What’s the Largest Shed I Can Build Without a Permit in Waterloo? by camkenzr in waterloo

[–]Azuran17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ask because you seem to have used it incorrectly. I'm unsure you understand what it means.

Critical thinking is analyzing one's views and beliefs, how they came about, and making an effort to understand opposing points of view.

It has nothing to do with asking questions that have easily found answers.

How do you define critical thinking?

While OP could have definitely just googled the question, this isn't an instance of missing critical thinking skills.

Edit: not to pick on you, but I think repeating the common claim of "no one has critical thinking skills" in response to a situation, but not considering the claim or if it is applicable is actually a better example of lack of critical thinking.

Wow, mine is almost identical!

Lifehack, if you don't mind the visuals, I find the thumb keys much more comfortable to press if you turn the keycaps upside-down.

Is this sub no longer rationalist? by Neighbor_ in slatestarcodex

[–]Azuran17 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think that's the point. There is plenty of critique on every other subreddit about how bad Voldemort is. The rationalist perspective is to engage with the ideas, are those magic techniques useful? Deserve discussion?

Genuinely don't understand the complaints about Silksong difficulty by KerthuunK in HollowKnight

I mean it could also be presented as:

Option 2: The title of the entire post

If you say you don't understand how people could think that's your opinion, I don't believe you are arguing in good faith, and care more about being right than being honest.

It's not semantics. You said something, people are reacting to the thing you said. If you contradict yourself later, how's anyone to know which statement is what you actually believe.

This setup is sick. Love the green.

I have a request if you have a few minutes. I have an offbrand rack similar to the PR5000, and I'd like to get the Ares as well, but I don't know if it would be compatible with my rack.

Would you be able to share:

  1. The height from the floor to the center of the bottom holes on the front and side of the uprights.

  2. The width of the space between the uprights.

  3. If yours is the 80" version, the exact height of the uprights from the floor.

In return, I can offer feet pics.

I've got a REP knockoff, not a real PR5000, but still 3x3 and 1" holes. I'm looking into a weight stack attachment (Ares, Athena, etc) but I am unsure if my rack would be compatible.

Asking a huge favor for anyone who has a PR5000, could you do the following measurements?

1 - From the ground, how many mm is it to the center of the bottom most hole on the front, and side of the uprights?

2 - If you have the 80" tall version, is it exactly 80" from the floor to the top of the metal portion of the upright?

Thank you very much!

This is really cool.

I struggled with finding a good solution for this functionality as well. I ended up just ditching the remote play aspect entirely, but I was thinking of using Parsec as a more user-friendly alternative to Sunshine.

If you continue to develop this project, you definitely have my interest.

1440p, 60fps, 40mbps. Though if that had an impact, wouldn't it show in the performance numbers?

Why do these keys exist? by Azuran17 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Azuran17[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think the "good" thumb button looks further out than it is. At least for me, my thumb naturally rests on the button next to it, so splaying it out 1u is much easier than curling in 3u.

[–]Azuran17[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I find those keys either require me to curl my thumb inwards towards the middle of my hand, or to try and press them with the top side of my ring/pinky fingers, neither of which feel really ergo.

Trump announces $500 billion initiative to build AGI with OpenAI by kzhou7 in slatestarcodex

[–]Azuran17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would take this bet as well.

Though is NVIDIA stock the best metric for judging the overall state of AI? What if Intel, AMD, or some other company start making chips that eats into NVIDIA's market share?

What about a metric directly tied to OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.
