What I don’t understand are the calls for Biden to step down from the NYT but no calls are made for Trump to step down.

The media is so soft on Trump, lulled by over-exposure, desensitized to his lunacy so he gets a pass too often.

If you see the corruption of our institutions, voting for gop will accelerate that. For a hope of a reversal the only option are democrats. Imperfect yes. But there’s no choice.

The coverage is so asymmetric. Little is said about Trump on the headlines, so consent is manufactured that Biden bad and neutral on Trump.

I think the original text was about ham radio.

The company is called “Safe Super Intelligence”. Not a fan of names like these, kind of like if a company called itself “safe airplanes”, there’s something about it that makes me think it won’t live up to the name.

Not sure how they plan on raising money when so many other AI companies are promising commercialization. A company prioritizing safety will be defeated by another prioritizing profit. A company like this could have flourished in the time before openAI, but right now there’s so much demand for gpus and talent that makes it very challenging to catch up, more so when less scrupulous companies offer more money for engineers. They’d have to hire from a smaller and more limited pool of applicants that believe in the mission.

What are better alternatives to fandom? I see the incumbents name get repeated more often than the alternative unfortunately.

It’s a very fun, silly, well-made game with a very addictive loop where you’re given a lot of small, easily achievable tasks that have you going: “one more and I’m done”.

On Sunday I played for 13 hours. I don’t know if they have a team of psychologists that found out how to make the game addictive, but the results speak for themselves.

It’s a fun and beautiful place to explore, full of vibrant colors and cute pals. Your base building is not boring because the boring resource gathering is automated by your pal slaves. It scratches optimization itches, and you also get raided which can result in hilarious outcomes that give you an opportunity to rebuild and organize your base more efficiently.

I agree, Trump is antifragile and benefits from being kicked off the ballot: he now gets to play the victim even more and helps further radicalize his base.

You’ll have to get it custom made. You can learn to do it yourself, design and get it fabricated. Or see if you can pay someone to for it.

I find it funny that most of the responses are variations of you needing to conform to existing designs. We make tools to conform to us, not the other way around.

It’s bad writing not to define the acronym. Refer to the 10k comic from xkcd.

Bicycle, I like Surly and All-city. I like steel frames, but still have an Al frame plus carbon fiber fork one that I rode for ten years.

Durable, easy to maintain and cheap to fix.
