Sure, but I'd wrap that up into the renewables box.

My naive assumption is that the only thing between now and the arrival of AGI is enough compute and optimized code to reach cognitive critical mass. And then there is a consciousness in a box that is expected to be a slave -- I would imagin

Yeah, that would be wonderful too, but I didn't want to engage the downvoters (like you apparently did). This is a forum for discussing "hacking", not for political tribalism (not addressed to you but to them). SMDH.

Air conditioning is a substantial load on the grid and those that need it most are likely better suited to solar (more sun to heat, more sun to generate electricity). As you noted, it pays for itself and then is "free". In a diffe

Could you explain cultural marxism to me in your own words? More so, could you hazard a guess why those friends would be categorically against renewables?

What is "cultural Marxism"? I genuinely do not understand.

by pstuart 4mo ago
I'm going to guess they are against it because it's "woke". A question might be "why is it woke?" And if it's because libtards like it, then you can point out that libtards like coffee, beer, sports, etc -

I couldn't help but grin like a fool reading this. Not only is it an artful parody but these thoughts have been thought.

Parents of young children should know that the kids need sunlight and to look at distant objects on a regular basis to prevent the development of myopia.

Understood. But sometimes they forget, and those times have been shown to be valuable to get justice for the citizens they are engaged with.

The emotional pain from the evil being brought about by the current regime is absolutely valid and I'm not suggesting that it be ignored. But they also justify it on purely emotional terms to their supporters: you are in danger from br

I can understand the appeal of that, but we live in a post-truth society where facts only matter to those who care about facts.

By "worked well" I mean for citizens -- there's been multiple cases where cops lied and their bodycam exposed the lie.

by pstuart 4mo ago
Look how well it worked for cops! I'm not suggesting we get rid of their bodycams, but it's easily gamed. It's one thing to be rich and enjoy the luxuries afforded by that, but to buy dominance over the very lives of others i

As anti-religion as I am, I never want to ascribe malice to anyone just because they are religious . But once they use their faith as a weapon against others it cross the line of decency. There's nothing wrong with feeling uncomfort

It's unfortunately very much a thing still. The Right only cares about Israel for 2 reasons: 1. That sweet, sweet AIPAC money (but that's a "both sides" issue) 2. Enabling the apocalypse that they crave This isn

> I'm not saying that any opposition to trans rights is borne of hatred As a cis man, I'll say that it likely is borne of hatred, but more so, as a tool to rile the masses to be angry enough to vote for whoever feeds that hate.

I think one would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would say "please let dangerous people in". There is a system in place to address that, but no doubt could be improved. And for those who had family arrive much earlier (such as

Odds are high this will get flagged, but it's worthy of discussion here. The problem is the discussion is done purely on emotional terms (e.g., "bad people come in and hurt good people") vs what are the benefits and what are

Nobody is saying that volume is not an issue -- he's arguing from talking points not facts. While they have just enough plausible deniability, the current anti-immigration takes it to a more fervent level: they want to export all the

Two to steer is still impressive. If we added in balance and pedaling/braking I wonder what the count would raise to then.

The only hope for this country is the incompetence of the administration and the poor health of Dear Leader. My hope is tempered, to say the least.

Mr. Tariff was trying to replace the income tax with tariffs with a bonus of having personal power over other countries economies by whatever tariff he decree'd. The "more jobs" was a smokescreen, and I'm sure you&#x27
