It’s kinda messed up reasoning, but it does check out with national obesity statistics:

• Non-Hispanic Black: 49.6%
• Hispanic: 45.6%
• Non-Hispanic White: 41.4%

Even then there’s so much overlap in human dimorphism that it’s not an exact science, there’s still like a 5-10% error rate in sexing perfectly preserved pelvic bones. Accurate enough for anthropology, but that’s a big error rate to apply to individuals.

I upvoted this comment multiple times while reading.

I think the idea is that the diseases are likely to become deadlier whether we do research or not, but by experimenting we are able to get ahead of it.

‘Car’ should have been painted over with white instead of black. The other text already has a white outline. This is hard to read.

We’d still have Luigi, he’d just be doing more QA work for Civ or going surfing instead of being dragged around for this show trial.

I feel like people have known this since like the 1800s. But dividing people over race and gender doesn’t threaten the rich in the way wealth distribution does, so huge amounts of money and influence are poured into preventing society from advancing by exacerbating poverty and race/gender conflicts.

The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.

Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.

The attack point has to be something that both sides of the political spectrum finds repulsive. If only right wingers have a problem it makes the lefties look like hypocrites, and if it’s something only people on the left care about it’s ineffective.

Eyeliner and weak chins/beards aren’t things people on the left tend to take issue with, while white nationalism and misogyny aren’t things people on the right take issue with.

The military thing could work, but it’s not punchy enough, it’s too specific and not very funny. The couch fucker jokes are easy laughs.

I think part of it is about making him into a joke to prevent him from gaining the cult following necessary to be another trump. I don’t think trump supporters would care about the valid criticisms, but the idea he has sex with couches is provocative and humorous, and seems to have become one of the only things a lot of people know about him.

Our swearing system in modern English revolves around sex, violence and infidelity, but our society is also kinda into those things. Societies are complicated.

Edit: also sometimes people still say shit about bottoms when they curse.

Since studying machine learning I’ve become a lot less opposed to AI as a concept and specifically opposed to corporate/cloud LLMs.

Like a simple on-device model that helps turn speech to text isn’t something to be opposed, it’s great for privacy and accessibility. Same for the models used by hospitals for assistive analysis of medical imaging, or to remove background noise from voice calls.

People don’t seem to think of that as ‘AI’ anymore though, it’s like these big corporations have colonized the term for their buggy wasteful products. Maybe we need new terminology.

I use my GPU mostly for gaming and computer science. I will say that ROCm from AMD is seriously giving Cuda a run for its money, and it’s fully open source. AMD cards also tend to be better per dollar.

Same, I’ve been using Debian only for the last 15 or so years. I love the stability, and the old software isn’t hard to work around when newer versions are needed.

I hate the lack of support from Nvidia. I prefer AMD cards though, and they give zero trouble.

Thank you for that, seriously.

Your external pressure helps encourage more people to rise up. I’ve seen a ton of Canadian flags at the 50501 protests. We stand in solidarity against this madness.

The glass is also weirdly large considering it looks like it should be at roughly the same distance as the people.

Well it relied on trump being in power to take effect. Having a useful idiot in the executive opens a lot of doors. I don’t see how the Republicans could seize power without him, Vance wasn’t ever going to win on his own.

Yes and yes. It’s pretty good imo, my favorite milkshake flavor. They were super popular in the 1920s.
