  • Tax filling software companies left the chat.

  • As an example of that, try asking a LLM questions about precise details about the lore of a fictional universe you know well, and you know that what you're asking about hasn't ever been detailed.

    Not Tolkien because this has been too much discussed on the internet. Pick a universe much more niche.

    It will completely invent stuff that kinda makes sense. Because it's predicting the next words that seem likely in the context.

    A human would be much less likely to do this because they'd just be able to think and tell you "huh... I don't think the authors ever thought about that".

  • This is interesting, but I felt the measures used aren't right. It's to be expected that a leader who's antagonising your country would be disliked, even when their ideology is similar to yours.

    To be able to compare well enough in the little time I have in my busy life, I had to go by a methodology that is not perfect but allows some comparison. It's the Political Compass.

    According to this site, during the 2025 federal elections, the Conservative party was 8,7 (economic scale and social scale respectively), while Trump was 9,9 during the last presidential elections. It means Trump is to the right of the Conservative party, but not by a lot.

    I have to go now but I'll try later to find the proportion of Albertan voterd who voted for the Conservative party.

    EDIT: 63,5% of Albertan voters voted for the CPC. It's still hard to compare that statistic to the proportion of Californian voters who voted for Trump, but my feeling is that California isn't far removed from Alberta, perhaps it is even left of Alberta.

  • It's surprising they've never moved to Linux, considering the urgency and the power of the chinese state to steer society.

  • Jews collectively decide to go to the same region, and in doing so give it a significant Jewish cultural character.

  • I accept that a Jew who wishes for a nation-state for Jews, based on civic nationalism, inclusive for people of different religions and ethnicities, and showing the due respect for the natives and their property and land rights, isn't far right.

    But for the most part, Israelis are far-right now.

  • Thanks.

  • Yea it was early in Heisenberg's criminal career, so he he was still soft and naive.

    Small spoilers

    They were keeping a gangster in the basement, tied to a pole, since quite a long time. Heisenberg didn't know what to do. The gangster became friendly and closer, at least it seemed. Then Heisenberg broke a plate next to the gangster. He said he'll come back with a new plate. He collected the pieces and went up. There he realized the gangster had taken a shard for himself. So he decided to kill him. Heisenberg strangled the gangster from behind, and as he did so, the gangster tried to reach Heisenberg with the shard, but was too far and managed to cut his leg.

  • The middle ground fallacy

  • Mind blown

  • Most French people are well aware of our existence. We generally treat each others as cousins and the people with who we have the most cultural affinity in the world.

  • What about the far right though?

  • I've read a shortened version - I found it lacking in comparison to a modern fantasy novel. I didn't really care about the characters, their motivations were strange, the build up to the war felt forced, it's unclear why seemingly every leader in the world cares enough about the brothers' conflict to send their forces and have them all die, and it wasn't clear how exactly the heroes were killing so many enemies so quickly (thousands in a matter of minutes I believe?).

    But then, making any sense might be irrelevent for the function of myth.

  • That's good, but it pales in comparison to the effect we could gain by reducing the amount of paper that gets printed, especially in business.

    Incredibly, a lot of time I spend is spent scanning shit that was produced using a computer, then printed, sent to me, only for me to then bring it back into a computer!

  • Perhaps the native thinks of their own childhood as the baseline, and feels like they would be unable to provide, while the immigrant came from comparable economic conditions they have now, or even worse, so they don't see issues with it.

    There's also the fact that the immigrant is often religious and believes he must have children.

  • the United States, once the world’s exemplary liberal democracy

    When?

  • Nos otros tambien, para ustedes!

  • They do this because the job seeker is already invested, and doesn't have the time to ponder well their choice, or speak about this with someone else.

    They must choose on the spot, and having already invested time. They'll often accept much lower than they would have otherwise.

    For the hirer, it pays off on the long term despite the time they also invest. It's thousands, even sometimes tens of thousands of dollars saved each year.

    I also don't apply to jobs that don't show the salary in the posting. But I used to when I was desperate.
