I would reckon looking at these kinds of things through religious lenses is actually VERY useful. I don't follow sportsball, but there are masses of population and massive institutions that are built upon for and on sportsball. So, se

I wonder if regions that do this will see obvious signs of improvement that signal to the masses that "hmmm, maybe it IS worthwhile to compensate labor fairly and not just the gamblers at the top". And that novel, groundbreaking i

Thanks for this, I've been needing winter boots but hate how much tread they have as I am a minimalist and my feet always end up so sore from them.

Yes yes, shoot mothers in the face in her car. Grab human beings from their homes and detain them thousands of miles away with no due process. Send human beings to detention camps in another country NOT the one they are from Please, people,

This is my go-to strategy as well. When I feel irrepressible bits of loneliness or depression, I just make some food and go out and start handing out to the needy. Or go for a walk and find people that need a hand. People moving, lifting th

This is really cool, and I wonder if there's a way to do this with the home renovations/ construction side of things. Might be something to look into.

Oof. I feel this. Especially the "easy things" bit. What an absolute waste of my time and focus to waste on trivial things that will just be measured against some standard, stale rubric. Busy work for myself and the person receivi

Weed helped me for a moment, but I had to use the right kind. So much of it right now is do high in THC that it made things worse. It had to be a good mix of THC and CBD and other terpines for the entourage effect. I realized also that inge

I've taken it a step further and just operate on the notion that we weren't really meant to be "office drones". This lifestyle is new for humans. We used to need people that were aware of their surroundings and able to c

But like, that's the thing isn't it? You're dying. Why cling to false narratives of "efficiency" and "output". Be human. Be not bot.

Oh what a wish indeed. But I cannot hear it over the millions of snide remarks of "but how can we profit".

I like this idea. But it should be a separate entity for robustness's sake. Let's make it! We'll even hold weekly live video/audio discussions on each paper for it's lifetime. Let the errant and emerging thoughts of

I don't like how we talk about humans as factories either. That we re all here to be a "productive" as possible. That are life is measured in how much crap we produced. I would love for this same ethos to spread to other doma

I tend to agree. I'm certain neanderthals were just calmer, more empathetic. And then we came along and abused that until they were all gone. We're still animals on this planet. We just sing about our conquests afterwards.

And yet, when we make bad calls or do illogical things, because of hormones, emotions, energy levels, etc we still calling it reasoning. But, to LLMs we don't afford the same leniency. If they flip some bits and the logic doesn't

All his replies in this thread are this false kneejerk boomerism. Sad, sick people. No empathy. No heart.

My guy, stop with this false point. You're smarter than this. Deep down you know it's not true and it's not being used this way. Clean yourself and your soul.

Ummmm governments do it all the time to poor people. No? From limiting what kinds of food they can buy and what they can spend money on. Did you mean, "you can't tell wealthy people what to do with their money"?

Yeah, I figured a camera oriented solution would probably be the simplest way to actually implement, especially for copying the writing over. A loooong time ago I had one of those notebooks (rocketbook I think) that you would take a picture

I really like your ideas and send you support energy if you ever want to pursue these. I also have ideas for creating such spaces and just the other day I fantasized about a building I saw rent. Fwiw, if you earn USD, the "developing w

As an avid GIMPer for ~12 years now, I hate the UI. It's only fine because I've struggled through it for so long and now I know where and how things are. But it's really poorly designed and outdated. I completely understand a

Not entirely sure about macros, but batch editing is possible with scripts/plugins. The multiple window thing is also a toggle setting.

A physical board that translates digitally. Imagine a whiteboard that has sticky notes, writing, little tokens and trinkets and the board also becomes a digital version that you can iterate on. I really like to plan with my hands and in MY

There's something about having so many planners online/digital that sucks. I want to plan, but I don't want to be on the computer yet. But if I plan non-digitally, it's slower, I can't copy/paste, and then I do

HN particularly has this "let me critique their writing style and write them off because of it" kind of undercurrent to every blog thread. I guess it's just the way programmers operate, the text is just code, and they don&#x2

Have you tried notebooklm at all? I'm actually pretty astonished by it's audio overviews and the insights/summaries it's able to do. Of course, with the right prompt massaging. But it's actually really really well d

You know, I think that might certainly have something to do with it, but I've also noticed that anytime I'm using tech (video call/voice call) the conversation is at a much faster pace. It's as though the natural state o

Because they have to constantly pull the slot machine lever on the ai video generator. Never quite getting what they want with the word salad prompt.
