  And honestly lightweight neural nets can make for some interesting enemy behavior as well. I’ve seen a couple games using that and wouldn’t be surprised if it caught on in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m done with this conversation now because you’re being willfully ignorant (as expected). One quote talking about characteristics is out of context for this discussion. There is a wealth of other context here that you are intentionally ignoring, specifically the many parts showing that scientists do not all agree with a reductionist definition only considering gametes. Your claim that no other definition makes sense is absolute bullshit in the scientific community and you should be ashamed for pretending it’s the only definition out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you’re just here for the argument, and I’ve wasted enough time on this already. The “gamete size” simplification is Trumpist propaganda and not based in actual rigorous science.

  Actual biologists agree that bodies without sex organs don’t fit into the binary definition

  Hormone expression (in addition to gamete size) is also a critical factor that scientists use to define sex

  Determining “organization” in cases of “physical anomaly” via chromosomes is unreliable

  1.3% of people are born intersex, and “intersex” represents an entire continuum

  Educate yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not true, there are definitely people both without any sex organs whose body “organization” is incapable of producing any gametes. There are people who are able to produce both gametes. Sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting LALALA does not make these people magically disappear. You cannot argue “well part of their body organization is invalid because of reasons”.

  This is classic Dunning-Kruger shit where just because you learned a little about gametes you think you’re an expert, but there’s a huge world of exceptions out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a ridiculous definition conjured up by people trying to claim there’s only two sexes. It has effectively no practical use considering gametes on their own are useless for reproduction without an entire system of hardware surrounding them. Plus it guarantees at least three sexes - people who don’t produce gametes at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In s thousand years we will be perfectly evolved to consume nothing but raw unfiltered high fructose corn syrup.

  Kick his ass in Fortnite, obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scandal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think anybody who pays attention is surprised about that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon travels overseas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the corn syrup more than the fried food honestly. The number of people who drink soda all day is wild.

  Ice Bear apparently

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The appeal of the hotdog is the convenient mouth-sized cross section.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Pro"gression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but it’ll be in dev for another year at least. It’s just a little push-your-luck dice-based roguelite dungeon crawler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Pro"gression⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m making a little indie game and I’m definitely putting in a cheats console, just for the nostalgia

  I’m not opposed to the technology per se, but I agree, it doesn’t seem practical in any way right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨School pickup lines are wild⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re going to use that as the leverage they need to get a good deal on it. Usually these types of investment arrangements give first rights of refusal when looting the corpse.

  It’s already calculated, in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's OpenAI losses hidden as part of $4.7 billion 'other' expense — stake in AI company still doesn't turn a profit as companies grapple with ongoing contract negotiation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure we’ll see a bloodbath in the coming years as it all falls apart, and then the big companies like Microsoft and Google will vacuum up the pieces for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨snail lyfe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My niece saw my earrings and asked “if you’re a boy why do you have earrings?” (They are from a very conservative upbringing).

  I simply asked, “Well do you like them?” and of course she said “Yeah!”

  “That’s why, because they’re awesome.”

  If you are worried about too many furries in your line of work, try changing jobs! Maybe get into IT or something?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AHEKOT/ComfyUI_VNCCS: Visual Novel Character Creation Suite is a comprehensive tool for creating character sprites for visual novels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Very cool. Difficult to pull off with SDXL, but looks like they did it!

  I’m thinking Kontext or Nano banana would be a more ideal workflow for this.

  I know I’ll be looking into a similar workflow in the future

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Bureau of Prisons moves to end union protections for its workers - 35,000 employees stripped of union rights⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Unions aren’t where workers get their power from, they get their power by providing labor, and threatening to withhold that labor. If 35,000 workers suddenly didn’t show up to work, or showed up and didn’t do anything, the entire system would collapse immediately.

  The union is simply a convenience for negotiation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, quality is not something that is easy to figure out algorithmically. But adding arbitrary rules like “content length” or “time on page” directly ruins quality by incentivizing content manipulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yea well it still can't have an existential crisis like humans can! Take that!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When search engine optimization becomes a target, content suffers. If Google changed their algorithm to only rank websites with high quality content instead of keyword-stuffed content, we’d see a great improvement in the quality of the internet.
