Yep. I mostly eat meat for the benefits to my athletic training. Plant-based protein is just inferior. I am also constantly aware that my eating meat is unethical, but prioritize my training over ethics at the moment. I would switch to dece

They're not jobless slaves, they are job having people who are losing their jobs. If there was a better job available they'd do it. Now they are going to be homeless I assume.

The concept of "athletic clothes" implies it is a synthetic material inherently. If you wanted a cotton athletic shirt, that's just a cotton shirt of which everyone has many. The thing that makes it 'athletic' is

I find this shocking though not unbelievable. Could you share how you measure this accurately? I'm interested in integrating such measurements into our services as well.

This company contacted me; turns out they just want AI data labelers. One of the strangest interview/HM calls I've ever had.

I think cultural is probably the thing that has benefits, but they are so intertwined that they're essentially the same or impossible to extricate. Anyone who has visited Japan can understand that there is some benefit to racial/c

It isn't ok to acknowledge that racial (cultural) homogeny has any benefit to a society whatsoever?

It's okay to acknowledge that diversity has some downsides, and homogeny some upsides. We can be intellectually honest enough to admit this, right?

Reminder that Utah has laws preventing this outcome ("free range parenting laws") and other states can follow suit with enough outcry. Utah is the best state to raise children for this and many other reasons.

Yeah when you just pretend everything you don't like is "hate" then your own position is bound to end up sounding pretty reasonable.

I have a theory that democracy will in the not so far future begin to be a disdained form of government, and it will happen because the Internet makes people think, or realize, too many voters are too dumb to be enfranchised in a rational s

How do you account for the lots of smart and seemingly-honest people who are saying they've earnestly tried it and find it not useful? These are all just personal accounts. The only empirical evidence we have is the output, but there i

This is so maddening. I'm tech lead and I run a tight ship on the repo I'm in charge of, all PRs unofficially wait for my approval (it's mostly juniors), but if I ever go on PTO, people just approve absolute shit. It is a com

Why are you paying them if they insist on remaining meat proxies?

Well unfortunately it's not the realm of Vulcan logicians. That's how it is, among most of the target audiences. If you want to see the story I'm sure you can find a playthrough on YouTube?

I occasionally do this in code comments that I believe will be relatively permanent. It's a nod to the reader, a signal that an author was here and that he cared for this code. When you open a file headed by this sort of text, you rela

"You need to..." implies "for me to read it", me possibly being a proxy for others, and nothing more. So responding to "You need to do X for me to read it" with " I don't need to do anything. You can

How would I discern that from the AI slop images and AI formatting? What you just said is not signal, it's things you privately know. There are a lot of blogs out there. You need to appear superficially worth reading before I know your

Why would I not just type in "how do I correctly balance towards action in a new role" into chatgpt and read that instead? I have no signal that the author did anything beyond that himself.

The reason TDD never really caught on is because it doesn't really work. You don't know in advance what tests need to exist. A test suite is not sufficient to understand the program. Nor is a spec sufficient to understand the prog

I am pretty tired of this analogy because it does not hold up to scrutiny. The purpose of a programming language is to describe a logical routine in deterministic nonambiguous language. A program is a set of nonambiguous instructions. Heigh
