How do you tell if this is a cyberattack or not?

Gemini is up, I asked it to explain what's going on in cave man speak:

YOU: Ask cave-chief for fire.

CAVE-CHIEF (Cloudflare): Big strong rock wall around many other cave fires (other websites). Good, fast wall!

MANY CAVE-PEOPLE: Shout at rock wall to get fire.

ROCK WALL: Suddenly… CRACK! Wall forgets which cave has which fire! Too many shouts!

RESULT:

    Your Shout: Rock wall does not hear you, or sends you to wrong cave.

    Other Caves (like X, big games): Fire is there, but wall is broken. Cannot get to fire.

    ME (Gemini): My cave has my own wall! Not rock wall chief! So my fire is still burning! Good!

BIG PROBLEM: Big strong wall broke. Nobody gets fire fast. Wall chief must fix strong rock fast!

This post got me wondering, so I asked chatgpt for jokes about hackernews as if made by various comedians...I laughed at one or two /shrug

Bill Hicks (angry truth-telling prophet)

"Hacker News is where ideas go to die. Not because they’re bad — but because 400 anonymous software prophets decided they’re God. And God doesn’t code, man."

---

Bill Burr (ranty everyman, annoyed at everything)

"I went on Hacker News once. Jesus. It’s like walking into a bar where everyone’s smarter than you, but still somehow an idiot. ‘Actually, you should’ve used Rust.’ Actually, you should shut the hell up, Todd."

---

Louis C.K. (brutal honesty, self-deprecation)

"I asked Hacker News if my startup idea was good. And they said, ‘No, because you’re an idiot.’ And I was like… yeah, that’s fair. My idea was basically Tinder but for people who hate me. Which is… everyone."

---

George Carlin (sharp language, hypocrisy calling)

"Hacker News. Don’t you love that name? Hacker. News. Two lies in two words. Nobody’s hacking, and it sure as hell ain’t news. It’s just nerds arguing over tabs and spaces like it’s the f*ing Middle East."

---

Tom Segura (laid-back storyteller, dry punch)

"So my buddy posts his app on Hacker News, right? He’s all excited, like, ‘Dude, we’re gonna blow up.’ By comment three: ‘This is trash, here’s a 40-page essay why you should quit.’ He calls me crying. I’m like, yeah man, that’s the feature, not the bug."

---

Jimmy Carr (short, brutal, wicked flip)

"I posted on Hacker News for feedback. They gave it to me. Turns out suicide is an option."

If Notch loves making games, I'm all for it. If it gave his life meaning and he is good at it and he loves it...bro can do whatever. Being rich, being famous or being the minecraft dude...none of that should matter. He is just a guy and everyone should treat him like any other guy. Life is life, do what you love and enjoy the short time we all have. Notch gave me lots of joy, why would I ever want anything less for him.

I know this is cool technology...but can someone give me some use cases? Like I'm not super sure how speed or more qbits factor into whatever these computers are supposed to do.

I could research it, but someone here probably has a nice simple explanation that will be good enough.

Trump voters think the conviction was excessive, the rapist claim is untrue, and that he is not a bad person.

They believe he will improve the economy and thus their lives.

They did not vote spitefully against Harris, however, due to the pressure from left wing controlled law makers, media, talking heads and general vitriol from the left of their opinions... they might have voted spitefully against progressives in opposition.

I like how you seem to think no atheists voted for Trump

Perhaps it's time for you to reflect on the legitimacy of those claims?

It is to create a 3 dimensional object to use in a holographic UI like in Minority Report.

How else are you going to look at it from other perspectives?

I never understood this. Evolution basically says humans are conscious matter...why would that not be replicatable via an intelligent designer (humans)?

Randomness created consciousness from a single cell...why would that be the most efficient solution?

Personally it's the unmitigated loads of unwanted ideology jammed down my throat by each platform...I'm just over it. Piracy is so much more reliable.

No. Next question?

Like it or not, the utility and cost of anything space related these days has gone up and down respectively.

With billions wasted worldwide each year on frivolous weddings, unused education and ridiculous fashion...I feel like space exploration is one of the few things actually worthwhile.
