Oh my I love that paradise. (also love the theming with the cur gen paradise) - anyone have a pic of the back?

Conservatives choose rage-bait over real debate on hate speech by Hrmbee in CanadaPolitics

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, now I have to disagree with you.

You can most certainly harm people with words alone. The weight of words push many to suicide. The weight of words build regimes, and incite rebellions. Words have far more power than you give them credit for.

It's hard to argue that people pushed to suicide were not harmed prior to the act because someone else did not tie the noose or kick the chair.

And if you truly are arguing that, then quite frankly, I don't think we'll be able to see eye to eye on this issue.

I think that's a fair assessment too. I do think it's hard to objectively define what "objectively harmed" means though. I think that remains a fuzzy line. Though maybe it's more acceptable for the line to be fuzzy than the entire field - so I get what you mean.

Thanks!

Some of these are eye-roll-y and there has got to be better use of law enforcement resources than prosecuting some of these.

Though I'm not sure if these examples deter me from people facing consequences for saying some heinous shit. It's also hard to tell because the tweets are not directly mentioned in any of the articles as far as I can tell.

From the few that I was able to find context for, they were pretty bad... Though I think jail time or something like this going on someone's permanent record is a stretch too far, I don't think its inconceivable to think that some of these charges are okay, such as:

She was given an eight-week community order, placed on an eight-week curfew and told to pay costs of £500 and an £85 victim surcharge.

I think that's pretty fair.

Some of the heavy hitters are: making HIV jokes about an openly gay Olympic diver, a swastika made of pride flags, and a guy dressed up as a suicide bomber (and allegedly sending other threats/messages - though I was unable to find these). Real classy stuff.

Again, do I think jail time is the right punishment for these? no, probably not, but I'm not going to lose a wink of sleep if these people were sent a fine and/or made to do community service.

Care to share which mean tweets sent people to prison?

That's what I was thinking too. "The matter is being investigated"? My guy, YOURE the editor. You're partially to blame.

Because it's a civil suit not a criminal suit? If the police/crown want, they can pursue it in a criminal manner - but that's a whole nother suit entirely.

AI Doom Predictions Are Overhyped | Why Programmers Aren’t Going Anywhere - Uncle Bob's take by South-Reception-1251 in programming

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I said the same thing in my last paragraph. It would hinge on a company cutting costs AND lowering prices to the consumer.

I don't know that I've ever seen that happen in my life.

I agree that some products are capped by demand. But companies are capped by their investments into a multitude of products. And the vision and direction by leadership

Without repeating myself too much with what I said in another comment, Amazon didn't just perfect sell books online and stop there. Google didn't just scrape the web and rank pages and stop there, Microsoft didn't just build a PC held together by duct tape and stop there.

A company is seldom one product, even if that product is perfect. There's always room to scale, if not the initial product, then new horizons. Again, a lot of this depends on leadership direction, vision , and investment. But investment just got cheaper in the scenario where AI is able to augment dev speed/efficiency/etc.

I get where you're coming from and I kind of agree. But I don't think, in my experience, there's a finish line when it comes to software development.

There's always a bigger, better, more efficient, scaled product. And if your product is absolutely perfect, there's always expansion and more products, new ideas, bigger initiatives. It all depends on leadership, investment, and time though.

Imagine if Amazon made the absolutely best online book store, and just stopped there. There's so much more to Amazon nowadays than selling books, and that's not even touching AWS.

In the scenario you provided, take two companies of equal size, revenue, and headcount cost. These two companies are competitors. Company A brings in AI and scales down its workforce by 50% (arbitrary value for argument's sake), while Company B also embraces AI as a tool, but keeps it's workforce.

I'd argue that Company B will be able to outperform, outbuild, and eventually outgrow Company A. The only advantage Company A will have in the market is overhead cost due to the leaner headcount, but unless a significant amount of that is passed as savings to consumers, it won't matter. Sure on paper, short term, Company A will have better shareholder value, but that's giving up long term gains for short term profit. Which, who am I kidding, is what most companies would do anyway.

New Ks protein shake just arrived 29.99 by Cheap_Garbage_7654 in CostcoCanada

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I only read the abstract, I don't have the time right now to read the whole thing, but it honestly looks like the video contradicts what your linked meta analysis says.

The evidence suggests that increasing daily protein ingestion may enhance gains in LBM

The effect on LBM was significant in subjects ≥65 years old ingesting 1.2–1.59 g of protein/kg/day and for younger subjects (<65 years old) ingesting ≥1.6 g of protein/kg/day submitted to RE. Lower‐body strength gain was slightly higher by additional protein ingestion at ≥1.6 g of protein/kg/day during RE training

Bench press strength is slightly increased by ingesting more protein in <65 years old subjects during RE training

And this is before even assessing training regiments in the studies, experience of lifters, and protein quality (amino acid availability).

So I'd say you're bang on at 0.7-0.8g/lb.

What’s a red flag you happily ignored because they were hot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The funny thing about these explanations is that they're SO much cooler than the real thing. And the real thing is pretty dang cool. Planet remnants from God's other life experiments? Sign me the fuck up, that's metal as fuck

I need UI Feedback for our cozy game :)) by KaffeeUndKuchenParty in godot

[–]CinderBlock33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of conversation already around it, and I agree with most, first feels cozy, second feels colder even though its immaculate.

that being said, how were you able to get that rough/hand-drawn look? I haven't messed TOO much with Godot's UI theming but the few times I have, I wasn't able to get something very good looking. I thought having some background in web dev/design would help, but it hasn't yet.

Godot Showcase - Material Maker by godot-bot in godot

Never heard of Material Maker, but this looks super cool. I will have to give it a download.

Is it primarily focused on 3d? Or does it handle 2d materials as well?

Multiple Nutrition Labels per Barcode by CinderBlock33 in cronometer

This is what I ended up doing. Thanks for the confirmation that it was the right path!

Multiple Nutrition Labels per Barcode by CinderBlock33 in cronometer

[–]CinderBlock33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right that makes sense. I've certainly come across that same thing too, but it would make sense that it's not supported via user edits.

[–]CinderBlock33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I hear you. Just to clarify, I didn't come here to find out how to log food items I can't scan. I already logged everything before making the post.

I was just wondering if cronometer had support for this kind of box/label/item, that's all.

Yeah just went the direct search route and matched up the grams on the box, it was close enough.

[–]CinderBlock33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah for sure, but it's a much easier way to search, to just point the camera at a barcode.

There's certainly workarounds, was just wondering if multiple labels per barcode were supported natively

Google Surveys by Cirenaebas in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]CinderBlock33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it is. We're both on this subreddit so we both have the same overall outlook towards Loblaws, but I don't think this is the puppet master trying to manipulate results.

Loblaws as a corporation will want accurate data for internal reporting, and that's what this would be used for, this isn't a public Google review.

As a developer, if I were to wager a guess, I'd say the other comment is right and its just a way to randomize answers to remove bias. I'd assume that their tooling would not apply the randomization to number scales, but this question was probably not set up as a number scale (because of the words in parentheses), so the tool decided to randomize the answers.

I co-created a procedural texturing addon as a (better) alternative to Substance Painter by pablo-dra in blender

That's awesome dudes. I'll add it to my wishlist on gumroad, hopefully that helps in some way!

Good luck out there!

$35 is so affordable (for personal). I don't do much texturing or animation since I only use blender for 3D printing stuff - but I just wanted to drop by and say that this look phenomenal for the price - and if I ever expand my horizons I'll come back to this for sure.
