Blade runner. Much better than "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" but it is only loosely based off it.

PS: when reading a book after watching a film, it usually feels like the book is much better, fills in details, separates scenes which a film had mixed together or altogether done away with. E.g. The Shining, LotR, Dune...but for Androids I just felt "what, that's it?"

"Those mexicans...they crazy!!"

Une democracie ne cesse pas d'être une démocratie seulement à cause de pas respecter le droit international, mais à cause de perdre la légitimité de la représentacion populaire ou de perdre institutions comme la séparation des pouvoirs ou l'état de droit.

This is not so bad. Reddit is crawling with bot spam and that will increase as users leave the platform every time it does a stunt to pump the stock price. The percentage of real/fake content will decrease and will poison the training pipelines. It's a great experiment to test model collapse in real time, really.

Also politically it feels like a really powerful example that repeats itself over and over of how good, idealistic governments in principle decay and fall from the inside from their own contradictions, but ultimately the killing blow comes at the hands of their own cynical and rejected offspring.

Evolution is based on the species, but they all coevolve...to optimize...what? What sort of problem would a biosphere organism be trying to solve?

Come on guys, I've had an 8TB microsd card since 2018...my files just start to act funny whenever it is fuller than 8GB ;)

Green here 'cuz it tastes as good to me as I imagine that wine does to other people.. and the shades of flavour from the kick-ass 1st, 2nd, 3rd and the last ditch 4th waters are nice to compare too. Sometimes I oversteep the 1st water to get that kick in the teeth in the morning...sometimes I just let it mellow and drink the tasteless tired water...it's sorta fun if you ain't into alcohol or coffee :)

This is great, really immersive. I also love how historians say "one more thing I wanna talk about" and there is still half of the video left to enjoy :)

I'd like to see these rankings distinguish between good "learning" universities and "research" universities (and also the infamous "lifestyle" universities, which focus on the experience). Each of these components serves different purposes. Some learning universities have great academics who love to teach, but never produce enough research to compete.

I could try being the devil's advocate and argue a point or two, but I won't because I'd be overall a worse person without piracy lol

Same for universes if you adhere to the anthropic principle: the universe is the way it is, because that is what enables life somewhere to talk about it.

If you have a shitty life, you're more likely to eat ultraprocessed food, this is not surprising.
