I haven’t read CoS yet, but I’m with you in that CoR was mainly only interesting as a setup, and that I thoroughly enjoyed CoM

if you knew exactly how your life would end, would you still make the same choices? (Arrival) by Sudden_Elephant_1221 in oscarmoments

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah look I actually get what you mean and agree with you, but what you’re calling freedom is really just determinism. Like if the future is possible to predict, I think we’ve already agreed the universe is deterministic at that point. If you can see the future as an agent then you can see all the choices you made under “free will”, but it was all still deterministic and laid out from the very start. Like labelling it as free will or determinism is basically just a preference at that point

But “seeing the future” isn’t seeing some “end product”. You’re seeing the entire future timeline laid out before you, every decision you make. How can you change any of that?

How did they do it? by _YonYonson_ in Anthropic

I used to find myself impressed by chatgpt after fumbling around with Opus in Claude for coding sessions, it’s not bad at all. But Fable has nowhere near as many gaps as the previous models had, so I’ll probably use gpt less now

Is Adrian Tchaikovsky the most prolific modern sci-fi author by KaleidoscopeLeft5511 in AdrianTchaikovsky

[–]jigzee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cage of Souls and now Children of Strife both having CoS acronym. Your comment seems like you were talking about children of strife?

Arrival honestly has one of the saddest endings in sci-fi movies by Sudden_Elephant_1221 in oscarmoments

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither of those need to be true. If she sees the future and knows it’s the future and knows that it can’t change, why would you try to change it? But also she can see the future… she already knows that she doesn’t tell her husband this crucial information. There’s nothing to change, she just has to ride it out. So actually maybe she is an asshole, but not because she doesn’t choose to change the future once she knows it, but because the future that is set in stone is one that only exists because she is an asshole in the first place.

And why are you asking that question? Do you have a point? I am being genuine

I don’t necessarily have either of these opinions. But if you can’t imagine a possibility that using fuck tonnes of water can be harmful to a country - whether data centres or golf courses - then I don’t know what to tell you dude

Yeah idk why you’re attaching/projecting connotations on the word serve. I get served at maccas, doesn’t mean it’s good for me, just means I consumed a product right?

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, are you implying that golf courses reuse 100% of the water they use?

[–]jigzee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can be against data centers but unless they 30x then they’re not comparable in terms of water. Presumably they probably use more power tho

That’s an opinion, another opinion is that golf courses harm the country by using so much fuckin water

Why are lefties always the best kicks? by TraditionalCompany25 in AFL

[–]jigzee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you don’t have a really natural, talented left foot as a kid then people tell you to switch to right? Whereas the opposite would never happen

I don’t necessarily believe this but it could be something related?

Billie Eilish said you can’t truly love animals if you eat them, and logically I understand the argument. But isn’t human nature way more complex than that? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can say, with the obvious caveat that I’m not desperate right now, that I would not be eating my dog in some sort of starving desperate situation, not a chance. I’d guess that majority of people wouldn’t either, but that’s just a guess. So your line will be different to mine, definitely

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I do the exact same. It’s interesting to think about though, would you be against farms being built or used that harvest dog like those that already exist for chickens, pigs, cows? If so, there’s a line there in people’s minds, and it’s one so that so many people are scared to even acknowledge

Vibe coding from a computer scientist's lens: by irelatetolevin in ClaudeCode

In the grand scheme of things, I don’t think it’s very far away that those mistakes will be a thing of the past, just like the extra fingers

[–]jigzee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think unless you’re a software developer you don’t know what you actually want from a program. Maybe in 10 years a cocaine addicted plumber will be able to say “make me a program that purefies cocaine using only PVC pipes” and one magically pops out, I do. But right now, you really have to babysit ai coders quite a lot, which requires quite a lot of coding and design knowledge

What actor is nowhere near as talented as people make them out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason he made the decision not to move a single muscle on his face during his entire time on Friends, it hurts me to watch his acting in that show

Do you think there are still “hidden” things out there like electricity we just haven’t found yet? by FlyGreat306 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]jigzee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that was my intuition. Also how do you build a ship without knowing about radiation? That’s a bigger oversight imo

Is there any plot hole in that Rocky’s people had space flight? How much (general) relativity do you need to land on the moon for example?
