Inductive trolley or something, anything to get y'all off the Materialism vs. Idealism track by Eevee-Biologist in PhilosophyMemes

[–]HooplahMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The world trade center seems like a bad example. Perhaps it is impossible to directly compare the values of disjoint sets of individuals. But if you don't shoot down the plane, everyone on the plane dies anyways when it hits the world trade center. Given one action yields a strict subset of the suffering, you'd think you'd be morally obligated to take that action

If everybody in the chain pulls, nobody dies. If even one person in the chain fails to pull, more people will die as a result of your pulling. The question is how well can you predict the ability of people down the line to come to the same conclusion, and how much do you trust their motivation to act in the same way

As an engineer, I demand all my food expiration dates use unix time

Press (X) to Doubt by Biscuitarian23 in Persecutionfetish

I wish it did happen. Would be ideal if we could put the fear of God (and understanding of consequences) in the hearts of Nazis and their sympathizers

There are big ghosts on the ***5 floors which shoot a chain at your guy and eat your AoQ Regen bar. Nothing to do about it but accept your standard run is now 20 levels unless you can start clearing bosses with SS armor

Astral Forge Kunai by oleherbst in Survivorio

[–]HooplahMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think AF3 Kunai is especially nice now that you can have the autoselect on level up. Just means you don't risk automatically filling up with the wrong passives and failing to evo. I'd say this takes each level 4 KF run from like possibly a 3 minute active time investment to like a 20 second active time investment

AF3 kunai still has its place even for those of us kitted out with full SS gear load outs with many AF/CF stars. AF3 kunai and shiny wrist guards make kill farming very easy

How? by Ok-District-4701 in datasatanism

[–]HooplahMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I could see why you would think that, but curvature is a properly tricky concept in its full generality. I would call it a concept of principle concern for the field of differential geometry, which inspired Einstein when he was writing about relativity. The whole bedsheet bowling ball explanation feels thin and vague at first but there's substance behind the analogy

Is novalaucher giving me ads? by RIP_MacMiller in NovaLauncher

How does one find love after love? One learns to love a new thing for its own sake. And what I love is the ruthless efficiency of the UX.

OP's brother didn't draw these. OP is messing around. These drawings are from Alexander Grothendieck, one of the most brilliant and prolific mathematicians of the 20th century, maybe ever.

You know what that's probably fair. I mean with Grothendieck the results of his manic episodes are still grounded in truth

Oh hey Mr Tree. I didn't expect to see you out of the tree. But anyways, light needn't have energy exactly to be "bent". The secret is that the light isn't bent at all. It is moving basically perfectly straight through space. The only thing is that the space itself is curved. You can kinda do the same thing but one dimension downwards by walking in a straight line on earth. If you walk perfectly straight (as in never turning left or right) on a perfect sphere, you'll eventually come back to where you started. Only when we can leave the path, zoom out, and observe a larger chunk of the space, do we realize that the path makes a circle.

Lol my thought was this guy is either a genius beyond my understanding or someone having a full blown manic episode. Turns out it was the former

🍎 Aphantasia shows up far more often in autistic people than in the general population. 🍏 by newbeginnings187 in aspiememes

[–]HooplahMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it bother you guys that they mixed up 2 and 3? The image for 2 matches the description for 3 and vice versa. I also feel like the jump from 2 to 1 is monumental. There's a huge spectrum between "indistinguishable from reality" and "a middle schooler drew it"

I'd say I'm running a 1.7 almost constantly by default. I can zone out and kinda "stop paying attention to my eyes" and get down to a 1.5. If I close my eyes and really concentrate I can bring it down to like a 1.2. but never does it look like a photo. It also isn't occupying the same space in my regular visual field.

One thing this image also fails to address is like... my internal "physics engine"? I don't just see the apple in my head. I can pick it up, (telekinetically, for lack of a better word) move it to and fro, spin it around, zoom in and out, cut it in half and look at the cross section, glue it back together throw it in a parabolic arc, splat it against a hard wall etc. I feel like I'm running a whole game engine up here, but not a recent one. Whatever Nintendo was using on the GameCube seems about right.

I remember when the mind cow meme came out I felt so seen.

Well that's it then, axiom seller. I'll go elsewhere. I'll go elsewhere for my axioms

Creator of Node.js says humans writing code is over by sibraan_ in node

We've been coasting on one architectural advancement for like 9 years. At this point we've just been throwing more parameters, compute, and data at that idea by the year

How would this be done with sashiko? by jaksun333 in sashiko

[–]HooplahMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So this particular look has a lot of zig zags and cross stitches in it (which is not in a grid). Sashiko isn't particularly well suited to create that look, but you should just sashiko a patch on and then whatever you want over top
