We do see relativistic and quantum effects at macro scales. Not necessarily day to day, but many experiments have shown it’s quite a blurry line between quantum states and ‘normal’ states.

From things like Bose-Einstein condensates having quantum properties across the entire mass, and experiments showing that electrons and even things as big as protons still can exhibit wave-like properties, amongst many other phenomenon, it’s blatantly obvious there is no hard line.

The big problem with Trek, at least for me, isn’t the continuity issues or not-entirely-hard-science plots. It’s the lack of internal consistency between series. Not in plot points, but in attitude and mood, and what ‘Trek’ is supposed to represent. It’s not supposed to be space drama with a bunch of immature shits running around with scifi tech. It’s supposed to be an imagining of a better future, where humanity has come together and gotten so cohesive and nice that they don’t even use money in their own economies any more. The drama and action is supposed to come from things going awry or other external forces, not humans being just as shitty as they are now IRL. That doesn’t mean the franchise has to avoid dark topics or stories. DS9 is great and does just that.

It’s depressing when it’s just random scifi with a coat of Trek paint instead of a better version of humanity facing problems.

What are you going to fix by looking at terrible news on a little text/image board?

The employees have already been paid as much as they’re going to and will be rewarded by being laid off. Not buying it only punishes the shithead management that will otherwise give themselves massive year end bonuses.

I mean… if it were done in an intelligent, tactful way, the US could be far more effective in a war (not that I support it at all). This strongarm BS is just ridiculous when viewed logistically, which is 90% of modern warfare.

Never preemptively blocked obvious trolls or repost bots? Brave of you. I guess by ‘preemptive’ I mostly mean without engaging first.

“AI” is such a terrible blanket term. Is this an LLM only? Will there be an actual machine learning model with hard checks doing the decision making? If the latter, I could see it largely working out. If the former … lol

Awfully fleshy for a “bone” spirit. Also that’s one heck of an angle for things to come off a human skull, what with the neck normally being ‘down’ far more than back.

… Still pretty badass, though.

int x = …; isn’t just a declaration. Both are totally fine in most modern languages.

““Flaws””

What?! Who’s ripping them down?! Why doesn’t it have to start in the center?? Is genuine ignorance really downvoted in Lemmy?? I thought this place was better than Reddit…

I … also don’t think I’m cultured enough to understand that answer. Sorry.

So classic capitalist enshittification. Wish I was surprised.

The second camp is literally and unequivocally a cancer on humanity. Period. Full stop.

Yea, struggling to vote is the standard for any US senator.

They need vast quantities of financial ‘lubricant’ to vote.

In favor of what? Legit question, I’m not that cultured.

Nah. Still mass produced sugar trash. Are you funded by them?

AI generated? More likely than you’d care to admit!

Wait wait wait… I might be wrong since I don’t care at all about football… but isn’t this entire image BS?

They’re not lined up in the center of the field. That field goal post looks weirdly way too skinny, and… it just generally feels way off?? WTF?!

Biology can do far crazier things than color most of the extremities a different color… This is absolutely nowhere near enough uniformity or weirdness to declare it, “AI” … and I fucking hate “AI”.

I hate that it’s even a plausible question, but the basic pattern is in no way a sign of “AI”.
