The best example of how all of this is just a huge virtue signaling effort. I don't want to be called latinx and it's not a bunch of yankees feeling guilty of their government who's going to choose what to call us. It's

This, precisely. Basically, suffering and low-HDI is exported to developing nations, just like pollution was exported by moving manufacturing to these places. Since big players do not have to abide by international law and can pretend to ca

Yesterday I was backing up and old failing HD. I looked at the models I downloaded since 2014 and since I was out of time, I decided to just delete them. But I deleted them with the same thought you just shared: those old models probably do

Likewise, for those of on this side of the fence, the stakes are the future of billions of lives, the west is the despotic one and we can prove they're not after our best interest by showing the degree of political & military med

That's the most moral thing to do as long as you're a privileged west citizen. If you're from the third world and specially if the US meddled in your life, the "neutral global citizen" pov is the default. We could l

Templates are nice, but they have shortcomings a more generic macro system wouldn't. They also have the issue where the more complex is your task, the more convoluted the code has to look, compilation times also increase and parsers (e

It's a huge reminder C++ is missing a proper, hygienic, macro system. Too many things that are a pain to do in C++ would be easy with a real macro language. I have hope we'll get it sometime this decade, seeing all the work on the

Some people on twitter take offense when opinions such as parent's are said, but I believe he has a point. I'm talking specifically about the amount of colors and also the use of tiles instead of a discrete art. There's somet

Could this in any way be related to the increase of wifi, cellular or any other EM waves that got a huge boom since the early 2000s? I ask this as in, is there any research on how the EM waves we've been using the past 20-25 years inte

Some people say Russia out of nowhere invaded Ukraine for no reason. Other people know there was a color revolution in Kiev that ousted a democratically elected president who was, just as Ukraine historically has been, aligned to Russia and

The US would lie about this to have an excuse to slap more sanctions or to send arms defensively to their adversaries' border. Which they are doing already. It's not that hard to figure out since it's been done to death (lite

I'm on the same boat: haven't bought AAA in years but am happy to spend thousands of dollars on indies. It's not just that AAA companies are awful, but the games they've been making are the same old stuff from 15 years

I do like you said, small variations. Things get difficult once there are bizarre requirements, but then I just login by "forgot my password". Another commenter replied (s)he has over 400 credentials; I don't think I have eve

I don't know, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I never used and never will use a password manager. I can't think of a reason to let a business know all my passwords while also making it my single point of failure.

This has been happening for god knows how many releases now. Release notes make it seem like it's a minor version update and I'm not sure there were that many changes since they don't and haven't been caring. I will stil

A friend uses YAML in that way. Each entry is valid JS code. The result is you have a mixed declarative-imperative configuration language. It's very powerful and I have found a few uses too. The best part is that the evaluator is at mo

I have been taking it for the past 7 years, sometimes a couple times a month, sometimes more, and have zero physical damage from it. It's pretty common in indigenous communities or other ayahuasca centers to give it to children, yeah.

It's called Santo Daime, a syncretism between original indigenous beliefs with catholic christianity; though our views of being a Christian are very different from catholics or protestants though. From catholicism, mostly the non-vilif

I'm part of a church where we take ayahuasca a couple times a month while performing our rituals. Day to day is the usual self-awareness plus christian deal: meditation + attempting to do good, try not to be a dick to others etc.

What's obvious for us who have been oppressed by the empire, for those who live there it might be impossible to see. They're the ones under propaganda 24/7, after all. Occam's razor works really well for many users of th

From my point of view, being a foreigner to US citizens, it's the USG stirring strife, exaggerated equivocations like the Uygur genocide fiasco... All in an attempt to create division and weaken their adversaries. It goes both ways, th
