Hamas terrorist attacks sucked. Bombing whole city blocks in retaliation sucks. Indeed.

Personally I'm astonished how many seems to find it easy picking a side. The more I learn the less I feel sure about anything except that the whole situation sucks.

Picking a side sucks. Not picking a side sucks. I'm glad I don't have political influence for this one.

Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it's Onlyfans.

Not only are monkeys as intelligent as small kids. All monkey species are at least a thousand times as rare as humans.

These experiments sound like they've been done by people who don't know what they're doing?

That is hardly an unpopular opinion.

An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don't care about climate change will have children.

Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I'm not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.

Governments listen to people that succeed at acting in unison. Individuals can be dealt with swiftly but populations can overturn any government.

Coordinating populations is the hard part if you want revolution. Manipulating populations and their ability to coordinate is your bread and butter if you want to oppress.

That seems so weird when you think about the pricing for openai API. It feels at least an order of magnitude cheaper than using chatgpt plus subscription, which in turn is $20/month. If Copilot is losing money, openai must be burning money by truckloads.

You shouldn't use code that you don't understand. Chatgpt outputs quite readable and understandable code and makes sure to explain a lot of it and you can ask questions about it.

It can save quite a lot of effort, especially for tasks that are more tedious than hard. Even more if you have a general idea of what you want to do but you're not familiar with the specific tools and libraries that you want to use for the task.

As a tangent I feel it's a bit symptomatic of our social media landscape having trust issues when we can't allow ourselves to delegate having an opinion about one of the most infected and complex conflicts that is way out of most people's control.

Hellblade 2 is coming.

Edit: The atmosphere in the first 10-30 minutes of Hellblade is absolutely stunning. I haven't played through it yet though. I think I'm afraid that it will be a disappointment and that the initial experience, which really is amazing, will be ruined.

Monitor replacement glasses, like NReal Air, that actually are a good enough replacement for my second screen to allow a full day of work.

Yeah don't kill the fire while it's small. If it grows larger we can sell more extinguishers!

Just switch to a sexy Persian cat costume.

They're happy most of the time.

Maybe they realize there will be more war and profits to make if Putin gets what he wants.

Is anyone actually making progressive web apps?

Only the super rich disagree with you.

Great now I have to write a 50k word novel in 82 minutes.

Don't bomb civilians. Don't bomb Palestinians. Don't bomb Israelis. Don't kill children. Don't kill. Don't kidnap people.

Is that hard? I mean sure the world might be more complicated but regardless of that the above seems like a very consistent and simple starting point of an opinion? It seems easier to start with "don't bomb people" as a starting point than "don't bomb some people" as a starting point.

After a bit of searching I think people generally mean gnome 3 when they say gnome and gnome 2 is now known as Mate.

I mean I've seen some weird workarounds when stuff isn't loading in when they're supposed to..

But yeah this is probably not that.

What about Deckard though?

The problem is their moat. If customers can easily go somewhere else hiking prices will have clear consequences.

Hi

Would it be possible to ruin the barrel by shooting at it from the side? Or would it just ricochet?

Here's one link: https://www.statista.com/chart/28489/ukrainian-military-humanitarian-and-financial-aid-donors/

I just googled "ukraine aid eu vs us".

If you're already knee deep in existing code and looking for bugs or need to write quite specific algorithms it seems not very useful. But if you for some reason need to write stuff that has the slightest feeling of boilerplate, like how do I interact with well established framework or service X while doing A, B C it can be really useful.

I've heard some of them are calling for regulation, that favours them.

I remember feeling like that about "the Sphere" which came out the year after and has 13% on rotten tomatoes. I really liked it.

Thriller starts playing

Are there any good podcasts that try to connect the dots regarding the American and French revolutions and related events?

Things that should be relatively non controversial:

• There's no simple solution.

• Palestinian civilians is not equal to Hamas.

• Hamas is a terror organisation

• Israel army is currently exercising too much violence on Palestinians

• Israel clearly has the military advantage.

More vague points:

That puts most of the responsibility of how the situation develops in Israel hands. They can't change the minds of the Palestinians. But they have the power to minimise total harm. They should be able to keep a lower rate of casualties on the Palestinian side without significantly increasing casualties on the Israeli side? No?

Yup. Accurately guessing the next thought (or action) is all brains need to do so I don't see what the alleged "magic" is supposed to solve.

I mean the Soviets helped beat the Nazis and they were hardly the good guys. Helping Ukraine makes US the good guys in the Ukraine war. Each action should stand on its own.

Teach me oh wise one.

Actually a good point.

Really? A Russian delegation is allowed to join? Doubt they would have anything remotely useful to contribute.

I went to Goa and Mumbai. So maybe not the densest populated places but still. I'm from Sweden. Sure the population density takes some getting used to but if you allow yourself to do that it's not like it's an alien place. Great food.

The Chinese room thought experiment doesn't prove anything and probably confuses the discussion more than it clarifies.

In order for the Chinese room to convince an outside observer of knowing Chinese like a person the room as a whole basically needs to be sentient and understand Chinese. The person in the room doesn't need to understand Chinese. "The room" understands Chinese.

The confounding part is the book, pen and paper. It suggests that the room is "dumb". But to behave like a person the person-not-knowing-Chinese plus book and paper needs to be able to memorize and reason about very complex concepts. You can do that with pen and paper and not-understanding-Chinese person it just takes an awful amount of time and complex set of continuously changing rules in said book.

Edit:

Reddit has competition but also a big moat in that a lot of people need to collectively decide to move platform.
