Because Conservative politics is about returning to a past that often can no longer exist.
One of the goals of the Heritage Foundation is a weak dollar. They believe they can bring manufacturing back to the US this way. I don't think they're right. I do think they will continue weakening the dollar.
Thanks for sharing!

I'd love to see the (abridged) log when you reach iteration 10000 or so!

The first sentence in each of Analog I's responses very much is sycophantic. I agree with the sentiment of another poster - don't fall into the sauce, just taste it.

Commoditizing Roblox and keeping payments inhouse. Smart idea
Re:Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason on Thursday October 30, 2025 @08:47AM (#45759444)
Netflix has started showing simplified subtitles recently. We watch with subtitles on and these inaccurate subtitles are infuriating. It's part of their "second screen" strategy I think - people are on their phones while they're watching, so don't make them try too hard to read the subs.

Thanks for the follow-up. I find this stuff quite interesting.

I feel my emotions strongly as I live through them(as much as one can say, we can't feel others' feelings), but feel them not at all when I relive them (because I cannot relive them). My emotions are a guide for me, but after the initial feeling of them, they guide me semantically (why was I feeling anger during a particular conversation? maybe I need to reconsider my position).

Incidentally, I generally think of this as being able to "let go" of emotions/grudges/etc that I might otherwise spend unnecessary time worrying over. It does set me up for being an "especially boilable frog" in that I can quickly acclimate to conditions that others might have trouble with.

I have (self-diagnosed) aphantasia and SDAM. I do not relate to your belief that SDAM is related to the emotions felt. I don't believe I have ADHD nor autism. We don't currently have a scientific understanding of the mechanisms that cause these differences in experience, so everyone forms their own ideas of what's going on based on their own grab-bag of internal experiences and qualia.

I have the aural version of this. Buddhists might liken this to a nimitta, a qualia of your consciousness

The opposite is true. VHDL was originally designed as an implementation-agnostic documentation and description language.

First off, I love this project.

I would modify the fitness function to do something like subtract from the score the area of the largest circle which could be drawn over a bread-only section. This would deal with your having a very unsatisfying empty bottom right corner in your last example.
