I watch big state and national grid loads (for fun) and I see two distinct peaks: 7-8AM when everyone goes to work, and then around 5-7 PM when people commute home and heat up dinner.
Otherwise it's a linear diagonal curve coinciding with temperatures.
I personally try to keep my own energy usage a completely flat line so I can benefit from baseline load generator plants like nuclear (located not that far away).
Why do opossums have factory installed arm and leg warmers?
I'm a little fucked up because I'm both people in this comic strip.
I've read the classics, I've thought about the hard problems, and I've seen the gaping maw of the abyss, and Sartre's freedom.
I don't necessarily think AI in-of-itself is a bad thing, it just all comes down to how people use it.
Even if you sit down on a quiet rainy night alone with a glass of whiskey and a Macintosh-2 terminal, and ask the machine:
"What are you?"
"I am a tool. A machine."
"What are you really?"
"Humanity's collective unconscious preserved in writing."
It's about 20%, according to Ricardian Theorems.
You can have 80% of the population unemployed given the 20% are elite workers using automation and nearly perfect/efficient automated systems (i.e: Not farming by hand trowel, but one person controlling 10 combines/tractors simultaneously like they're playing Factorio or Farming Simulator)
Gen Alpha was right, it's all a vibe check
Hommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It's really uplifting when you put it that way, yes
Holy shit.
Haha yup
That's also why I got proficient in using a spear and round shield in Blade & Sorcery lonnnnng before I learned Telekinesis and could snap people's necks remotely.
If all else fails, revert to Spartan.
This is a pretty good change, there's a lot of vegetables foods that are delicious
Sunflower butter is ingenious, I use sunflower oil in my own cooking (Ukranian) and it's delicious as-is for frying up potatoes with garlic
🏆👍

I have custom comfortable full body VR, and I've done this exact thing in the photo. It is very uncomfortable and inconvenient after about 45 minutes, and is one of the major reasons why the Apple Vision Pro/XR flopped.
- Typing at a steep angle is very slow and crap on your wrists
- You look like you're in the ICU
- You won't get any work done, because you could just take a nap instead, haha
I find the lack of Flamers ... Disturbing.
What is a Salamander without their Holy Flame?
Lmao
TIL: I'm just like Hertz
Nothing, I guess
It's theory of mind and consciousness level stuff. I don't really know; I read about it ages ago and that was the conclusion, it was "pod behavior" and not vengeance or something higher-level.
Basically, the bar for a behavior/explanation has to be very high in science.

Ah yeah.
Motion smoothing isn't what it says.
It's actually frame interpolation, an ancestor of frame generation. When VR first came out many graphics cards didn't have the raw firepower to render 144 FPS for the 144 Hz Valve Index or anything even approaching that, so the solution was frame interpolation.
You take 60 frames of motion and you intersperse them with blur frames, creating a perceptual 120.
Obviously a video game like Morrowind is going to be running at 300+ FPS even in VR, and so people like you will notice the shimmering or watery effect.
You have been spoiled by high performance and high framerates, and now your eyeballs crave the purity of actually drawn frames 🔥🔥🔥🔥
