At any rate, if the AI's side in this conversation were a human, that would be an extremely intelligent human indeed.

But there's no way the thinking times would have been that short, of course.

It's hard to say because it depends on what you're looking at too, of course.

But doomscrolling seems to teach your brain to never pay attention to anything for more than a few seconds, while at the same time being more exhausting than watching TV.

So I'd say the TV is healthier.

But even then, it's still the phone, in my experience. It takes up so many hours but you also don't really rest, and it also tends to keep you up too long at night.

If you can replace five hours of doom scrolling with an hour of doing nothing in particular, an hour more of sleep, some time staring at a book page or soduku, some more work on chorse, you'll most likely gain an hour or so to use on something that takes mental energy.

There's a rope around the field, if the ball goes over it without hitting the ground (like a home run) it counts for 6. If if it did hit the ground it counts for 4.

They can run more than one (get to the other side, turn around, run back, etc) but the chance of the wicket you're running to being hit with the ball (so you're out) becomes larger so they usually manage 1, sometimes 2 or even 3. And both batters have to run the same amount.

If the number of runs is even, they end up on the same side as they started from.

No, that would make it even less likely that they obey the law.

Their legality is very questionable given all the likely copyright infringement going on, and a state can't really ignore that.

I interpreted as saying he knows a lot about different kinds of ideas / memories / things in the head.

Sometimes but I've never seen commenting counted as work.

Because you're doing it voluntarily.

You can only be in check or checkmate when it's your turn though.

Even if that fantasy was true in any way, the US can do enough damage to European digital systems to utterly cripple society on day 1.

And actual war, given the threats to Greenland.

But especially that Microsoft blocked the work email of the ICC lead prosecutor for political reasons, that has all alarm bells ringing.

Nice thing is we can render names in English however we want too!

That said, it also has all the self help faults. It repeats itself a lot, is full of happy anecdotes that repeat the same thing yet again, and could have fit in a chapter.

No, we're very resilient bastards, we're going to let the huge majority of species go extinct before we go ourselves. We're already in a mass extinction event and we're just getting started.

I don't think so, this was the first time it happened like that.

I had to replace my previous phone because my banking app dropped support for that Android version, and was going to stop working. The hardware was fine.

(I always buy phones in the cheapest tier, so that happens sooner)

But it's only possible for them to lead good lives when their parents basically dedicate the rest of their own lives to caring for them, I think?

The rook doesnt attack the king because N6 is in the way.

So black is not in check and has no legal moves, so stalemate.

The initial version of Git was written in two weeks, what do you need $17m for?

In general I think the sea warms slower than land, so you'd expect land everywhere to warm faster than the global average.

But don't they have both the encrypted data and the decryption keys? I don't remember giving them my keys to use, and I can look at my stuff from multiple devices so the keys aren't stored on my device.

So they must have the ability to look at all that encrypted data anyway?

Kyiv is pretty close to the Russian border to its north, even Moscow itself is less than 1000km away.

I think the furthest hits Ukraine has been able to achieve with drones were on a refinery about 1300km from Ukraine controlled land.

We know that chess can be solved, in theory. It absolutely isn't and probably will never be in practice. The necessary time and storage space doesn't exist.

Is that so different from brains?

Even if it is, this sounds like "this submarine doesn't actually swim" reasoning.

It's not hard. Tax the amount the stocks are valued at at january 1.

Make exceptions for investments in illiquid things.

Right now blue collar work can pay much better than white collar work (in the Netherlands).

Not all of course, but construction work and electrician type work, certainly.

The labour shortages in construction and the energy transformation are huge. And it can't be solved with immigration because there is no housing.

Nuclear takes like 15 years to build, it's being worked on but it won't be much more relevant soon.

Green energy isn't very useful for heating in winter.

I know this is an unfathomable concept, but to actually "leave fossil fuels [...] in the ground" you have to stop using fossil fuels.

Obviously not, as we're closing these fields and haven't stopped yet. Someone will have to stop using it, yes.

Decarbonising is indirect. Once it gets out of the ground, it will be turned into CO2 by someone, somewhere.
