‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Season 5 To Debut With 2 Episodes On April 4
  • Reno is the best. I love Tig Notaro's dry-ass sarcasm.

  • The sea surface temperature is leaving the chart
  • Yeah, that sums it up pretty well.

  • The sea surface temperature is leaving the chart
  • It's nothing to do with maritime fuels

    The whole conversation is compelling but here's a direct refutation to your point by one of the coauthors of the 2022 Hansen research

  • California tech company films bizarre video pushing return-to-office plan — Internet Brands, an El Segundo-based tech company with subsidiaries like WebMD and CarsDirect
  • Carbon tax employers for miles commuted by employees, unless c-suite and board salaries are equal to the general population median salary for a 15 mile radius from the office location.

  • Not just another dot on the graph? There is some disquiet among people paying attention about just how extraordinary 2023 really was.
  • You should see all the graphs Leon Simons has been posting lately. He has an episode coming up on the Nate Hagens podcast soon I think. Should be pretty sobering.

  • ‘It’s a scary time’ as world shatters temperature record
  • We'll try on +2.0 this summer, just to give it a whirl. That shipping fuel sulfur was masking a lot

  • Where Did the Snow Go? “A visceral feeling of what climate change looks and feels like.”
  • I'd appreciate a link to the report about California if you can find it

  • What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?
  • It's been over a year since I unboxed it, but my Nintendo 64. Last game I played was Majora's Mask and it suffered a hard reset in the stone temple that made me box it back up.

  • What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?
  • I still have a Gen 1 Das Keyboard as well

  • [BotW] Having a hard time getting started.
  • To be fair, TOTK is profoundly harder than BOTW in early game. There's nothing wrong with you, it's just easy to break stuff and die until you're geared up.

  • Elon Musk on X antisemitism controversy: “Don’t advertise. Go f*** yourself”
  • It sure reads that way. Absolutely bizarre writing style

  • OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman is leaving, too
  • Capitalism is all about perverse incentives. It's unavoidable

  • low effort
  • My teenage son and I (who never watched the show as a kid) just finished season one. We laughed about how many times the dude has died and revived already. It's quite ridiculous.

  • Dont
  • Just this one picture gave me semantic satiety for the word don't

  • What makes your life well-lived?
  • This resonated so much with me. I am nearly 40 and have spent far too much of my life obligated to others and not setting healthy boundaries. And of course, now that I've realized that and started setting stronger boundaries with people about what they may and may not demand of me, there is anger and pushback that I am declaring sovereignty of my own time.

  • What red flag could be a green flag in the right context?
  • Lying and pretending to know something who's actually a complete stranger to them

    When the stranger is a drunk woman in distress clearly trying to get away from a predator.

  • Which task would be ideal for an LLM such as chatGPT?
  • Exactly.

    LLMs are ideally suited for replacing corporate middle managers everywhere.

  • World breaches key 1.5C warming mark for record number of days
  • And summers in Australia are brutal and can give you skin cancer

  • What are some physics-based arguments against hard determinism?

    I don't believe free will is real. I'm not a deep physics person (and relatively bad at math), but with my undergrad understanding of chemistry, classical mechanics, and electromagnetism, it seems most rational that we are creatures entirely controlled by our environments and what we ingest and inhale.

    I'm not deeply familiar with chaos theory, but at a high level understand it to be that there's just too many variables for us to model, with current technology, today. To me that screams "god of the gaps" fallacy and implies that eventually we WILL have sufficiently powerful systems to accurately model at that scale...and there goes chaos theory.

    So I'm asking you guys, fellow Lemmings, what are some arguments to causality / hard determinism, that are rooted entirely in physics and mechanics, that would give any credit to the idea that free will is real?

    Please leave philosophical and religious arguments at the door.

    Reformat widescreen desktop to look more like Reddit

    A good chunk of this was borrowed from another thread by @mershed_perderders@sh.itjust.works at https://sh.itjust.works/post/70273 but I've also added:

    • clickable comment headers
    • big friendly up/down vote buttons for posts
    • rearranged comment up/down vote buttons and More button to shift things to be more visually pleasing (to me anyway)

    YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content

    Because they don't get listed by browse.feddit.de you'll want to browse https://kbin.social/magazines to browse "magazines", which is what they call communities

    e.g. !RedditMigration@kbin.social

    or directly, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration

    Why YSK: Federation literally just synched up thanks to the tireless efforts by @ernest@kbin.social over the past few days.

    finance.yahoo.com Stocks pop after inflation data shows price increases cool: Stock market news today

    The May CPI report out Tuesday showed price increases continue to moderate, likely securing a pause in the Federal Reserve's rate hiking campaign that has pushed interest rates to the highest level since 2007.

    Honestly, the whole market feels grossly overbought right now. 🤔
