I wonder if the acronym was inspired by Ensō the japanese caligraphy of a zen circle.

I'm well aware of the anthropogenic effects on various animal populations especially megafauna, but it's a particular kind of claim to lump an oceanic apex predator with a flightless bird relegated to its island environment. Thank

You're suggesting we killed them off? Source?

The chinampas are a super neat example of agroforestry. The soil is extremely dark (like Ukrainian chernozem or better) and has a very low depletion per cycle. Some still exist and are being stewarded toward renewal and proliferation! http

Carageenan gives me inflammation. There's now plenty of research out there about all sorts of issues it causes in the body.

If we're focusing on effects of diet on immune systems, especially those not functioning nominally, it is quite readily available information now. Was not so half a decade ago. The immune system is affected strongly by gut microbiota h

Yes, 100%. At some point I started to feel negative bodily reaction from a single beer. I also quit smoking cigarettes for the same reason.

Exactly this, I get regular blood work. On top of that, I can feel the inflammation. It is pressure, or warmth. It's a very obvious bodily reaction. Now of course for the average immune system the effects would be more subtle, but co

Fair enough, I'll rephrase it this way: most large mammal meat causes inflammation for me and my partner, whereas chicken, turkey, fish, rabbit, etc are all fine (and I should say I used to basically eat meat with carbs). As far as ome

Fatty fish, most nuts (that don't have high omega-6, which is inflammatory), fruits high in antioxidants like berries and dark fruit in general, colorful vegetable, cooking with olive/avocado/sunflower oil, *kefir* which is t

I second this very much so. Even if I have the extra time due to working from home, I usually don't feel free enough during work hours to get engrossed in a hobby or side project. I just seek escape in the form of cheap temporary enter

I too discovered sizecoding through dwitter way past the original demoscene era, but I think codegolfing with javascript scratches a similar CS/math/language tricks itch. Had a lot of fun with dwitter, and it definitely helped me

Valid, yeah. It occurs to me though that the difference is we are making a representation of the real world that can be manipulated like such, as opposed to a simulation of a fabricated world.

I'm curious what are a few examples? I've missed the last decade of new games largely.

by datameta 3y ago
I think the difference is that in a video game you are in one location only at any given moment and things travel only forward in time. We can view from any location at any time in volumetric video.

As an addendum: would a global middle class person be able to afford playing this modified-for-Earth Azad?

by datameta 3y ago
This seems quite useful to reign in my relatively unstructured unnamed text notes.

Azad from Player of Games. No, really, I'm very curious to see it modified for IRL usage.

Right, and the books mention how the Culture is a bit long in the tooth to Sublime, seeing other younger civs speed-run toward this extradimensional afterlife.

Hmm, good point! However, I would argue that such nudges are toward overall peace with a neighbor, rather than total civilation subjugation like with the Borg.

The culture does not forcefully assimilate however, and they add the cultural proclivities of any new member as opposed to breaking it down into its elements to be absorbed and reconstructed.

Hmm... Are the Gzilt not simply one of the humanoid species? Or perhaps the Culture at the time of prospective Gzilt merger already contained the rest of the constituent groups?

I think trust is a key thing you've hightlighted. I find myself doubting GPT3.5, whereas not at all for GPT4.

I fully agree that too much direct and indirect international "intervention" in pursuit of influence toward their interests is not helpful to overall global peace and prosperity.

My mistake! Though my purpose was moreso excessive venting, as a ukrainian-american. But neither have a place here due to lack of value add.

My gut metric says it's a ~20% increase in perceived interpretation and output complexity, whatever that means exactly. But there are plenty of eval result aggregators out there.

Any argument I provide for Russia not on the being on the council I will also happily accept for any other country including the US. Russia is simply the latest most egregiously blatant violator. So that is a good question, why do we have a

All valid points, I think I looked at it too trivially and fired an opinion from the hip.

I would wager the M2 is more energy efficient than a 4090.
