  • And even that becomes obsolete when something better emerges. What’s perceived as better depends on time and location.

  • Maybe in a hundred years. By the time this technology becomes viable, something else might have already made it obsolete.

  • Yeah, but that’s true until AI chip demand comes crashing down. Just a matter of time. AI startups can continue to funnel money to datacentres as long as investors have money. When banks decide to increase interest rates, the cascade begins.

  • This is just next level hostile design.

  • How about normal steel forks and such? They should be fine.

  • I guess it boils down to two options:

    1. Use the Steam controller and utilise workarounds to play games from other platforms. Is the controller that much nicer to justify the workarounds and the cost?
    2. Use a different controller that is compatible with everything. No janky solutions required, which is nice, but is the controller so much worse than the Steam controller that you feel like you’re missing out?
  • Those things can certainly happen, not going to deny that. So far, unfortunate events like that have been exceedingly rare, so I'll just assume that's also going to be true in the future.

    It's a risk I'm willing to take. Everyday convenience of using a phone for these things is more valuable to me.

  • Yeah, that really depends on which part of the world you’re in. When I travel, I absolutely need to keep my wallet with me, since nothing works without cash.

  • Years ago, I stopped carrying my wallet everywhere. A mobile phone handles payments, so what’s the point of a wallet and a stack of cards?

    A few cards can’t be digitised on my phone, so I simply tuck them into my jacket pocket. I don’t need them very often anyway, so keeping them all with me isn’t even necessary, but they’re very light, so it’s fine. I usually only have two or three cards in my jacket pocket, not the whole wallet.

    Technically, I also have a wallet, but that just contains all the ancient relics I need approximately once a year. So far, I’ve just kept it in my backpack. I wonder how soon would I notice if I just left it at home.

  • More like, skip all measurements and just wing it. The first two holes on the left look like they could work, but the other holes are a total mystery. Can’t really imagine what’s going on there except someone just winging it so hard.

  • Those are pretty interesting twists too. Just look up the etymology of “tea” and “chai”. It boils down to different trade routes and dialects.

  • Well that’s just the way American English works. Diphthongs are sprinkled everywhere. Pronouncing it as /aɪˈræn/ is just following the common practices.

    It would be funny if we started to pronounce America as /eɪˈmeɪr.ɪ.kə/. I think that would be a completely consistent way to say it. Lots of words get butchered the same way, so it’s only fair.

  • If your spouse is a troubled individual, that makes this a special case. Special precautions might be in order. Normal people don't need to worry about these things, because murdering your SO doesn't even occur to most people.

  • As far as I know, most insects rely heavily on chemical markers. That’s how ants communicate too. Dragonflies hunt by eyesight, but they are exceptional in so many ways.

    If you have sweaty hands, it should be able to identify you easily. If you’ve just washed your hands with soap, it could be harder. At least that’s my hypotheses for the time being.

    BTW how do you know you’ve been identified? Will it just run away from strangers?

  • 😂 yeah, dolphins are in a category of their own. They are intelligent enough to do some diabolical stuff. Rats are just smart enough to be adorable.

    Anyway, it’s nice that these insects are capable of recognising you. I wonder if they do it by smell.

  • Are they social and intelligent, like rats?

  • The moon is currently drifting away from the Earth. Eventually, that will make total eclipses impossible, so enjoy them while they last.

    Fast forward a few billion years, and the Sun begins to swell up, engulfing the closest planets. At some point, the atmosphere of the Sun could begin to cause drag on the Moon, slowing it down. If so, the Moon begins to crash down on Earth. Once it reaches the Roche limit, it gets shredded into kwazillion bits, and the Earth will have rings, just like Saturn.

  • The earliest trees evolved around 400 million years ago.

    The ancestors of bacteria were unicellular microorganisms that were the first forms of life to appear on Earth, about 4 billion years ago.[23] For about 3 billion years, most organisms were microscopic, and bacteria and archaea were the dominant forms of life.
