chicken,

This is an interesting angle. Makes me wonder, do we have a moral duty to reciprocate love and loyalty, or the potential for it? And if not, what basis can there be for treatment of human beings?

chicken,

My interpretation is politics discussions and the temptation to just go along with being pigeonholed

A year ago local LLM was just not there, but the stuff you can run now with 8gb vram is pretty amazing, if not quite as good yet as GPT 4. Honestly even if it stops right where it is, it’s still powerful enough to be a foundation for a more accessible and efficient way to interface with computers.

chicken,

I wonder when was the last time people actually used runner sleds.

chicken,

Maybe it’s because they still need someone to watch over the self checkout terminals, in case someone tries to scam the machine or needs an id check for alcohol or makes a mistake and needs to undo a step etc.

chicken,

that seems more anti free speech than anything

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

I think most of the time it’s really not going to be as hard as all that, because the problem is something like, article makes broad claim based on a very easy to understand study where the data is results of survey questions. The paper clearly and explicitly outlined caveats and qualifications for their results, but the article chose to ignore these, so all that would be required to call them out on it is basic reading comprehension and the ability to copy paste a brief quote from the paper. Or maybe there are stark, obvious differences between the question asked in a survey and the claim of a clickbait headline.

Even for something more complex, if the paper is well written I think people without a background in the field could get stuff out of it, at least enough to spot direct contradictions between it and a summary. It’s just reading. A lot of people can read and have some higher education.

For that wikipedia article, I think it would make more sense if it expanded on “may differ slightly” and how that interacts with this criticism of black hole information transfer being impossible. Would that criticism imply the parameters for new universes must be always the same? Have infinite variance with no reference point? Not exist at all? Is “may differ slightly” a claim that each universe is a reference point around which the cosmological constants of child universes randomly vary a little bit and then there could be drift based on which constants result in a universe with more black holes? If that stuff was concisely clarified it would probably seem less arcane.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

Modern life requires a high degree of physical mobility

It doesn’t have to be that way, and I’m not convinced it’s strictly better that way.

We live in a world where most any first-world consumer item is a luxury compared to the global poor

Idk about that, even people without electricity or running water can get a cheap cell phone and solar charger now.

What doesn’t have much of a positive impact, however, is the delta between an affordable item and a high-end item that costs many multiples more. People can and should aim for those “luxuries” that don’t yet tip over into deminishing returns

Definitely. No need to be giving up things like regular bathing and functional cooking utensils that make a big difference for little expense.

But you could be charged, so there’s still a strong chilling effect where people are going to be afraid to piss outdoors.

Consumerism in a nutshell

chicken,

Maybe no one is actually watching, the TV ratings system is crooked somehow, and TV advertisers are getting screwed?

chicken,

ok

Source?

chicken,

Most new money enters the system by being created via loans ultimately from the federal reserve bank. This is the primary way the money supply expands.

chicken,

Wish they would add a disable-inbox-replies for specific comments feature like reddit has

chicken,

It’s valuable because barter economies aren’t real and don’t work. All the alternatives you mention are difficult to transport, not fungible, or not scarce, so they won’t work as a currency. Either we revert back to gift economies where distribution of goods happens within a community and follows cultural rather than economic rules, or the market settles on a currency for standardized arbitrary transactions between strangers that has the necessary properties of a currency.

chicken,

When I started using LM I had a lot of problems, but switching to XFCE fixed most of them

Is it Wednesday? It is wednesday

chicken,

What do you want to set it up for? They normally come with Windows OS preinstalled

chicken,

Damn. If you get some extra cash maybe consider cheap refurbished laptops on ebay, $100 would at least get you something functional

chicken,

Shouldn’t need any special setup then, maybe install FreeTube or something for the YT adblock since that’s going through some turmoil right now with ublock extension etc, anything else just google how to do it on Windows if you’re not sure.

chicken,

this is not a real security issue

This could be a huge security issue for anyone doing cryptocurrency stuff

chicken,

Yeah but the saying doesn’t make sense anymore since most of the fish are gone. Fishing is now a form of entertainment maintained by the state that you must pay to enjoy in a limited way, not a viable source of sustenance.

chicken,

YouTube dies with a domino effect on the industry of small time streamers

If YouTube died, people wouldn’t stop streaming, it would just boost competitors and/or open the possibility for new platforms to come into existence.
