I feel like you could game this… my superpower would be making a hit album in a day. I’ll just tell them it took several weeks. Replace album with day trading, writing a comedy set, movie, engineering designs, theoretical physics…

What if you found out that free will is an inherently flawed concept and therefore impossible to conclusively obtain

Chan because it would be rude not to tho
Interesting comparison!
I think the way we talk about gender and sex are very ambiguous because the term gender is overloaded to the tits.
I think it’s more accurate to think of gender identity and gender roles as completely separate concepts that shouldn’t even share terminology.
Gender identity is like the sex of your brain, which can either be male or female or ambiguous / neither. Sexual dimorphism of the human brain has been observed and it’s been observed that trans people’s brains match their understanding of their own gender identity more closely than what they were assigned at birth. So with that knowledge we can assume that someone can be “male brained” or “female brained” in as far as gender identity (or gender “map”)
Then you have “sex” which when used in the traditional sense is your external sex (male, female, ambiguous / neither).
Then you have gender expression / roles, which to me is where the weasel words start to slip in. Gender expression is how one virtue signals to the rest of their tribe they are their brain (and maybe body) sex. This is somewhat personal and somewhat social, because we ultimately decide how we want to behave in the world so the world sees us for who we believe ourselves to be.
Gender roles are the rules society creates that you’re supposed to follow so everyone is playing with the same deck when it comes to understanding what you are supposed to virtue signal and what you are supposed to presume when receiving that signal.
Gender roles are 100% fake in that they’re arbitrary and if they provide no net gain we can eliminate them. But gender is 100% real in that many people do experience strongly being their gender identity. If gender was totally fake trans people wouldn’t exist. So you have to be precise about in what ways you mean something like “gender is fake just abolish gender roles and everyone’s happy” because it’s definitely used to invalidate trans people and that’s not very cash money.
Man the onion has always had some bad boomery takes. They get some good jabs in time to time but they are enlightened centrist epitomized.

Right… they claim hosting it is a violation of their TOS, but I’m not one of their customers. How can I violate their TOS if I don’t even use their product.

Unless you want to f around just install Ubuntu and be done with it
Vector embeddings with ChromaDB. Basically you pre compute the word embeddings of every row / table / whatever granularity you want and then stick that into a vector DB. Then you do an embedding computation of your query and compare similarity. You can either return the table / row / whatever you want that’s most similar (“semantic search”) or you use that as context for an LLM (“RAG”)
Cars… old cars were indestructible death traps. Crumple zones kill the car and save the human
The world standing by and watching a genocide unfold is unconscionable. Children cannot be militants nor terrorists. Unless the kid is literally pointing a gun at your face there is never a justifiable claim of self defense
I love unique dialog, makes games feel so immersive :)
Thanks for your insights. I meant underrated in terms of exposure. As you indeed pointed out, it’s highly praised by those who have played it. And it’s not a hidden gem by any means it just feels less zeitgeisty than BG is. I haven’t actually seen the numbers so that could just be anecdotal.
With your incidental review, I am excited to play it! Probably after Starfield though :)
I haven’t played it yet but would like to so no spoilers please, but from what little I’ve seen it just looks like reskinned and slightly upgraded D:OS2.
DOS2 is one of my favorite games of all time and i am somewhat suspicious that people think Baldur’s gate is some novel masterpiece when really it’s that Divinity is super under rated and relatively unknown by comparison. Can anyone who has played both games weigh in on this?
And if it is the case that gameplay is very similar, is it just the setting / writing that is much better in BG that makes it stand apart or was it just coincidence / hype that made this game succeed harder?
Did they test the sea floor? Some of it sinks. The concern isn’t radioactive seawater, it’s seabed accumulation working its way into the food chain
Honestly this is pretty much it. Sometimes you have to be pretty aggressive to get companies to do the thing you need; they will take advantage of the social friction required to keep you in predatory arrangements. They literally design it to be frustrating so you’ll give up. Like you, I try to make it clear to the person I’m speaking with I have no problem with them just the business. But if the corporations require me to get mad to do the right thing I will get mad.
