I had no cancer, but know people that did and one thing that came up often is that people tend to distance themselves from them. Not in a mean way, but dealing with special needs is tedious and that is often just a cause to not do certain things. Spending time together (no matter what you end up doing) gives a sense of normalcy and can really push someone to keep fighting. Cancer is a marathon with additional sprints (chemo) on top. Not being alone through all of this is a huge help

They have to list their legal contact. Write them an e-mail there and quote the GDPR. Request a confirmation.

I think it points to the character on the left that looks a bit like a character from “Among us”. And they used the available icons to write a name close enough to that (Abong up)

But that’s just a guess…

Their concern is not solely based on the gene modification. The impact of introducing a new crop is bigger than that. The golden rice is patented and that often comes with a ton of regulations the local farmers have no control over.

While I wish for there to be a good way to solve the food problem AND find a good use for gene modification, I don’t think that this particular instance is it…

How do they know that you wrote it yourself and didn’t just steal it?

This is a rule to protect themselves. If there is ever a case around this, they can push the blame to the person that committed the code for breaking that rule.

I think you already gave yourself the answer in your own case:

Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.

This applies to people that aren’t in your inner circle. You want HER to be in that circle and suddenly it actually does matter what SHE thinks of you. You have little to lose with people you don’t really care about, but everything to lose with people you do care about. It’s an evil social twist that makes everything so complicated. High self-esteem is just the ability to quickly pull yourself up when you fall and the knowledge that you actually CAN do so. It mitigates the risks of “putting yourself out there”.

Well…they 'how’l all the fricken time without being asked!

Not op, but I really liked this video, as it explains quite a bit. It is of course a biased video, but still…

Clonezilla is the tool I use after all else has failed. I agree that it is difficult to use, but it can do things others can’t. I saved quite a few of my drives with this thing. So while I try to avoid having to use it, it still belongs in my toolkit.

We are the society and judging other people’s behaviour is what defines morality. Not speaking up about things that are clearly fucked up as the model industry just shifts the whole moral-scale in their favor.

Thank you for your reply and thank you for hiding the spoilers.

I don’t know the anime, sor I don’t get the joke…

What anime is this and what is the joke if there is one?

To me it seems like this change is centered around navigation using a car. Streets are much more prominent, while details in nature are lost. The greens are much more muted and barely recognisable. And they also get lost between the stronger color for roads.

So for navigation I don’t mind it, but for just looking things or orientating myself, I really hate it.

I tried Chatgpt, but got no result. Maybe you could give it a try. It always asked for more context, which I was unable to give…

Many plagues were caused by lack of basic hygiene. Of course I wouldn’t want to miss modern medicine, but living back then with a lot less people around and equipped with todays knowledge would actually be pretty neat.

…but not with my teeth…i would have probably died already if not for modern ways of dealing with tooth-aches…

I may have oversimplified my statement. Of course an objective description of reality is impossible. A curse on all social sciences and statistics.

My post was more a showerthought…even if the data is incomplete, whatever THAT data implies will also be the stereotype the AI will learn. Misrepresentation of minorities in sample data is absolutely nothing new. But even if the data WAS complete, it would probably still be very biased. I think we often don’t notice structural discrimination and AI would simply reproduce those and confront us with it. In that sense I think it is a very interesting way to get a sort of ‘outside look’ at our own society and that is something that’s very useful.

I wonder if this is because AI is trained on data that ‘is’ and has therefore no concept of how it ‘should be’. Maybe it is an effective mirror of society…

Eh…life is an MMRPG, so a bit of lag is normal…
