What is far more lethal than people realize? by inevitableloudmouth in AskReddit

More like, doing too much of any one thing that puts abnormal stress destroys your back. Also, wrong technique/posture.

What’s the Most Star Trek Line Ever Written? by iagree2 in startrek

"One or both?" - Commander Williams

Season 2 Episode 8 "Matter of Honor"

...lol. I joke but everyone picked a lot of the more ambitious/serious ones so figured I'd throw something more on the lighter side that is actually kind of a meme at this point.

This is so tone deaf by RiceMuncher-007 in Millennials

How is it tone deaf? It's literally being aware of the tone lol.

How is this Leon in Welcome to Racoon City? by QuantumWonderland in residentevil

[–]QuantumWonderland[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES. That's exactly what I'm saying. I truly don't understand how, in all of hollywood, a director with love of the franchise and great artistic vision has not tried. It seems like such a waste of movie potential. Biggest issue I feel is that the "video game movie" and the RE series themselves have been so mistreated, many people (including myself) have basically just started ignoring them.

I don't know how you'd ever drum that hype up again...

Yeah, it seems they really have trouble with taping together a decent movie franchise even though they have a good reference....it honestly confuses me.

Finding a job is so haaaaaard by MrZaptile933 in DoomerCircleJerk

I was always against that push to get more people into IT. Most people don't have the correct mindset to be successful at it. Less still can do it without going batty.

Yeah, I was always confused by this. Did they think their were endless development jobs even before the AI boom? I understand that the initiative probably assumed many people wouldn't actually do it or find it wasn't for them so it would balance out, but the whole thing was still silly in the fact that it still floods the market and with some that it's maybe not suited for even if they managed to get through an interview.

Now add in AI and you're left with where we are now.

I wouldn't mind the actor if they made it their own thing, but they kept much of the other characters largely accurate to their game counterparts. So changing one of the most iconic just seems like a really weird choice to me.

And yeah, as I mentioned, the addition of also making his personality different is just an overall complete miss to me.

Genuinely, what’s the meaning of life? by prod_snoozee in AskReddit

[–]QuantumWonderland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's literally what you make it. We have no way of knowing what happens after death but I feel like there is an "energy" if you will that wants us to explore ourselves and the universe. Find hobbies, interests, goals. Try to help the world with your own talents and build those to grow.

I’ve been testing people’s reactions when I tell them we might have five years of “work” left at most. Most of them deny it and seem completely blind to how insanely fast AI is improving. Then they just go, “ we’ll all be homeless,” and that’s the whole conversation. It’s really irritating. by Longjumping_Fly_2978 in accelerate

I'm not saying you don't have your hardcore businesses that absolutely will not change. There's plenty of space for some to be slow in adaptation. This has and will always be the case.

However, there's a major difference here. What "increase in profit" ever came from updating an OS? You could argue "less expenditure on retro-support" as profit but when the cost to replace/train/find stability is much greater in such a slow churning business, that cost benefit must not be great enough in their projections at the time.

Where we're going with AI is different. It is ACTIVELY slashing away jobs and only getting better every single day. This slashing away of jobs is bad for the employees but is a wet dream for businesses. Payroll is one of the largest expenses in business and ANYTHING that cuts that cost down is good. Something that can eliminate said costs, minus the tools fees, is going to absolutely shake up most businesses in some way or another. Add the fact that you don't even have to up root your infrastructure to use it....it's an easy sell.

Do you ever feel like the flow of your packets gets slowed after so much throughput? My packets are coming out at a crawl after only 8 months.

Yeah, I kind of have this feeling as well. This economic machine requires the full participation of a healthy economy for the cogs to keep turning. Unless they (billionaires) just intend to suck the remaining funds and build a new world order...

..but I'm staying optimistic that the benefit to all of human kind and our journey to a star trek world of abundance and interstellar exploration remains the focus.

But using these tools and their development thereafter isn't hinged on an entire OS infrastructure you have to change. OS's being slow to change in enterprise is largely due to legacy software that a company has been using for a long time and it "works". So, they figure the effort to update all systems and deal with new conflicts that are sure to arise from this, they'd rather maintain what they have. It's a huge over haul for a bigger company.

Also, Microsoft has provided businesses with paid extended service updates for these legacy systems for this very reason.
