Social pressure from a local group is one thing. From a global group, selected by algorithm for unknown reasons, another thing entirely.

How is parental education going for "don't do drugs" or "don't commit crimes"?

Puberty blockers are risky and can have non-reversible consequences. Your wishing them not to doesn't change that fact. Plus, on top of the medical risks, starting on puberty blockers will make confused kids who didn't need them

You keep conflating adults with children. It's not the same. Nobody cares what adults do. They do have agency over their own life and I defend their freedom to fuck themselves up in the most creative way they can think up. But don&#x

You're damn right children can't consent to anything! That is exactly the point! Which is why the parents are the ones in charge, and why it's alarming that for irreversible sterilizing and life-altering procedures they&#x

Puberty blockers themselves are not free of risk of irreversible damage, as you very well know. And if you had to bet money, if I told you some kid started on puberty blockers, what would be the odds they later got surgery or further irreve

Let me spell it out, maybe it helps somebody else: - "Communists" is shorthand for "envious losers who'd rather destroy society than improve themselves". "Elite overproduction" is what you want to google.

If I believed all those dysphoria cases were real and not social contagion I would. But I don't, so I don't.

Nope. What's you explanation then for why literally nobody cared about adult trans people just a few years ago? The difference with the others is that you can stop liking dumb edgy stuff when you grow up, but you can't grow new t

No. It's all about children. Nobody cares what adults do between themselves. Nopbody did, nobody does. Read all those "panic" stories again. It's about the children. Leave them alone.

Illegal to do it for children . Nobody had or has any problem with what consenting adults do.

There was no problem anywhere in the world until they came for the children.

They are a type of procedure with irreversible life-altering consequences that somehow you think children can consent to.

One complaint he has is "It doesn't know to ask the right questions". Well, the prompt was to give diagnoses, not questions. Ask GPT for the follow up questions first, then the diagnoses. This is fascinating in that, because

The article you link says that a component will rerender when its parent rerenders or state changes. It doesn't say anything about the props changing. If you read this sentence "In normal rendering, React does not care whether &q

"Lying to ourselves" is arguably one of the main functions of our brains, and one of the reasons we ended up with such big brains at all. Who would object to using this built-in capability for positive purposes for once? Baffling

What do you mean? When props change the component re-renders, doesn't it?

by MrPatan 4y ago
Indeed. React was a welcome innovation because it enabled V=f(S). That's it. The vDom was fast enough that it made re-rendering your view on every state change possible. Now you don't have to worry about rendering, you describe
