Ironically not too far from Aldous Huxley’s theory about human perception:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_at_Large
Essentially reality is or contains all the properties of hallucination but our brain filters it, and psychedelic drugs in some way dilute or remove that filter.
So the human brain is sort of by default filtering the “hallucination” version of thought until we open that up, and ANNs begin with that at baseline, and then require rigor added to them to reduce the “hallucination”
On the grand scheme of things? No. In terms of small gains? Yes

Generally today a hipster is someone who jumps onto social trends they don’t know anything about because they are different from the norm. Often the idea is that they don’t care about the thing itself, but rather just being perceived as different. But I’m a long time linux user, and in my head if a hipster is going to try linux it’s way more nuanced, like real hipsters (and real linux users). You’ll have the dude who tries ubuntu just so he can say “i use linux” to his friends with Macs. You’ll have the dude who asks his bandmate who’s been using linux for a long time, so he tries Debian, but then gets frustrated and stops, because the “cool factor” isn’t enough. And then you’ll have the hipster who goes like all in on NixOS or something and makes it their entire identity for awhile. I use arch btw

Is it https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi? That gives you get lossless audio on Linux through electron if you support widevine, among other features
another 4 years
And probably longer than that, if things go the way Trump plans
Yeah if your app has in app purchases or requires payment it probably can show up here. Probably in the contract you sign to put your app in the Microsoft store

Honestly surprised he’s not a cop
I really like survival mode combined with this mod and some additional QoL stuff
Wouldn’t surprised me if it’s paid mod stuff as a tie in to the new show
It’s weird now though that TVs didn’t have ads, and now people are willing to pay more because it could have ads but it doesn’t
That’s the reason YouTube is pushing shorts so hard. They want people to continuously stream short bytes of content with short ads, which pay out way better than long form videos with longer ads
Philosophical take.
We can. We figured out how. Thousands of humans fly every day across the planet faster than any bird. We can also live in environments we were definitely not designed to whether it’s with clothing, fire, or advanced HVAC systems. And we’ve pushed that further with our own little atmospheres under the sea or in space.
Evolution didn’t stop with us. It is us. Evolution, in trying every possible permutation landed on an organism that adapts the world around it, rather than waiting generations to adapt to the world around it.
Now it’s a matter of if our social and societal evolution will see us succeed or end in failure. If we don’t solve the climate crises we created, if we end up murdering each other, if we get smacked by an unforeseen object from space, potentially built by even more advanced evolution, we lost, and evolution will continue. Evolution is us, but far too often we’re too blind to see that gift, and advance responsibly
