A seems more logical from a physics standpoint, but as we know from the game, portals conserve momentum, not energy. In GLaDOS' words: "speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out". From the perspective of the trolley, the subjects have high momentum, so I would conclude B is the right answer here.

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

Look, if the new magic didn't have a personality construct that kept trying to tell me which spells to use, maybe I wouldn't still be using the old magic.

Yes it had a deep blood cost, but at least it was a one time sacrifice and not this monthly bloodletting nonsense new age magic has

This is why Mr. Fry will always have a seat at my table.

Amen.

I was having a conversation about religion with this guy and he asked me what I would do if I got into heaven and had to sit next to God. I told him I wouldn’t take the seat.

just rewatched The Drumhead like dannggg they went there and touched down

With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied – chains us all, irrevocably.

Warp 10 tomorrow, my beloved?

Let's break that warp barrier and get funky!

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory

I scrolled past this without second thought. Paused. Thought, wait, I've never seen a crane on the road. Scrolled back up. No answers. Typed this response, then noticed the book's author. What a whirlwind

That is genuinely fascinating, thank you!

Copyright should end when a company stops selling the original piece of media

Or 50 years after publication, whichever is first

I'm sorry but if I can't watch a movie or play a game legally, then it shouldn't be piracy to do so

Take Pokemon Emerald, that game is no longer sold by Nintendo*, and they have no plans to rerelease it, so why should I who wants to play this game, have to commit something technically a crime to play it?

And this gets more important for less famous pieces of media that didn't sell millions of copies, where copyright fundamentally exists in a manner which blocks preservation and access

After Ea Nasir notoriously failed in the copper business, he went into computers under the name Ea Games, where he received even more angry letters of complaint than before.
