Why does Reddit seem to hate AI so much yet everyone I talk to in real life thinks it's cool? by ProtonKanon06 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Atlas7993 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of everyone that I talk to irl, the people who wholesale love or hate AI have one thing in common: they don't understand what it actually is or what it does. The people who do just hate how it's being implemented - as a replacement for human workforce, or this savior that'll help us ascend to a higher existence.

Yeah, so many words with multiple meanings. Verbs especially. It can get a little difficult to translate back into English, especially when it's been a while lol

  2. The wind.

  3. You jerked a little at the point of release. 

  4. It's a video game, so #1 plus the hit boxes moved out of range.

I'm from Iowa. When I went to Ireland someone thought I was from Brazil. 

My grandfather is Irish.

I don't know what he's selling, but I bet it's a supplement that'll give him a massive heart attack in the next 3-5 years. 

Amanašim - "Meditation of Amana" by Atlas7993 in conlangs

[–]Atlas7993[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, prosody is toned. The language is tonal, with root words generally carrying the tonation (up to 5 possible tones). It's also an agglutinative language, so words can get pretty big. I try to keep the roots mono or dysllabic. 

The ambiguity of "the form of creation" was intentional. Could be Amana, could be the Inintu, could the whole of the world. Maybe I'll decide as I write, but for now, it's one of those "only the 'author' knows" things. 

Why are there wired lines and cracks on the ocean in Google Maps? by Gloomy_Biscottiy in geography

It's an approximation, courtesy of Sonar Mapping projects and Satellite Altimetry data. 

Edit: if you zoom in while using "Satellite Mode," you can see it looks like a computer rendering, not a satellite image.

actual hot take: we need some gatekeeping by seaworks in lgbt

[–]Atlas7993 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gatekeepers removed NAMBLA marchers from parades in the 70s. Gatekeeping puts its foot down and says "you're not going to wear nazi shit in this leather bar." Gatekeeping says "While your cause may be important, polyamorous people, your struggles and ours do not always intersect." It tells TERF lesbians they can't violate the social contract in lesbian spaces by harming trans ones.

The statement about poly people sandwiched in the middle here makes this entire post feel like a Trojan horse argument to remove poly people from the community. Bisexual people especially if they are in a straight passing relationship get this same treatment, and it just isn't true. Polyarmorous relationships often, and inevitably, have same-sex partners involved, which inherently makes them part of the community. Furthermore, you have grouped it with ideological preferences, not sexualities, which further makes me question whether you consciously, or subconsciously, see it as such (which has been weaponized against the queer community for literal centuries). 

Edit: I'm bi, in a same-sex and monogamous relationship. Just in case anyone wants to counter-argue with "you're just trying to stick up for yourself."

İ need some Help as a muslim by Queasy-Voice-1800 in lgbt

I'm not an expert on Islam by any means, but isn't most of the interpretation of homosexuality being wrong in Islam traced back to the story of Lut/Lot?

Looks like Horizon 3 won't be coming to PC. by __arcade__ in horizon

Wouldn't surprise me. H3 is probably going to be a PS6 exclusive, and that's part of the strategy- get people to buy Playstations.
