@MelissaBearTrix not likely to have been fertilised. So probably not an embryo.

Quelle surprise.

That is indeed the catch. Wake me when I can run these agents locally.

How to run #PySpark on Windows.

1. Install it using `pip`
2. Make sure you're using Java 17 or Java 21. It won't work with Java 25.
3. Do _not_ fuck around with Hadoop Winutils, no matter how many articles or pieces of LLM "advice" you get about it.

@RickiTarr indeed. Does wealth make people evil? Is it just easier to get that wealthy if you’re evil? Is there a feedback loop there?

@emmadavidson They don't need customers. They've got all the assets they can possibly want, and far more than they actually need. They'll set up a servile elite that they provide a comfortable quality of life for, and let everyone else hang.

Which is pretty much what happened for a lot of human history anyway.

@MelissaBearTrix I dunno.

I read this as "We did something" (invaded Gaza, killed tens of thousands of civilians, and all this after decades of dehumanising and exterminating Palestinians) "and now people hate us".

I am looking forward to this movie so much.

It's either going to be the best movie I'm likely to see this year, or the greatest disappointment... ;)

Remember: the founders of YouTube pivoted from building a shitty dating app towards video hosting because they couldn't (easily) find copies of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction...

I've got to say - the precedent set for this case will be impressive.

Mostly in determining if a non-credible threat of violence is considered a crime or not.

If it is, the NSW police force are going to be busy...

@marick the oldest three parallel ideas I know about is “veni, vidi, vici”.

So not English only.

@static It's also a solution to Xeno's arrow paradox. The arrow eventually hits the moving target simply because there's a limit break into how fine you can divide space (and, with the Planck time constant, time).

Of course, a much more practical proof that Xeno's arrow paradox is a fallacy is a philosopher shot through with an arrow. (Ethical philosophy refuses to shoot tortoises or poison cats)

People keep dissing this, but it managed to beat out "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Urdr-Hunt — Path of the Little Challenger", which aired on _34_ screens and only made USD$361 per screen.

So there's that.

(Yeah, I know - I'm using USD, but the site I'm looking at gives it in USD, not AU, even though it's for Australian cinema)
