    I'm pretty sure there was a weird bug in the original C&C generals where the game engine 'tick rate' was somehow tied to CPU cycles and assumed single-threading or something. I rem…

    Sure there were some buzz words in there... But the actual core of the post wasn't patronising at all. Might need to take a step back and ask why your response to that was so stron…

    My experience observing commercial LLM's since the release of GPT-4 is actually the opposite of this. Sure, they've gotten much cheaper on a per-token basis, but that cost reductio…

    Actually I disagree, see previous comment re: the Fridman/zuch interview. The genuinely cool thing about that though... They aren't sending the video. Instead, they convert both pe…

    You can turn off self-view by default. The day I realised this, was the day 75% of my zoom fatigue disappeared.

    Oh well that settles it then, because TWO medical professionals could never get something wrong, could they?

    Thank you! This is EXACTLY the issue I've been failing to articulate.

    Both examples were killed by the state... That's my point, the safeguards failed and the people were euthanized...

    I get your point, but there are already MULTIPLE examples of people combining the mental-health component + some externality that is fundamentally a societal failing and coming to …

    These are all excellent examples of how MAID should be used, I think the concerning thing is the widening of the eligibility criteria - especially when things like mental illness s…

    > overly self-critical IMO this relates heavily to Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria and ND people's propensity to maximise negative self-perception and minimise positive.

    Maybe it's just me, but I've never been able to get a complex type schema to work properly with JSON schema. The moment you have types referencing other types in a way that can bec…

    Hate Jira all you want... but this is actually funny.

    IMO a healthy relationship with LSD is one where, after a certain point (usually single-digit experiences), you can very confidently wish the substance a heartfelt goodbye, and tha…

    I find it fascinating how many things like this just completely gloss over the fact that some people have side-effects to these drugs that make them completely non-useable, and oft…

    There's probably a really interesting, bit potentially controversial topic to be discussed here. As a Non-Indian, I'm quite aware/familiar with this kind of culture you speak of wi…

    I get your point, but using the best-sellers list as a proving point isn't exactly a slam-dunk. What's that saying? "Nobody ever went broke overestimating the poor taste of the ave…

    IMO we've had the EXACT same economic system since we were living in caves, it's called "supply and demand". What do you do when "demand" for human labour drops to zero and "supply…

    This may have been a valid response ten years ago, but these days it's absolutely not. The phrase "degrowth" is thrown around ALL the time in environmentalist circles these days, I…
