Other good bubbles around the world: US - Trader Joes - Surprisingly good bubbles, couple different flavours but I like the plain shit. I think they use different suppliers regionally, SW US is my jam, it seems to pack a lot more punch on t

So, what's your proposal for dealing with Trump then? The world waits with bated breath...

I mean sure, if you just ignore the rest of my comment and take that piece in isolation, then I suppose it could further support your claim.

Did you read the encyclical? It's quite the grounded take on AI and the ethics around it.

This feels more like a the company you keep situation than social media nonsense. You happen to have a social circle that doesn't have any issues with cyclists, perhaps there are a number of them in your group. But there are almost ass

Was referring to somenameforme's comment who was just stating facts. There are useful tangents, and not so useful ones. This thread seems to insist on devolving into the latter, so I am out.

I think the dude above was just explaining the Wolf amendment origins, I don't think it was an attempt to shift blame away from Trump for the current policies or both sides it. Just giving more context as to one specific item listed in

Is your understanding that the VPs are in the same union as the line workers? That would be... interesting. I do not believe that is the case.

Was unaware of this, upon googling, assuming this article is fairly representing his point, I think it's more nuanced than you're making it out to be. https://www.advocate.com/politics/national/barney-fr

Hah, same. Always entertaining how people map their tendencies to the world at large.

What about those in the UK worried about their data when using AI... Perhaps they could, I dunno, relax, knowing they're using a service in their local jurisdiction? And more generally, let the AI do the thinking/coding/whate

You're right. Why do their customers insist on working the same hours they do? You'd think they'd work different hours so they could run their errands when things are open.

I mean, I don't think OpenAI should be wading into the policies and practices of foreign institutions and governments. Look at all the blowback we see from the collision of Anthropic or OpenAI and the US government. At present, the too

I am impressed by your ability to delineate the weather effect on his run with such confidence! Particularly given advances in other variables that contribute.

I'm not sure I follow, what's the difference in message between drunken rambling and, getting drunk and rambling?

by snayan 6mo ago
I don't think the dude drunken rambling on reddit was aspiring to be a role model, just share what he perceived as wisdom he's gained in life.

Right? On what planet does someone think that if they share a doc in a private 1on1 chat on Fiverr, that means the doc is going to be indexed by google. Shameless.

I want to believe that it's people keeping mum until it's fixed so that the leaked PII isn't spread more widely, minimize the risk of bad actors scraping it all. Once the leak is plugged, I would hope that Fiverr gets absolut

If I had to guess it's because most kids have ipads/youtube/other dopamine machines given to them to keep busy from a ridiculously young age. By the time they're seven, they're addicted to easy dopamine. Reading a b

Fair, their post gave a nod to the believers I suppose, and it's reasonable to assume they have different metrics of success for getting the message out to believers vs as they described "The people who need us most are often the

Agreed. Assuming they use the same principles everywhere, they're getting more views on Mastodon and Bluesky? That is surprising.

I think you misunderstand. His comment about futures markets is equivalent to your comment about twitter. Neither of you are getting your news from NYT.

I think the heart of what they're getting at is that while on paper they are bringing in less income, they have gotten off the hedonistic treadmill, and as a result, quality of life per dollar has increased dramatically. They are less

Amen brother. I spun myself in circles for decades, but read a few books by Jed McKenna last year that helped me get out of my own way as it were. The process of what he calls spiritual autolysis, which is basically just writing your belief

I'll admit I know very little about Buddhism beyond what I learned at a Vipassana retreat a little while ago. My own journey has led me to believe that it is the ego that stands in the way of us realizing our true nature. I believe we

It depends on the root of the evolution I would say. Sure, if someone has gone through the process and achieved enlightenment like Buddha, they may be able to evolve the teachings to better fit the times. However, my gut says that is often

I think when you marry life is suffering, and resistance is suffering, you get to the root of it. Ego is ultimately the root of suffering, resisting what is. Our cravings and aversions result in us not being able to be meet the present as i

Can't you continue to do what you've been doing? What specifically about the existence of AI is killing the passion out of curiosity?
