Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.
Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

Mihon has a setting to flash the display when changing pages to reduce ghosting on e-ink displays.
Which you shouldn’t use. E-ink refreshes are far more complex than simply flashing the screen a solid color, involving multiple steps to massage the e-ink in the panel into a sharp image. These are calculated and done by the e-ink display driver on any decent device, whenever the image on screen changes enough.
Mihon also does the flash out of sync with the actual display refresh (if it’s set to occur on tap), CAUSING ghosting, instead of reducing it.
If you can configure your e-ink device to do a full display refresh on tap, simply do that.
In Mihon, just disable animations, and let the e-ink display driver handle display refreshes.
Simon and Catherine are the two sides of the debate. The emotional response, and its conclusion. And the intellectual response, and its conclusion.
The people who killed themselves, landed somewhere in-between.
Catherine had already thought about it a ton before she was copied, and came to intellectual conclusions well in advancea.
Simon is experiencing the feelings involved, after he’s been copied. Worse, he’s the kind of person who thinks people have souls, something intrinsicly unique and irreproduciple. He may never get past his emotional response.
We hear him voice his opinion several times, that to him, there is only one soul. He refers to original Simon as “real” Simon. He actively avoids thinking about it too much because the conclusion he’d come to is that his current existence is “fake”. And you can tell that Catherine picks up on it, pushing the subject only when she has to. Even when she does explain, it’s not that he can’t understand the way she thinks about it. It’s that he won’t.
They also do several things in the story that discourages Simon from thinking about the copies as “real” even as he is one himself. After getting a password from a simulated copy of a mind, Simon wonders if they just killed a person several times over just to get a password. It goes unsaid, but he undoubtedly lands on the side he is more comfortable with. That the copies aren’t “real”.
Cathrine does manipulate Simon into being copied the second time. She avoids explaining it in a way that would offend him. Only doing so when she fails to hide what happened.
And then Simon comes up with a rationalization, the coinflip. That when you’re copied, there’s a coinflip on whether “you” end up on either side of the copy. Just so he can accept his current existence as valid.
If you’re on the intellectual side, that’s BS. You end up on both sides. Both copies are real.
But if you think the soul is real, then the coinflip must be how it works. That, or only the original was “real”. But to the Simon we play as in Soma, that is not an option he is willing to even think about.
I think it’s extremely good writing. I just pitied simon, I wasn’t able to hate him for reacting the way a normal person might.
He could’ve been nicer to Catherine, tho.
True AI will happen one day
You literally can’t know that.
Science isn’t even sure that if it does, we’ll be able to tell.
Right now, to me at least, “clanker” is used to dismiss the corporate desire to hook us all on socializing with their products, instead of our fellow peoples.
And in doing that, it is, today at least, a force for good.
If Putin wanted peace, he could have it tomorrow.
Literally just stop the invasion.
THE GOAL OF ALL LIFE IS DEATH
This is pretty clearly satire.
It’s sincere insencerity.
I’ve noticed this.
Anime can do stuff the media being adapted cannot. And it’s the exception rather than the rule, when a studio uses animation to push beyond the source material.
I’ve started being surprised when an anime is original, instead of an adaptation. And there is absolutely a difference when a story is made for animation.
Edit: thinking about it further, I think I’d call the difference a difference of “energy”.
Animation can show movement. Manga can only imply it. Even when manga does so very well, the budget required means adaptions often still end up being just a bunch of stillframes (cough one punch man).
Manga, hence, contains a lot of pages of people just talking. Because that’s how you tell a story. And even when story is told using amazing art panels, anime tends to just turn those into panned stills.
It’s kind of why I’ve gone back to manga, because then you get art you can take a momemt to actually take in at your own pace. The ability of recent anime to properly immerse seems to be suffering, at least for me.
Do we both get in the cage, or just one of us?

Helsinki?
Edit: No. At least not the bridge I was thinking of.
Did you miss the part where I wrote three additional paragraphs after the first?
The only reason I mention hard-drives, is to make the point SATA will continue to stick around, to be used in laptops desktops, and especially network storage.
Plenty of people are gonna want to plug in a SATA SSD into that “slot”.
No they’re not. SATA isn’t going anywhere. Hard drives are still the only option for truly massive amounts of affordable storage, and they won’t be fitting into the M.2 form-factor anytime soon.
If you want the middle ground, fast but not as expensive as NVME, SATA SSDs make perfect sense. Put em in raid and you can get speed, too. Not just size.
Not to mention that plenty of still perfectly usable motherboards and laptops still only have the one M.2 slot, so if you want more than one drive, any additional ones have to be SATA.
This WILL reduce supply, which WILL increase prices. For M.2 drives too, because people who could have gone straight for SATA, now have to buy M.2 and put it in an adapter.
Fucking great.
Nevermind that if you want a lot of storage in a ITX machine 2.5" sata drives is the only way to go. I’ve been wanting a second EVO 870 but the price is almost triple what I paid for the first one.
I edited my comment.
But if a couple gigs of storage will do, there is this: https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/
