This is very cool. I can't comment on the encryption, but I did want to mention that your page design is pretty bad, which is a shame for something so useful. It looks AI generated…

Yeah, /your/ nation maybe. I wonder if there's any other reasons that could explain this, especially given the pretty uniform distribution of video games, and the extremely uneven …

This isn't necessarily true, especially with consumer GPUs. Some actually can clock higher with less voltage. It's pretty rare, and mostly comes from factory overclocked cards. For…

No one at high levels is capitalist, in ideology or action. An ideological capitalist would be in favor of competition, but these people disdain it and collude regularly. The only …

No no, you see, for a government 'leading in AI' is just spending the most money on it.

As far as I can tell, people are getting blitzed. People I know are incredibly deep in their personalized bubble and genuinely aren't even hearing about it. It's genuinely distress…

I agree with your point that attempts at cheating are inevitable, the rest is confusing though: We have a long and storied history of coming up with extremely disturbing capitol pu…

Might be useful to ask a different question: What makes people happy? It's things like relationships, satisfying work, accomplishment. (and many, many more) Then the real question …

The only well-reviewed DisplayPort KVMs I'm aware of are from Level1Techs: https://www.store.level1techs.com/products/kvm Not cheap though. And also not 100% caveat-free.

Yeah that's true. I was thinking more long term though, deserts see much faster yearly degradation than places with more normal temps. (up to 2-3% compared to the standard 0.5-0.8%…

The solar panels would overheat (and lose efficiency), since ~80% of the solar energy hitting it is absorbed as (mostly) heat. Generating solar energy in deserts is often done with…

Backing this one up with my own experience of ADD (I was never hyperactive): I've tried all the distraction reducing techniques, and the distraction reducing techniques have been t…

Definitely not ruling it out, it's not 0% for sure. Though as a Canadian I don't think we got it as bad here, so I wouldn't say I really have any idea how big a factor it is. Espec…

Interesting framing, I've seen a similar 'If it's a meal, then where's the meat?' attitude from my own family, I've had some thoughts on where it came from, but I think part of it …

I mean Costco kept theirs, and in a lot of cases federal grant money is now contingent on removing it, so this seems like a hasty conclusion. That being said I'm sure a lot of comp…

I wonder which way the causal arrow goes? I'm confident more complex (and also excellent) music is being made now than ever before so it wouldn't be a supply problem. Could be a de…

I thought so too, tried putting a max width on the body and centering it. Ended up looking substantially better to my eye.

I wonder how much this generalizes to other sugar alcohols, I've got some erythritol in the cupboard...

Also you can mix a tiny bit of xanthan gum in on your initial stir and then it stays mixed. I've never noticed a textural difference.

True, but the causal link is hard to demonstrate. There's also a drop in friends, especially close friends. In-person social activity is down across the board. Not that porn defini…

For anyone who's game to run another service for audiobooks, I've found Audiobookshelf to be pretty good: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

It doesn't really need to be them doing the studying, making the code viewable allows end-users to choose who to trust or to get second opinions, instead of only having the word of…

I think it it's a reference to the media landscape, Facebook and OpenAI inclusive.

I know what you mean, it starts to feel like software, instead of a game if that makes sense.
