  • Rybbit - Open source Google Analytics replacement

    Jump

  • Wow holy crap, great work - the world badly needs this. Im assuming the mechanism is the same, you inject a js script into your site. I'm also very interested in pure server side solutions for analytics, but they can't hit all the features you did in a generic way afaik

  • Is Android really the next big desktop operating system?

    Jump

  • Might as well just run Linux at that point and if you want android apps, waydroid. The value prop of Chromebooks was supposed to be that you can just factory reset it at any point and log back in

  • What do you think is the best course of action to address cult movements, either as a whole or on an individual level?

    Jump

  • Yeah sure you can do that but people won't listen. What I mean by thought police is actually doing policing, like "no you can't say that or we will arrest you" which goes against the idea of freedom of speech. It's reminiscent of when ussr was jailing karate teachers

  • Yeah you can't do a thought police

  • Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right? I'm familiar with the documentary and actually have friends who continue to be followers of Osho's teachings. It's not all bad, there was a lot of very good outcomes for some people's health and wellness there too, the documentary frames it as a situation where the second in command basically drugged him and became an egomaniac. Shit happens. When evaluating cults, which are basically just small religions, the best criteria is about how much they help their constituents and community vs how much do they demand from them. It's worth noting that many of the cults of America's past were more Christian branded and became gigantic, with some mix of outcomes. But the alternative of not allowing people to express the freedoms of religion and speech would be much worse in my opinion

    Jump

  • We don't, that's what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America

  • Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation

    Jump

  • The mind while lucid dreaming is creating a whole environment, which for some people has incredible level of detail. Your "consciousness" is experiencing a whole video game or whatever, which must be simulated to be percieved. Imagine you had some kind of really advanced VR setup and body suit that could touch your senses very richly - something must be feeding that perception, a simulation

  • Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation

    Jump

  • People who are lucid dreaming simulate a full reality that's nearly indistinguishable from the one they find themselves in during waking time. If your brain can't tell the difference during this time, how can you be sure you're not dreaming right now reading this?

    The scope of what a simulation is has always been limited by the technology we know. It is only a failing of imagination and knowledge to assume that algorithmic computation is the only valid form of simulation in the future, these have existed for barely 100 years, but even Plato's cave was talking about the larger philosophical problem

  • Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation

    Jump

  • This is such a boring take, I wonder how anyone gets funding or publication making a statement as useless as "see godels incompleteness theorem that proves that there's more truth than what mathematics can prove, therefore reality is not a simulation". Yes, we know, you don't need a PhD to know the major theorem that took down the entire school of logical positivism. The fundamental philosophical error here is assuming that all forms of simulation are computational or mathematical. Counterexample: your dreams are a form of simulation (probably). So I can literally disprove this take in my sleep

  • Why can't we (states) ignore clock changes without the federal government? The federal government doesn't seem to care about standing laws.

  • Hawaii already doesn't do DST ... Since 1967

  • Bosses really want AI to work, because they really, really want to fire you.

    Jump

  • I think people need to chill the fuck out with this narrative. When the industrial revolution came, I'm sure everyone said "now the rich factory workers don't need craftsmen anymore!!". The world was fine, people still have jobs today. The jobs change. The market for software, for example, is nearly unlimited - you COULD fire some staff and do the same amount of stuff that you were doing, or you could DO MORE and expand the business

    Jump

  • Really, that's still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D

  • Which stage are you at?

    Jump

  • There is SO MUCH shame in that, the pitiful noob wont even learn to RTFM, and then I'll have no way to feel superior to them as I dip my beard into my off brand morning cereal #frostedfakes

  • He stopped that nonsense

  • What a tragedy of modern civilization. He wasn't hurting anyone, he was just enjoying his Sunday, exercising his personal expression as an artist: walking around naked high on drugs in traffic. How dare the cops try to interfere with this, this is democracy manifest GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS SIR
