Adding on to what the other person said, the reason is because we are evolutionarily trained to avoid effort because it uses less energy, same reason people will watch a 30 second youtube short over reading a book.
Alongside that, there are some cases where I’ll be working on something and there’s a task I’m actually working on, and some small aside that I can’t be bothered with at that moment. For instance, I’m processing some data from a file and using it to display differing graphics depending on what’s in the file, but I don’t remember how to open it and read the data. If the llm can give me the code that does that, then I can stay focused on the graphics-creation code (and I most likely revisit the file opening later)

LLMs literally reduce our problem solving capabilities as we use them more. Even if the problems are “easy,” we still lose that muscle and have to rely on the llm more and more.

Yeah usually it’s a question of does this pass the smell test, “every expert and sanitation workers who actually see it firsthand are saying one thing, but we tested it and they’re all wrong!” is like hmmm…
I would be wary of things that purport to be plastics recycling, as the two main issues are 1. It’s still cheaper to make new things rather than recycle 2. The recycled plastic is generally less versatile, which is why you’ll see it in things like Frisbees and knick-knacks.
Not to say it isn’t something we should be doing when it’s feasible, but it’s sort of like going from ICE cars to electric cars, where we’re putting a band-aid on the problem instead of switching to something that isn’t as destructive.

- Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage 1 week ago:
“joke candidate” usually implies someone who enters with no chance of winning just to make a joke. The implication doesn’t match in this case because he has a nonzero chance of winning.

Same with being disabled, growing up I thought disabled people just got helped by everyone in society with everything. Turns out most of the time it’s “do what you were doing before except harder.”

“it” amen brother. 21:51 she’s on screen with the special cam, she leaves for 2 minutes to drink water at about 2 hours then she’s back till ~3 hours.

Yes they might yelp, but the dejected walking is exactly how every dog I’ve ever been around reacts when punished. Put that with him having a remote that looks identical to a shock collar remote and Kaya sitting in 1 spot for 3 hours out of a 4 hour stream daily. Why doesn’t he just show the model? If the proof to clear something up was “move an object in front of a camera” and they refused to do it, how is that a conspiracy to say “well they won’t do something incredibly simple to prove they’re innocent that’s kind of telling” ??
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 5 weeks ago:
It’s possible the dog got startled by him moving his arm. I have never seen a dog get startled and then dejectedly walk over to It’s sleeping spot, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life and that is EXACTLY how a dog who has just been punished reacts. The dog yelps right as he moves his hand and he has a remote that looks identical to a shock collar remote. It is possible there are explanations for all that, it just seems incredibly unlikely to me.
- Comment on [Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast 5 weeks ago:
Weird that he never mentioned that ever, never showed the remote before to clear it up in 5 seconds, never showed any evidence of what he was actually using. If everything points to something, I am more likely to believe that, when the work required to prove it false takes 2 seconds. I guess that’s too high a bar though hey?

A dog in one spot having moved 1 foot in 3 hours out of a 4 hour stream. Thanks for the massive waste of time, have fun in your echo chamber.

Must be a walkie talkie randomly placed on his streaming setup, and the dog reacted like it got shocked, and the dog just likes being in one spot for 10 hours a day and does the droopy ears like it was punished. Every sign points to it but you have to consider, hasan said he didn’t do it.

The dog also does exactly what a punished dog does, droopy ears and moving slowly to the spot they think you want them at, and the dog sitting in 1 spot for 10 hours a day. Granted I haven’t had or seen every dog breed in existance, but I have never seen a dog do any of the things in the video without being shocked yelled at hit or scolded.

I think for a lot of people it is nostalgia, but for me personally oot feels like a really unique kind of game, the pacing the restricted-but-open feeling of the world, same with majora’s mask. The later games seem to be more lighthearted or larger worlds. I would prefer they just make a new game in that style over a remake though, since oot is fine as is and there’s already oot 3d…
- Comment on The speed of light 1 month ago:
Well strangely a lot of things are “it just works that way,” at least to our current understanding, like gravity, electromagnetic forces, things tending towards lower energy states. We could conceivably live in a universe where a ball doesn’t roll down a hill, it just stops where it is and retains its energy.
I saw something called the “fine tuning argument” that said there must be some higher power because our universe could not exist without those constants being what they are, but we also wouldn’t exist to experience it otherwise so ¯\(ツ)/¯
- Comment on The speed of light 1 month ago:
If you mean the relativity part, to my understanding space and time are basically a shared dimension, so the faster something is moving in space the slower it’s moving in time. Why it’s shared, I have no clue.

It’s just the standard conservative play-by-play of It’s not going to happen -> it’s not happening-> maybe it is happening but it’s not our fault -> it is happening but it’s too late to do anything about it. Alternatively replace step 3 with “but the dems do it too!!”

Sometimes areas just have bad drivers. One place i lived people would start driving in middle turn lane for 1/2 a mile to pass someone, people drifting out of their lanes etc. Once I moved that happened 1/10th as often, even though I didn’t drive any differently. Sometimes everyone else really is the problem.
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 1 month ago:
Yeah people who don’t get this are lucky enough to have never experienced long periods of their entire reality being negative. Not just thoughts, the experience of getting little to no positive feelings at all from anything. Living with that for a few days/maybe weeks is bearable, but for quite a few people that’s just their full experience (and loss of community etc makes it worse).
- Comment on Anon is a paramedic 1 month ago:
Yeah people say things like “they’ll get what’s coming to them” which is mostly true if the person never learns or grows, but yeah sometimes people just get away with doing bad stuff and that’s kinda just how it is. It’s fine to be mad at them, the “well I need to get back at them by…” is still focusing on them though. Usually best thing you can do is say “wow what a POS” and try to fix your life for your own sake, sometimes unfair stuff happens and all you can do is try and deal with it.

China has literally stated “we want to merge peacefully but war is not off the table.” Taiwan has said “we want to maintain the status quo.” business-standard.com/…/over-80-of-taiwanese-favo…
Annihilation is maybe the wrong word, but they risk an unwinnable war against the highest population country. They have 0 chance if China decides to strike, and China is likely kept at bay from other countries “interference.” China doesn’t want to destroy Taiwan, it just wants them to rejoin, and will threaten war if they do not comply.
