i had to google love has won, but this is funny:

Leader: Amy Carlson (“Mother God”)

i imagine mother god must have pissed lot of people, so yay for feminism 😂

An insect that sees ultraviolet light doesn’t see it how we see it x It was showing a representation in the visible light spectrum of what the visor can detect

the insect’s brain evolved to process what the brain can see, so did human’s. so geordi would see exactly the same reducted picture that we see on the viewscreen, because that is the only thing our brain knows how to do.

and you are still narrowing this discussion to subset of the facts. there is still the fact of visor being piece of technology that can be lost, malfunction, causes occasional pain and allows its wearer to be hacked by romulan intelligence. i don’t call that superior to my eyes.

anyway, i don’t think we will progress further in this discussion, so until next time 🖖

S&P500 gained 3+% the day after election

and considering that index gained 90% over the course of last 5 years and 700% over the last 30, that is a strong indication of… something. probably random variance 😆.

which (if you don’t believe the daily stock market is just gambling) presumably means

yeah, that is strong assumption 😂

macro economy does not work like that. any complex system has inertia like an ocean-liner. you turn a wheel and it turns after 10 miles.

seeing something is nice, but analysis of what you see is not necessarily withing the reach of “common sense”, which is why we have scientist who study the problem for all their life and professionals in their field.

and that is why people trying to manipulate masses are trying to convince dense people not to trust the science and trust their common sense. because such gullible people can then be convinced about anything they decide to.

also @Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz’s story reads like a really bad republican fan-fiction. “explosive growth” under trump and doom and despair under democratic president. come on, no administration has that big effect on your daily life. there are countries where it takes time to establish government after the elections and guess what, the day to day life still goes on even with no government present.

What a CONVENIENT verse for the slave owners.

reminds me of the joke that in another two thousand years, future archeologists will have no idea what is the difference between butt dial and booty call.

and yet here we are with piece of shitty fiction written two thousand years ago, being passed in oral tradition and rewritten and retranslated multiple times, and some morons are trying to use it and force it upon others as a guideline how to live a life in 21st century…

There’s also nothing there that shows or says he can’t see the visible light spectrum.

there is, it is exactly there on the screen, his perception of visible spectrum is just one step above nothing. would you want to see like that? accompanied by occasional technical problems and pain? would you call that superior to your eyes?

He would see it differently than what appears on the viewscreen.

that is just unfounded assumption, if you want to argue like that, you can make up literally anything and the discussion loses sense (not that the level of sense was very high anyway 😆)

the coming popular revolt

doubts. i do have some.

He will be replacing generals with fox news stuff until they do.

Decisive is winning popular vote, winning all swing states and having control of white house, congress and supreme court.

she would be very surprised if she could read. i wonder who would pay for a lot of walls that would need to be built, though.

bit different in that he could see the visible light spectrum

he could not: https://i.imgur.com/dlVpyIo.mp4

would you want to see like that? i mean if you were born blind and this was your only option, it is definitely better than nothing, but other than that, it is hard no from me.

the topic of her transphobia and her wiki page, which is where i went for info about her person.

I don’t think that’s contradictory at all though.

Geordi wanted to be able to see [naturally], but his visor is superior to human eyes in that it can see things that humans can’t naturally see.

we are nitpicking here, but if i amputate your hand and stitch can opener at its end, you can now do something normal human hand cannot, but i don’t think anyone would call that superior, or prefer it to their own hand.

if geordi decided that after considering all factors, he would rather have normal eyes, then that is definition of “not superior” to me.

and just a reminder that this is the extraordinary experience we are talking about. i am definitely choosing my eyes 😆

Geordi made it clear more than once that not only would he rather just be able to see, but that his VISOR caused him constant pain

it was also suggested that his visor was “superior to human eyes”. star trek is habitually inconsistent about its world and sometimes it is better not to think about it too much.

also, don’t forget that, these are people willing to work with him. i imagine that is not big club.

there is nothing misleading about the headline. street navigation is quite primitive use case compared to what some others were suggesting (like firing stuff of suicide hotline and replacing them with chatbots).

while machine learning can no doubt be useful tool for many of narrowly specified specific tasks, where all you need to do is evaluate lot of data and find pattern in it, the business behind it acts as if it already had invented GAI and unfortunately will keep pretending that and probably cause lot of damage in hunt for money.

thank you. might be worth updating the wiki article, if you feel competent to do it.

well, that’s unfortunate. if you are familiar with the topic, i encourage you to add that to the wiki page.
