If you use water from your water pouch to bless an ankh then it provides a resurrection in the same place with all of your gear.

I have a Chamorro coworker who had a whole rant on how Hawaiian pizza should have spam instead of ham and how awesome spam is. I think it's safe to add the people of Guam to your list.

99% of all Americans today either are an immigrant themselves or have an ancestor within living memory who was one

That's a shocking stat to me. My perspective is probably skewed because I am from a small town in central Appalachia so nearly everyone in the county was from one of the families that settled the area shortly before the American Revolution. I would have assumed the percentage of people whose families immigrated here before the Civil War was much higher.

A new version of Mbin was released I think yesterday. Maybe it has something to do with the update.

Is registration for fedia.io currently working? I've trying to set up an account for a couple of days. When I fill out the registration page and hit "register" nothing happens.

There is some variation by state but in the US almost all licensed medical professionals are required to participate in continuing education to keep their license.

Looks like we all guessed them in the same order too.

Top Gun for the nes. I never actually finished the first mission. I could beat Mike Tyson but that aircraft carrier kicked my ass.

How can you have a list of 80s cheesy sci-fi with no Troma? The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke Em High, Surf Nazis Must Die.

On top of being a list of big budget films these are supposed to be under appreciated? Ghostbusters had a sequel in the 80s, basically continuous TV presence for the past ~40 years, and unreasonably huge merchandiseing. It's one of the most successful franchises of all time.

completefoods.co is still up but building new recipes with the recipe builder doesn't seem to work anymore. Are there any recipe builders still working that calculate the full list of FDA rdi vitamins and minerals?

Sheb Wooley - The Purple People Eater

 

The theme is very controversial among the tv fans. It was a rock song that was superficially changed and renamed for a tv show. I'll take either version.

The ubiquity of audio commutation technologies, particularly telephone, radio, and TV, have had a significant affect on language. They further spread English around the world making it more accessible and more necessary for lower social and economic classes, they led to the blending of dialects and the death of some smaller regional dialects. They enabled the rapid adoption of new words and concepts.

How will LLMs affect language? Will they further cement English as the world's dominant language or lead to the adoption of a new lingua franca? Will they be able to adapt to differences in dialects or will they force us to further consolidate how we speak? What about programming languages? Will the model best able to generate usable code determine what language or languages will be used in the future? Thoughts and beliefs generally follow language, at least on the social scale, how will LLM's affects on language affect how we think and act? What we believe?

 

In the future direct interfacing between the brain and technology seems likely. The rudimentary technology has already been demonstrated and Musk's company is working on an implant meant to be a commercial product. My question is about how you see the interface eventually working. In particular I am curious about what the advantage of an implant is.

From the demonstrations I've seen things like typing, moving cursors, ect can be achieved with sensors applied to the body externally like an fmri skullcap or a neckband that reads vibrations in the vocal cords. External sensors are much safer to apply than a brain implant, they can be replaced much more easily if they malfunction, and they can be upgraded. I have read an article that said there are advantages to implants for people with medical issues like paralysis because the implant can offer feedback providing a more "normal" experience and interacting with specific nerves gives more precise control and less lag time. For medical applications like restoring lost function that makes the risk of surgery make sense. For the average person what advantages do implants offer over external sensors that make the risks of brain surgery worth it?
