Discus? I can't tell, because while I can log into my Discus account on their site, I can't make comments on any of the sites that use it. I've contacted their support, but that was two months ago, and so far, nothing.
The images include a sort of users' guide explaining human language, the contents of the disc and how to access the deeper layers containing compressed digital data.
That's going to make a great story plot for the movie made by the alien archeologists who will find the disc.
Millions of years later, an alien race finds a dead, sterile planet and, on the moon orbiting it, a bunch of junk and a data reserve, some of it still readable. Yet:
"The digitized layers include a full copy of Wikipedia, more than 25,000 books and data for understanding over 5,000 languages."
"They didn't include any of their own genetic information, so they were either incredibly arrogant, or remarkably stupid."
A long time ago, I would frequent a store in Collingwood, Melbourne, that sold Amiga hardware. At one point they were demonstrating an audio sampler by playing an eleven second loop of John Farnham's hit song "You're the Voice", starting at https://youtu.be/tbkOZTSvrHs?t... .
Apparently, this loop ran all day. I don't know if any of the store clerks went postal, but I can easily imagine it.
... until late April as they train their replacements in the coming weeks
Are they training the robots?
Last place I worked was partly to fill in for another operator who had been redeployed to the far side of the facility, teaching a robot arm to do her (and my) job.
The OS serves no useful purpose other than to get in the way of what you want to do by offering hints, suggestions, and irrelevant pieces of software, not to mention hiding the things you do need to use from you.
Huh. Mine doesn't. Possibly because I occasionally whip my computer with a cat'o'nine tails.
You can turn that shit off, you know, if you have the patience to find out how.
There's a short story by Greg Bear called "Sisters", about a society where gene enhancement of children is common. The modified offspring are smarter and more mediagenic, but in the story it's found that some of them are also subject to sudden attacks of clonic spasms followed by death, due to an unforeseen error. Chilling stuff, if you have children of your own.
I've always been partial to Star Force. Is it too late?
(angrily) You can call it "Star Force" when you can send it to the stars. Until then, you might want to contain your hubris and just call it "Planet Force", or perhaps "Near Earth Force", or just "Fifty Mile High Club".
I notice he dodged that. So it looks nice, doesn't have too much bling, but you still can't set an audio alert to tell you when the battery charge has reached one hundred percent, or, in fact, change many of the default audio alerts at all without rooting it.
why is that in this era that we are living in, people can't believe in what they want?
For flat earthers, I don't mind if they believe what they believe, as long as they aren't put in charge of map-making, arranging routes for cargo ships, or setting orbits for satellites.
There are other varieties of "ignint" [tm Zappa] that are actively dangerous; vaxxers, for example (I can't see their problem, really - the Vax 11-780 was a cool machine for its time).
It's only a short step from a cat shelter to a Miao shelter (see what i did there?), and from there to Uyghyr, Kazakh and Tibetan shelters. Pretty sure they already run them for Uyghurs. Problem is, the doors don't let them out.
The victory was decided by the audience, who knew they were listening to a machine, and they may have been biased against it for that reason. A couple of people may even have had a bias for the machine's argument for that reason.
Anyone else reminded of the Black Cube building in Greg Bear's "Blood Music"? I don't want to speculate further in case I inadvertently give the impression I know what They're doing, and They make me disappear.

I was thinking it's going to be either a vacuum cleaner or an onahole. Possibly a combination of the two.

the article wasn't very clear on this.
I'm just glad he wasn't allowed to name it Trans-Uraniany McTrans-Uranianface.

No. Humans have a soul,
prove it.
something a machine will not easily emulate.
prove it.
In my opinion those insects should be modified so, that the bite would cause the target human unable to produce more humans.
I'm wondering why they're modifying the mosquitoes rather than modifying the Plasmodia.

Tell me that they at least had a spider-baby.
Won't someone think of the Minecraft players?
If they do, it'll be the best god damned sandwich you will ever taste.

Even if rockets are free, what kind of things make sense to do in space?
1: Locate incoming big rocks
2: Determine where they will hit
3: If (our nation) then divert
else notify nation and ask how much money it's worth to divert that incoming rock.
It's not extortion. It's protection, and it's expensive. So, pay up, or BOOM.

Because I shouldn't bloody have to.

No Selenium.. on the Moon. That's ironic.
They don't need a comedian. They need a sufi shaman.
Anyone want to run a book on just how long JPMCoin is a thing?
