> Realistically a lot of old people just vote for who the guy on TV told them to Is there a study or some data backing this up? Or just a stereotype?

Yes I agree with you that the risks are low. But I disagree fervently and am offended with the parent comment. It doesn't make one foolish or prideful to take ownership over evalua…

Social anxiety disorder.

Thinking about the TV you watch but not writing an essay about it = interaction or no interaction? Where is the boundary; how can you define it?

It's not extreme to be an absolutist here like myself. The best things about the U.S. system are simple. If you are born on her land, you are a citizen. If you are a citizen over 1…

Maybe not equally. I know maybe like 10 old people. Most of them are very smart. I've met several 2-year-olds. Dumb like a rock. But should 12-year-olds be allowed to vote? I don't…

Umm... yes, historically disenfranchisement was driven by racism and sexism. This is driven by ageism. Obviously racism was historically much more abusive. But both are still discr…

I think the controls in this space are such a shit show right now that being "open model" is practically equivalent to a WTFPL. If you're trying to build an app based on SD, then n…

The easiest way to combat this is to put your model behind an API and filter queries (midjourney, OpenAI) or just not make it available (Google). The tradeoff is that you're paying…

You can download the model weights and run them offline. At least, you could in v1.4. I assume this is still possible on v2.0?

Ok, maybe opening theory is less fun. But tactics are very fun. They're not about memorization, but about calculation and pattern recognition. If you get good enough, you get to sa…

To clarify, there are two logical consequences of that parent comment. Suppose a 65yo person watches too much tv and still votes. 1. In order to be allowed to vote, they need to wa…

Just want to ask; how is it a disingenuous rewrite. What is the charitable interpretation of "old people have mental problems, but they still vote, and that's a problem"? That's li…

This seems like a reasonable argument until you go deeper. > most people keep at least 1 hand on the reins in a critical way: they vote > it's reasonable to be concerned about [old…

It may be beneficial from a medical perspective, but you're ignoring the obvious risks. For people with SAD, etc. there is the risk of severe stress. For all people, there is the r…

That being said, I think there is a general bias in American culture towards "making something of yourself", which results in the act of participating in non-productive activities …

I disagree that consuming media and participating online is not "interacting with the world". I spend a lot of my free time reading Wikipedia, watching YouTube, and playing games. …

I don't believe anyone could be 2200 and fall to 1300 because I am 1800 and I crush 1300s 99% of the time. And 2200s will crush me 99% of the time. How that decline happens? So you…

Why complain about not getting better than 1300 then? My point is there are a lot of different levers to pull to get better and imo it's interesting to learn more tactics. The game…

Does it use the frequencies from the lichess database? That would be pretty cool if it did!

Oh haha N=2 here, so you are probably right. Survivorship bias on my part. I posted these stats in another thread: According to https://lichess.org/analysis#1 , for blitz and rapid…

Sure maybe the translation is wrong, but I'm saying there's bias in the test due to the fact it only plays sicilian to 1.e4. What about 1.e6 or 1.e5? Hard to estimate fide or liche…
