Explicate the inexorable, fucker.

  • Power

  • This isn't addressed to OP, I'm pissing on Calvin's premise:

    Historically influential power can be gotten by being good: Jonas Salk, MLK Jr, Ghandi Gandhi, Darwin, some philosophers, scientists, and mathematicians, etc. Unfortunately there's a significant section of the population who don't like good people (possibly due to foiling).

    But assuming none of us are getting out of life alive, personally it seems like it's worth risking being a historic level of good versus clinging to the status quo for an extra decade or two without the hope of making a difference.

    In Multilevel Selection evolutionary theory there's selection at the selfish gene and individual level, but also at group, population, species, etc levels. Those latter levels serta contribute game theory value to the community which is at least a definition of good (or moral).

    Power isn't inherently bad is the minimum thing I'm trying to demonstrate.

  • OP has started down the road toward mental health problems: not doing anything illegal, but indulgent beyond what the average citizen will put up with. It's the law of the excluded middle. 😦

  • Terrible situation but hopefully this destruction at least enriches the soil and they don't poison the trees more than is standard.

  • OP hasn't heard about ICE. Both images should look the same.

  • OP, for the drama bait. Woof.

  • I highly value privacy, but the gap between local LLMs vs top of the line cloud LLMs (e.g. Claude & DeepSeek) is still too great for me to switch completely to the former.

    I’ll use PWAs to sandbox LLMs from everything else (and each other) and try to create semantic distance between the user and the queries.

    How about that leaked Claude source code? Is there a reliably clean version of that available anywhere yet?

  • Similarly, one thousandth of a tary equals one military.

  • Well let's see: heroin is categorized as Schedule I meaning maximally addictive with no therapeutic benefit, and...

    All anti-depressants are not Scheduled at all meaning they have zero addiction potential. And meta-analyses show they do have therapeutic potential.

    What good is a representative democracy when these are our representatives?

  • I suborned a Bajorn to make some spicy hasperat and the most damning part of all is I think that I can live with that.

  • Ferenginar

  • The pointer is incidental. Their comment is pointing out that globe's are necessarily 3D spheres so (assuming it's not a one-liner joke) OP's post wouldn't be consistent with "members all around" a flat circular model of Earth.

  • Nothing I suggested prevents that.

  • After the joke I still had to look it up. There are two types: towers and floaters.

    The tower rigs are built in shallow water on a seabed foundation (like a building) and can reach heights of 200+ feet above sea level with 60-100 feet of the tower submerged.

    The floating ones are only 30-60 feet above sea level and 60-100 feet of mostly pontoons below (like an iceberg) and are further stabilized using cables or computer-controlled thrusters.

    So my guess is the one in the photo is a tower one, but that may not be rig(ht).

  • I hate to say it but this is a good use case for AI filtering. it could filter content we're already familiar with yet allowing it through once the content changes enough to warrant some threshold of new learning. It'd help older folks from nlt getting left in the dust by these young whipper-snappers.

  • It truly heralded the Genesis of a new age. Ooh now I wanna watch the Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) directed 2016 movie "Loving" about that Loving v. Virginia Supreme Court case. It stars Ruth Negga (Preacher) and Joel Edgerton (Owen Lars in a Star War) as Mildred and Richard Loving.

    If I actually wanted to reproduce I'd preferentially seek out a mate from the most genetically isolated population I could find (e.g. the hyper-isolationist Sentinelese) for the very reason that greater genetic diversity is the surest metric for evolutionary fitness. For the same reasons incest isn't. (Altho I may have to send a drone in to bring back a DNA sample if I'd also like to survive the effort.)
