The reason the statement to not use them for game design purposes matters is that that is often the reason users post the documents. They'd have likely provoked more leaks if they'd stayed silent on that (even though it should be quite obvious).

Though also regardless of what gaijins intentions are, I'm sure at this point russia has someone watching new war thunder forum posts 24/7.

Hmm, as someone relatively deep into lgbtq issues (though particularly trans issues), I'd say the term itself is perhaps a bit misleading. The way I understand it and see it used is that it's about heterosexuality and also gender norms within that traditional heterosexual relationship (so some people think that even in a homosexual relationship there's always "a man" (dominant) and "a woman" (submissive)).

In that sense (to directly relate to the post) a dominant woman in a relationship with a submissive man would actually go against heteronormativity a bit.

On second thought I guess I can see the relation though, in the sense that the traditional "man is dominant in a hetero relationship" combined with the fact that by default most men probably mostly top could make someone see "topping is considered dominant" as reinforcing those traditional relationship norms. Still feels very overreactive by the original commenter but eh.

Heteronormative != heterosexual

I fail to see any issue with the post (like fucking everyone associates topping with dom that doesn't mean it has to be, and the image works), but it's decidedly a complaint about social norms rather than a group. Even if I think it's not a valid complaint because wtf does it have to do with heteronormativity.

Yes, but that doesn't make the comparison to all countries with over 500 000 people meaningful. It's specifically that part that seems dishonest to me.

Though I suppose it is also possible that the full data has a few states where incarceration rates are more around the global average, which then would actually have a point in including other countries. Those weren't part of the image posted here though (which was also dropped without context as to why it was posted)

Edit: yknow it occured to me i could click the link and yea, some states are indeed more normal, though still kinda high. That's really the interesting part far more than the top of the list.

Yes, but that is not how the graph is framed. It's framed as "look, if we put US states on a graph with other countries, they have such a high incarceration rate that there are almost no countries even on the graph!"

If it was honest and just trying to compare the incarceration rate of US states amongst each other (and the national average) it wouldn't be titled "[...] in U.S. states and all countries [...]". It's a clearly manipulative title.

The reason that a graph with this title could maybe make a point if it was absolute numbers is that most U.S. states' population is less than most countries, so if individual states were still high on such a graph, that would be shocking.

Satire based on Israel's rhethoric I'm assuming.

They are, and I agree it's misleading. It's implying that it's somehow shocking that the individual states of the county with the highest incarceration rate in the world also have a high incarceration rate. If it was absolute numbers, it would maybe make a point. As it is, it's stating the extremely obvious and framing it as "look, it's even worse than you thought".

If humans are any indicator, they might also be doing things because they think it's an advantage but actually does nothing.

Yes. Until they get so extreme they ruin your life. That's the whole thing with disorders. (Almost) everyone has some anxiety. Only some people have it so bad it interferes with daily functioning. Adhd is the same. Everyone procrastinates, forgets stuff, gets distracted. Not everyone is incapable of doing basic shit like taking out trash bags for months.

It's great in mobas where skills are universally referred to by their default binding on qwerty (since most layouts have qwer on those keys). So sometimes unaware french people talk about their a and z skills and everyone else is just confused

And I'd bet that a significant portion of that voting block also does not have a favourable view of israel, so uh what? Someone being jewish doesn't mean they automatically agree with israels actions, unlike what israeli propaganda would like you to believe.

Get your own domain and use it for mail routing to whichever email service of your choice. Afaik gmail offers this, and so does probably any other decent email provider. That way if a provider turns to shit, you just need to set up with a different one, but don't have to change any accounts.

Downside: you will have to pay for that domain for the rest of your life (or change all accounts again)

I've been meaning to do this for a while, maybe I'll finally do it now.

If you mean Kinder Joy that's a different product that we have in europe as well

AI does not have a consistent definition. It wouldn't be wrong to call an automatic thermostat that adjusts the heating based on measured temperature "AI". It's basically down to how you define intelligence, then it's just a computer doing that.

Oh damn. Very good article btw.

According to numbers floating around online, thiat would mean one llama query is around as expensive as 10 google searches. And it's likely that those costs will increase further.

It still seems like the biggest factor here is the scale of adaptation. Unfortunately the total energy costs of AI might even scale exponentially since the more complex the queries get, the better the responses will likely be. And that will further drive adaptation.

This pace is so clearly unsustainable it's horrifying, and while it was obvious to some degree, it seems it's worse than I thought.

I love nihilism because accepting that nothing inherently matters allows me to focus on the things that I decide matter to me. It also makes it easier for me to accept those things I dislike but am truly powerless to change.

I think I'd be so much unhappier if I was in some constant pursuit of a universal meaning of life, or felt like I had to fulfill some inherent purpose.

Using it, not all that energy intensive (one llm use is roughly the same as 3 pre-ai-bullshit google searches iirc). Training it, very energy intensive.

Yes it would but we haven't even replaced all our previous needs with renewables so it aint helping.

Tbf there's a konbini with trash cans every few hundred meters. Only issue being if you don't buy something it's not considered ok to use them afaik, but can just buy sth to eat immediately and throw away the packaging there or just something smaller than your trash and bring it with you after.

Or honestly ignore it because realistically as a tourist all your trash came from the previous konbini anyway and it would just even out. Just don't go there to dump whatever.

The citations metric is also slanted, because pretty much all countries will cite english papers regardless of the language of the paper being written, but all non anglo countries also produce a significant part of papers in the local language, which are much less likely to get cited.

Which is not the same as the effects of urban sprawl destroying their habitat (however this is obviously impossible to quantify)
