wow, how lucky we are that the ultimate deciders on litigation are not a bunch of partisans hacks, right?

Phillip is Dick (surname)

Milei is a dick (asshole)

Wow, what are the chances! Our president is also a dick

also, if a game relies in a complex physics engine, the physics simulations has to be done with a stable interval and FPS, which means it had to be decoupled from the rendering (which was not stable and depends on what you are drawing)

considering the industrial activity collapsed in may, the recession is still going, the economy minister has no idea what is going on (yesterday he talked about people having to sell dollars to pay taxes (despite campaigning to dollarize the economy and eliminate taxation) (Spanish link), i would say that this is short term collapse, leading to long term collapse

“dominance”… You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means

The diet that we evolved to consume (fruits, lean meats and fibrous plants) was much less damaging to our teeth than the current high-sugar, high-fat, highly processed foods. And human lifespans was shorter, so less time for teeth to damage. So there wasn’t a strong evolutionary need to regenerate them (unlike an animal like sharks)

i agree with your general idea, but not with all the reasons. war, crappy economic conditions and inflation have all happened multiple times before (and much worse that the current situation), but I’ve never heard that there were large portion of people choosing not to have kids before (please, correct me if I am wrong)

i think that the current mental health crisis (which is caused by all those problems + the housing crisis, destruction of middle class, climate change concerns + social media) makes it different this time

When you move, you actually stay in the same coords (0,0,0) and the world is moved around, avoid bugs with lost precision at large values. Twinkling stars? Glitches in the rendering of far away objects

Or like the blockchain 5 years ago

Or like VR 10 years ago

Or like 3D 15 years ago

It is the hot new thing that you have to use for the VCs to fund your company and for investors to buy your stocks, regardless of the actual utility. AI does seem to have at least more possibilities of usage than those technologies, but it also have an incredibly higher possibility of misuse that is being completely ignored by these companies

Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of science?

Even if people were thinking “i want to just harm someone in a way that they can still make a full recovery”, modern medicine also tells us much more about ptsd and other mental health issues that can happen from violence. So even if the while premise of “let’s get violent, they can heal” was true, it would still lead to less violence

94% of the population of China lives in east of the heihe-tengchong line, which means that for 94% of the population the timezone is at most 1 hour off of the “true” time, which is pretty normal.

religious belief is a mental illness

religious belief is a coping mechanism. it helps people cope with uncertainty and the unknown, creating a community. It has been in decline because there is much less unknown now that before, although it will probably always exist; since we will never know what happens after death, there will always be some unknown

Organized religion like Catholicism is a instrument of power, and it has definitely enabled genocide

if you don’t trust microsoft, why would you use windows at all?

the famous french motto of “the law applies differently to different people”, right?
