No. I think the idea that every event that could have multiple outcomes, no matter how minor generates a dedicated full universe from each choice is silly. I do not think there are timelines in that sense, only time. I do think there probably is something in the idea that the observed linear nature of time from past to future is just an idiosyncrasy of our type of life. So it is possible to be informed by other times because they are only separate from a particular point of view.

I believe that might be slightly relegated in favour of the more colourful ‘show time’.

I have not watched this documentary and I am sure it is a very truthful and noble thing but it seems once again to be laying the blame and potential solution on the ordinary person when in truth the largest 100 corporations are responsible for about 75 percent of all environmental damage and greenhouse gases.

Sorry I thought it was your own work not a repost.

Maybe it’s local, I am in the UK and every computer I bought with Windows installed up until about 8 years ago came with standalone Word bundled. Works was there too but unused.

Reminds me what Microsoft once was, Word often would be bundled free at source with Windows because people need a word processor. Notepad was provided as a very light way to get down notes and edit, and then additionally Wordpad was a place between them. I have used Notepad more than any other application, you could even use it as a cheap and cheerful hex editor. Now Word is a subscription, Wordpad is being removed from Windows - even that sentence looks wrong, and Notepad is to be bloated into probable redundancy. I have no real idea why Microsoft is squandering it’s legacy, we grew up with these things.

I think maybe it is a switch in emphasis, Microsoft of old built things people needed and took money for that. Modern Microsoft is trying to get money from people and building things to do that.

How big is the data set in German that the models can learn from, how big is the specific user base once set up and what language do the engineers building it speak?

But even if that is their semi-delusional master plan why scupper it by association with such a bad idea. There was not one person in all the hours of talk they must have spent on this that wondered if every device taking a screenshot every few minutes was a good idea. No matter the security it will be breached and this feature could be astoundingly destructive.

So by implication they have not been telling their teams that since when, Windows95?

Even the cancellation is not good enough. The fact that this was even entertained shows how disconnected Microsoft is from the real world. If they can get this so wrong what else are they getting wrong.

Yeah you are probably right if a bit snarky but it seemed an awkward, cobbled together thing so didn’t spend too much time.

I only skimmed this article but is it trying to bring home the seriousness of and need to reverse man-made global warming by citing an entirely natural example.

Are there plans for a Maximal with a bottle opener?

She has become the thing she hates.

I have had an entangled memory breakthrough and it wasn’t nice.

Do you want a zombie apocalypse? Because that’s how you get a zombie apocalypse.

I think that is probably the point of NASA and science generally, they are both essentially a small child finding new and interesting things to show the grown-ups.

I was thinking the same and if realism is creeping in if we can cope with the 55 light year journey we likely can cope with the radiation and lack of atmosphere.
