  How does it relate? How can what the kid is doing be globalized? The IDF is in Israel and neighboring areas in the ME. The only interpretation that connects with globalizing that fight is to equate Jewish people around the world with Israel. And that deserves to be banned rhetoric.

  But why expect and plan for something that makes no sense? Sure, we can’t prove there’s no continued sentience once the brain dies, but there’s no logic that leads to that. It’s just wishful thinking. And that’s how people have been duped into religious mumbo jumbo for ever.

  Hard to know what these cunts we’re thinking. But we can guess that with their nutty religious perspective, they see everything in terms of religion. The U.S. is a Christian power that enables Israel. So Christians and Christmas could be legit revenge targets in their eyes. Who knows?

  I use ai tools for embedded code generation regularly. They are getting noticeably better by the month. The tools that wrap the ai direct it better and the reasoning systems really work out pretty complicated systems quite well now. One still needs to know how to architect stuff, and be aware to redirect it when it goes off the rails, but there’s absolutely no doubt that it speeds up coding and can do a good job.

  They are terrible now, but they will get better and better. The code will be at least AI-assist generated regardless.

  But why should it matter at all? They don’t list whether the game was written in c++ or c# because it makes no difference. What matters is the game play. If it’s good, it’s good.

  Ok. I admit I’m not really into the scene and so I’m talking generically. But I see my daughter watch hours of YouTube of other people playing new games and commenting (rather moronically) on them. Seems like a pretty it should be pretty easy to see if the game is worth your money before you buy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dry Shampoo is the teenage girl equivalent to teenage boys' Axe Body Spray⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only a small amount of the powder gets removed by brushing. It mostly functions by absorbing the grease and staying on the hair. And adding perfume. Which works, so it’s great and all. Proof that it doesn’t take all the grease away is that you can’t just keep applying dry shampoo, eventually it gets really nasty.
  I don’t understand the ablist part. I’ve used the stuff on my daughters occasionally just because typical chaos mornings made it really useful. But I had to explain to them how they still needed to wash their hair regularly. Same would go for someone who has difficulty washing their hair for reasons other than running out of time.
  Use whatever tools work for you. But the marketing of the product is quite misleading - but effective as can be seen by people thinking it actually removes a significant amount of grease from the hair.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK wind farms generate a record 22.7 GW of power on a single day⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  New tech is almost always more expensive as it is being developed. It becomes more efficient over time as it scales up and as improvements are figured out. You only see the new tech becoming available at the retail level once it’s cost has come down to around the same as that of existing solutions (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play). So the new stuff comes in at the same price, but then has the potential to get cheaper to produce. Of course, unlesss there is an abundance of supply, the retail user won’t see a cost reduction (unless there are non-market forces, like governmental policy at play) because the business using the new tech will charge what the market will bear to maximize profits. And the market cost is already established with the old tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting take. But there is some truth to the notion of ‘human nature’. Humans do act certain ways; we retract from pain, we attempt to solve problems and communicate. Whether it is ‘human nature’ that dictatorship power corrupts people can only be inferred by the examples we have seen. If you can show that a dictatorship didn’t lead to abuse of power in some significant number of cases, then it would be proven false. But there’s the problem - and it’s more of a logical one - no system can make everyone happy and so from at least some perspectives, any political system will be seen as corrupt by some. So we can never have a dictatorship that isn’t considered corrupt. Just like we can’t have a democracy / capitalist society that isn’t considered corrupt by some. All we can do is look at observed general patterns and try to extrapolate. And there aren’t enough examples to do a really convincing statistical analysis. So far it seems that humans in power always abuse that power, so it’s reasonable to conclude that that is a natural human tendency, like continuing to breath when able.
