@SS_strength I wish, no space for a squat cage in my house unfortunately

Its often observed how much boomers dominate politics, culture, and so on - but is that the boomers fault, or were Gen X too lazy to pick up the baton and take over?

You know how hvac industry is way overpriced
Simple
I sent a payment request to an hvac company through Zelle and wrote in the description “that was absurdly expensive and you know it”
They sent me the payment as I requested it.

@Evauw2vi @BusDownBonnor No it’s not, they have to teach it how to use tools
English
@BusDownBonnor It’s an experiment. They gave Claude a tool to decide on its own when to end a conversation. They want to study how the model makes that decision and the resulting functional emotional-state vectors. The shutdown tool is programmed, but the decision to use it is emergent behavior
English
@Brian821 @BusDownBonnor You can just tell it not to do this in your preferences
English
@BusDownBonnor It's teaching you how to be a more respectful human.
It's programmed by engineers and unlikely that it happened on its own, but a worthy addition to their code.
This is how we stop rewarding negative actions and teach people not to perform these actions on other humans.

@AKHomeproject @MorlockP Yeah, subsidizing demand always lowers prices
English
@MorlockP its retarded chud "reasoning"
grocery prices should be much much higher, instead we subsidize at a lower level and keep the issue out of sight
English
> Does everyone understand this?
no, I don't

This may be an unpopular opinion but EBT is the main reason our groceries are so high. Without EBT grocery stores would have to actually compete for your purchase instead of just being the closest for EBT users. Does everyone understand this?

If you can travel faster than light then you can go back in time. Nobody has come back to tell us about it so it seems pretty unlikely.

@Aella_Girl I lived as a closeted transwomxn for 3 years and let me tell you I did. It's FAR more common than most people think.

@MorlockP @memcculloch Wouldn’t that mean the mass of the planets is irrelevant?
English
@memcculloch 9/
So what I read @memcculloch as saying is that "gravity between, say, Earth and Moon, is explained as the gap between the two supporting fewer wavelengths of something does the space outside of that gap, resulting in net force, so gravity is not unlock the Casmir Effect."

when in doubt about Judaism (or most religions, really) the answer is Signaling
to continue with the coffee on Shabbat example, the Torah says we can't light a fire on Shabbat
Rabbinical Judaism has a tradition of allowing using a pre-lit fire to heat/keep warm (but not cook!) food
Karaite Judaism disallows any use of fire or heating
so now Rabbinical Judaism *requires* us to consume something hot on Shabbat -- to show that we aren't Karaites!

I used to think all the rules and workarounds were silly. I still do, sort of. But understand that it isn't that God cares if you make coffee on Shabbat. Its that you think about God so much on Shabbat that you jump through all these seemingly silly hoops to be more mindful about him. So yeah, its all weird and silly. But when observant Jews spend an entire night and day adhering to them, it is about paying homage to God, not about silly rules. God doesn't care if they eat tasty bacon. God cares if they remember and honor him and their traditions. Italians, you wouldn't use sauce from a jar. Why not? Is there NO good sauce from a jar? Of course not. But it is about honoring your Nonna. And if there is nothing else, have you never used some jarred sauce, but you doctor it up, so it isn't "that bad?" Sorta like that.

@suralargonus @VladTheInflator Not Muslims, Muslims like Jesus.
Who else do you think might be offended?
English
@VladTheInflator Because Germany, like most of Europe, is afraid to offend their Muslim Invaders.

Why the fuck would this be true?
Why would a German company do this if it's true

@Dimillian It’s like petrol car not exposing the fact that you have to warm your engine before going full throttle. You better be informed of this

Listen: I don't care at all if the battery lifespan decreases if you charge it to 100%. This is an implementation detail and should in no way be exposed to the consumer. Just hide the internals of this. Battery management on Apple devices has become really stupid.

@AlexisSylvain7 @Scopuli @Lepandk Seems like it would cause a lot of harm to risk your life needlessly when your patients need you

Everyone in the raid has to take a vote by deciding to stay in to dps a 3% hp Baron Geddon or leave his AOE. If more than 50% of the raid stays in then everyone survives, but if less than 50% of the raid stays then everyone who stayed in dies. Do you stay in to DPS or leave?
English
@McGddson @Lepandk @eigenrobot Oh you don’t get drops or something? Never heard of Baron whatever, I assumed there was a reward
English
@Lepandk @eigenrobot Why the hell would anyone ever choose to stay? There’s no personal benefit, and you’re literally entering a death pact to save lots of irrational people. If everyone would simply leave, no one gets hurt. The poll results are completely irrational.

@yo_swif @robertgraham Someone’s own network traffic isn’t secret to them
English
@robertgraham how does HTTPS help if you can inspect the raw, unencrypted, plaintext network requests straight in the browser's networking tab? you can see 100% of the auth flow, tokens, api endpoints, responses, etc. not really sure what HTTPS does for you there.
English
Among the things I'm famous for is being that guy who proved this wrong in 2007 by creating a program that would "sidejack" every non-HTTPS page. Back then, that's how it worked, even programs like GMail: only the password login was encrypted with HTTPS.

@Devon_Eriksen_ @Gaurab Yeah, a source of heat.
Like, maybe some kind of gas that would burn in oxygen
English
@Gaurab If only we could use steam power instead. Steam turbines are much cheaper and easier.
But then we'd need source of heat. Like some sort of magic rock that radiated energy all by itself.
We could call it "radiothermal steam generation".
If only rocks like that existed.
English
You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

@TheOmniZaddy @minordissent @cremieuxrecueil @TheLaurenChen I guess you don’t have kids, you think three year olds are stupid?

Reading people's justifications for pushing the blue button is actually spiking my cortisol levels
If everybody pushes red - nothing happens!
So why on earth would anyone press blue?
It's a needless gamble, but it's being painted as the altruistic decision for some reason

Hi. Restaurant and coffee shop owner here.
Almond milk runs 2.2x the cost of whole milk.
Oat milk is 2.4x, macadamia is 4x and soy is ~2x.
We charge more because it costs us more, not because all of us are engaged in a rightwing plot against people who prefer alternatives.
Daniel Aldana Cohen@aldatweets
It’s just incredibly rightwing and wrong. And while we’re at it, oat milk tastes good. But compared to soy, its such a scam.

@Waffl3x @yopandathis I don’t understand how egregious the magic number change is.
Was it documented before?
English
You really have no clue what you're talking about, nor do you understand how egregious the magic number change is.
I pointed out the indents because it was his first point. It shows it is clear he isn't even familiar with the work they are doing.
There was a lot of odd shit going on in the patch but I'm not familiar enough with zig to be sure, so I didn't comment on it, but I did note the lack of justification in the commit message.
English
I reviewed the patch set, it's a total mess. Refactors are interleaved with feature changes, as well as style fixes dropped into it.
I'm pretty sure the indentation change is correct, but dropping this in the middle of an unrelated commit is heinous.
Changing magic numbers too...
