The medevac is scary. This could cost lives. Hopefully there's a reason but, given how clumsy this admin is, who can say?

I guess it depends on your definition of "fluid" intelligence, though I was bad with both of them in my 20s.

But that's not following the saying - it's still not proving , it's modifying the rule. It shifts the rule from "birds can fly" to "most birds can fly". Pointing out that penguins can't fly doesn&#

Seems to be a bad use of "racist".

The export itself is also sloppy, with characters like equal signs being added in weird places. Seems like they have it set to cast a wide and poorly set up net.

It's hilariously revealing that it keeps redacting "Don't".

What's your plan, be present at all major events?

This administration doesn't seem to see value in soft power.

That's a lot of assumptions, and really only make sense if you're trying to put your own beliefs as the "correct" choice. Somehow, all these other cultures got it wrong, but the ones who believe one single god, they got

by SketchySeaBeast 9mo ago
But that framing only really works if we assume a Abrahamic world view. Other cultures don't and didn't relate to their deities in the same way. Do we then have to assume they all suffered lower life satisfaction than a 11th cent

That's immaterial to the discussion. The comment I replied to simply stated: "Displacing God as the center of life." They aren't arguing that god matters, it's our displacement of them. So, on the existence of god

Yeah, that seems to be a better conclusion - that we're not built with enough sophistication to deal with everything we're currently dealing with. But I think that's also due to the fact that the things we're dealing wi

"Midwit"? Rude.

Does it matter? Based upon the poster I responded to, it appears to be only the belief that's important, not the being.

Man, what does that say about the human race if we're only able to be happy under the dubious eye of a supranatural daddy?

That article appears to be stuck behind a paywall, so I can't speak to it. That's good for now, but considering the federal push to prevent states from creating AI regulations, and the overall technological oligopoly we have going

Why would that be the case if we assume the grid prioritizes the data centers?

Every time I hear stuff like this I think of Tim Curry just barely keeping it together during that one cut scene in Red Alert 3, except this time it's the ultra capitalists trying to corrupt space with capitalism. https://ww

My cynical take is that it'll works out just fine for the data centers, but the neighbouring communities won't care for the constant rolling blackouts.

> invoking “illegal in some states” -- without naming conduct and statute -- is just noise. Ok, sure[1]. I don't know why I am, but I'm surprised people are going to bat for this. Where is your line, exactly? Is it legality?

I would say it's probably less "US healthcare bad" and more "US healthcare is bimodal".

You're right, we must be accurate in our terms, but that misclassifcation isn't worse than the act itself. The generation of deepfake non-consensual sexual images isn't revenge porn, because the woman in the image didn't

I would be very surprised if most people get vitamin d levels measured annually.

On one side, sure, there's "overly paternalistic" moderation, but, on the other, there's AI powered revenge porn running rampant, so I'd argue there should be at least some moderation.

Regardless, it was weird to try to convert that into a "I paid" check-mark.

I don't think anyone has a single agreed upon number for the water consumption, with the higher estimates focusing on a lot of wider externalities and the lower estimates ignoring them, such as ignoring the cost of training.
