That you have created a new category of people: 'white', that were historically not considered belonging to the same group does not subsume the history of western thinking; which arguably started in the middle east, was further de

People screaming on YouTube is infinitely more exciting than basic math to these kids.

We're in Canada; doing the same. But most of my kids' classmates are on YouTube all the time. The brainrot content is unavoidable and it's creating issues for my kids' socialization.

I built an HTMX fragment framework for Django. It allows you to render a fragment, and automatically serves the fragment separately for live-updates. I'll open source it tonight and post back. In my opinion, HTMX + custom elements does

Modern usage of language has really blurred the lines, and it is confusing. You are confusing 'State' vs 'Nation'. A nation does not need a legal entity to exist. 'Kurdish', 'Jewish', and 'Burman

When someone refers to "The X people", they are referring to the Nationality. Historically citizenship and nationality were interlinked, but they are separate. "The Irish people inhabit Ireland, as Irish Citizens" is no

> By the fourth generation, immigrants are indistinguishable from all the other citizens That is historically true, but not fundamentally true. This has started changing recently, where 2nd generations are not assimilating. A French pers

What makes a person 'French'?

by jjk7 2y ago
Nation: a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language The French culture will die if no one protects it. Without limits to cultural admixture, 'Frenchness' will be diluted into a sea of other cultu

It's like a digital 'smell'; Google is a drug sniffing dog.

Yes. How else would you prevent framing someone?

It's a very serious video, which adds to the comedy of it.

That's astonishing. If you watched all of them, how much new information would you learn? I suspect a large portion of them are the same information presented differently; for example a news story duplicated by hundreds of different ch

I'm sure someone else could calculate the informational density of all of the text on the internet vs. 30,000 hours of sight, smell, touch, sound, etc density. My intuition tells me it's not even close.

Children do get ~6000 hours a year of stimulus. Spoken, unspoken, written, and body language. Even then they aren't able to form language proficiently until 5 or 6 years old. Does the internet contain 30,000 hours of stimulus?

There are a few optimizations that types can use but 99% of applications wouldn't benefit from them anyways.

3% is a pretty big reduction for such a simple thing...

I think the internet will eventually die for this reason... Am I reading an honest comment from a stranger or from a Neal Stephenson advertising bot? Eventually it will be just all bots, and very little desire for real humans to interact.
