I’d probably say mundane ergonomics (eg.: how do your species use chairs, or if doors have knobs or bars) and general interpersonal processes: how does one find a mate, or raise a child in the setting, how are liars and cheaters treated, etc.
Not the spells, but how and why magic works in the first place.
Emphasis mine; interested here. What about working on the “why” do you like the best? Is it the work of placing in “inherent” limitations, or the lore that you can work behind it, etc?
What are those benefits? The only potential one I have direct experience with (besides speed) is that the connector is reversible, but even that’s small-time and a flat out objective downgrade compared to the circular connectors of the 90s, which could be plugged in regardless of orientation.
Sure, if you want; as long as whoever does that retrofits all my USB-A devices.
Wow hadn’t seen that image in a good while!
It changed my economy game.
Now I have to buy an USB-C to USB-A adaptor to plug USB-C stuff into my already standing devices. Honestly, no idea why didn’t they make it connector-compatible. Wasn’t that the entire point of the “U” in “USB”?
Reddit is going to transition to a right wing platform right before our eyes.

So basically they balked, went for a “more of the same”, then balked off that and went back? Can’t imagine why.
Then again XMPP / Jabber is so much easier to host, you can do it in the cheapest Linode VPS, yet communities don’t use it either.

…something… does not compute.
They didn’t even hand me a uniform or a qt cap, and they work with Node.js despite several warnings; I ain’t representing shit.
Congrats on keeping your cat active and engaged for 11 years!
Why don’t you speak what you truly believe instead of copy-pasting the same gaslighting everywhere? We already made you, anyway.
Ok, but I would say that these concerns are all small potatoes compared to the potential for the general public gaining the ability to query a system with synthesized expert knowledge obtained from scraping all academically relevant documents.
If any of that was actually true, yeah. But it’s not, it can’t be, and it won’t be.
As with all world-changing technology, “the general public” will never truly obtain its power, not until it has been well squeezed by the elites for gains. Not only that, “the general public” obtaining this power would be devastating on the simple physical principle that this kind of technology depends on ruining the ecology. And this whole “synthethized expert knowledge”… man, that’s three words that mean absolutely nothing when chained together because it’s all illusion: it’s not actual knowledge, it’s not expert, and it’s not even synthetized, at best it’s emulated. It’s all a tangle of lies and make-believes sold on bulk with zero accountability.
But sure, nice dream. I want a Lamborghini, too.
If you work for a company, you’re a representative of that company.
I’m not. Corporate is paying for my work (and barely, at that, given current rates), not for my ethics or for my ethical standing before other people who might not work at the company. If you believe otherwise, you might have been brainwashed by corporate-paid education.
So, lemme get this straight: Wikipedia is being censored (worldwide, might I add) because a party complains that they are reported of as being accused of a thing, or because of the thing itself?
Well, given the kind of company, it’s not like you’d obtain a consent if you asked. They’re too busy getting that Israeli money.
Magic and science can perfectly coexist. Magic is an attribute of the world, science is a process about the world.
Magic and technology on the other hand… my understanding that’s the usual clash. Magic is the death of technology (and, to an extent, vice versa).
It touches on how anime influences real-life travel.
Does it, tho? </thor-face>
Like, stuff like Gundam and Evangelion came out when I was a cute lil boy yet I still can’t ride a mecha to work.
Why am I researching theoretical math?
IMO, if you aren’t going to write two essays on theoretical math and on metaphilosophy of identity, then what are you even adding magic to a story for.
Or at least, any magic that is “actually magic” and not just "quantum fields flavour of the week™.
