Curious if it’s for gaming applications specifically, or if people want the extra memory for things like stable diffusion

Yes, I am disagreeing with human pattern recognition. People absolutely do not work towards their rational self interests. Ayn Rand is/was wrong. People have been voting against their own self interests for decades. Centuries. People ALREADY are reaping the results of their actions. What do you think leopardsatemyface is? How many of those stories conclude with “still a trump supporter tho”?

What is empathy? I don’t have some wild definition. Cambridge is fine “the ability to share someone else’s feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person’s situation.”

Set aside any moral justification for empathy if you want, it’s not even required to make the case for why you should have it.

If you want to change someone’s behaviors, ESPECIALLY ones that are from your perspective irrational, you need to understand why they’re doing them in the first place. Empathy is how you can understand that.

If you don’t have empathy (Like Ayn Rand, for example) you’ll end up with a wildly inaccurate model for someones behaviors (as in, they’re working towards their rational self interests), and as a result your strategies for making a difference is going to be ineffective.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle”

STRICTLY from a PRAGMATIC angle, empathy is a critical tool.

Empathy and tolerance aren’t the same thing.

You should not tolerate intolerance.

All of that, ALL OF IT, is completely tangential to the concept of empathy.

I get it, you’ve got a lot of hate. You SHOULD hate Nazis. It’s an uncomfortable challenge to have the capacity for empathy for someone you hate.

And like, I don’t understand how people can’t recognize the value of empathy even for a strictly pragmatic purposes. A byproduct of people with strong empathy skills is they’re good at predicting what someone is going to do.

Honestly, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid if you mentally explore someone else’s situation from that persons perspective, feel the way they feel… That what? YOU’LL suddenly realize YOU’RE actually a Nazi too? Whoopsie Poopsie? Give yourself a little more credit than that.

Anyhow, you and Elon should go for beers sometime and just agree with eachother all night about how you shouldn’t empathize with people.

Edit: also, for the record, the right wing appeals to the paradox of tolerance to justify what they do to undocumented people. They broke the law, the social contract, so the law doesn’t apply to them (insert hillbilly laugh).

You’re still muddling concepts.

Someone can be blameworthy. That’s one thing.

Then bad things can happen to them, and those things might be just. They might DESERVE those things. That’s another thing.

Can you feel empathy towards that person, that’s a third thing still.

I can’t stress enough: these three concepts are distinct.

It’s also worth pointing out how lacking empathy actually trends towards horrible actions, and that those horrible actions often produce reactions baffling to the empathy less and obvious to those with empathy.

Honestly, what you’re describing sounds a LOT like the lines out of Israel Re: Palestinians. The royal “they” support Hamas? Time for consequences, or they’ll never learn. Oh, now they hate us even more? The generational cycle of hatred continues? How could they not graciously accept our lessons?

Like… It’s the obvious outcome. Intentionally thrust people into poverty to teach them a lesson?

I understand where it comes from, the Trump stuff. I get it. There is no justice. It’s FRUSTRATING.

One can dream of justice without lusting for punishment

Don’t confuse a thirst for justice with a disdain for empathy. Killing your own empathy ISN’T justice, and the only thing you’ve done is made yourself lesser. Send not to know for whom the bell tolls

I agree that they brought it on themselves.

There are a few concepts that are getting muddled here, blameworthyness, and empathy. Both for you as the observer, and they as the subjects.

I don’t think it’s good to equate the two. They’re distinct.

Should a laid-off oil worker struggling to feed their family be worthy of empathy from a republican voter if they themselves had voted Democrat? Would you celebrate the republican proudly declaring they had no empathy?

Would Elon Musk be celebrating your announcement now? He has declared empathy to be weakness, and you’ve announced that you’ve managed to squash yours for a large swathe of the population.

People can be to blame for their own pain. Does that mean they deserve no empathy?

And, what have you done to yourself in doing so? What human part of yourself have you killed or let whither to get to where you are now?

It’s easy to be empathetic to people who are like yourself. It’s more difficult to be empathetic to those different.

Regardless of blameworthyness, I don’t think we should be proud of our ability to feel no empathy for others. It may be the case, but that’s a personal weakness.

Guess we doin rockets now

Cakes predate the Earl of Sandwich so really a sandwich is a subset of cake

At work whenever we need to build little command line tools, my team is always vexxed by my guideline to have the meat+potatoes in a script that reads well-formatted data off stdin , and outputs well formatted-data to stout. They always wanna have some stupid interactive prompts and saving to files baked right in.

This is exactly why. You wanna save to a file?? > file

You want to read from a file? cat |

You want to save to a file but swap commas for colons? Sed.

You get so much FOR FREE w/ the GNU toolkit, even for what you build yourself, by thinking in streams.

GOOD FOLLOW UP!!

I was about to shit a brick that you went from “go to the official trusted source” to “just trust me: curl [x] | sudo bash”

Directly from my ass, it’s my assumption that the primary maintainers just don’t have an incentivize the cost of supporting older devices and the disparate hardware configurations.

Like, planned obscellesance or not, smartphone churn is going to happen anyways. People lose them, smash them, fall into a pool with them, decide they NEED the newer camera soldered into them, etc…

It’s not like there are old phones in a closet somewhere propping up business critical infrastructure like with computers.

The cost vs utility of maintaining forward features and security patches for a massive catalog of hardware configurations just isn’t there.

They’re either trying to get your goat, or it’s genuine. Either way, it’s not making the world any better by bestowing upon yourself the title of judge and enforcer. You’re either taking bait or you’re a fucking cop. “Ok” is all you gotta say.

I’m uncomfortable with the idea that the only reason that being trans is valid is because of biological factors.

If we could construct a human that came into existence without being Female at some gestational point, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans? If someone has a thyroid problem such that they their body CAN’T handle a sex hormone, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans?

I feel like we’re looking for a 9-D chess play when a 1-D play is sufficient: you say you’re trans, you’re trans. I’m not the fucking cops

Should I be concerned anons?

Based on the post, I think it already had a LiPo charge unit on the board and they just slapped a higher capacity battery on it? Still hella sweet.

From the post, it sounds like it’s just whatever they ripped out of an old pair of Bluetooth headphones… So probably a proprietary purpose-built PCB rather than something more generalized like an esp32 or something.

Still only glancing off of the root of the issue: Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Study was done in mice, and it relies on massaging specific lymph nodes which are easily accessible for massage (sounds like most of the lymph nodes related to the brain-flushing mechanism are too deep in the neck to really get at).

Super curious if/where humans have analogues.

Site but on the blockchain. Site but in the metaverse. Site but with NFTs. Site but with AI.

I’m in fintech and honestly I wouldn’t have made any of these assumptions… Because I’ve long ago given up on the idea that any real world system is anything better than loose heuristics.

Like, I could be pleasantly surprised at some point… But honestly even if a PO swore up and down that something was “certain” I probably wouldn’t even believe them.

I’m also surprised that they didn’t mention that a flight could arrive on a calendar day before it departs.
