Not if you have a dog. They’re very clearly aware, have minds, have thoughts, gather information, make decisions, second guess themselves, reflect on the immediate consequences, change their mind… and most importantly, you can observe them

Followup though because it’s too late for an edit - apparently the study authors disagree with me, and think that me not knowing what Michaelmas or chancery or that particular inn or what a lord chancellor is is actually all very important,

Isn’t “low trust society” just the latest racist dog whistle though? When you say ‘low-trust society’ don’t you just mean the third world, populated by brown people? Or are there examples of first world white low trust societies?

I’m a full time front end dev, and I’ve basically accepted at this point that some people are really into tailwind, and some people are not. I’m not, and for a while I strongly preferred working with other devs who were also not… but at thi

Why does the future require two hands to operate? My current iPhone I can hold and use with one thumb - what makes this better than that?

Fascinating. Fucking with children’s education is so fraught, it’s a wonder that they’d be willing to risk it. The author is right, too, those tweets do not strike me as genuinely written by teenagers. Very curious what the real story is he

How would jellyfin be able to tell whether the video files in a directory are movies or tv? What does going nuts actually look like, and what causes it?

No of course not, nor did I need to to read the passage. It sounds to me like you are you are overestimating the importance of all these trivial details - getting caught up in the minutia is exactly what might make this seem (falsely) inacc

hmm I wanted to like this, but for me it's noticeably slower/laggier than the official spotify app, and it's missing common ui features (you can't multi-select and delete from a playlist)

Oh hush, chrono cross was fine. It had a neat elemental combo battle system, an excellent soundtrack, a story that basically made no fucking sense, and like a million optional characters. It was fine.

Interesting to see the complaint about ‘zombie links’ which seems like such a small trivial nitpick.

In my experience, it’s just easier to build it as you go. Every time the bot stumbles, make sure it’s a teachable moment and the lesson is learned. Every once in a while, do some house cleaning. Trying to start with these preset banks of in

I can confidently say that burning man is fun. What type of fun it ends up being for you is the question - the fun scale: https://kellycordes.com/2009/11/02/the-fun-scale/
