2·8 days agoWell yeah, we haven’t really been in the business of freezing hamsters regularly since they end up braindead pretty quickly.
That’s literally not how it works.
Propofol slows down your brain and changes several “rhythms”, but your brain activity does not cease at any point. To your conscious self it may appear as if you’ve “paused”, but this is absolutely not the case.
Hamsters and small animals can be partially frozen and unfrozen. Once fully frozen (or close to it) they can no longer be revived. Once brain cells die, they cannot be revived.
His study showed that every animal in which 15% or less of the body water had been frozen recovered completely. Two-thirds of those in which 15 to 40%, and one-third of those in which 40 to 50% of the water had been frozen were fully resuscitated and survived long periods.
Hamsters in which 55 to 70% of the water had been frozen subsequently recovered heart beats and breathing but not consciousness, whereas when 76% of the body water had been in the form of ice resumption of heart beat was the only sign of life.
With such “revivals” they weren’t fully dead yet. They would be, if nobody intervened.
Human bodies are irrecoverable once life fully ceases. Before that happens revival is still possible. Afterwards, it isn’t.
There also have not been any revivals after brain activity stops. Once neurons stop firing (which happens on cell death), no revival is possible anymore. At that point, death is permanent.
Your brain doesn’t stop working when you sleep or are under. Your physiology keeps going.
Killing and freezing a person kills them. You can’t revive someone after doing that.
We’re unable to do piece-by-piece replacements of the brain(stem) so not much to argue about there. But if we could, it’s probably still you since you’re the continuation of your biological processes, which doesn’t get interrupted, just modified.
I’d argue that an instance of life is it’s continued existence. An interruption where it gets fully destroyed means that instance of a life has ended. Once reconstructed, a perfect, indistinguishable copy is created, but it is not the same life.
If you were to create the copy without destroying the original, would you now be in two places at the same time? Or are there two you’s in two different points in space?
Actually for some laws ignorance of the law is a legitimate legal defense. Famously in case of Hillary Clinton’s emails, she couldn’t be charged because they couldn’t prove she knew of the specific statute and that she’d purposefully kept her emails in a separate server. Ignorance of the law saved her there.
13·22 days agoI mean, try to do a spreadsheet on a PC without any accessories. You can’t, because there’s no monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc… All accessories. By this logic, only laptops can really be called PCs.
Replace any desktop tower with a Steam Deck and you’ll find it’s perfectly capable of doing the same job.
5·29 days agoUsually it helps but not as much as most people think. Very few people actually use a privacy focused browser, so that in and of itself is surprisingly identifying.
Why did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don’t need a ‘fourth’ outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.
Almost the entirety of computer graphics uses the z coordinate for depth afaik.
Even Minecraft does it.
Which one?
(Technically all the same, I know).
Element zapping is still a thing.
A TOS is not a liability shield. If Raine violated the terms of service, OpenAI should have terminated the service to him.
They did not.
I’ve heard of Zorin before. It’s been around for a while, but last I heard anything was years ago. There’s not been much hype or anything since.
He’s not named Adam, he only compares himself to the biblical Adam at some point.

The main reason for a store to sign up on a website would be:
The Fediverse, being decentralised, has a hard time implementing the latter two. The first is basically not much different than being discoverable on Google.
So fun as it sounds, it won’t be easy to implement. You’d likely have to have independent “shippers” and PSPs sign up to this, and somehow have webshops choose which to use. And that’s a very awkward structure for a Fediverse-minded solution.
