Nowadays, yes. Back in the day a run on the bank could screw everyone.

It’s backed by the government. Yes, if the government falls apart the dollar will be worthless, but if the government falls apart a lot more will happen than just the currency dying.

I’m a family doctor, so I haven’t yet. It’s not a validated tool to source medical information, and I can’t paste any patient identifiers into it, so even if I wanted its input it’s way faster to just use my standard medical resources.

Our EMR plans to do some testing later this year for generative AI in areas that don’t have to be medically validated like notes to patients. I will likely sign up to pilot it if that option is offered.

I use it for D&D, though, along with a mixture of other tools, random generators, and my own homebrew. My players are aware of this.

All of them do. You’re free to criticize your government in them.

They can’t see your password in a usable state, but have control over everything else.

Hot take: Scrubs Season 8 was weak. Dr. Cox as chief was lame, the new interns were lame, the Janitor’s wedding was lame.

Season 9 was actually a bit of a dead cat bounce.

I didn’t put much thought into it, I just wanted to try Lemmy.

It was one of the suggested ones on Memmy and the description seemed reddit-like so I picked it.

We know cause and effect exist in the universe. We can use this to gain control of a lot of things in our world: for instance, when I push the letter “A” on my touchscreen, the letter “A” appears on my screen due to these cause/effect systems we have set up.

However, we know that the universe is not entirely describable via cause and effect. Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle precludes us from fully observing all aspects of a quantum system, Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorem shows that our knowledge of the universe will always be incomplete, and Schrödinger’s Cat shows us the absurdity of trying to make concrete claims about observed phenomena using probabilistic models.

If the universe was purely deterministic and we were theoretically able to gain all knowledge of it, there would not be free will. But this is not the universe we live in. The universe we live in is one where:

• Probability exists, so we cannot fully predict the future state of events even with perfect knowledge (i.e. Schrödinger can never gain enough knowledge to predict whether the cat is alive or dead before opening the box, because the event is fully probabilistic.)
• There are aspects of the universe we cannot fully observe, because by focusing on some aspects we must filter out others, so observation will never be fully reliable.
• Regardless of how much we learn, there will always be knowledge we cannot fully categorize.

If events in the universe were fully deterministic, then free will would be an illusion, because everything could be traced to an earlier set of causes, and decisions would not actually exist. If events in the universe were random, free will would have no meaning, because decisions would be arbitrary.

But we live in a universe where things are not immutable, but things are not equally likely. I can roll a fair set of dice for randomness, or I can weight them to create an uneven probability, or I can select a number to eliminate probability altogether. And we all make decisions with limited observations using incomplete knowledge that will only have a partial effect to affect the probabilities of future events. And that means we shape events without controlling them, so all of our decisions have meaning. We can also tell objectively based on observations that some decisions are better than others, while at the same time conceding that no decision is 100% objectively right or wrong.

And that, my friend, is free will.

He killed Tyrell in rage, and it’s implied he killed Sebastian as well.

Xubuntu. I have simple tastes.

They’re piracy sites.

It was the same basic self-deprecating joke with reddit, just more explicit with the name on lemmy.

Search https://lemmyverse.net/communities for any communities you may be interested in. Many of them have the same or similar names to reddit subs. Also, subscribe to [email protected]. Once you have a few, flip your feed over to “subscribed” and browse your custom feed. Occasionally pop back into All to see if there are any other good ones you may have missed.

If you hate the web version of lemmy like I do, check out the mobile apps, which tend to have a more reddit-like design.

And once you’ve done all that, the only thing left to do it shitpost.

a.Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

That is a false quote: there is no period at the end of that quote, because that was only half a sentence. The next word in that sentence is a big “IF,” followed by context that made it clear they only were requested to remove bullshit. This was followed by 4 other bullet points that further affirmed that the government specifically wanted them to remove half truths and lies, not factual information.

If you’re not even going to bother to get the whole quote, why are you posting? It appears the only one who is not actually interested m the truth is you.

90% of internet has always had ads

And we were content to be back when it was a single banner. But then they started flashing, and crowding the screen, and popups that got so obtrusive they would sometimes spawn forever and crash your PC.

You are almost certainly using a browser with a popup blocker, because advertisers can never just let it be: they need to become more and more obtrusive until they start harming their customers. Protecting yourself from ads is a necessity.

Every modern browser has that built in, and phones actively block most of it. Unless you’re surfing the internet on IE4 or whatever, you are already filtering a good chunk of the dreck, because someone else saw fit to protect you from it.

Yes, the internet has always had ads, and us not being ok with it is why you’re able to browse at all without infinitely spawning popups in front of you.

Also, you realize you’re posting on an ad-free platform?
