bc I love threads like these
Replicators don’t simulate cooking though, they rearrange atoms. It’s an entirely different process and I have to imagine that translating between them is more of an art than a science.
Yeah, food is like music, it’s just not enough to hit the right notes and there is infinite variations even with the same notes in the same order. Food also uses TWO senses so it’s even more complicated.
It’s probably difficult to program something to arrange atoms just the way your grandma used to.
Commercial software can outrun open source temporarily but it rarely ever wins the race.
This is awesome!
I read it twice and it still doesn’t make sense
Excited for the official KDE Distro. I am a big fan of Fedora Kinoite but will probably give KDE a show once it is out of beta.
No Photogimp is not enough lol
Honestly? I would probably pay for a GIMP clone that has a photoshop-like UI and can be installed via flatpak. $70 is a little high but if it was $20 and received regular updates?
what is it
is tripwire Odo not deadly enough for you?
Nothing stopping you from making a post when you see a service on sale!
It seems to be implying that SoCs will soon become so fast and efficient that they will always outperform custom builds in every category including price.
There’s an argument to be made there (not saying I agree).
Yep he’s one of those culture warrior types. Honestly surprised he got Andy Weir on as I was under the impression he was relatively small potatoes in that space.
The way I see it, we have enough going on elsewhere in this timeline where I’m willing to settle on this compromise 😅
EDIT: Did not realize WHAT podcast he was on…
Seems he was exaggerating for a joke and basically saying that he was too dumb to grasp the political metaphors in Trek.
Crisis averted!
Honestly kinda what I was suspecting as well. Every time I see an “AI is advancing rapidly” take without actual examples of what it can do I wonder how much of it is a degree of psychosis.
Excellent points!
