Hmm. So, how possible is it for there to be life on a tidally locked world? Like, if it was orbiting a red dwarf or something, and was close enough to be tidally locked but still only got as much light as earth, would it be possible for there to be life? Maybe a thin habitable ring around the edge of the sunlit area? or would it just not be possible to have a viable atmosphere? :/

Aaargh I'm bad at programming whyyyyyy. :/

me for most of my life: "Whyyy is execissing so hard...?"

Me now: "Lol wtf why is this so easy?"

The answer, of course, is that knowledge is power: https://darebee.com/

This site is really good. I forget who on mastodon recommended it to me, but it's amazing. :/

I just ran across this article. It seems very interesting - in pareticular, I have a freind who seems to be fairly well described by all this. :/

@aeonofdiscord @Azure Often when talking about AI, you'll see people go "We shouldn't be worried about AI because of that, we should be worried about AI because of this!"

As a general principle, I disagree with the first part and agree with the last part. As I said earlier, "the whole domain has more possible catastrophes than you can shake a stick at. :/"

Should we worry about unfriendly AI? or AI controlled by bad actors? Is this a problem now, in the algorithms we use today? Or a problem in the days to come?

I think the answer is yes. :V

Just saw this post by Scott Alexander. It's pretty cool. http://slatestarcodex.com/superintelligence-faq/

#Webcomic Rec: The Ashen Princess

Found this webcomic the other day and I love it. To give you the short version: Trans girl breaks free from her oppressive society and goes for an adventure across the universe with a theater troupe. It is amazing. :P

Huh. So apparently, we need to roll back not just this latest FCC decision, but also the one from 2005 that let ISP's become the virtual monopolies they are today. Who new? :/

@Angle Hmm, I spoke to soon. This just gives me a "Can't access Lists" when I try. Anyone know who's responsible for subway footer? I wanna submit a bug report. XD

Hmm, it's almost midnight. Maybe I should go to bed. Goodnight, fediverse. XD

...You know what's especially annoying about the high cost of healthcare? How Crap most of it is. Like, everyone you go to a different doctor, you have to get a fresh set of the same tests done. They can't just the data from the other doctor a month ago. I know there are some good reasons for this, but I can't help but feel like the system could he massively improved... :/

@Angle AND IT DOESN'T OPEN YOUTUBE IN THE CRAPPY YOUTUBE APP! Guess Christmas came early. XD
