If "reliable" means "the shitty people in the world can't scam you out of your share or ruin things for you," then you don't. You just need to keep being awesome regardless, and stay close to the other good people.

Because RCX is an engineer, if I try that he just tells me exactly how much it costs, and compares it to the cost of everday essentials like shower sex

Small consolation I know, but the music industry isn't special. Every industry has a bunch of people who are just thinking up ways to buy another yacht by screwing over the people who actually create value in the world.

I hope it's not the important stuff, because mostly Kirk barely glances at the padd before signing. It's probably the daily fuel consumption report. At least with the later shows, delivering the report is always a narrative device to get a character to have a conversation with the captain.

Or maybe it's just that everyone on the ship knows that Kirk never reads his email so if you need approval for something you should go shove it in his face. But if I were Kirk I wouldn't put up with so many interruptions.

Yes, approving people's reports will continue to be a duty. But if you imagine they got rid of email in order to be more people-centric, having everyone traipse across a 1km ship to physically hand in their reports, instead of doing it by computer, is huge commitment to that principle.

There's also the fact that they don't seem to have email. People are always writing reports, but they "send" the report by walking to the captain's ready room and handing them the padd. Kirk is always interrupting conversations to sign a padd some ensign is trying to give him.

What rly brings this home is when someone is solo-flying a shuttlecraft into combat and they just tell the computer "shields up, target their engines, evasive pattern delta, reroute warp plasma to the deflector" and the computer does it all. It doesn't have to be six people's jobs.

Thanks for the feedback! I love that song and I've played it so much now it's always a "comfort pick" in my set.

I was there with committee members from a different con, and they were envying your theming. You did a great job.

Were we? The article doesn't even mention the term "machine learning" and the comment that started this subthread was "The only value Iām currently seeing with AI is having the chat bot in my IDE so I can ask questions without going to a Google window," which sounds like more goalpost-moving.

Just because it's not based on transformers or CNNs doesn't mean it's not AI.

And how do you think the phone understood the words you were shouting at it? It phoned up Larry Page to get him to type it in for you?

Depends how much stuff, how often. A lot of games are transmitting relatively static state with JSON and loading big lua scripts from disk.

How would it work though? Do you need to make eye contact with the target like you're hypnotising them, or would you write in your Sleep Note that it would be handy if Trump could have a nap for four years, or what? Because if you have a stash of the right pills, you already have that superpower rn

Have a safe flight! Stay away from any red signals. And if you fly over any wind turbines, don't be looking down to work out if you can pick them up and take them back to your base.

OpenOffice is pretty much unmaintained and has multiple known security holes. All the contributors to OpenOffice switched to LibreOffice when Oracle started messing them around, years ago. You should use LibreOffice instead.

Bricklaying is way more complicated than printing concrete. A concrete printer is just a big syringe on a robot arm. A bricklaying machine needs the same tech for the mortar + sth to feed the bricks in the right orientations + switch between the two, and you still need a brickie to do the pointing
