The price seems ok. There’s more to consider than price though. Do people dislike them because of the quality of their work?

Thanks for the tip. I might have to try that. It was working mostly fine one day (no VRR) and then it was completely broken the next. :(

VRR isn’t supported by default by most distros. Just because it works with your setup doesn’t mean it works for others.

Also, this event seems to be primarily focused on AMD/Mesa support.

Err… no it doesn’t. There are so many bug reports of neither HDR nor VRR working properly with the steam deck. My deck won’t even dock properly with my TV after recent updates.

It’s better than most other linuxes in the sense that it works sometimes I guess.

You’re certainly not the only software developer worried about this. Many people across many fields are losing sleep thinking that machine learning is coming for their jobs. Realistically automation is going to eliminate the need for a ton of labor in the coming decades and software is included in that.

However, I am quite skeptical that neural nets are going to be reading and writing meaningful code at large scales in the near future. If they did we would have much bigger fish to fry because that’s the type of thing that could very well lead to the singularity.

I think you should spend more time using AI programming tools. That would let you see how primitive they really are in their current state and learn how to leverage them for yourself. It’s reasonable to be concerned that employees will need to use these tools in the near future. That’s because these are new, useful tools and software developers are generally expected to use all tooling that improves their productivity.

Yes! Now I get to continue enjoying the fruits of unpaid labor. Even better I’ll be able to complain about every niche issue I have without ever contributing anything. Woohoo!

401k (employer sponsored) and IRA (individual account) are managed by investment companies. They’re not a state operated asset. It seems unlikely that the government would move it away from these investment companies because they’re probably great a lobbying.

The law states that these retirement accounts should be completely untouched and recoverable if the company goes bankrupt.

Historically the market returns have been around 7% annually over the long long term but that fluctuates a lot and might not even be possible into the future but America is good at pumping those numbers up so idk.

It seems more likely that the old Valve is dead. Making billions of dollars certainly changes things.

Why would they shut down gmod? It licenses the source engine and plays by all of their rules

Altering your perception of reality doesn’t need to be centered around escaping challenges.

You don’t remember gore in Fallout? There are meat bags, dismembered bodies hanging and spiked, limbs get blown/ripped off regularly, etc.

I enjoyed it up until the ending. Good experience overall though.

I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. It seems like what you’re saying doesn’t follow the conversation logically. I think that’s why the other commenter asked if you’re ok.

Does it? I love answering questions and I answered yours

The dates in the article confuse me because they say the fossils are related to the great oxidation event but it’s not clear how long after. Also, they make a relative date to another date that doesn’t seem to be provided.

Edit: Reading the linked source it’s clear that the fossil is dated to around 2.3-2.4 billion years ago. It does seriously suggest that complex multicellular life existed then. Very cool!

I knew a goth girl in high school who was into blood play. She wanted to be cut during sex. I don’t think she was otherwise into self-harm which is interesting.

All humans? No. There are plenty of people who couldn’t care less what you want to know.

Even if humans manage to kill off most life on Earth it will continue to exist, propagate, and become more complex. Again we’re talking about billions of years. There have been huge shifts in climate and mass extinctions many times before and yet here we are.

Interestingly, Sharks became a thing around the same time that massive fungi structures that looked like trees existed.

People forget that life on earth has been around for an extremely long time. We believe that single cellular life first appeared around 3.5 billion years ago. We also believe that the universe is around 13.8 billion years old. That means life has been around and evolving for around 25% of the time the universe has existed. Life operates on a scale far beyond our comprehension.

Another fun fact about life. We think that multicellular life only appeared around 600 million to 1.2 billion years ago. So life was probably single cellular for billions of years. The complexity of life has rapidly increased since then and will continue to do so.

Edit: new research suggests that complex multicellular life may have appeared around 2.4 billion years ago.
