Catholic nuns and religious were some of the first and only to help gay men during the AIDS crisis, so your moral pearl clutching is somewhat hyperbolical. Yes the church has particular moral beliefs you disagree. Join the club.

It shouldn't be offensive. The assessment is accurate. I used to think computers 'degraded' and got slower and worse over time. It always seemed weird to me since logically, the silicon is there. However, when you run a prope

I don't think nvda has ever pushed the idea that ai is too powerful for regular people. That's the anthropics and openais of the world.

I'm responding to the general expectation that America will deploy resources . You cite article 5. America is expected to intervene whether article 5 is involved or not

God forbid an American have a US-centric PoV. The use of these sorts of cliches to shut down debate is exactly the reason why even Americans who are not fans of Trump are just kind of 'meh' about the entire thing. If anything, T

Trump is nuts, but he is broadly correct that the world expects the benefits of American statehood without the responsibilities and reduction in autonomy. Yes, I realize this arrangement benefits the United States, but on the other hand, th

I mean, yes. An easy one that is omnipresent is that Canada mandates Canadian radio stations to play a certain amount of Canadian content giving advantage to Canadian artists Of course this is fine... Countries should protect their industri

They have everything but the will power. As annoying as I find Trump he is correct that everyone expects American boys and girls to be willing to die on their behalf while doing basically nothing to prevent war. For example, Germany now exp

India has no trade deal. Trump announced they did without signing anything. He just makes shit up and people believe him. India still buys oil from Russia

Parenting is work, but it's straightforward. People obsess and fuss over the kids.

The majority of Indians are involved in farming. In developed countries it's like three percent of the work force directly involved in farming. The job of farming is completely different in India versus developed nations. In developed

You don't need the majority of your population in farming to feed your people. In developed countries basically no one does farming. Farmers are technologists who operate vast fleet of machines to do the bulk of the work for them and w

Parenting is easy. Kids don't need the fussy obsessiveness that has become characteristic of modern parneting.

It shouldn't be hard though. For me personally, I'm mostly friends with other dads with kids and I do my hobbies (music, rock climbing, skiing) with my kids. It's not that difficult.

This is something that makes me really sad, because as an extremely ambitious man, I've found it difficult to make friends with men who are similarly ambitious. It seems that everyone gives up once they have a kid and becomes a helicop

Yeah but not at rates significant for a large aerobic expenditure. Fat is how the body stores energy and you can burn fat but you cannot convert fat to sugar fast enough at the end of a long run.

Being active is great but fat is still dangerous. Let's not lie to ourselves. > decided that I wanted to err on the side of overeating The reason you bonk is because you've run out of sugar in your muscles not fat

A lot of metabolic stuff is due to insulin and insulin sensitivity. This drives pretty much everything. Insulin sensitization is pretty terrible and it gets more important as you age. Unfortunately natural selection doesn't need to fi

I mean, spend a bit more to take into account the fact that deprecation on a graphics card (computer equipment) is five years and you can reasonably spend about 2400 * 5 = 12000 on a card which will get you an rtx pro 5000 blackwell with 96

Sri Lanka only became an island like 500 years ago. It was a storm in 1480 that disconnected the passable land bridge that once connected it to mainland India.
