this game is great, i installed it just now. I heard the game is bad, but even still, i assumed the ui problems must have been from running the game through proton. but no, it’s literally just that bad

also, on wikipedia there’s a picture of the truck climbing a steep mountain. but what it doesn’t show is that the truck actually goes much faster up steep mountains than over flat land because the physics system is terrible and the car doesn’t slow down at all horizontally when it starts moving vertically.

It says in the article

15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

The title is just misinfo I guess

Well, I guess he has tried to make his views fairly plain on his blog. it’s just a bit hard to find unless you’re looking for it

i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people, if you just look up the names of the projects and aren’t specifically looking for this information there’s no way you’ll find anything about it

even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

I was thinking about this a bit and I think this specific sort of thing could be a positive. The law needs to apply to everyone, when you make a stupid law you shouldn’t be able to say “actually this doesn’t apply to our political allies or white people”. The federal government should have to experience the consequences of their choices. If we get local governments etc to take the new policy literally and be deporting people from Britain and Isreal and whatever allies we still have that we actually care about, then something’s going to have to change - we’ll either have to say the quiet part out loud, that these laws actually only apply people we’re racist against, or we’ll have to stop randomly deporting people without warning. Or that’s my random thought at least.

Not a petition exactly but I found https://fightchatcontrol.eu/

There might be others, I didn’t look that long and I’m not in the EU so idk

The linked petition says:

The European Parliament MPs must vote AGAINST Chat Control legislation during EPlenary vote in June-August 2021.

It’s not even up to date. And it only has 1.8k signatures.

Look at other corrupt governments and you can see some even more startlingly disfunctional infrastructure.

The limit (with infinite districts made of infinite people) is theoretically 1/4 support, in a 2 party system, with a choice made from separately decided districts. If you add another level of districts, it could be 1/8, another would be 1/16, and so on.

In practice you can’t make a district with actually 100% support of the opposing party, and you need to leave a little room for error in the districts you plan to win. Also there aren’t an infinite number of districts lol

I would say to first try the speed on ethernet. If that’s slow, then it’s the service or the modem and not the router. I think even the worst router you can find would support at least 250 Mbps on Ethernet.

To see if it’s the router’s fault, you could try some high bandwidth local network transfer, with sftp or something. If that’s slow, if you have the money you can just buy one of those fancy gaming routers or some other highly reviewed one.

If there’s a few walls or floors in between you and the router that could be the problem and a fancier higher power router will help with that. Another thing that could help is installing another access point near where you’re device is, although that’s obviously a lot of effort.

If even ethernet is slow and they refuse to help you then if you’re in the US or Canada you can try submitting a complaint on the Better Business Bureau website. This actually helped us once or twice when dealing with some cellular problems. You wouldn’t think it would do anything but I guess sometimes it gets them to pay at least a little bit of attention to the problem.

I have heard about how bad and monopolistic rural Internet can be, good luck

I can get like 300 Mbps on a speed test tho

That’s probably a problem with your router or receiving hardware btw unless you’ve confirmed otherwise

Especially if you’re in an area with a lot of other wifi signals or radio frequency interference

If it’s an ISP provided router you could probably ask for them to look at it

The best way to learn a language is through immersion. Honestly I feel like it would be a lot of fun to learn a language in Europe since the majority of people also speak English well if you really need to fall back to that.

Idk about the wifi thing, my phone should technically be able to do >500 Mbps to my computer yet it still transfers files at like 10 over wifi or usb

500 would be more than good enough but 10 is not

(It’s a OnePlus 12, age is not the issue)

I would also dislike the loss but I don’t think data speed is really the issue. Mostly that I couldn’t connect peripherals like my flash drive or sd card anymore

There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.

George Floyd protests had more than that (closer to 8%) and they didn’t really change anything.

Computers are still advancing roughly exponentially, as they have been for the last 40 years (Moore’s law). AI is being carried with that and still making many occasional gains on top of that. The thing with exponential growth is that it doesn’t necessarily need to feel fast. It’s always growing at the same rate percentage wise, definitionally.

I think the general idea is that the ar/vr stuff would be non invasive

The startup here is making stuff for medical conditions, not games.

Medicine in the US is very expensive. There is a lot of money in helping with neurological conditions or paralysis.

Can an LLM be sad, happy or aware of itself and the world? No, not by a long shot.

Can you really prove any of that though?
