Not too surprising, that's true for many single axes for adult humans as well, for example there's lots of tall women and short men. Multi-dimensional analyses are very different though

The fixation on genitals in this discourse is weird. It's an argument that tries to say "if you don't agree with me, you're a pervert that just thinks about genitals". Men vs women can be clearly distinguished in ma

I don't really understand how you can look at the massive failure this election and say that with a straight face. Identity politics is a goddamn failure. If the Democrats dropped that shit and focused on actually helping out the worki

People swung over to Trump because they're sick of this shit and want change. He's offering change, bad though it may be. Neoliberalism was strongly repudiated this election, and now the Democrats have to actually swing left if th

The Democratic Party being called left is wrong. Calling them extreme-left is laughable. They are chasing Republicans right and throwing out a few scraps to the left. That stopped working this election. They need to drop the silly identity

I actually had pretty good results from taking a new language that was posted here and having GPT-4 try to interpret it. I don't remember what it was called, but it was APL-like, very symbol-dense, but not using standard symbols. It wa

I really dislike the Shadow DOM part of Web Components. Someone didn't learn any lessons from past mistakes and went and reinvented iframes. Trying to write tests or any automation for a web page that uses shadow dom is an exercise in

Farming can mean different things. If you want to eat meat, you can seek out meat from animals that have lead a good life, with all the food and self-actualization they want and no predators. Yeah, they inherently die before you eat them, b

How do you know that qualia is an actual Territory?

Well we're not going to convince each other of fundamentally different worldviews over the internet. Until proven otherwise, I think qualia is just a trick smart people play on themselves to convince themselves humans are special becau
