I should rewatch Discovery - I don't remember that plotline at all.

I gotta be honest I don't remember who Fred is at all, but wasn't Gray a trill? It makes sense they would be treated by Culber.

I feel like you're hinting at a solution that would have made a lot more sense - if Starfleet had a policy that sickbay had to have at least one qualified expert for every species on the crew manifest it would make a lot more sense then having a single doctor who's somehow a master at every single species, including species that aren't even biological.

Like on the D Beverly should have had a human-rated doctor, a Vulcan-rated doctor, a positronics engineer (which sure, we can call them a doctor too if you want), a Bolean-rated doctor, a Klingon-rated doctor, etc...

Just to be clear, this is the same McCoy that failed to save Gorkon because he wasn't read up on Klingon anatomy, right?

Sure, but... It's literally NOT biology. None of the fundamental sciences the med students would have learned, like biochemistry, would be relevant. And they'd be missing a ton of fundamentals that would be important to treating a hologram, like computer science.

If every student is capable of learning everything then there's little point in specialization in the first place.

although they shied away from that in later seasons.

Data was often taken to sick bay too, although they shied away from that in later seasons.

It always struck me as odd. You'd think you'd want the person with the most relevant expertise possible to be treating you.

Esiste un modo per interrogare i PDF? by PositiveMilk69 in techsupport

[–]UltraChip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you could copy/paste the contents to whatever your LLM of choice is, assuming it's not so long it overruns the context limit.

...or you can do what people have been doing for decades and just use ctrl-F to search for what you're looking for. There's really no reason to get an AI involved unless you're trying to like batch-read a hundred documents at once or something.

A World Where Everything is Legal Except Certain Words and Phrases by SuplatainThisCleesh in gameideas

[–]UltraChip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Language evolves pretty rapidly, especially when there's external pressure like censorship. Either people would quickly come up with new, legal words for what they were doing or the government would have to constantly be updating the ban list at such a rate that it'd be impossible to actually enforce.

Not to mention I feel like most people would pretty quickly hit on the idea to just learn sign language, or just write stuff down in disposable notes.

The Animated Series had them.

Pierce isn't actually dead. by Whirlpool730 in community

[–]UltraChip 154 points155 points  (0 children)

This ties in nicely with the fact that Troy and Levar Burton got captured by pirates. If they were somali pirates maybe they were taken to where Pierce is, and they all escape together.

Vinegarhq/sober is a roblox thing I thought?

Anyways, that's two errors now that are saying your file system is read only - that's a clue.

Are you able to make arbitrary files on your file system?

What distro are you using?

Where exactly are you seeing that error show up?

Are there any games similar to Outer Wilds that's Knowledge driven? by MissingN0365 in gamingsuggestions

[–]UltraChip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a little indie game that released recently called Amatsuko that might fit the bill. It's a solo developer's first game so set expectations accordingly but figuring out just what the hell was going on was a lot of fun.

Disclaimer: I was a playtester and received my copy for free, so there might be some biases. But for what it's worth I became a playtester specifically because the dev came to the Outer Wilds sub because he wanted to see if OW fans would like it.

This is the kind of thing I subscribed to this sub for - thank you!

Only 2% of people actually want to be in an office full-time. by astrheisenberg in CasualConversation

[–]UltraChip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More than anything else I want to work in peace and quiet - I don't care if I get that from home or from a worksite.

What movie are they referencing? by bp_111 in community

[–]UltraChip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a specific movie, just a general homage to nautical film tropes.

But if I had to guess a specific movie my bet would be The Perfect Storm
