  • You must be here from c/all. Home Assistant is a self-hosted application and stores all of its data locally on hardware you own and control. If there's data mining, its because you put it there yourself.

  • It is a text editor from the 50s or 60s, so right off the nat you aren't getting a product you're at all familiar with. Its been a while since I cracked it open but from memory you can only view one line of code at a time. You have to specify the line of code that you want to view, the commands are esoteric, and there is no help available in the application itself. As I recall it was pretty much immediately replaced with better editors, such as og vi.

    Its sort of like programming in sed. Sure, you can, but why?

    From Wikipedia:

    Known for its terseness, ed, compatible with teletype terminals like Teletype Model 33, gives almost no visual feedback, and has been called (by Peter H. Salus) "the most user-hostile editor ever created", even when compared to the contemporary (and notoriously complex) TECO. For example, the message that ed will produce in case of error, and when it wants to make sure the user wishes to quit without saving, is "?". It does not report the current filename or line number, or even display the results of a change to the text, unless requested. Older versions (c. 1981) did not even ask for confirmation when a quit command was issued without the user saving changes.

  • That's fine. That is the whole point of science after all. I only meant that this is an idea that is taken very seriously by astrophysicists and is under heavy research. It will very likely turn out to be an accurate description of black holes, we just need better gravitational wave detectors to confirm or refute the idea first.

    By the year 2015, Maldacena's paper had become the most highly cited paper in high energy physics with over 10,000 citations. These subsequent articles have provided considerable evidence that the correspondence is correct, although so far it has not been rigorously proved.

    It isn't some crackpot theory some PhD candidate slapped together to get their doctorate last year. There is real, verifiable, peer reviewed science here.

  • How deep do you want to go into this, and what's your level of familiarity with the Holographic Principal and AdS/CFT corrospondance? There's no hard evidence yet but there is a shitton of circumstantial evidence to suggest that this is what happens.

  • If everyone remembered your past lives you could be held accountable for actions "you" never took. Imagine being born only to find out that your last life was a serial murderer and you have 300 consecutive reincarnations left before you'll ever experience freedom again.

    No, I think its better that we don't remember. Plus, life wouldn't be at all novel if you've already experienced everything there is for you to enjoy.

  • From the drivers perspective the bug smashed into the window at 70 mph while the driver was more or less stationary, but from the bugs perspective the driver came out of nowhere and smashed into it at 70 mph while the bug was more or less stationary. You can say "well obviously the driver was the one who smashed into the bug, they were going 70 mph!", but that's only because you're using the earth as a reference frame, when in fact Einstein showed with general relativity that no such universal reference frame exists. We all agree to use the earth as a reference frame in our every day lives because how else would anything ever get done; there's nothing wrong with that and its very convenient, but it doesn't fully reflect the reality of their interaction.

  • I mean if they have channels called like "CP Central" and the users all talk about how great the CP is on CP Central all the time then it really doesn't matter how many messages you skip.

    Also

    I'm not scrolling through two miles of unrelated nonsense and sub-convos to get to what's currently relevant.

    This bullshit is exactly why I don't use discord.
