Nah. You are assuming a red blood cell is a common size. It'd be like aliens coming to Earth, seeing Humans, and assuming life's average scale is that of a human on this planet.

There is a MASSIVE scale of difference between cells of different animals. Some cells can be seen with the naked eye. That doesn't magically mean other animal cells have to also be large.

There are entire living organisms that are smaller than Titin. Several species of eukaryotes are smaller than Titin, and they're single celled orgsnisms by definition. A single celled organism smaller than a human blood cell by an order of magnitude.

That says nothing of prokaryotes, which are also celled organisms that are multiple orders of magnitude smaller still.

Again, it's amazing only because you assume humans aren't fucking insanely huge. An understandable perspective for sure, but a wrong perspective none the less.

Exactly. I don't know why I'm being downvoted for describing the thing we all agree happens...

I don't blame the students for not being seasoned professionals. I clearly blame the executives that constantly replace seasoned engineers with fresh hires they don't have to pay as much.

Then everyone surprise pikachu faces when crap is the result... Functionally idiots is absolutely correct for the reality we're all staring at. I am directly part of this industry, so this is more meant as honest retrospective than baseless namecalling. What happens these days is idiotry.

Again, it is amazing ... but because we cannot fathom how big it still is.

I'd give you a Vulkan, "neat, curious even, but not mind blowing", as to what I mean a truly aware response would be.

It's neat, but if you're aware of the developmental stages of even just human babies, it's really not surprising nor unique as to how small something with such differentiated parts is.

Probably because all the dummies are finally realizing it's a fucking stupid slogan that's constantly being misinterpreted from what it's supposed to mean. lol (as if the dummies even realize it has a more logical interpretation...)

Now if only they would complete the maturation process and realize all of the tech bro bullshit runs counter to good engineering or business...

So they're more of just skill sets (lol obviously).

I guess my mental dissonance came from you saying "it's a class, not a job ...", when naturally, skill sets are critically important to jobs! I guess a bit of a Venn diagram type confusion. lol Saying "not" about overlapping circles can get interesting with interpretations.

Microsoft might prove that one wrong if they keep enshittifying Windows.

lol you're just plain wrong on that. Apple fans these days are like you: They make fun of everyone outside of their group instead of the products themselves, because you all understand you won't ever be winning an objective argument.

Exactly.

It's like the Golden Rule version of the Paradox of Tolerance. If someone would demonstrably never extend you the courtesy, then you should have no obligation to extend said courtesy first.

Only a fool attempts to welcome an invading army in.

Well, it's not bad in and of itself. It sucked in Titanfall because straight up campaign dialogue was playing on top of fast paced FPS gameplay. Get your goal done but still under fire and running for your life with bullets flying everywhere? Don't care!! Here's 30 seconds of dialog you cannot even hear...

Of course it's easy to err the other direction and have all the dialog utterly destroy the pacing of action, too.

It's why I specifically mentioned FPS games. It's no big deal to sit around conversing or just watching stuff unfold for 10 minutes in an RPG. Do that in an FPS game that happens to have a deep story, then you better hope you've properly telegraphed to the audience that the action is over for a while!

It would depend entirely on how it was phased out. If it's straight up now totally illegal, they'd have to shut down or change product. If it's just becoming a restricted chemical, they'd have to attain licenses or some other form of permission and likely find new customers since I doubt you'd be able to sell to the general public.

I'm sure there are good and bad examples of how governments handled it all throughout history... Even recent history. Which country had the dumbass that basically made extrajudicial and vigilante killings of drug dealers legal? If such a turn happened for my product in such a country, I'd be closing up shop pretty fast if my product was made illegal...

Cocaine itself would likely be more under the "just shut down" side, since refining plants and stuff is a bit less transferrable of a skill/process than, say, chemistry skills and tools for cooking meth. Though that's an assumption, because I don't know the process! Maybe it'd be easy to switch to a different product.

No. No it doesn't, ALL human-like behavior stems from its training data ... that comes from humans.
