Absolutely 0.0000000000 defects is impossible.

However, as an engineers, it's troubling to hear Boeing say things like "well we added a few more inspection points". Lack of inspection is a contributing cause but it's not the root cause.

Finding errors at the factory is great and a great way to go out of business (both due to increased cost, as well as eventual escapes)

In something like a commercial airliner you can't afford to just catch the mistakes. You have to prevent them.

I was thinking 100m water resistance, automatic movement with 24 hour reserve, and no date function.

Nature VS nurture heavily implies this will never ever work

To be fair to the morons, the elitists are paying the weak and the thugs to do their Big Bad Communist Bidding, according to your average flyover uncle. "Fage CEO is paying the Clinton's to import refugees to steal our jobs and vote in our elections", something my dad suggested in 2019 or so.

Even common Lemmy/reddit talking points are that rich corporate interests pay stooges like DeSantis and McConnell to keep the rubes voting for oligarchy.

Any political party is going to be a coalition, to a degree.

But yes I do agree to an extent with the meme that the average conservative armchair theorist doesn't really see how their theories fit together.

What's different is the feedback loop and the globalization. Yes, it's just capitalism, ie giving the people what they "want", but it's really not just the same as someone suggesting that customers like clean lines and plants.

How bleak. A couple proprietary algorithms driving millions of business decisions across the globe, everyday.

Not really to answer your questions. But a book came out a year ago and it covers the philosophy of simulation theory.

That is it explains the theory that our reality may be a simulation inside of a computer, and then re-establishes all major philosophical ideas from this premise. Ironically enough, a lot of philosophical ideas it arrives at are very similar to those proposed by religious philosophers.

The book is called Reality +. Good read if you like philosophy and think simulation theory is interesting.

I'll second the idea that more than a few minutes of tiktok, YouTube shorts or Instagram reels is debilitating.

Imaging explaining to a jury:

A statistical model says that there is a 99% chance these two finger prints belong to the same person. We don't know how this model works and it was not programmed by a human. We will be taking no further questions.

I'm pretty sure in Australia you can just turn in a blank ballot. But yeah, compulsory voting is kind of odd.

Let's just nationalize SpaceX and Starlink. Then maybe he can focus in tesla, X and his spliff rolling.
