  • I recently asked a friend of mine something similar and i will add it here for the sake of discussion.

    We need to fulfill our basic needs in order to be happy and content with life. There are 3 basic/main categories:

    1: bodily needs: better diet, exercise etc.

    2: mental needs: intellectual conversation/pondering, reading/writing a book, even playing some video games etc.

    3: spiritual needs: religion/hope for a better time and better place

    I would also add one more,

    4: social needs: spending time with friends and family, doing something for the community, relationships and dating etc.

    Since my friend and I are religious, 3 makes sense on its own. But you might need to think about what it means to you. Imo the most important part is having hope.

    Personally for me, its 1 and 4 that i struggle the most with. And in the end, its okay to be wrong and try different things and formulas to find what works best for you.

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! You live and you learn!




  • So you know how you have dna? Well dna converts into amino acids and long chains of amino acids are called proteins. Proteins are the real workers in our body.

    But you might think, if you knew the dna sequence, you know it all, correct? Not really. You see, dna is only 1 dimensional data. A lot of the information about the functions of a protein comes from its structure.

    So really, if you have a correct dna converted into amino acid chain (a protein), it still needs to be in the correct shape or folding in order for it to function.

    Prions are incorrect foldings of amino acid which obviously do not work. But whats more is that, when these folded structures come in contact with other functioning proteins, they can turn them into incorrect folding as well.

    Since these proteins are still your own (ie they still came from your dna) the immune system doesn’t quite work on them like it would on a foreign substance like bacteria or virus.






  • But you know for the olympics, the government really needed the extra surveillance cameras after all wouldn’t you want everyone to be safe? And who hates the sports? I mean we all love them and its good for us and it’s good for the economy as well. And it will put our country on the world map, and there will be so many tourists, after all we love tourists and diversity, wouldn’t that be nice?

    And just imagine oh imagine if one of the terrorists got here pretending to be a tourist, and ruin everything. You wouldn’t want them to ruin all the fun? Would you?

    So you see the government really really needs to tighten the security by adding these surveillance cameras, and rest assured it will use all the latest technologies to help YOU be SAFE. /s


  • That’s good marketing. OpenAI recently went for profit on steroids. They are increasing chatgpt plus price, they backed out of providing free credits to startups, they also made it so Sam Altman would have full control over the company (basically non-profit board is no longer involved).

    Not to mention sama first made outrageous claims about how he needs a crazy amount of energy for AI training and now that MS and other governments are starting to fulfill those requirements, he is changing the goal post to even more outrageous claims. Like literally he said if the world does not do this, there will be wars fought over AI in the future and only rich people will have access to AI.
