I like this idea. Tell me if it ever goes anywhere.

One theory about nightmares is that they serve as exposure therapy for stressors. If your nightmares are too extreme, maybe you could set aside during the day to enter a calmer environment and try to review them without getting overwhelmed. It might desensitize you a little bit and make them less severe.

I haven’t had severe nightmares since I was a preteen, but when I did, they tended to be pretty stressful (being kidnapped, being abandoned, my friends commiting suicide in front of me, etc). I’m not sure exactly why they stopped, but I eventually ‘burnt out’, and I just stopped really caring about them.

Can’t say I turned out great, but I can say I don’t have nightmares anymore.

Am I the only one who finds these comics smug?

I often have to catch myself from assuming people I see toe-walking are autistic. I went to physical therapy as a teen (ironically, I went for heel-walking) and so many kids there just came because they toe-walked.

iirc, this board isn’t nearly as interesting as it seems. You can’t actually do any multiprocessing, because only one CPU can be activated at a time. So you can’t actually leverage the two CPUs to do anything that each CPU couldn’t do on it’s own.

There’s an uncountably infinite range of numbers between 1 & 2. OP is still wrong though. If you existing has some non-zero probability, there must be an infinite number of you, since any positive number multiplied by infinity is infinity.

Whom is this directed to?

You’re right. Troi’s and Data’s hands are messed up, Data has unreal wrinkles on his forehead, the shadow on Picard’s neck seems to be a dent, and of course, Troi’s nose has a different camera angle on either side.

I only vaguely really know what's going on. I did some more research after commenting, and I think I understand a little bit more. The TI bubble memory has two separate layers. On of them, the 'magnetic epitaxial film', basically has a lot of magnetic molecules arranged to point in the same direction. The second layer has circles made of some nickel-iron alloy. What I think is happening is that the actual magnetic bubbles are held on the film, and the iron circles act as tracks the bubbles are pulled along. I don't think electrons in the bubble are actually moving, but I think the electron spin is. That would explain why the loops are capable of moving the bubbles faster than electrons.

Just from a quick Google search, it looks like it's similar to tape memory, except the data moves along the tape, instead of the tape moving over the reading head. According to diagram by TI, it looks like the bubbles are on some iron wafer and forcibly moved around by two coils. Then, on a second substrate there are some type of read & write head.

So here's how I would go about this: first, I'd wrap some small metal plates in insulated magnet wire, place two permanent magnets on the top and bottom (sandwich style) and stick a read head on the edge of the plate. Then you push AC current through the two coils offset by 90 degrees. This should push the bubble in a circle, and that can be read by the tape head.

Keep in mind though, this is a complete guess based on a simplified diagram from the 70s. I don't actually know if this is how they work.

90% of social interaction is basically guessing what the other person wants to hear. Being 'good' at socializing is more about performance than actual substance. Small talk is the perfect example, you say a lot of words to say nothing in particular.

There are actually two standards here. Kibibytes was introduced later as a way to reduce confusion cause by the uninitiated thinking the JEDEC standard refered to powers of ten instead of two. That’s why I’m saying that 64 kilobytes is equal to 2^16 bytes, because that’s what the original standard was.

If you ever find anything, please tell me. I have a lot of arguments, but nobody to argue with.

I still use mb and kb as 1024 instead of 1000, because I prefer to not have units switched around from under me. 2^16 will always address 64kb, not 65.

This is definitely real and not propaganda because the Chinese economy is in a huge downturn.

Do you mean AI in the modern sense, like neural networks, or AI in the traditional sense? As far as I’m aware, the first neural-ish AIs were cybernetic. Before that the only generally programmable computers were electromechanical.

Instead of a golden calf, it’s a bronze bull.

Probably Ultima ratio regum, found it on tig source, I have no idea how to actually play it, but it’s got big ambitions and is already pretty impressive. https://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=22176.0
