I've never seen a 700ml energi drink. Must be a regional thing.

Oh, we have estimates. Don't look them up, unless you want to ruin your day.

We've got machines for that stuff.

I bought a Philips device and installed the companion app (Kitchen+). It has a decent selection of recipes that you can filter by appliance and other stuff. You can add your own recipes too.

That's neat

I mean the Ukrainians being bombed by Russia. I assume you're aware that thousands of Ukrainian civilians have been killed by Russia.

The problem you have with the Donbas genocide narrative is that, even if true, it doesn't justify an invasion, killing even more people.

Why a supposed communist would even want to justify Russia's actions in this conflict remains a complete fucking mystery.

Compared to a universe, they're equally complex.

Tic tac toe is on the order of 10^2 bytes.

The Dwarf Fortress install is 10^8.

The number of particles in our universe? 10^80

It would definitely have been better, but I think part of the incompetence is in the design.

You're, of course, right about simulation speed not necessarily having to match host universe speed, but an issue you can run into is that your universe experiences heat death before anything interesting happens in the simulation.

I'm extremely skeptical of in-universe physics hacks not being observable. What does it mean for an area to be less important when we can look up at the sky and observe tiny little photons from the beginning of time (almost)?

A common argument for simulation relies on infinitely nested simulations to conclude that the probability of being in the real universe is virtually zero.

What I'm pointing out is that the infinite simulations premise is nonsense.

Does AlphaGo understand go? How about AlphaStar?

When I say LLM's can understand things, what I mean is that there's semantic information encoded in the network. A demonstrable fact.

You can disagree with that definition, but the point is that it's absolutely not just autocomplete.

Often, the SoCS is merely invoked as a metaphor: either to depict some technological threat at home or to portray a techno-dystopian China.

This is symptomatic of a tendency to see China not as a real place with real people, but as an abstract “negative opposite” of “us”.
