> I wonder if domestic cats attack bats. I have no doubt. Cats have an incredible prey drive, and it would be down right batty for them to have some sort of hardwiring to avoid bats when they happily attack moths who have a similar fli

I really want the original, highly translucent liquid glass back from beta 1. Pleeease? The original liquid glass was my favorite UI ever, and I love to customize my UI. Also, all the hate is really boring and lame.

What a non-sequitar. Your wife is an adult human being. Sex is a consensual act. Not really comparable to trading time and labor for currency.

You missed the geekbar and the penjamim. For max effect also put on a twitch streamer in a different game, listen to imported pop music or edm, and idle in a discord. Oh and have a collection of fidget toys on your desk.

Ima guess they mainly mean exercise, but also sleep. Personally I obsessed about diet for a decade before I finally got religion about running for 30+ mins every day coming up on 2 years ago(I now typically run for more like an hour). It ha

> it sure does seem sad (and wrong) to claim our modern life is “out of balance”. I think the global CO2 levels would disagree. Our oceans, and therefore most of the biosphere are quite literally out of (pH) balance due to rapid CO2 rele

Is it good that a model is steerable? Odd word choice. A highly steerable model seems like a dangerous and potent tool for misinformation. Kinda evil really, the opposite of good.

Yeah, same. Illegal to pay donors here too. I’ve donated multiple gallons, kinda felt it was my duty as a driver on the road… but at some point I came in to donate and got told they were extra short staffed and I’d have to wait at least an

Interesting, I’d speculate that better hydration/hydration education and science play a part. While it used to be thought of as “part of the sport” it seems to be accepted that dehydration is really bad for you with no upside at all

Gross. History is not for LLMs to generate. I find the praise in this thread disturbing. The amount of completely anachronistic scenes would probably lead to worse historic understanding, making this an anti learning game.

It’s generative art, made with Houdini from what I gather—so not technically coding—but davidope is making amazing things all the time and I personally find him a very inspiring visual artist. You can see his art on IG @dvdp or check his ve

If you don’t have fact checkers, a debate loses all its value. Debates must be grounded in fact to have any value at all. Otherwise a “debate” is just a series of campaign stump speeches.

That's just factually incorrect. Paradise was forced to take PGE stock (at some unrealistic valuation) as a repayment. The settlement is years in the rear view mirror now. I actually live in the area and meet people from Paradise. Most

That “grittiness” test is a joke, right? Task saliency is a poor marker for grit. If that were true the grittiest people would be workaholics, which just isn’t what I think of when I think gritty. Also, you can’t expect people to honestly s

I like tools to have defined roles, not multipurpose. I mean the top post is a ~200USD “smart” pomodoro timer. I’m not even close to that. I use my phone for communication, quick photos/ notes and sound. It carries my cards. I want it

Amtrak doesn’t have turnstiles to check your tickets either. The conductor will ask to see your ticket while you are riding though. Pretty sure thats normal for trains.
