  • The AI American pipe dream will fail if for no other reason that the u.s. doesn't have, and can't add, sufficient power generation capacity. With that in mind, stuff like this, to me, illustrates that the people in charge are ideologues--theyre not working toward coherent material outcomes.

  • I too once had a glorious bike commute and now wfh. If you already have a bike, buy a stationary trainer stand. Then get a bike mountable phone holder and you can then multitask while you exercise, multiplying your time. I learn Chinese while riding and organize my life.

    Trainers are a few hundred USD, but the amortized cost is pennies per hour in the long run, way cheaper than a gym.

  • Just had authentic Chinese 包子 for the first time (and also practiced my 汉语)

  • Good for you! I tried speaking Chinese with the staff at a restaurant in chinatown and the sweet old Chinese lady laughed at me for being bad at it, but in an amused and friendly way. Gave me confidence that ppl will probably be gracious when I attempt to use language with them.

  • Anyone learning Chinese with Toddlers? I'm roughly at HSK2 myself I went looking for Chinese Ms Rachel and found Super Baby JoJo which seems like a decent start. Will probably pick up some board books too.

  • Trust in the US is eroding. Now the question isn’t if the dollar will lose supremacy: it’s when

  • Kind of surprising to see even the guardian starting to come to terms

  • US gov't is very afraid of BRICS and dedollarization, Trump insiders reveal. That's why he's attacking Brazil

  • You likely mean getting the federal reserve under control. The Treasury is already under executive control and is intended to be so.

  • Godspeed. I get nervous contemplating just a weekend of solo parenting. But it pretty much always ends up fun and special ❤️

  • Archiving the Internet Archive?

    Jump

  • Imo it's probably not a good idea for another single entity to hold a copy of IA's corpus. IA already operates on a shoestring but it still is expensive and labor intensive to operate, which requires an endowment or constant source of funding, both of which come with political entanglements. I just don't think one org can be indefinite custodians of something so valuable.

    A distributed technical solution may eventually be developed which enabled regular people to participate in storing and maintaining the corpus. I think IPFS was supposed to be this kind of solution but seems like the tech isn't capable or mature enough (Anna's archive abandoned IPFS for technical reasons and that's a far smaller corpus). BTW IA has engagement with the dweb community and are interested in finding distributed solutions for storage of IA's corpus.

  • Has anybody had a root canal?

    Jump

  • This is good advice. I had an implant post hole screwed into my jaw a few months ago. During the initial consultation I honestly explained I get anxious and asked about what kind of drugs I could get. The dentist was literally like "oh we usually prescribe what I like to call 'happy pills'" which turned out to be some kind of benzos. I also asked for nitrous. It was a total non-event, I don't remember it at all, and experienced no pain (that I can remember). Also the initial local anesthetic shot you get in the gums is about 50x worse mentally than physically. It hurts way less than when e.g., you bite down hard on a sideways tortilla chip fragment and it gets jammed up into your gums.

    So just be honest, ask for meds, and be proud that you're taking care of your health and your anxiety.

  • A+ meme, and also I'm in fact looking for sincere ideas/resources for how to be a parent trying to raise little comrades. Anybody got anything that comes to mind?
