It varies for me depending on my mood state. I find it most vivid in bouts of psychosis. I remember once being in such a state and being overwhelmed by my mind's eye seeming even m…

I'm a bit surprised at how often it seems to come up in random comment threads. The atmosphere here feels increasingly unwelcoming lately. Or maybe people feel like they're just ha…

The Python core devs did not have the time or motivation to support the old codepaths in the CPython runtime, and the legacy code was getting in the way of a lot of longtime wants …

> https://thisanimedoesnotexist.ai/results/psi-1.0/seed2954.pn... I get migraines with visual hallucinations, and while I don’t get kaleidoscopic hallucinations, this kind of remin…

I've always felt that sustaining oneself with the life another animal or plant or whatever is the ultimate sign of respect and should be considered an almost sacred act.

The not owing a drink thing reminds me of the concept of rounds. I guess Americans don’t practice it so much, but in Oz it’s kind of expected that people cycle through buying round…

Is it unusual to be able to play back music in one’s head and hear it almost exactly the same as hearing it aloud? When I imagine music in my mind, the sonic qualities all seem the…

Super rad, dude. I’m stoked to hit some gnarly waves today. It’s gonna be killer, dude. Like, totally. Sorry, I slipped into my SoCal dialect there for a sec.

I can't speak to how good or effective it is, but the issues you mentioned are, I think, why the rust-lang community communicates through Zulip (instead of email, IRC, etc).

I’m being somewhat facetious or jocular when I say this—and somewhat serious—but…I wonder: Is that a reflection of the quality of the software implementation? Or is it a reflection…

la-gb? (Latin, Gibberish?)

It’s a sensitive subject for some, I think.

It seems like a very individual natural selection-based idea. I’ve personally always wondered if there could be tribe-level selection for tribes with some non-heterosexual members.…

On a more serious, thought out note: It is kind of interesting seeing the rise of home pulse oximeter products (due to the pandemic).

America is culturally all over the map (and literally too I suppose?), maybe more so than Australia. While the child-in-school thing might be universal across each state, there are…

Your elementary school teacher would give you dirty looks if you said it, but your teenaged and adult friends would give you high fives and "hell yeahs" right back.

You may not be a physicist but you’d make a convincing string theorist! I say that partly pejoratively, with a Sabine Hossenfelder sort of jocular but judgmental tone. I’m personal…

I wish the governments of America were more consensus-oriented. Less “enough people were okay with [it]” and more “most interested and affected parties can agree to it and be okay …

I think it’s more like the balloon analogy or baking bread analogy is required because there’s no good way to explain what we observe without either analogies or math or unintuitiv…

Same thing, really.

Maybe I’m weird, but I love getting lost inside speculative, fictional, or imaginary worlds inside my mind. Granted, those worlds are built from experiences gained outside my mind.…

Sorry, I misread the comment upthread. I meant to say the show is an instance of an actual sci-fi show that covers the topic.

Would they need to keep it a secret? Could their own employees have entered the trials?
