except:
raising cattle on a commercial scale requires mind boggling resources!
every single study on environmental impacts of food production lists beef as the number 1 worst food source in terms of environmental impacts period.
“Raising cattle doesn’t require anything.” - yeah, in fantasy land.
in case you actually want to know the answer:
it’s the avocado being shipped. and by, like, a mile and a half. it’s not even close.
raising cattle is the single most energy, water, and CO2 intensive food production there currently is.
and your source measured the effects of one single area that cathartic theory is supposed to apply to, not all of them.
your source does in no way support the claim that the observed effects apply to anything other than aggressive behavior.
i understand that the theory supposedly applies to other areas as well, but as you so helpfully pointed out: the theory doesn’t seem to hold up.
so either A: the theory is wrong, and so the association between aggression and sexuality needs to be called into question also;
or B: the theory isn’t wrong after all.
you are now claiming that the theory is wrong, but at the same time, the theory is totally correct! (when it’s convenient to you, that is)
so which is it now? is the theory correct? then your source must be wrong irrelevant.
or is the theory wrong? then the claim of a link between sexuality and aggression is also without support, until you provide a source for that claim.
you can’t have it both ways, but you’re sure trying to.
you made the claim that the cathartic hypothesis is poorly supported by evidence, which you source supports, but is not relevant to the topic at hand.
your other claim is that sexual release follows the same patterns as aggression. that’s a pretty big claim! i’d like to see a source that supports that claim.
otherwise you’ve just provided a source that provides sound evidence, but is also entirely off-topic…
your source is exclusively about aggressive behavior…
it uses the term “arousal”, which is not referring to sexual arousal, but rather a state of heightened agitation.
provide an actual source in support of your claim, or stop spreading misinformation.
maybe read the dark profit saga then!
kinda terry prathett vibe with a more modern style, first one is called “Orconomics”
amazing trilogy, highly recommended!
the information age is easy: the silicon age!
not sure about the space age…maybe titanium age? that’s about the time we figured out how to machine titanium on large scales, and for highly specialized, extreme applications (talking about the SR-71 here, mostly). could also call it the alloy age, since a number of important alloys were discovered around that time
“debunking” requires a source… otherwise they just put forth a claim
yep. it’s completely ridiculous.
nProtect seems to be even worse than it sounds:
no idea if they patched any of that since, but accepting non-validated DLLs is some wild level of neglect…
thank you for posting!
I’ve been looking for something like this, and judging by the inclusions on this list I’ve already read, I’m guessing I’ll enjoy most of the others as well!
now I’ll be busy for the foreseeable future, which is nice :)
not necessarily, but it can be a good idea to have a distributed, tamper proof ledger of transactions.
that way anyone can provide proof for basically anything to do with the service: payment, drive, location, etc.
it might also have advantages from a security perspective for riders and drivers.
there are advantages, they’re not entirely necessary, but they may well be the best option for a distributed network (i.e.: no central server infrastructure, at least not beyond some simple software repository for downloads/updates)
+1 for everything: literally saves my sanity
Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.
you completely missed the point here:
the issue that those aren’t around NOW, the issue is that they WILL inevitably disappear eventually and every shred of knowledge platformed there will be irretrievably lost to the void.
discord is a black hole for information:
it sucks information in and deletes it from existence.
that’s why it’s bad.
the time frame doesn’t really matter here.
wrsl damit die direkte übersetzung ins englische einfacher zu verstehen ist
Meaning what?
meaning the models training data is what lets you work around or improve on that bias. without the training data, that’s (borderline) impossible. so in order to tweak models and further development, you need to know what exactly went into the model, or you’ll spend a lot of wasted time guessing around.
I omitted requirements on freely sharing it as implied, but otherwise?
you disregarded half of what makes an AI model. the half that actually results in a working model. without the training data, you’d only have some code that does…something.
and that something is entirely dependent on the training data!
so it’s essential, not optional, for any kind of “open source” AI, because without it you’re working with a black box. which is by definition NOT open source.
all models carry bias (see recent gemini headlines for an extreme example), and what exactly those are can range from important to extremely important, depending on the use case!
it’s also important if you want to iterate on a model: if you use the same data set and train the model slightly differently, you could end up with entirely different models!
these are just 2 examples, there’s many more.
also, you are thinking of LLMs, which is just one kind of model. this legislation applies to all AI models, not just LLMs!
(and your definition of open source is…unique.)
so you’re basically saying it talked itself squarely into uncanny valley?
i honestly didn’t consider that would be an issue for LLMs, but in hindsight…yeah, that’s gonna be a problem…
oh, damn, you’re right!
i got that mixed up; i thought ranked choice also includes proportional representation, because it frees up your secondary vote to be for whoever you want it to be, without pressure to vote for a canditate that “has a chance of winning”, thus alleviating the issue of strategic voting…but that’s pretty much the only thing it does.
but the proportional representation is tied to the way mandates/seats are distributed, which isn’t tied to the how the vote works.
so if the senate still had the same number of seats per state, it wouldn’t fix representation, because the weight of the votes still wouldn’t be equal…
yeah, sorry for the confusion…long day…but thanks for the polite correction!
the DLC are pricey, but they’re also proper, old school expansions adding lots of content that actually enhances the game.
it’s perfectly playable without the DLC, and there’s a LOT of DLC-sized mods on the workshop!
kind of a fundamental problem with modern DLC: they generally don’t get cheaper over time (remember when that was an actual thing? not just sales, but actually lower prices for older games?).
if you keep up with the releases it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!
exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month… honestly kinda worth it, if you know you’re just gonna play for a while and then move on…still wish stuff would just get cheaper at some point again…
