Oh ho! I 󠁤󠁯󠁮󠀧󠁴 see what you did there!

Both can be discussed. In fact many levels of this can be discussed, from the effect on individuals and families involved in the crash, the effect on the owners of the buildings, the effect on the airport, the city, the airline, the country.

Just because they’re talking about the effects of a disaster like this on Air India, it doesn’t take away from what happened to the individuals. It shows the massive reverberations of an event like this.

The airline still has individuals working for it whose livelihood is potentially affected. There are people making the planes that the airline is purchasing. It’s people who live in India who are in mourning over the individuals who died but also shocked at the impact to a symbol of national pride.

If you’re not ready to think about the people beyond those directly affected, that’s fine. (I’m not being facetious. Everyone processes things in a different way. It’s really okay.) But a story like this is inevitably going to be bigger than those individuals and people will talk about different aspects of it. If it wasn’t that big, we probably wouldn’t be hearing or talking about it at all at this point.

This is too deep for me to fathom right now.

I’m not trying to “win” anything, don’t try to dismiss me because you perceive you’re “losing” and you don’t understand word definitions.

Do you even know what semantics is? Do you want me to give you the definition of that, too? If you’re going to use it as a pejorative, you better learn the meaning of the word.

I’m telling you what the definition of simulation is so you understand why some of us are saying why Simulated Intelligence is the correct term, literally, since you seem focused on the literal. You’re the one who started arguing semantics (in your first comment), but got it wrong, by implying a simulation had to be the actual thing (“literally”) . Then I showed you that the definition of simulation is that it is an imitation, not the actual thing and you say I’m arguing “semantics”. Well yeah, that’s what we’re doing here, we’re both arguing the semantics of what it means to be Simulated Intelligence. If that’s not what you’re doing, then why did you comment at all?

The whole point of creating a simulation is that it doesn’t take the same amount of work as the actual thing, but it can - and it doesn’t have to be perfect - make you think it is the real thing. If it was perfect, then you’re done, you don’t have to make the real thing, and it’s no longer a simulation.

A flight simulator doesn’t actually fly. If it did, it would be an airplane.

Simulated Intelligence doesn’t actually have to be intelligent. If it was, it would be (Artificial) Intelligence.

You can say what we have is a bad simulation, but it’s still a simulation, and it’s a much better simulation than it is real intelligence. So Simulated Intelligence is the correct term.

Mimicry is what simulation is.

Definition 3a from Merriam-Webster: the imitative representation of the functioning of one system or process by means of the functioning of another a computer simulation of an industrial process

Doesn’t seem to be catching on…

A simulation doesn’t have to be the actual thing. It implies it literally isn’t the true thing, which is kind of what you’re saying.

Simulated Intelligence is certainly more accurate and honest than Artificial Intelligence. If you have a better term, what is it?

A-10 Tank Killer was the bomb.

Any chance of bringing this one back? It doesn’t seem to be working.

Edit: Nevermind, seems the problem is on my end.

TLDR: 3.11 is twice as fast as 3.10 at doing global name lookups, so an old speedup hack of aliasing a global function locally isn’t needed.

For example, when calling len() in a loop, going l=len, and calling l() in the loop was faster in 3.10. In 3.11, moreso in 3.13, it’s almost a wash.

However, the author says this:

Accessing functions through a module [e.g. math.sin()] or a deep attribute chain can still carry overhead. Creating a local alias or using “from module import name” continues to be effective in those situations.

But when I look at the numbers, I would say 3.13 is pretty close to making it an unnecessary optimization in general. A little subjective on how you interpret the numbers.

Great info, but this was like trying to use a recipe and reading the author’s life story to get there.

More than 10,000 evacuees are being supported by the Red Cross and 860 are being supported by the SPSA (Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency).

About 15,000 have fled Saskatchewan wildfires and more coming: Premier Moe

Moe said he has spoken with his provincial counterparts, as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney, and was told that resources would be made available to battle the fires that continue to affect more than 30 communities.

It’s really not that great, in my opinion. Stilted acting, direction and writing. None of it is believable.

Watch your cornhole, bud.

I bet you’re a double dipper.

I used to have a Dell stick PC that I traveled with to hook up to TV’s in hotels and apartments to stream Netfli, youtube, plex, etc. Worked great for its size and I would hook up a mini wireless mouse and keyboard to control it.

Look up Stick PC or PC on a stick. You can get windows or Linux variants and I imagine you can change the OS if you work at it.

And National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is wrong?

Holy shit that’s the stupidest thing I’ve read all day. It has nothing to do with your petty personal demons. Go educate yourself and/or delete your account on Lemmy.ca.

I really enjoyed Grounded. Never got to the end game, but probably because I didn’t really try. I just had a lot of fun exploring and fighting bugs.
