  • This doesn't seem like a totalitarianism issue, though. The High or Supreme courts (other courts are available) could rule that replacement with AI is not a valid reason for termination of employment, and the result would be much the same.

  • Show the mini-keyboard?

  • Beteer late than never.

  • Stupid question, but at a restaurant, are you supposed to bring the dishes back to the counter after you've finished eating, or not? I get leaving it if it's too hot to touch, or there doesn't seem to be room, but I was curious what we're supposed to do.

  • nice

    Jump
  • It'd be a different sort of exercise, but it would be interesting as a means of learning how to control a forklift.

  • It probably doesn't help that they may have an outdated image of autism. Their child does not have high support needs, so it can't be that. The doctor must be mistaken.

  • Who doesn't like their phone charging them by the word?

  • To be fair, using react for it was just an odd decision to begin with.

  • I would be surprised if it was something that they trained themselves, and not an off the shelf model hooked up to a search.

  • Is this anything new at all?

    Even back in the day, you had people wanting to live in the recent past, because the past usually gets romanticised.

    So people in the 1960s might have a rosy view of the turn of the century, and want to go back to the 1930 days of art deco and balls, or those today, that might want to return what they believe to be glory days of 1960. Even if it isn't actually realistic to how you might live in the past. The average citizen in 1930 was not attending balls at a swanky music lounge.

    Give it a few decades, we might also have people from 2050 pining for the 2020s, believing it to be just like the advertisements, where we all live in the penthouse level of skyscrapers, overlooking a vast cityscape.

  • Tap water? If so, try filtered water, get a good, credible filter and filter the water. Depending on where you live there's a fair amount of materials in the water that make it unpleasant.

    In a pinch, boiling it, and letting it cool back down also helps some, if they can't afford a filter.

  • making a sapient clone just to harvest their organs

    A clone just makes a genetically identical baby, though, and they are shorter-lived. Dolly only lived half as long as the sheep she was a clone of, before she died of old age.

    Unless you wanted to wait 15 - 20 years, for organs that might, on average, last 15, cloning isn't practical.

  • They're going when no-one has gone before, clearly.

  • Although the Enterprise in The Next Generation still takes the cake for nearly leaving the universe.

    Voyager might also count if you include them jumping billions of years of time-distance thanks to Q meddling getting them tossed back and forth.

  • Look, their cure for the cold only evolved you into a spider once.

  • foamed lactase.

    Isn't that the thing that digests milk, but not milk? You can buy little lactase pills at the pharmacy.

  • A lot of these aren't paused entirely because people chose to pause them though, as much as it was hitting a limitation.

    Cloning, for example. The bigger issue is that clones don't live for very long, and that the clone is basically a new human. If we had a science fiction cloning machine that could copy people, you could easily bet that research would be forging ahead.

  • A fair bit of neurodivergent stuff is also neurotypical, just turned up to a degree that it begins interfering with daily living.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    If there are motherboards and daughterboards, are there fatherboards and sonboards?

  • Voyager @lemmy.world

    Reopen thread if the app is closed while editing

  • Fediverse @lemmy.world

    What happened to Kbin.Social?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    How do you ask for a haircut?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing?

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    What caused the change in electronic terminology?

  • Fitness @lemmy.world

    Why cut/bulk in cycles instead of doing it all in one go?
