How big does a wave have to be for a ship of that size to even notice it as anything other than a weight shift?

Some say they are still stuck inspecting those ceiling beams to this very day. It would be the safest pool in the region if it weren’t for the giant lift on a raft stuck in it.

If it’s maintenance they have to do regularly, there might even be a part of the pool tooled for it with arms for the floating block to sit on while they drive the lift on and off normally. Or a ramp with rollers where it gets launched like a boat and a winch to pull it back up the ramp to get out. That last one is my guess, since that whole setup could be portable as long as they had somewhere to anchor the ramp and winch.

Don’t mind him, he’s just joking.

Wtf half of me!? Are you implying that I have a split personality disorder??

They want something like the Star Trek computer or one of Tony Stark’s AIs that were basically deus ex machinas for solving some hard problem behind the scenes. Then it can say “model solved” or they can show a test simulation where the ship doesn’t explode (or sometimes a test where it only has an 85% chance of exploding when it used to be 100%, at which point human intuition comes in and saves the day by suddenly being better than the AI again and threads that 15% needle or maybe abducts the captain to go have lizard babies with).

AIs that are smarter than us but for some reason don’t replace or even really join us (Vision being an exception to the 2nd, and Ultron trying to be an exception to the 1st).

Is there a good argument for why any society not in collapse should submit to any “higher” authority?

Which is kinda funny because they could save money by automating texting for some of the shit they have people call for.

Though on the other hand, if it’s a legitimate business, you can stop the call spam easier, at least in places with enforced do not call lists.

I’d still have to because the new voice mail notification won’t go away until you at least pop in and delete it or listen.

Only watched half of the video (because it’s something I’m well aware of), so it might have gone into it, but another angle is that there’s often villains that make good points and then suddenly take it in a batshit direction.

Like Thanos had a point but apparently never understood exponential growth and how reducing all life by any constant factor is just delaying the same result, even if his snap made 99% of people disappear (unless he snaps enough people that the population collapses entirely, which is what he wanted to avoid).

There’s many other examples where reasonable starting points end up in unquestionably evil conclusions. Pretty sure it’s just propaganda to make people who don’t think much about things link those reasonable beginnings with “evil” in their minds.

Also there’s characters like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark who are billionaires but their stories always ignore the realities of what must be done in order to become a billionaire (ie underpay staff doing the actual work by billions). In Stark’s case, they sidestep that by giving him super advanced AIs and automation robots, though he’s still the owner of a large corporation, that he still benefits from despite offloading any of the responsibility of even running it to everyone else.

I was thinking in a different direction, that LLMs probably won’t be the pinnacle of AI, considering they aren’t really intelligent.

There’s a name for that: Madonna-whore complex. Might help find resources to help deal with that. Best of luck; it sounds like a hellish experience.

I think it means he’s not really that into her but just gets horny for her.

My ex had an early grade school teacher hit the left handedness out of her with a ruler. Sometime around the year 2000.

Last year, my daughter missed lunch a few times because her teacher insisted on finishing the work before eating so she could say she never assigns homework. Luckily a meeting with the principal ended that quick, once we found out about it (poor kid thought she’d get in more trouble if we found out). Daughter did best when the old bag was replaced with a sub for a couple months while she dealt with some medical issue, since the sub actually cared. She’s got a great teacher this year and is thriving when she was previously struggling.

I thought he was a dentist with a hitman friend.

That one is particularly rage inducing if it’s the one I’m thinking of (I think ep 1 of the new season?).

Some of the others in the new season aren’t so depressing or rage inducing, though.
