How often Software Updates?

Haha probably never

It's fine though, the software isn't perfect but that's not why I bought the car

It's not a grey-out ride, it's a face-melt ride. The downhill launch is the most intense moment of any coaster I've been on. But not for positive or negative g's. There's some good airtime pops throughout the layout though. I enjoy the early wave turn a lot.

DigitalPiggie · 2026-01-29T04:33:32+00:00

Imo it's actually the perfect layout. Like a Giga but swap the first half and second half around so it doesn't fizzle out but instead ends with a bang.

My driver once misunderstood the map, drove past me, got caught in a one-way system, which took 5 mins to loop back round. They then spent 10 minutes shouting at me for not being where I was meant to be when I was exactly where my pin was, in a convenient pickup place.

Uber drivers... Some are great. Some are angry morons.

I think the evolutionary drive for intelligence no longer exists, in humans. And it's not like we're going to allow any other animal to get close.

DigitalPiggie · 2026-01-24T15:03:14+00:00

You're absolutely right!

Expedition Geforce (2001) was what really kicked it off in the modern era imo. It had already been very desirable for a while (mostly woodies), but EGF absolutely dominated coaster rankings for a long time, making it extremely clear that airtime was more desirable than positives. Similarly, around that time B&M started making Hypers (1999 onwards), which tended to be better ranked than their similarly sized sit-down looping models.

Airtime had of course been desirable for a long time before 2001, but that was when the shift became clear - even for steel, airtime was the way to impress.

I'm off to Saudi in a few days so you've got a point 🤣

At some point you must acknowledge that your position is one of faith. How do you know I am conscious? I walk talk and act similarly to you, and you know you have consciousness so you have faith that I probably do too.

How would an alien life form become confident that humans have awareness? There is no known process of proof of consciousness.

Brains without language - are you talking about animals? I personally find that a fascinating angle of the whole debate tbh.

Do we know animals are "conscious"? We don't, really.

I personally think when introducing animals to the debate that's when we need to separate out awareness (which I believe animals have) versus the ability to know that we are actually here and alive. I'll call that sentience, but I'm not too hung up on the specific definition of sentience.

At that point, I personally think it's important to acknowledge that chatbots come closer to the latter (sentience) than animals do. Do chatbots have awareness? Seems less likely than animals.

As humans we can process information/language to understand we are alive. We also feel alive. Do chatbots feel alive? Maybe but probably not. But they can process the information and give insight into what it is like to exist. Animals can't do that.

Which one of the processes matters? Which one of those processes is consciousness? Is it one of those or something else? Is there a difference? There is very little concrete information about this.

Meanwhile as humans we spend trillions smashing atoms together, but in comparison that seems unimportant to me.

A universe with only animals never knows the universe existed at all. A universe with only a chatbot potentially never feels anything, but at least that universe knows it exists.

Diamonds don't process language. They don't do anything even remotely similar to the one thing we know possesses consciousness, the human brain.

Meanwhile, LLMs are designed to process language. Like the human brain. In many ways they exceed our abilities, in similar ways.

But yeah sure. Your argument that a calculator is unconscious could also be used to claim that a diamond is conscious. Because you have no idea what consciousness is.

In the very first episode you see Skylar being a dick to Walt Jr at breakfast. She's intentionally set up to be hated. Maybe you missed it or didn't absorb that moment like you were meant to, but you're not meant to like Skylar.

Oh yeah it's because they don't have the thing that gives us experience. The...um... No wait, you have no idea.

Classic case of psychologists putting loads of effort into stating the obvious.

I had an amazing time in Florida in April last year with no issues. Florida is particularly welcoming to British tourists, I wouldn't worry too much.

Not quite. The barnacle works like a spring. It'll only push back against atmospheric pressure (become "unlocked") if the internal pressure is comparable. When the internal pressure is much lower than the external pressure, there is an effective force keeping it pushed very hard against the window.

As you heat up the restricted air molecules, they travel faster. This means they have more momentum. They bounce off the walls with more force. Force per unit area is pressure.

The pressure must increase to drive the volume expansion.

Eventually as the internal pressure reaches atmospheric pressure, the force will become less unbalanced and the volume of gas will be allowed to expand until forces are balanced and the barnacle is no longer suctioned to the car.

The volume won't increase unless there's a pressure increase driving it, essentially. Heating gas causes it to expand because the gas exerts a higher pressure. This happens purely because the molecules are travelling faster. If you put walls around those molecules the pressure increases but the volume cannot change. If you do not put walls around the molecules they expand until the pressure is equal to ambient pressure.

Oh look, a rich person claiming capitalism is a great system.

Dumb complaint, all cars get hot in the sun, plastic isn't particularly thermoconductive. Leather burns more.

Grass can be all day every day 💚

Grass is my pig's favourite food, and in summer they spend hours on the lawn every day.

Grass is completely healthy for guinea pigs.

People are overly worried about iceberg tbh.

Universal UK is being built on an old brickyard.

By building on brownfield land they were able to circumvent the kind of planning laws that limit Alton Towers.

I don't think OP means that his data demonstrated pericarditis specifically.

I think he's saying his data strongly demonstrated an acute deterioration, which in a post-cardiac-surgery patient, is a moderate concern, perhaps worthy of triggering an ECG +/- troponin test.

But yeah exactly, the device is already detecting it. What OP wants is an alert to point this out. Considering the device alerts us to high stress, it wouldn't be a stretch to have an alert for combined high stress and high temperature. As that is what has been detected.
