They used to say “it takes a village to raise a child” and that is exactly how it used to be. But “the village” as a social structure is rare these days.

Also, it is not the most fulfilling or rewarding if you have to always stay at home. You only have one life, you want to make the most of it. For most people that is not a stay-at-home-parent.

With karaoke you usually see the lyrics on a screen, but good song nonetheless

Sure, but who does all the chores, the taxes, the gardening, time with the kids, visit my parents, clean the attic, etc…

First time (and only time) I played, one of my group was determined to go to the hoard of monsters outside. The DM kept asking if he really wanted to do so, and he constantly said yes. Which prompted the DM to roll his little dice and make a note. That happensed about five turns, he even survived one or two turns in the middle of the hoard.

The DM kept hinting that the hoard was just a hoard and surely meant death. He kept pushing him toward the other side (I think it was a castle), but my friend was very stubborn.

It wasn’t a very long game, but it was fun. We should do that again some time.

Sounds like a fun challenge. Anyone got the link for this listing?

This is awesome. Code on paper, like they’re a bunch of neanderthals haha

Ouija would be a great name for a new ai model

Democracy might be the problem. You could put a threshold to vote in place, something to test that you know all the views from all the parties and the relevant topics. It’s a slippery slope though, because once you enable restrictions on voting, it’s hard to disable it again. If you accidentally get a Trump in power, he might just as easily restrict voting back to cis, white males only.

This guy’s articles are always so long. Too optimistic and too pessimistic are both bad. You should be realistic. AI is great, but it is just a tool. A socially and ethically loaded tool.

Excuser moi?

No it isn’t, because the way DNS work.

• you ask your dns server if it knows the adres for some website.
• if it doesn’t it’ll ask another node
• if it does, it will tell you.

So a dns server either knows the webadresses it serves, or it knows which way to point you for more info. This is a leveled arrangement, so there are some high level dns servers that basically divide the whole Internet in sections (11, if I members correctly). And they all have layers of subsidiaries, like a tree structure. The leaves of this tree know a few specific addresses, or else they send you up the tree and the node might send you down again, to a different leave.

If you would do this on block chain, you wouldn’t need the intermediate nodes anymore, but the leaves would contain all the information themselves. The leaves, in this case, would probably be a file on your computer and would basically contain the entire Internet. Anyways, the big problem with this isn’t size, but the linking. Blockchain only knows which nodes came before your node, not which nodes came after. Even if you did implement it like that, you’d have a massive list of nodes. Imagine you have an old ip address and you want to lookup a brand new website. You could possibly be sent through millions of nodes before you find what you’re looking for. The tree structure dns has now, cuts that down to maybe a dozen nodes, depending on what you’re looking for. You can actually how many nodes with traceroute, or online om dnschecker.org/online-traceroute

After corona I bought a threatmill for pennies. It was nice building up some stamina without anyone seeing me break my back over a half kilometer. At some point I was doing 3km fairly comfortably and than my threatmill broke. By this point I had enough confidence to go to the gym. Now I’m doing 6km twice a week.

Training at home was the best thing for me to start a routine.

Om a micro or meso level, there is still plenty of good to be found. Look there for your daily sanity check. If you only look at the macro level, you’ll just get more depressed.

How? By vibe coding it?

When I was 23 I was in the same position as OP is now. I decided to have a child with my wife and do some practical work and also learn some basic working skills and ethics while doing that. I started out in a factory, but hated it so much that I decided to go trucking, where it would just be me and my truck ( and my audiobooks).

I enjoyed that for a long while, but eventually I wanted to feel useful. I wanted to make something, to accomplish something, to be proud of myself. So I went back to school. Now I’m 35, finishing my bachelor in IT and also teaching a basic programming course at that same school.

Life is not just life, you can make mistakes and change your mind a few times. It’s not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. There’s a theory where it takes eleven years to master a skill, so between you 18th birthday and your 81st, you can master 7 skills. That means basically you could have 7 careers. There’s a xkcd about it (saw it around here somewhere), but I can’t find it

It’s not really a joke though, is it?

Me and my friends were trying to be edgy while playing WOWin highschool, so we all chose demon names. One of us had some kind of demonology book and we each picked a name. I’m 35 now and I still use that name. It’s funny how those stupid things sometimes stick around. The name lasted longer than the friends

That is so sad. I was just reconfigured my hone server with plex last weekend. Seems like it’s time to switch to jellyfin now. Luckily didn’t finish the configuration.
