> so they are much more intelligent than I think they were
Pardon me, but we are talking about homo sapiens here?
Those people would be not different then you and me. If you would raise one of their child's today it would just blend in. They were/are the same species then you and me... I just want to say please don't ride that all cavemen were stupid apes train. That boot sailed a long time ago regarding to modern science.
Yes, but they didn't have art schools, museums, supplies and they didn't doodle in boring classes or meetings. They didn't have an "art tradition" - or at least not in the way we do now - they had invented it themselves.
If Rembrandt, Raphael or Warhol were born back then they wouldn't have had the cultural milieu to create the same things.

We know that good nutrition during childhood has a significant impact on IQ, as does avoiding parasite infections. Those ancients were the same species as us, but it is also known that that they likely suffered from food precarity at times and endemic infections, so the belief they had their shit less together than many modern populations is reasonable.
If they would have live as shitty as your train of thoughts then yes we as a species would have not survived.
Please have a look at how indigenous tribes live and cure the sick to get a feeling what it would have might be back 50k+ years.
What I got during Museum visits and talking with people working in academics those people had a pretty good living. Well feed and even major injuries were treated well.
> Well feed and even major injuries were treated well.
This is contradicted by any and all documentation on not only "indigenous tribes", but even developed countries until the age of antibiotics. Injuries were much riskier in the past than now, and no idyllic Shangri-La you fantasize about had any magic to avoid that. The food precarity of hunter-gatherer lifestyles is why so many societies adopted agriculture. Plus, infant mortality was through the roof, and risk to also mothers was high. I think you took from "Museum visits and talking with people working in academics [sic]" a misunderstanding that you wanted to hear.
That our species survived down the millennia does not mean they had maximized health, just as we today have not maximized health. But we have made greater strides in childhood IQ-relevant areas.
I wont blame you, but if you are interested, then have a look at recent documentaries about the topic. The German/French TV station "Arte" sometimes has the content in english too and other European languages.... They cover neolithic and bronze age quiet regular because we have many of these and other sites...
> For a long time, scientists assumed that the first artworks in human history originated in Europe around 40,000 years ago. Recently, however, cave paintings discovered on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi have challenged this assumption. Thanks to a new dating method, it has been revealed: one of the rock paintings is at least 67,800 years old.
The documentary is available in German and French only. Subtitles are available only in the aforementioned languages too. I used AI to make high-quality English subtitles from the official ones.
Think of that you want to Provision a "smart device" with just a computer and no router.
These link local addresses are quiet handy. But sadly the parsing of these with modern browsers is a flame war ever since. I assume that's the reason why we don't see its usage that often.
Another nice use case is to use these link local addresses in cloud environments...
Me too. Brought amd 3700x and 32 gb in 2020 and updated the GPU to a rx7800xt in 2024. Still no complains :cool:
And yes I will have to run this rig for another couple of years...
> I certainly don't think of IRC when I think of Internet radio.
Or you are certainly to young :)
Voting songs and the like on shoutcast/icecast stations via irc was not only common for gamers if my memory serves me well from the earliest 2000ths
Haha, I'm not too young for that, but I think that was a fairly fringe use case even then. Most people were never on IRC.
In the late 90s / early 2000s Internet radio would probably have made me think of RealPlayer, and shortly thereafter actual radio stations' own websites with embedded streams. Then I'd think of aggregators like the original iTunes, and now TuneIn.
Pardon me but you could have in many cases have cached the data.
I honor your strong commitment. I most often use digital because "it's easier" for them. But not for me. Sometimes I make fun and use printouts of their digital system just for the lulz.
But back to cached data. Most often the mobil application catches data upfront and still be valid later even offline. Just as a reminder. Peace.
