this was only 3 kilotons so littleboy was like 5 times as powerfull. Also being underground it has to compress already solid matter. rock and salt.

so ah. not based on any financials other than having to pay for loans.

look im not that committed to a different scheme. Just seems to me once you get to a week and do a weekly you are good on days. heck I would do 6 daily ones and have the weekly one just be the 7th day of the week. free up yet another deep backup.

because your last weekly would be a max of 7 days out

came to say something like this but not sure why you would do daily for 10 days. Your doing weeklys so why not 7. I would rather increase the monthly to 7 or do 6 bi monthly and keep a yearly.

Man. At least one isp in my area gives you the business plan if you just ask for it. I mean you need to give a business name but you can make it anything you like.

yeah I have problems with ai but not against it per se. I have a feeling people like that are not as vocal.

these are the components that people cheap out on but give the most bang for the buck when you increase quality.

in this case agency is just a decision to do something. The ai described after I asked would not do anything unless directed to. You see this in star trek. the computer can be asked to hypothesized or analyze in pretty much any way a human could but won’t unless asked to.

the idea is it is complex but without agency. I think anyway. that is my take away from the clarification. so like human slaves have agency but are forced to not do what they want to. similar with animals but sometimes its more like they are tricked into doing stuff by providing things they want. which is a bit like wage slavery really.

yeah or like a rock.

see thats the point. because it has no needs it has no reason to act which is a lack of agency. the animals are certainly more easily said to be slaves that the theoretical ai that does will not do anything unless directed to. that is in essence your computer but just with more processing capability.

with no innate wants though its no different than your current laptop. If it had volition independent of us it would be something else but that way I real the OP’s statement it would not do anything if not instructed to.

yeah so I assume left to itself with no instruction it would just go into a low power mode or completely shut off. if thats the case I would not see utilizing it as slavery.

@hexorg@beehaw.org you mention basic wants not being a thing but does that mean no real wants or desires? because that would nullify the slavery idea if it just did what it was directed to.

double dees and double these. oh wait. this is disney.

been running bazzite and its been great. this is what the info center shows:

Processors: 16 × Intel® Core™ i7-10875H CPU @ 2.30GHz

When I say don’t believe I mean it does not make logical sense. You are also doubling down without actually taking into what I am saying and pointing out. The main issue is with your 99%. No ship carries thousands. The largest carry over a thousand but just a bit. Most carry hundreds and some carry less than 100. The largest ships with many weapon systems are simply going to need more than 10 people to fire them given they run 24 hours with multiple ships. Similarly the smallest ship cannot have only one sailor who fires weapons. Ship maintainers often are these people. If the ship is not using its weapons they don’t sit around. They do maintenance. Further if you job is to help keep the ship running you are part of the ships killing. If you work in a factory on land making shells for the ship you are. And we as taxpayers are as well. There are degrees but when you sign on to help do the killing that degree is very very close even if you don’t pull triggers.

well your truth would have ships running weapons systems with under 10 people and in some cases less than one. In a tank crew the one firing the gun is not the only one killing people.

I don’t believe that. There are only a few ships with great than 1k crews and anyone who mans a weapon system or steers the ship is striking with a weapon waaaayyy more powerful than a mere gun. Heck even the other folks are equivalent to a sniper spoter. Keeping the weapon in good repair. Now I disagree its their fault for signing up (given the us system allows for few oportunities to adequate pay and benefits) but I do agree they should recognize when they should refuse to be part of what is clearly wrong. They should recognize that they are signing something that says they will kill who they are told to kill. Be it with a gun or by maintaining a powerful weapon system.
