For the benefit of any of Today’s 10,000 I just want to point out that this is a reference to a quote from a movie.
The same movie stars Danny Trejo as Machete.
This movie is Spy Kids 2.

I wonder if it’s a compile error to have multiple conflicting COMEFROM statements

I think there’s at least one INTERCAL implementation where that’s how you start multi-threading

I am really surprised at that from Proton. They of all organizations should be better than that.

This meme is older than rust.

No, it’s like saying that most of them happen up to a year later.

The word “after” in the headline means not during, and that’s the surprising part

It wasn’t bad in my case. Much less pain than say a dental appointment. Sore for longer after, but still not high on the list.

I stopped waiting a decade ago and just got the snip. Best decision ever.

The article said surgery. Also common sense, they are reading individual neurons. Not feasible from outside.

Best we have is FMRI, and it is an amazing technology, but it absolutely can’t do that and never will because of how it works. And besides, it doesn’t fit in a doorway either, and would also be incredibly obvious: loud, super magnetic - requiring all metal to be removed for a long distance, requiring the target to sit for a long time and follow instructions, etc.

Surgery is absolutely the only way this is possible.

So you’re worried about governments forcing brain surgery on people, and think this one particular technology is going to be the big issue if that happens?

I think at that point ‘reading minds’ is no longer the major concern. Like the old statement about apocryphal airport security measures after 9/11 - “if you can take over the plane with fingernail clippers, then you don’t need the clippers”.

(clippers were never actually banned on planes in the USA, but for a short while the metal files on them were and that caused confusion)

This tech seems like a huge waste of money when if they are That authoritarian they could just shove an ice pick up the dissident’s eye socket or simply have them jump out a window with bullet holes in their back. Why bother with actually gathering evidence - if you’re willing to forcefully open their skull, then clearly it’s already beyond that point.

I suppose it could be used to find accomplices and crack passwords and stuff, but still seems like a very roundabout way of going about it and likely can be easily defeated by just thinking “LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” in a loop. Or thinking of an earworm song. Or thinking of false statements.

Very true. Even though we have more advanced data tools and everything, it would still be orders of magnitude more difficult

We kinda did that for the genome

I think this might be the first of these I’ve seen where pretty much all the comments are just agreement.

Still happens for new emoji on old OSs, or just missing characters in the font being used.

Let me know when I can check it out without owning an iPhone. Web access would be fine.

Doesn’t strike me as a company that cares about openness if they are being that exclusive.

For that matter how will federation work with them showing ads and having paid posts like they promise (to ‘reward the creators’)?

Here’s a quick essay about the problems with it.

TL;DR - as long as people generally prefer to sleep when it’s dark and wake when it’s light (and they always will in general) time zones are basically needed as a form of lookup table for when to try to communicate with other places.

Yes! Very much so.

This is a good illustration of exactly why timezones exist and the issues with not having them.

That article says 58.7 microseconds per (Earth) day. Not 1s.

Calling bytes ‘O’ is rather unamerican.

None of your screenshots load for me (at least in Eternity for Lemmy)

Do many people have trouble with that?

My dreams are all repetitive nonsense that doesn’t even have the quality of feeling like reality. During them I almost never think to wonder if it’s a dream, but if I do then either I wouldn’t be able to hold onto that as a coherent thought, or the dream would just end.
