  Hi does anyone know if there's a way of getting the studio to work on a chromebook?
Thanks

Hi,

“Chromebook” is rather vague as that term covers a rather wide range of machines
and capabilities, so this won’t work or won’t be usable on all chromebooks but
if you can run Wine on it, and if your machine is powerful enough (say, at least
a 4 digits score on https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ ), you can run Studio on it.
See this forum¹ thread https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?t=7920

(How to be able to run Wine on your chromebook isn’t covered / is left as an
exercise to the reader.)

  Just read an article declaring the very real possibility of AI chatbots being
able to guide us in controlling our lucid dreams, foremost in order to explore
lost memories. Can you imagine the potential in that, I hardly can. Not just
the for the obvious therapeutic benefits, but the possibility of accessing more
of the remaining 86% (on average) of the human brain never before utilized.

The potential of building neural networks into that vast region of virgin space,
considering that the utmost complex entity known, still is the human brain. Imagine
then the possibilities of using more of it.

Though don't know just how close that achievement practically is, they're
somewhat vague with that info. But just the idea of it seriously being explored...

Going to pull a later incoming order, before exploring that lucid dream control

~Goodnight

For me, what's more exciting is the prospect of expanding our neural pathways
into the vast spaces of the brain where the yet inexplicably dense population
of neurons are without synapses. And of course I'm not referring the so-called
"100% use" of the brain, by area. But rather the densely packed spaces
of cell potential throughout the entire brain.

Brain mass not area, iow.

Take in some of this

Also inside the box there where some uncataloged magazines, so some set notes

I love finding old boxes, that is probably the only known example in that condition!

Noce condition and i have about 50 canadian boxes. I think you would call them
extremely rare if you owned them. A few of them are also sealed too. How would
you describe them?

Super rare! Do you know how perfect the circumstances need to be for a set to
stay sealed for that long

Hmmmm maybe 2 generations of Lego crazy fans who owned 2 of every set that they
Bought 1 to build and the other to stash away for 50 years

Well that’s what people do now although back then LEGO wasn’t crazy popular
or expensive.🧐

  
  
  
  And a few of them are truly rare, like blister samsonite sets.

Awesome!!! Now I see how you are able to make so many inventory change requests
on old sets

  
  To be honest, canadian boxes are not that year but i would be excited likewise
each time i obtaine one. 😀

They are hard to find so it’s always nice to see one.

  
  Not sure if you own the instruction but if you do, check the year printed on
the foot print 1975 and tell me why its copy right year is two years earlier
than the official released set.

1975

Interesting, did not know that.

The instructions where there but about half of them where gone

  I have been doing some research into the LEGO movies to see if they are worth

But I have extracted all the info available, and I can’t figure out why the LEGO
movie 2 failed.

So what are your thoughts about the second part?

I picked up a copy of the LEGO movie at the thrift store, so I’ll be watching
that. (you know “testing” to see if the disc is good)
I’ll give my opinion when I’m done.

I can see that being used for brainwashing in the future.

Very good point. Thought about that too. But after pondering the article, decided
to focus instead on the better angels of our character

I hope this is used for good, but with all the evil people in the world I’d rather
not control my dreams(not worth the potential loss.)

And btw, not that it would assuage your concerns much, but just to be fair: the
article spoke of it's use as a "guide" to aide an individual in controlling
their own dreams in search of so-called 'lost' memories, basically suppressed
memories. Actually very exciting potential in this application of AI, when/if
we ever get there

In search of lost memories? Why is my big question, is all this really necessary?

If we're beginning there, with that question, you'll need to first do
some work yourself in understanding the significance of accessing suppressed
memories, especially to the mental health profession. Which is just a starting
point for such a consequential technology, should it be realized.

You raised a disturbing possibility given it's potency in the wrong
hands, understandable. But now imagine that same potency in other hands making
ours lives better, advancing humanity. Powerful tools are not to be feared if
human nature is fully understood, imho.

Take care now

I like your positivity towards the idea, and I would be excited too, but with
the state of leadership and the crookedness of the mental health profession I
can’t see this going too far in the right direction. I really wish it could
just be used for good but it unfortunately won’t be.😔

It’s just like the guy back in the 80’s who figured out how to make a vehicle
go 1000 miles on 1 gallon of diesel, what happened to him? He mysteriously died,
and his idea was censored.

Hi there,

I don't often chime in, but read the forums voraciously on a daily basis.

I take exception to the blanket generalized statement of "the crookedness
of the mental health profession."

As a registered nurse working in pediatric psychiatry, I and my colleagues hold
ourselves to a high standard of care and carry an appreciation and understanding
for the lives and context of the children and families that we connect with on
a daily basis. It is an imperfect system because there are imperfect humans
involved (on both sides of the healthcare process), but it is a profession to
which I am proud to work in.

As you well should be. It's an honorable profession, one which my daughter
is a part of.

I admit that my reply did not take into account that portion of Saitobricks.ca's
post. Which to be completely clear, I do not concur with nor fully understand.

Well, if it helps to clear things up, it’s their tendency to diagnose someone
as mentally ill when, it is more deep than that.

I see. Anecdotal conclusion?
