Maybe there’s a good argument for nonviolence but “the means dictate the ends” isn’t it imo. It could be that there’s more to it in the book but presented as is I’d say it doesn’t follow logically, I’m going to want to see proof that it’s actually true which is going to be tricky because there are obvious counter examples.

The easiest one is probably Ukraine. I’m sure most Ukrainians want to live in a peaceful and nonviolent society, but if they took your principle to heart there would be no Ukraine right now.

That’s pretty metal

I seem to remember one of the GTA games (maybe San Andreas?) had a stand up set from I think Ricky Gervais as something that would play on the TVs.

A few years ago deciding I actually didn’t owe my dad my participation in our relationship.

Never admire an entire person, only the aspects of the person you find admirable.

Height classes for basketball actually sounds really cool. It’d be interesting to see the different strategies that come into play when people physically can’t reach the ring for example. Or at least I assume it would, I know nothing about basketball but it sounds like it’d be pretty interesting.

Oh ok that’s good…what about volcano ants though?

Well, that works for most of them but what about fire ants?

Impossible

Let’s see who can make a bee lion to the correct answer.

Yes, Google has also moved in this direction with tensor and Gemini nano. I expect to see a lot more movement here over the next few years as there is a big financial incentive to offload all that compute cost as well.

I think the big turning point for that could be the ability to run some advanced models (by today’s standards) on device. Would definitely unlock some pretty cool use cases.

Party on, dude

How to convince dog to snuggle?

Maybe people are just trying to annoy you by purpose.

It’s ok Nintendo, calm down, he didn’t mean that kind.

Eating seeds is a passtime activity

Sounds like you’re an experienced mod already. Care to share any of your own tips?

For me it’s because the bias rating specifically is opaque and can be just plain wrong.

I could block it but if everyone who thought it was a bad idea just blocked it then it wouldn’t get downvoted which might lead people to think everyone generally agreed with it.

At least when it’s downvoted people take a step back and are less likely to just accept what it says.

EDIT: Also worth pointing out in my case at least I did go to the effort of actually trying to provide some constructive feedback on the bot through the proper channels rather than just downvoting and moving on.

That’s awesome! I was surprised at the shift between having to push myself to go vs having a natural pull to go. Definitely makes a huge difference and seeing/feeling changes happening is so motivating.
