There's hundreds of years of "depression isn't real and even if it was real the only treatment is to take a walk in the woods!!" and like a decade of "man, ssris are great, they really helped me". Public respon

You went from "Neurotypical Peers are Less Willing to Interact with Those with Autism based on Thin Slice Judgments" to "refuse to interact with autists". What exactly are we doing here?

We need some word and "differently abled" is just silly. Being blind is a problem. It's not a moral judgment, you aren't less of a person, but you aren't going to be driving any time soon.

I'm reminded of an anecdote I heard once from a psych(ologist/iatrist?) that goes something like: if you think you hear voices in your head, but the voices tell you to go to bed on time and drink plenty of water, you don't n

I think the context here is that small models run locally, not rented from a cloud.

by wredcoll 1mo ago
So your argument is that this was worse not because of what it did to people at the time but because of what might happen in the future?

Yeah I got slightly depressed typing it out.

Is this just another attempt at attacking solar/wind?

Perhaps they shouldn't have STARTED THE WAR THEN.

This is literally my point. A python example would be like, calling readline to store someone's name into a name variable then printing a string that said "Hello name". Scheme examples are some abstract list manipulations.

One bomber is considerably harder to defend against, otherwise, I don't think the people who died really cared.

I don't understand the naivety involved in thinking that this matters to the people dying from the bombs. I haven't personally died from a bomb, but I find it super hard to imagine a scenario where I would be happier if I died fro

by wredcoll 1mo ago
If you can't measure human suffering then what's the argument for claiming the nukes are worse than anything else? You can't have it both ways.

by wredcoll 1mo ago
This is the point I keep trying to make, like, I don't want to downplay, you know, literally being nuked, but I also don't want to downplay the results of 1000+ heavy bombers dropping thousands and thousands of tons of "regul

That's a famous myth. Among other things, russia didn't have a navy, or a strategic bombing force, so they essentially posed no threat to the actual island of japan. You are correct in the sense that Japan was going to surrender a

by wredcoll 1mo ago
Wow yes the USA and friends could have just surrendered. Brilliant insight. Very clever. I'm sure everyone being tortured to death by the various Japanese military units would super appreciate that.

by wredcoll 1mo ago
They were already being firebombed to death by "regular" bombs and/or starving to death from various blockades. Why single out those attacks?

It would help a lot if every single racket/scheme example wasn't entirely made of single character variables.

There are two kinds of languages, ones that people complain about and ones nobody uses.

Perl is a lot like that also, you can read about some really weird old features like $[ but you never see that in practice, you just write code with variables and functions and so on.
