They’re bashing millions of dollars in equipment with tens of thousands of dollars in equipment. There is absolutely positively no way for them to win the war but they can make it so prohibitively expensive as to be untenable. That’s the only strategy that ever worked against imperial armies.
You think therapists and doctors in general don’t use Docs or Notes services that are hosted or backed up in the cloud ? You think having your medical data leaked to tech companies is new ? Just because the notes transcription app is AI doesn’t make it magically worse. In fact it makes the data harder to access as you need to re-infer the whole enchilada if you want to mine it (as opposed to, say, Google Drive who can just make a SQL query on your data and get it structured and ready to use).
It’s nice that mental health is so inconsequential to you that you can balance it against privacy purity politics. It’s really cool for you that you’re in this position of privilege. It’s not cool to be pushing on someone with a clinical condition in a way that will probably get them worse off, in a country with absolutely no mental health safety net. Just like antivax it’s coated in fake concern, but you’re playing a dangerous game with someone else’s life and you’re cool with it because you’re insulated from the consequences.
You guys really are a pure product of those amoral hyper-individualistic times.
By god they’re going to make OP change doctors just because they hate “le stochastic parrot”. And op is probably in the US which makes the whole thing even crueller.
Literally a horde of teenagers playing with a bipolar’s head because they have big feelings about stuff.
And all this for a fucking note taking app Jesus Christ. Yeah sure OP is probably risking their mental health in the process but who gives a shit about that when you have an occasion to proclaim that le AI bad.
Having forgotten stashes is the sign of a true data hoarder
you know you have the option to just exchange ideas with other humans right ? fucking half cocked pseudo intellectual reaching for insults at the first 3 syllable word. what a bore.
you think religion represents 90% of the intellectual discourse?
No, i’m saying 90% of intellectual discourse is at least influenced by religion because it comes from people who are religious. Atheism being significant is a very modern phenomenon so if you’re going to study anything in history, philosophy, art or science, it’s gonna be full of religious people acting out their religious beliefs.
Even today something like 4 out of 5 people are religious, and most atheists are influenced by that common culture in some way. Dismissing the whole cultural reservoir as fairy tale is a terrible footgun, it can only make everything confusing. Everybody else is pulling from it and you refuse to even acknowledge it, that’s not gonna work.
You’re going to read poetry but it will make no sense and the climax won’t land because you can’t empathize with the religious sentiment. You’re going to read greek philosophy but it will feel drawn out and theoretical because you can’t empathize with the religious imperatives of the author. And i say this as a strict agnostic, i’m really not the kind of guy you’ll find in a church. But you can’t get to the meat of most intellectual discourse if you dismiss religion, just like you can’t get to the meat of most physics if you dismiss math.
Yeah it’s pretty sad to see comments such as this. It’s a terribly unpoetic way to live life, cutting themselves off from 90% of the intellectual discourse produced during humanity’s history :(
But this is just speculation. The fact is, systemd introduced a new optional field in the local database. They don’t publish an OS so they have no obligation to do anything more, actual implementation would have to happen in other projects.
What this is, is a spite-fork by some random AI researcher and anybody installing that on their system has way larger problems here and now than hypothetical ID verification in the maybe future.
It’s saying that you can invent an infinite number of hypothetical futures but they are not useful for making decisions in the here and now
The significance of Jesus is the movement he spawned. I’m not talking about the Catholic church as it was codified by the Romans a few centuries after his death, but about the movement of Jesus which spread far and wide directly after he died. This movement flourished not by the blade and the authority of oppressive regimes, but because it simply spoke deeply to people, especially the poor and disenfranchised. This kind of thing only happened a handful of times during history.
He was important because he created a blueprint for resistance of the oppressed, in a time where such resistance was a very hard sell because it went so contrary to the norms and cultures.
I think a good pointer when you want to approach religion from a sane perspective is to treat it as primitive tech. For example, modern people know that you need to separate science from politics from law from history from psychology etc… and have a different system for each. But pre-modern people didn’t necessarily know that, so religious doctrine had to serve several, sometimes incompatible purposes. You look at it and it’s like a shovel that has a hammer on it and part of the hammer can be used as a screwdriver. It makes no sense but at the same time it kinda does and it sure has dug a lot of holes and tightened a lot of screws over millennia.
Keep in mind the ecosystem had a few billion years prep time
I got 100 francs a week which is roughly 15€, but it was supposed to pay for my train tickets to and from boarding school. However if I played my cards right and skipped one ticket I could have 50 francs which could buy one iron maiden album (used) from the local record store.
that’s the kind of attitude i loathe in real life. “I’ve thought about it for 5 minutes and reached a hasty conclusion and everyone is stupid for not having thought of it”, except everybody has thought of it minute 1, some have even tried it, and we know it doesn’t work.
Honestly in terms of late 1800s engineering, pi = 3.2 is accurate within 2% it’s not that scandalous
If i recall correctly, you can hammer the coin when it’s cold to put the decorations on it, but you still need to melt the metal at some point to get it at the right thickness and give it the circular shape. I may be wrong tho
I think where it breaks down is that even 1 coin a day is already insanely high for medieval times. A modest person would earn maybe 10 coins a year, if they are somewhat qualified or really good at what they do. And that’s only for people living in cities.
For most people, living in the countryside, they would see very little currency. You’d mostly own what you could build, grow, raise or barter, and you’d rarely have enough surplus that you could sell for coin. To get 1 gold coin you’d have to sell 2 or 3 sheep but how often would a modest person have animals they don’t absolutely need to keep ? Not something that’s going to happen every year.
Even the innkeeper would not see 365 gold coins a year, that kind of revenue would be way upper class.
Still metallurgy is not cheap in terms of energy when you only have wood to burn!
So yes, you think this is normal human behaviour. Good luck with that shit, i hope the world treats you with the same energy.
That’d be hilarious because they promised a bazillion data centers and barely delivered 3 and now 1 might get bombed.
