Honest question: Do you write these top-level comments with LLM assistance? The 2-3 sentence structure in restating a summary of the post is remarkably consistent.

The stockers at the stores must have plugged them in wrong. Next year, we’re spending €600,000 on training to get entry-level employees up to speed on company values so they don’t do this again.

Might technically fall afoul of anti-spam legislation if you don’t respect unsubscribe requests, though I’m not sure if that’s specifically for commercial email in the US, and it’s not like unsubscribing from one instance of this would do much. Probably easy to filter, though.

Looks a lot like the 2019-2022 situation that led up to the current government, where the Zionist opposition wants Netanyahu out but can’t offer anything substantial enough to earn a majority themselves and won’t touch the pro-Palestinian parties that would let them bridge the gap with a 10 foot pole. Get ready to start following news about the 2027 elections, I guess.

AI GPUs have specialized very heavily for neural networks, including things like going down to 8- or 4-bit floats in favor of more parallelization. Most of that hardware is just useless for graphics tasks at this point.

He likely would have had a coalition if not for the fact that huge portions of the Palestinian-Israeli population, who usually abstain from voting because they don’t want to acknowledge the Israeli regime as legitimate, actually turned out to vote for the first time. Sadly the opposition would rather let Netanyahu win than work with their parties; genocide isn’t even the issue most parties have with Netanyahu. Most of the opposition is pro-genocide, they just think they could do it more efficiently and respectably.

They’re both projects moving away from Unity and to something more tailorable to their needs at a lower level, so it’s not all that strange, really.

They deliberately fired the “let’s try not to commit war crimes” intelligence division because minimizing collateral damage is woke.

Do you think the title would’ve mentioned an “All-American” tank if it had been a 60 year old M48, or do you see the bias at play?

Neat! Genuinely cool to see more models of governance than the default BDFL/cool kids’ club online.

Will community moderation policy be determined by sortition?

Snorting launch. Snorting hack. Snorting go. The possibilities are endless.

It depends, would you consider Sam Altman part of the LGBTQ+ community?

Israel’s entire edge in the tech sector is in lax regulation and a steady supply of experienced, amoral ex-military software engineers. Western entrepeneurs who would otherwise have had trouble finding willing professionals and maintaining legal cover for their adware, data mining, or cyberweapons startup in a home country more concerned with ethics and international relations flocked to Israel over the last couple decades and singlehandedly propped up the local economy.

In return, the US, for instance, gets to wash its hands of the whole affair and say they’re not the ones selling spyware to the Saudis and other western-friendly authoritarian regimes, it’s all out of their control, while American venture capital reaps the rewards of investments in Israeli companies.

It doesn’t have to be a full on quest marker HUD overlay, just being able to glance at a mirror of your phone’s map display in your peripheral vision without taking it out of your pocket would be great.

From what I understand, biological systems regulated by sex hormones require one or the other to work at all. For example, you get one pattern of post-puberty bone growth with estrogen, a different pattern with testosterone, and no bone growth at all if you have neither. These systems also have some counterbalancing factor, like your bones constantly being slowly dissolved to keep calcium in your bloodstream, so if you have no gonads and no supplementary hormones, you essentially speedrun osteoporosis over the course of a few years.

I’m not too clear on other effects, but a lot of things are downstream of “your bones slowly melt,” and lots of other parts of your body rely on sex hormones to regulate them and will have long-term issues without them.

I just think we have different definitions of what accountability looks like. Have a good day.

I’m glad you can get excited at the prospect of a handful of cabinet members getting fined a fraction of the millions they enriched themselves by and getting handed 12-month sentences to be commuted while the people they imprisoned for political gain spend years in concentration camps. Where are the presidents on this list, by the way?

How obsessed can people get with one inconsequential guy for being cringe on the internet?

There’s actually plenty of material to compare to, with a swath of Pal designs that are clearly original, in a similar style with similar inspirations. Then there are models with almost precisely the same silhouette and proportions as iconic Pokemon, which are frankly just worse designs for it, since the altered colors and markings clash with the original concept and result in a generally forgettable whole. They clearly had the skill and motivation to innovate more within their niche, but instead the game is half-full of what feel like hastily painted over placeholders.
