Like naming a boy "Maximus Efficiency Watts" for an easy EE career path. I would love the name Max Watts.

Like do the average Chinese people not know the party leadership? (genuine question and curiosity-thus asking .ml)

At least they do not know the exact reason, if they are even aware that they are dying. Just thinking of some war video footage and my own experience of the crash that broke my neck and back and almost killed me. And those that I have seen die. Some of this is a matter of mental state of awareness, or sudden onset of unknown factors to the individual, while others is a matter of an unseen assailant.

There seems to be a similar general demographic of late 30's to early 40's users here... (could easily be my confirmation bias saying that). I was around for Napster, GeoCities, MySpace, Yahoo, Mama, AoL, AiM, and if you are ~40yo, you likely were in this same wave of broad scale adoption of the internet by average Joe jr public in the latest 90's and early naughties. We are the first group where digital life is the rule, not the exception(s) and early adopters; the first gen of internet grandparents... How does that legacy play out. /r

I've messed with this dozens of times with various AI models that are generally good at abstractions with advanced prompting, custom diffusion settings outside of the typical, and some hacks in the model loader code. I seem to lack the vocabulary to describe the fundamental geometry of centrifugal gravity in the kind of depth required. Like how does one say that the road ahead curves up like a hill continuing overhead with the buildings anchored to...

I need language here that has unambiguous specificity and likely does not occur in any other context. Layperson verbosity will fail to get traction without fine tuning the model first. I prefer to explore what models can really do using settings and the prompts only.

Most of my vocabulary and understanding of geometry is limited to the Cartesian planes and CAD assemblies. Perhaps someone here has a better lexicon and doesn't mind sharing.

This is not a question of about parroted nonsense and cultural norms. I mean what end product do they produce that justifies their existence in the first place.

I'm physically disabled and have been living in a prison like situation for nearly 11 years. How does my situation balance into the ethics of prisons? I'm on a path to homelessness and a premature death due to institutionalized neglect and abuse from US institutions. Criminals are housed and fed in exchange for similar isolation, abuse, danger, insurmountable debt, and a largely unemployable and destitute future. These seem to conflict in ethics.

Already did my usual 16 mile physical therapy routine, so I did it again. Haven't gone over 26 miles in ~3 years. Me and the cats, dead in a bed rn, 2 brain cells between the three of us

Like all buildings should have some kind of standard for solar panel placement added or retrofitted with a very low cost modular mounted frame. Then, when you get an appliance it has a built in battery and comes paired with the right size panels that are sized for each region in the local store/wholesale distribution layer.

The whole scheme is hybrid in the first phase of a decade or so while edge cases and issues come up, like how to handle high rise buildings. Then the burden of grid infrastructure is less of a burden on the poor in total because few people are going to replace all appliances in this instance unlike those that can install a whole house solar system. The entire thing would be more incremental and serviceable over time with modularity. It is less efficient overall compared to a single controller and battery but doesn't require large upfront cost or repurchase later down the line.

I get the stupid basic excuse about big tech purchasing loads of silicon. That reasoning seems deeply flawed and idiotic to me. If Deepseek R1 democratizes training more for less, then that means customers with mid to small size data centers like universities now have access to train and research models in this space. Nvidia does not have a real competitor, so they get the sale. Their potential customer base just grew exponentially right? OpenAI should be devalued massively by this change, but I don't see why anything impacts Nvidia negatively in this instance. Am I missing something or is the market this level of stupid? (I have no skin in this game)

I'm especially interested in the disabled or people that have to rely on others for support, government or otherwise. Tell me your story if you are up for it. I don't care how old this post is, tell me anyways.
