- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 1 day ago:
OP: Destructive interference as illustrated here is the basis of active noise cancellation (ANC) in headphones.
In theory it is a microphone on the outside of the headphones that has the outside sound inverted and mixed into whatever is playing from the speakers inside the headphones. The undesired outside noise reaches inside the headphones at the same time as the inverted signal is played so that they cancel each other out.
In reality there is some more complexity, as always, but it’s the core principle.

Yeah but not one “master” language. All knowledge it can relate across languages is available in all languages. LLM (and computers) don’t care about the data, they just process it. Humans would translate it and compile it in ordered encyclopedia. For LLM it is all just an insane number of references and cross references all over that is available from anywhere that the link has been established. The input/output of desired language and formulation and whatever is a different part of it.
As far as I understand it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I know that the current generation of LLM have a language agnostic knowledge base, which is damn awesome, but I don’t know how the language layer works.

- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 2 weeks ago:
It all comes down to plausibility. A repeat offender that clearly doesn’t give a flying fuck or somebody that pays for trash collection services and has no reason to dump their garbage but they also have an asshole neighbour with a personal vendetta. Or it is building materials and that address just had work done Or they paid a contractor for work and cleaning up and the contractor dumped it on the forest. I’m sure the authorities won’t bother with it if it happens once but when it’s the second or third time with the same suspect, well then you actually have a case.
- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 2 weeks ago:
Carefully check for labels with name and address and then contact the authorities.

- Comment on How would you run a society? 4 weeks ago:
It doesn’t have to be a person or an entity or deity.
I haven’t been nerdying on religion for much long many moons but AFAICR Buddhism has this core idea that “yeah we have symbols and chants and icons and totems and rituals and we pray but the more we dedicate ourselves we understand that they are just there for us to see beyond them into the nothing and the everything”. In Buddhism this has evolved into place, so it would be interesting to see if it was possible to kickstart straight into some sort of non deity centric anti religion without the animistic precursory heritage.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 4 weeks ago:
I’d prefer not to. I’d like to make it Buddhist philosophy inspired non-religion if possible. But people seem to have this need of something to gather around and have rituals and festivities and believe in so religion is still useful. I’m thinking it would be easier to get everybody pulling together early on in a theocracy though the deep teaching aims to dissolve itself.
The teachings would promote (or demand) something of an egalitarian society with food and shelter and healthcare for everybody and encourage learning and education and culture and arts and own responsibility and critique and discussion and questioning the whole shebang in orderly fashion with ongoing goals of improving it for everybody.
- Comment on How would you run a society? 4 weeks ago:
First steps would be to create a religion with all the usual “be kind and caring and patient and forgiving and nice in general to others and yourself” and then “do not be an asshole unless the others were an asshole first and then you may respond in moderation with an appropriate pinch of extra salt” and the ritual of an Aztec pyramid with slice and dice and flush them down the sewage sacrifice of any billionaires and power hungry totalitarians and corrupt public servants. Every year that do not require any sacrifice pleases the gods. But any year it is needed, the gods are content that required action was taken.
- Comment on What causes individual variation in what animals you like? 4 weeks ago:
Biological programming goes a long way.
It goes hand in paw with being instinctively scared of things that can potentially kill you and other species evolution with patterns and markings that make them less likely to become a succulent meal, Chinese or not.
- Comment on What is it about humans when society rewards individuals with the power of millions they want to use it to fuck up society? 1 month ago:
I’ve been leaning lately to understanding all the weird shit going on that people are just people are driven by whatever inherited animal traits that made humans the dominant species on the planet in the first place. Expansionist hoarders of resources until we run out and then expand again. Until there is nowhere more to expand. Then it be war times.

As far as we know, from what OP has told. But it doesn’t really matter. The only thing that matters is that OP moves on. Both OP and this girl will be better off without this toxic interaction of theirs.

Harsh truth for you bud. She doesn’t like you and she probably hates you for trying to get her to like you. She treats you bad because you let her and keep coming back for more. Honestly, I’d hate anybody doing that with me. I’d lose all my respect for that person very fast. I think most people do. This is on you to accept it and get on with life. She’s already made it clear that she’s not interested in whatever you are hoping for.

From my Xennial experience, some time in the 00s. Maybe because the wide spread (heh) availability of internet porn, but I don’t really know. 90s were bushy. 00s was a transitional era and 10s and onwards are bald eagles everywhere.
(Personally I don’t enjoy shaving my parts, I don’t enjoy having shaved parts and I prefer lady parts with some trimmed carpeting rather than both desert dunes or wild djungles.)

- Comment on Why Are People Surprised When Trump Actually Follows Through? 2 months ago:
It could also be conditioning and culture. A lot of American culture seems to be centered on the ego, the satisfaction of the ego and then a very fast escalation to anger and violence if the ego is perceived to be threatened.
I don’t think it is realistic to wish it go away with the generation exposed to lead paint. And I doubt it is productive to make microplastics the new excuse.

- Comment on Why did Nvidia stock drop with R1 hype? 3 months ago:
Because stock traders have no interest in any company or any product. They are all about staying one step ahead of the next trader. As opposed to investors that also have no interest in any company or any product. They are all about the next quarterly report.
This economic system is bullshit.
- Comment on ADL defends Nazi salute 4 months ago:
I’d imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can’t gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.
I’d imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it’s not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.
