The default setting in a horse’s mind is to not allow anything on its back. They will bite and kick you if you try. However, there is a clever way to change that setting, as ancient humans had discovered.

Horses are different from many other animals, such as zebras. Horses are clearly more malleable. That default setting can be changed if you’re skilled and patient enough. With zebras though, the setting to bite and kick is pretty much hard coded.

Some animals, such as camels and llamas can also be tamed and even ridden, but they will always know their position in the tier list of life i.e. way above all humans. They will tolerate humans up to a certain point, but once their patience runs out, the unfortunate human in their immediate vicinity will feel it in their skin. These animals are a bit like cats, but 10x more dangerous.

Turns out, there are people who practice that sort of extreme fasting. BTW going back to normal eating doesn’t happen in a day.

Lawful Evil answer…

Congrats, you’ve just leveled up your antistalking skill.

Anyway, I would avoid scary people like that.

I think gender stereotypes don’t serve us well. They set unrealistic expectations, which results in anxiety and sadness if you don’t meet them.

Men and women have so much in common, even though specific qualities are commonly attributed to one gender. For example, being gentle or rugged are human traits, and they aren’t exclusive to just one gender. Sure, men tend to be more rugged, but men also have a gentle side. Being gentle isn’t feminine IMO. It’s very human to be sensitive or emotional at times.

Stereotypes may give you an idea of general tendencies of behaviour, but they aren’t exclusive. Even though most women usually aren’t rugged or tough, it doesn’t mean women can’t have those qualities. They absolutely do. Culture is making people hide the human traits that don’t fit a specific stereotype.

Well, that’s the public-facing side of the story. Lending GPUs to AI startups seems like a pretty risky strategy. If NVIDIA is lending out a lot of hardware, while AMD isn’t, that puts these companies in very different positions.

Cancer of the modern world…

Maybe AMD is betting on NVIDIA suffering more from the oncoming crash. If that happens, AMD could increase their market share.

That’s a very interesting deep dive. Didn’t mind this wall of text at all.

Is AMD also involved in the same shenanigans? Sounds like the AI bubble pop could also mess up the GPU market.

Sure, no problem

Here’s my passport too, in case anyone needs it.

If it’s running Linux, you can get away with just 2 GB.

I identify as a human. Even if there might be some evidence implying I could be a sentient brain scan simulation running on an android, I’m not ready to accept any of that just yet.

Anyway, bots are being banned all the time. Entire instances get defederated, because they spawn so many bots and the admins aren’t doing anything about it.

Other people have already given sensible suggestions, but I’ll mention one group of chemicals that can damage your phone: bases.

If your phone has aluminium parts, highly concentrated bases will begin to gradually dissolve them. Hopefully nobody was thinking of using dishwasher tablets to make a soap solution for your phone. That’s a bad idea, since the resulting solution has a very high pH-value (base). What about the powder used for washing clothes? Same thing. Even regular hand soap is basic, but it’s nowhere near that extreme.

Exposure time also matters. If you just wipe the phone with a damp cloth, the time will be very short. If you really want to damage the aluminium parts with hand soap, it’s going to take an absurdly long time to do anything. However, those dishwasher tablets are a different beast.

Temperature matters too. These kinds of reactions happen faster if you heat up the solution.

If you haven’t needed them for such a long time, they probably weren’t all that important anyway.

Same goes for all the physical items in my home. If I haven’t needed something in a long time, there’s a good chance I never will. This is how I reduce digital and physical clutter in my life.

When I asked this question, I found out about raindrop.io. BTW, in that discussion you’ll find all the people with 500 tabs open. In this new one, you’ll also find lots of people who just close tabs regularly.

Anyway, randrop is a service where you can dump links and go through them when you feel like it. The idea is, that if you know you won’t be checking a specific tab today, you can just save it in raindrop and cost the tab. I don’t like to have lots of tabs open anyway, but there are some sites I like to save for later. Stuff like vacation planning can produce twenty tabs just like that, and I’ll just throw them all into raindrop.

Most of them are sorted into logical categories, and I’ll go through them when I remember to. For example, vacation planning will be useful later. When that time comes, I’ll start opening all those links I’ve accumulated over the months.

Same goes for various tech articles too. You can taste the GPT while reading them.

Who knows how many hallucinations are now spread publicly and fed to the next generation of LLMs as facts. I have a feeling that factual accuracy of the output is only going to go down as more and more of the training data contains serious mistakes.

Lemvotes is a pathway to many discoveries some consider to be depressing.

Living without American software would be fine IMO. American silicon is much harder to replace though.
