Its crazy how far Romania has gotten in the last 20 years. Can't believe people want to turn back toward Russia smh

I never thought I'd see the web fight for copyright.

For me it seems like all AI issues boil down to "I don't like stions" which is fine but its kinda delusional to pretend it's something else be it silly energy use complaints or hypocritical copyright nonsense.

Yeah idk where to draw like with ml and lemmygrad. To me these are clear net negative on humanity but Lemmy itself got enough traction from sane people to kinda counter balance that.

There's definitely direct economic damage here too beyond just repairs and slowness. It's sniffles business growth because the infrastructure is unreliable.

Sometimes I just like yo imagine how much fun the roads would be without trucks.

As someone else pointed out the donation would also fund .ml moderation time not only the development

If airplane wings could flap they absolutely would. Our biological equivalent is objectively better than any mechanical tech we have right now. It's really hard to beat millions of years of evolution.

You can very easily smooth out passenger's position same way a horse's head feels comfortable on top of a horse.

Why not? Our legs are already better than any wheel could ever get. Why not apply this to robots given they can be good enough

Yet the stock has jumped like 50% while every single indicator is red.

Nah no one's going to bother with new tech for 1% - that's crazy.

No one's claiming that. Trucks can still handle the last mile just like they do it with container ships.

Im no logistics expert byt ship -> train -> semi sounds like a great infrastructure design especially now as the container is interchangeable between all of these mediums.

Bet that semi trucks are more expensive due to road damage and congestion alone.

But american freight trains are laughably bad too

You're not far off - it was put together by dudes who just wanted to socialize and talk philosophy and metaphysic on a porch which is called Stoa thus literally Stoics.

CBT is actually heavily inspired by Stoicism and the author openly credits Stoicism and especially Epictetus :)

Ngl that's a really unsatisfying position imo. There are and have been people who had nothing but suffered in their entire existence with zero meaning like slave babies born with extreme deformities. This thought exercise completely dispels any idea of a present god in my point of view.

Sure but the local monarchies of that time still had strong status and seggregation systems afaik

That's a common misunderstanding and Stoicism is not about detachment. The quote you're referring is mostly a thought exercise to illustrate that dwelling on past is unproductive even in extreme circumstances.

Though contemporary Stoicism acknowledges importance of ritual and grief but it still has to be within reasonable context of dichotomy of control as in you can't change the outcome no matter how hard you grief and you're just losing finite minutes of your life but you can spend this time to fairly honor the event and memories.

Temperance is a key virtue here and its heavily inspired by Aristotel's Golden Mean which says that extremes are really inefficient and should be avoided at all times.

As for strong feelings - Stoicism has nothing against them either. Justice is one of the virtues and its really impossible to get to a just conclusion without strong feelings like sympathy. Though, just like Buddhism, Stoics practice mindfulness and have to choose to go to strong feelings not obey. This is again due to dichotomy of control where thoughts and feelings just appear and we can't do anything here to stop that but we can choose how we react once we process them!

Stoicism is a very powerful framework cause it doesn't really tell you what to do exactly just gives you a logical framework based on human nature. It doesn't mean you becoming a robot - quite the opposite - you should become more human not being hijacked by unfair processes.

If the true meaning of life is to move to the tallest mountain and isolated yourself from everyone and everything then I don't really want to know it thanks gramps

You might be underselling entertainment to yourself here. Experiencing creation and your own interpretation of these creations is pretty fucking magical when you think about it.

Yeah "grand purpose" is almost exclusively for losers. Why is my current purpose not good enough? It reeks of snake oil upsell

Not to bully your belief here but how would you justify this with the fact that God allows many really bad people to live? Just curious of understanding this mindset and I hope this doesn't offend you.
