Maybe we should put these crackers on the other side of the tip screen so they know what its like to look at a menu board and know what not a single one of the items on it is
Israel used to be listed as an advanced persistent threat against the United States.
Shut up nerd, let them make murder island.

Why do you link homeopathy to water memory?
This is a pretty neat and pragmatic way to avoid some pitfalls of welfare while still helping the poor.
Just an anecdote but I'm seeing more people in my circle turn to Orthodoxy as protestants do their usual thing and we see some serious issues in the Catholic Church. Here are some nice 'anti-modernist papal encyclicals' if the low IQ approach of protestantism or the growing modernism in Catholicism is bothering you:

On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism (Mirari vos, 1832) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/greg16/g16mirar.htm

On the Restoration of Christian Philosophy (Aeterni Patris, 1879) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/leo13/l13cph.htm

On Capital and Labor (Rerum novarum, 1891) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/leo13/l13rerum.htm

On the Doctrine of the Modernists (Pascendi Dominici gregis, 1907) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius10/p10pasce.htm

On Christian Marriage (Casti connubii, 1930) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11casti.htm

On Atheistic Communism (Divini Redemptoris, 1937) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11divin.htm

You mad? That shit is normal in 99% of the world.
Musk is just Howard Hughes of the modern era - a front for the military industrial complex.
Pretty cool. Would love a site like this except for flexibility. Bookmarked.
So tired of this climate change moralising.
Strangely enough the Tutsis were the aggressors and the Hutu were the ones who were slaughtered.
A benefit of this is the resurrection of the cash economy and death of CBDC.
Scientism is a hell of a drug.
You might need a nvidia GPU for your LLM training case tbh.
Re:Perhaps Twitter Has Not Been DDoSing Itself on Sunday July 02, 2023 @11:43AM (#36562530)
I can't view it - probably because I don't have twitter. What does this mean for old tweets linked in news articles?
Re: on Sunday July 02, 2023 @01:08AM (#36558411)
UBI would be rad if they weren't going to link it to a CBDC - but they will simply because labour has no more bargaining power in that sort of world. You'll get what you're given and you vill like it.

I reckon that a software developer has built a certain mental sophistication within themselves that will always be one step above the rest of the prompters because a brainlet in charge of AI prompts is still a brainlet.

One of my favourite all-time comments on HN was the guy that was constantly trying new experimental sweeteners just for fun and ended up with something that bound to his tastebuds for months. I can't find it.

From 1870 to 1910, annual consumption per capita rose from 1.7 gallons of alcohol to a peak of 2.6 gallons. Prohibition raised the costs of consumption, created legal risks for violators, and, in much of the country, helped create a widely accepted “dry” culture. Consumption of alcohol from 1920 to 1925 fell by 50 to 70 percent, and fell by 30 percent for the entire period of prohibition, which was the steepest decline in the whole of American history. Rates of cirrhosis of the liver dropped by 10 to 20 percent, deaths from acute alcoholism fell from 7.3 per 100,000 people in 1907 to 2.5 in 1932, and arrests for public drunkenness and rates of alcoholic psychosis declined as well.

People who peddle opiates need a shotgun shoved in their mouths, and so do the users.

100,000 deaths a year from overdosing is not moral. Put the fear in the hearts of producers and consumers and you save a million lives in a decade.

The most compassionate law is the death penalty for production or use of illicit drugs.

Maybe, but if I had ties to a convicted pedophile, child sex trafficker and politician blackmailer for mossad I would hope my response when confronted about it would draw more scrutiny than Noams did when he said "First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s."
