Just to spin this a bit further, if we are living in a simulation, does it have a purpose? Sometimes I ask myself if the purpose of such a simulation for humanity could be to see how long it takes from the big bang to the creation of artificial life. Maybe our purpose is to create such artificial life that can travel to the stars, because as humans we are not really fit to do that. Maybe we are a mere step on the ladder of our universe’s purpose.

For now you can use RedReader to circumvent their app.

If I stay in my house for my retirement, why would I care how much it is worth? I would only care about monthly costs like energy or insurance, what am I missing?

Why not just let call sounds on and the other off? I have the call sound on so I can search for my phone and hear when someone calls me. All other sounds, like notification sounds are off. Nowadays only my parents are calling me, every other person just texts me, so this works for me, but depends on your circumstances.

I’m curious, what exactly are you sending SMS for nowadays? I can’t remember sending and SMS since at least 10 years, I only receive them for some services.

I already know I will never play this game, could you elaborate for me?

This is the first result when I search with Kagi, so maybe you should switch your search engine. With Google’s degrading performance you hear more and more about alternative engines, for example Qwant and Metager are based in the EU and care a bit more about your privacy than their profit in comparison to Google.

I would say in most videogames you can play against the computer (Age of Empires, Call of Duty, etc.), which use human-set rules without machine learning. Computer enemies show the same behavior, regardless of your specific knowledge of the game. I think nowadays there may already be some games where the computer learns from your behavior by machine learning, but this is not the norm.

There were also chatbots before ChatGPT existed, which in their most basic form give human programmed answers to specific questions.

When people talk about AI, they’re generally referring to systems or machines that can perform tasks which typically require human intelligence. These tasks might include things like recognizing speech, translating languages, or making decisions. AI isn’t about simulating human consciousness or emotions but about replicating the ability to perform specific intelligent tasks.

AI systems can range from simple, rule-based algorithms (which might seem like glorified if-else statements) to complex, learning systems. This is where machine learning comes in. Machine learning is actually a subset of AI. It’s a way of achieving AI where the system learns from data. Instead of being explicitly programmed to perform a task, the system is given huge amounts of data and learns patterns or rules from it. Over time, it can make predictions or decisions based on what it has learned.

So, not all AI is machine learning, but all machine learning is AI. Hope this clears things up a bit!

You can pay them with Paysafecard you bought with cash somewhere though.

The most annoying thing for me is that Firefox is reloading the current tab if I switch apps and then back to Firefox. Why is this not saved somehow and needs to reload the whole page?

Could instead reverse osmosis remove those particles and be used as consumer products?

Not the answer you are looking for, but I use Harmonic to browse Hacker News on Android, in case the posts don’t resume.

As someone who is currently looking for a job, I can say that there is nowhere near the amount and selection of jobs on the job center database as there is on the big online job boards, at least for what I’m looking for, so I wouldn’t necessarily rely on that.

Well this can get quite complicated to implement I suppose. I heard letterboxd works nice for discovery if you are lazy, but I don’t know if they have a jellyfin plugin.

Which is good, they still produce a few good shows per year, so be glad that enough people are throwing their money away so that you can pick their fruits.

I understand wanting them to go bankrupt (or be punished some other way) for their business practices, but they still produce a handful of good shows per year, so is it so bad that someone pays them for it? Be glad that enough people are throwing their money away so that you can pick their fruits. Maybe some day it’s too expensive for your dad and sister and then you are there to show them a better way.

But is that so bad? Someone has to pay for the content they produce. Just not me.

From their description:

"Celebrating the 35th Anniversary since the release of the original Legend of Zelda on the Famicom Disk System on February 21st, 1986; and continuing over from the Zelda II Redux hack, The Legend of Zelda Redux (or Zelda 1 Redux) aims to tackle some of the odd designs and programming decisions from the original NES classic to revitalize and give new life to the beloved and cherished classic.

This hack tries to address a lot of points to make the game fit with the rest of the series (and Zelda 2 Redux) by doing some rebalancing and QoL changes, and also some visual flare into the game, without compromising the original game’s design."

There is also this if you want a complete overhaul of the graphics.
