Captain Obvious would like to chime in: (sorry 😅)

Every color that we see is created by different types of receptors being stimulated together. A linear combination of three of these types. Arguably there isn’t really a wavelength that only stimulates one type of receptor exclusively as their absorbtion areas overlap - so it isn’t even that precise to call one receptor the “green” receptor as it sees a continuum of wavelength (of which a lot are also detected by the (so-called) “red” receptor.

It’s a little egg-and-hen-problem with the naming here.a way out of it would be to only speak about spectra if it’s in the physical realm and color of its in the percetral realm.

I’ve been using the commandline for so long but was always too lazy to look up the rest of these commands after ctrl+a/e and ctrl+r THANK YOU!!!

post this commend again and again! There’s always lazy idiots like me who will be helped that way!

I can only imagine. I think there’s few cities that have undergone such a transformation as has paris in the last 10 years. It’s lovely to see. But all the anger that people have felt from that is probably almost exclulively projected onto her. She’s the lonely reason for alll the hardships that the carbrained old people in Paris have to endure. That’s what they feel everyday.

I think she should have a Car-only-day before the election where everyone who switched to a bike is driving by car for the day. The resulting chaos would be a nice reminder for what the city has gained in lofe quality during the last decade.

It’s easy to get accustomed to improved circumstances like more bike travel. But people seldomly forget if something has negatively affected them - especially if it was caused in some remote way by her policies.

Das ist ein wichtiger Punkt.

Der Vergleich mit Deutschland ist da schon echt krass. In Berlin hat mit zum großen Teil den Stimmen der Außenbezirke die CDU gewonnen und sofort angefangen Radweg-Projekte zu stoppen, bzw sogar zurückzubauen. Diese Radwege waren aber fast nur in den Innenbereichen, do wo die CDU keine Mehrheit hatte. Das ist unglaublich Rücksichtslos. Denn solche Radwege werden (bei uns) typischerweise nicht auf stadtebene geplant, sondern auf Bezirksebene. Das sind eher so pilotprojekte, die aufgrund von lokalen Initiativen entstehen. Die baut die CDU wieder ab mit der begründung, dass irgednwelche Außenbezirkler dafür gestimmt haben. Das isr absolut übergriffig.

In Paris werden solche Radwege zum Glück nicht bezirksweise von irgdnwelchen Initiativen geplant, sondern direkt zentral. Dadurch konnten die auch so einen Fortschritt machen. Ich bin recht regelmäßig in Paris und diese Transformation ist großartig zu sehen. Vor 10 Jahren hatte ich um meinen einsam Fahrradfahrenden Freund dort große Angst. Jeden tag durch das Getümmel aggressiver Autos zu fahren schien selbstmörderisch. Dann wurden stück für stück Autoparkplätze durch Leihräder-Parkplätze ersetzt, wichtige Straßen für Autos gesperrt. Sehr radikal und gegen riesiges Geschrei wütender Leute. Aber es hat gewirkt und inzwischen fährt die halbe Stadt Rad.

Don’t use brave.

And: I don’t know if Otto is really that great. It’s just a marketplace where people sell cheap stuff imported from china. I just ordered a mirror that I have to send back, because it’s not even (as in flat).

Klingt nach ner marktlücke. Produkte für Arschlöcher sozusagen. “Fleisch aus unmoralischer Aufzucht” - und dann isses Bio. Hedge-Fund-Ltd-Inc-Owned-Bier, aber dann isses die Hippy-Brauerei um die Ecke.

That happens when a brand is about one person. Musk made Tesla all about himSelf. In a way he was the product - you could buy his cool car. Be a part of the company with that cool weird funny CEO. He posts memes just like you!!! Loom at his funny flamethrower! How random! Hahaha! He would also lie about so many features that nobody could actually believe it was a lie (full self driving next year™, battery range etc). So they still went ahead and bought it - and had a lot of sunken cost associated to his cool image.

But oh no! It turns out the guy is actually an asshole, a racist, likes nazis, is an delusional and unpredictable drug addict, not that smart, born with money from aparthheit-enabled-exploitation - who could’ve known!?!?

now people don’t like him, so they stop buying his product.

What is the problem with a BSD-license? I’m not familiar with the different open source licensing models and their problems.

Sorry, are you saying other people should be allowed to “put down” someone whenever they decide it’s mercy? Are you applying your example about putting down pets directly to humans?

You know who had a big euthanasia program? The Nazis. They murdered people who were unworthy to live. They killed (among many groups of people) people born with disabilities and justified it as “mercy”.

I think you meam something else so please be careful what you are writing. It’s easily misunderstood.

There’s even the next iteration already happening: Cerebras is maling wafer-scale chipa with integrated SRAM. If you want to have the highest memory-bandwith to your cpu core it has to lay exactly next to it ON the chip.

Ultimately RAM and processor will probably be indistinguishable with the human eye.

How big are your hands???

We live in Idiocracy.

Thank you! Nicely put. The problem isn’t people like your aunt, its massive shareholder-controlled investemet machines that own thousands or even millions of homes. Your aunt probably knows eafh renter by name - there can exist a personal relationship. There’s two things limiting your aunt becoming a money-hungry antisocial ghoul:

1. raising the rent is a relatively large amount of work for relatively small of a reward. If she raises rent she has to write these 4-5 renters a letter explaining why she has to increase it. Those renters might disagree, have objections, ask for reasons and proofs (like the central heating bill or maintanance costs etc). If she raises the rent by lets say 2% it’s 2% of not that much money (with her single digit number if houses).
2. she is raising the rent on people she knows. She is taking money away from people she even may like - have a personal relationship with.

So increasing rent is a lot of hassle and her renters might like her less after that - which might be a factor.

Now lets think of the hugr real estate company. They have thousands of renters and maybe hundreds of employees. They have lawyers employed. If they raise rent by 2% they have to send thousands of letters. But these letters are sent by people whose job it is to do so. Tyey can calculate in advance that from their renters X% will just accept the nrew rent, Y% will require some manouvering, Z% might move out and so on. They can estimate the cost of raising rent pretty well based on experience and compare to the profits they make. And with thousands of apartmants 2% is a lot of profit. The employees have no relationship to the thousands of renters. Renters are just numbers anyway. Everything is much more efficient. Also: Shareholders. They demand profits and dont’t care how. They care even less aboht the renters. They demand more profit and will just say “make it happen”. If thr ceo doesn’t raise profits - with whatever means necessary - the shareholders will replace the ceo.

The soltion IMHO would be some progressive tax That makes it basically unprofitable to have more than 10 apartments. And to prevent legal entities owning other legal entities owning apartments in order to circumvent this. If there exists (and can reasonable exist) a personal relationship between landlord and renter everything is alright in my opinion. People usually are not animals to eaxh other if they know eaxh other personal.

“Meteor” by Dan Brown (could be a different name in the original language). It was the first time I read something that was bad. Up until then book were cool and fun and interesting. It was a puzzling experience.

Edit: it’s called “Deception Point” in the original.

I really would like to see some studies on that topic “does cognitive decline skew your position to the right”. If it does it’s usually slowly over many years. But fetterman had a huge decline suddenly and basically in love with genocide now. (I still believe he didn’t think like that before).

Would make sense in a way - stripping away all nuance from the world by means of deteriorating perception makes people only see good and bad or my team / their team.

AI in general is a shitty term. It’s mostly PR. The Term “Intelligence” is very fuzzy and difficult to define - especially for people who are not in the field of machine learning.
