  • I think you’ve misunderstood my comment because that’s kinda the point I was trying to make.

    This graph is implying “the west” is corrupt because they have lobbying. China was my counter example because it too allows lobbying but a) was left off the map and b) is likely not a country that OP would call corrupt.

  • I’m pretty sure it’s not just the countries colored red. Even China allows lobbying

  • Idk who my all time favorite is, but I just finished rewatching Clone Wars and man I had forgotten how much I liked Hondo Ohnaka

    Maul: “Filth! You will pay for your insolence!”

    Hondo: “Insolence?! We are pirates! We don’t even know what that means.”

  • Every day I learn about some new aspect of some kink which I’ve never thought of before and then also learn from the comments that somehow there are other people on Lemmy with the same niche kink lol

  • Technically we can create basically an infinite amount of clean water via desalination but yeah that infrastructure requires planning and would cut into the energy we “need” for AI so we’re basically dead

  • Ah yeah I forgot brexit was a thing

  • 100% of people in America own their houses because if they couldn’t afford it, it wouldn’t be their house. Checkmate commies

  • Didn’t the NHS like just barely give palantir “unlimited access” to all data?

  • There were definitely some pretty good episodes but also some pretty bland episodes. None were like overtly bad iirc, but there were a couple that were centered around satirizing a single specific real life fad/thing (like the old episode with the eye-phones) which I don’t really like.

  • “young females”

    I’m sure this is a credible and unbiased article. Definitely not written by an author who lacks social awareness or is incredibly sexist against women in general regardless of political leaning. Certainly not one that objectifies or dehumanizes women. No sir.

  • The lightsaber is glowing right? So everything shiny like the cloak and armor should reflect the lightsaber light at least a little.

    If you draw the environment around them you can also add more light sources or fog etc. which would add color.

  • I’m pretty sure The Hobbit directly mentions bees and hives and honey when they stay at Beorn’s place

  • Again, you can write the file to a dvd. Even if you don’t have a dvd burner, your local library probably has one or has computers with that capability

  • Possible options:

    1. Rob hard drives from the editors which hopefully still have the whole movie on them
    2. Pirate it, then burn it to DVD (or just keep in digital format since that’s easier nowadays)

    If you have any questions about what sites to avoid so you don’t accidentally pirate anything fmhy.net has many links to streaming sites, torrenting sites, and guides for how and where to safely pirate various types of media.

  • Have you ever seen one of those images of a tesseract where it’s like a cube in a cube? (You can just look up “tesseract” to find an image)

    Now, pick one of the corners of the outer cube and find the line that connects it to a corner of the inner cube. That’s our origin “edge” and we’re basically just going to move in through the cube along that direction.

    There are three “faces” which share that “edge” (line). We do those ones first.

    Then we move deeper in and do the three faces of the inner cube which share the corner our origin line connects to.

    Then we have to zig zag around the six “faces” that exist between inner and outer cubes which are roughly perpendicular to our origin edge. (Imagine you broke the tesseract in half by cutting halfway between your starting corner and the corner opposite it. The “faces” we need to traverse would intersect that plane)

    After that, we do the three faces on the far side of the inner cube. (The ones opposite our starting corner)

    Then we do the three around the line which connects that far corner of the inner cube to the outer cube.

    Then we do the three faces on the outside of the large cube at that corner.

    Finally we do the three faces on the outside of the cube around our starting corner.

  • Wait, isn’t this trivial?

    If we’re talking about “faces” as in the cubic faces of a tesseract then each of the 8 faces are connected to all other faces except the opposite face. So just spiral around from your starting face (keeping the faces you’ve visited on the inside of the spiral) and you’re fine.

    If you mean 2D faces connecting the 3D ones, then things get more difficult but not that much because you can do the exact same thing. Choose a 1D edge as your origin, pick a face touching that edge to start with, traverse that edge twice to get the next two faces. Then traverse three faces which share edges with those faces you already traversed (there are 6 faces with this property, 3 for each vertex of our origin edge, the set you pick determines the “direction” of your overall progress through/around the tesseract). Repeat that step again but for the faces that share edges with two of the three you just did. Repeat again and again and again until the last three faces share a vertex with the origin edge you started with. You’re done.

    Am I missing something? Did the prompt mean to say you can only traverse each edge once?


    Edit: the 2D face path I described would miss 6 faces. Those six faces should be traversed in the middle, so do the first three faces, the second three, then all six which touch both those three you just traversed and the three you would have done next on the original path. Then do the rest just like I originally mentioned.

  • I’m reasonably certain the two are not mutually exclusive

  • Do not pass go. Do not collect $200government subsidies

  • I haven’t read the book but I am familiar with the thousand brains hypothesis. The real problem as far as I can tell seems to be the variations in morphology and connectivity of different neurons.

    The brain might make every column the same to begin with but if that’s the case, the diversity of the initial columns is immense. So many different genes even for just pyramidal neurons. Not to mention the inter neurons and other glia.

    Plus the function of many cells are still unknown like chandelier cells. They’re everywhere, they regulate firing, but we’re not sure how. They can be inhibitory or excitatory and sometimes they can fire in response to both inhibitory or excitatory input, Etc.

    And don’t even get me started on how no one actually seems to agree on the function of the layers of the neocortex. Every paper I read on the topic poses almost entirely different hypotheses for the function of each layer and the few connection maps you can find will show many connections that violate the idea each layer takes specific inputs.

    Sure spiking networks are much more biologically plausible (and fun to work with so I recommend you try one out if you’re interested in this field) but the connections and learning rules are what seems to matter more.
