@FantasyWanderer @fishrungood @timsoret Your use of "only" tells me you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand the marginal effect of things. People already help in the situations you mentioned. They'd help more if it was easier to help.

@Hotmedal @fishrungood @timsoret Oh, so you only help your fellow man when its simple?

Assuming no possible coordination: If everybody was rational, we would all individually pick red & be safe without needing coordination, trusting that the sum of individual interests would lead to the most optimized outcome. Except that many humans are irrational & dogmatic, and driven by idealistic / empathetic concerns, would pick blue, even if that requires coordination which is not guaranteed & which puts them as risk. Knowing this, even if you’re initially inclined to vote red, the actual moral choice, to avoid the death of those willingly putting their lives at risk, is to vote blue to maximize the chances of saving everybody. In short, if you know that others are not perfectly rational agents, to save them you have to go along with their irrationality, which is counter intuitive.

@QiaochuYuan red team is playing the game presented to them, blue team is playing the meta game against the game

i completely missed this discourse the first time so lemme try. i pressed blue without thinking about it, my gut reaction was "blue is prosocial and red is antisocial," on reflection this still seems right to me galaxy-brain game theory arguments in favor of red are completely missing the point. as others have pointed out, empirically blue wins, and this is a test of theory of mind more than anything else. the actual outcome is determined by what everyone else who is not you actually does, not by what game theory says they should do a certain kind of nerd thinks game theory is just the "correct" framework for reasoning about this type of situation and that is absolutely not true either and can be questioned on intellectual grounds and not just vibes. among other things game theory assumes every participant is perfectly selfish and perfectly """rational""" (and that this is common knowledge among the participants). this is just totally false as a description of the actual world! multiple parents pointed out that parents have to remember that this test includes their children. and obviously the vast majority of people have never even heard of game theory but they do know what selfishness and selflessness are funnily enough there's LW stuff around exotic decision theories that's actually relevant here. one of them i would describe roughly as "when you make a decision you are choosing to live in a world where people like you make decisions like that" and i'd rather choose to live in a world where people like me are prosocial "blue is prosocial and red is antisocial" is also a self-fulfilling prophecy, the more people who believe it the more true it becomes. so believing it is partly a bet on how much other people believe it, partly an act of hyperstition to make it true. few

@FantasyWanderer @fishrungood @timsoret Because none of those examples are as simple as pressing a button. You really thought you did something huh?

@fishrungood @timsoret All i know is, when i see a burning building there isnt a line of people going in to save people. When a shooting hapoens most people run, almost no one stops to help at a car crash. Fire fighters & paramedics are understaffed. Why should i believe that theyll all step up now?

@grahamscheper what about bellend

There’s a cool feature in Latin, the gerundive, which is a verbal adjective implying that something should/must happen. A few of them survive into English words: If someone should be revered, they are “reverend”. If something must be cut away, it is a “dividend”. My favorite: if a story is so good that it simply must be read by everyone, it is “legend”! Latin reverendus/a, dividendum, and legenda. Pretty cool that what is sometimes a difficult concept for Latin learners is actually present in English, albeit rarely. Do let me know if there are any good ones I’ve missed.

@mashaallriaz To reactivate it without the sim?

@fchollet Primary cause is that we have actual quantum computers now. Secondary cause is of course speculation markets.

So why exactly is there a huge quantum computing bubble at this point in time? Is it just that the excess froth from the AI bubble needed somewhere to go, and "quantum computing" has a cool ring to it?

It’s true what they say: this country really is 5 corporations in a trench coat

#Karachi is flooded. No doubt. This is #Lyari River just before the heavy rain. See the solid waste accumulated under the bridge near Lyari Expressway intersection. And yes, this solid waste was pushed into the ocean by the rainwater after rain.

@armujahid @carlasimulator Docker seems like the best way to go. Thanks.

> I want to clean my c++ libraries without destroying everything else Are you referring to gcc or other build tools? My guess is that there might be some version incompatibility introduced in the latest versions of these tools, although this is quite rare since they are generally stable. If other users are experiencing similar issues, the problem likely lies in their makefile or CMake configuration, which probably needs fixing. It's a nightmare to keep track of and reset, especially because their build setup seems to make changes at a global level. The best approach is to use an isolated environment such as a virtual machine, a container, or even Qubes OS (qubes-os.org/intro/) to create a disposable qube for building. You can discard the qube if something goes wrong. However, I'm not sure if this would be compatible with CARLA, as I haven't used CARLA myself.

Having issues with building @carlasimulator on Linux. What's the source of this problem? #cmake #compiler #linux #gcc #clang github.com/carla-simulato…

@armujahid @carlasimulator Yeah. Do you have any recommendations for dealing with these kinds of problems as a user though? I want to clean my c++ libraries without destroying everything elss

@Hotmedal @carlasimulator With such a complicated build process, they should atleast support containerized build process that is guaranteed to work everywhere. I can see this in their roadmap. github.com/orgs/carla-sim…

@kremmerpeter @chess24com There's usually a whisper

@chess24com actually I dont understand how they understand that the draw is offered. I saw this many times, they just suddenly shake hands understanding what's going on.

@djcows @_snorp Saving as PNG instead of bitmap is compression

@_snorp there's no compression, i'm just storing the decimal equivalent of each ascii in each color value of each r,g,b value of pixels, the compression ratio is like 1.3 or sth

Startup idea: store data inside image pixels bible.txt (4.3mb) -> bible.txt (3.2mb)

@MediaOffline1 @jamesklassic @BranArtHouse @inceptstellar this the kind of mf that asks chatgpt what the book is about and then claims to have read it

@jamesklassic @BranArtHouse @inceptstellar I have now seen multiple frames showing "how much is lost", but I have not seen a single one yet, where something meaningful is in the "lost" regions. I would be happy to be proven wrong, and shown that there are scenes where something important is lost.

every time i see this it's like I've been shot

@Orochimp12 @emabutironicaly @ChessProblem Iran is not FIDE. Not sure if your whataboutery came with a point

@emabutironicaly @ChessProblem In Iran women players are forced to wear hijab. So how is that okk? If a Hindu, Christian or atheist woman doesn't want to wear headscarf what would be the course of action for the arbiter. In 2018 Soumya Swaminathan had to withdraw from a tournament in Iran due to this.

if yakubboev is discriminating against the women he plays then it’s a clear violation of the ethics code and he should be kicked out
