- Comment on Philosophy has peaked. Checkmate atheists 5 days ago:
You’re talking about the legal system. Our laws are pragmatic, and account for things like lying.
OPs post is a philosophical question. The premise is whether it’s moral for you to fuck roadkill based on whether you killed it or now. Concerns like lying to a courtroom or to the people around you, are out of scope.
So philosophically:
them doing it intentionally and claiming it was an accident
This would be immoral, since they still killed the animal to fuck it.

that is the western philosophy, yes. The eastern philosophy is to care about your community and environment more, and to try to “fit in”

I’m no physicist, but afaik particle/wave duality was already a thing before quantum. So we were already representing the world as waves aka frequencies aka vibrations. But then we discovered that those waves were composed of smaller waves. The rabbit hole can go on ad infinitum, as we zoom in to these waves trying to figure out the equations behind them, but we keep finding more complexity, like a fractal.

Though it’s crazy that there can be such dramatic variation in bone structure and shape (eg humans vs horses vs bats), yet such homogeneity in the number of bones and their connections (arms connect to shoulders, which connect to spine, etc).
Perhaps the genetic code for the number of bones and their connections, is more resiliant to mutation?

I used to never really care about fashion. Felt like a stupid status symbol. But I once went to a big city in east asia, and I was impressed by how nicely everybody dressed. Everybody felt like they complemented the environment, and I felt like I stook out like a sore thumb.
I feel like that’s an underappreciated side of fashion. Dressing up to fit the environment, to avoid ruining overall aesthetics. It’s less about the individual, more about the community. In this asian city I also noticed that people weren’t as loud and disruptive in public spaces. It feels like the same concept. You try not to make loud noises to disturb others, and you try not to dress so badly as to clash with the environment.
It really feels like a cultural difference between the east and west, and I feel like the west could learn a bit from the east here.
So if you’re going to a fine dining restaurant with ornate decor and chandeliers, dress up in fancy clothes. If you’re just walking around a popular spot in the city, casual is fine but look at how people are dressed around you and try not to clash. The goal isn’t to look amazing and draw attention, the goal is to avoid looking out-of-place.

You don’t need to care normally, but for events like weddings it’s expected for people to care a little more

Do you give a ratings bump for smaller studios and indie games? For example giving an indie game a 7.5/10 instead of a 7/10 if it was a small studio?

Just because it’s on a disc doesn’t mean it can be played offline. The game that started #StopKillingGames was the 2014 game The Crew that was shut down in 2024, and even if you had the physical discs, the game required internet and stopped working after 2024

You can learn discrete at the very beginning. That’s the beauty of it. It’s so simple yet so difficult at the same time. Same with number theory.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 4 weeks ago:
Gamers Nexus released a parts list with better performance for cheaper.
only $70 cheaper…
And it’s more upgradable than the Steam Machine. And it doesn’t suffer from high temps.
And considerably larger. The small form factor of the steam machine is a big advantage for many.
Gamers Nexus just proved that the steam machine is competitively priced in the current landscape

In capitalism, the consumer need only care about two things: the product, and the price. This makes it easy for consumers to compare products and prices, and pick the best “bang for the buck”. Which in turn, incentivizes production efficiency.
Sometimes externalities are factored in. For example carbon taxes. But these are simply factored into the price, so the consumer can still compare products and prices like before.
This “commodity fetishism” that Marx complains about, is exactly what makes capitalist economies so effective and efficient.

it explains it using other formulas. It’s like if the teacher taught you trigonometry using algebra. They expect you to either already know algebra, or to learn it from somewhere else. You could say that the teacher is just restating trigonometric questions in algebraic format, and that might be a fair way to interpret it, but that also might be enough for people who already know algebra

I don’t think in this case the logic is circular, it just explains how the light cone shows that FTL breaks causality, and assumes that you’ll learn the math behind the light cone somewhere else. Maybe the author assumes the light cone can be better learned from other sources

Authoritarianism is the more efficient governing model.
The hard part is picking the right authority. That’s what the other models factor in. But yeah authoritarianism can be more efficient if we pick the perfect authority
Some people have done such horrible things beyond a shadow of a doubt that even death is too much of a mercy. They should be kept alive and tortured mentally and physically every day until they die of natural disease processes.
but…why? What good does this serve? It just wastes time and resources on the torture

I only put “if it’s big” to help readers imagine a large pile and how it would become more inconvenient the larger the pile. Language is not as precise as math or programming. If you’d like you can imagine the sentence as saying something like “imagine a big pile. It’s definitely not O(1)”
- Comment on I also have one 1 month ago:
You’ve probably never actually kept clothes in a pile before. The bigger the pile, the longer it takes to find an individual item
