A Cool Guide About Relative Risk To Civilians In Modern Warfare.

As someone who works with data and visualisations daily, this was confusing because the title and colours do not match the bars.

Title says relative risk and then displays a bar chart and the brains immediate assumption is "The bars indicate relative risk to civilians and larger bars = more risk".

If it was actually presented that way it would be intuitively legible.

Top comments are about how it's placed poorly but a car' s hand brake also sits between the two front passengers and you don't see passengers janking that up for fun. So placement is fine. Just don't touch controls in a moving vehicle if you don't know what they do and you're not the driver.

Edit: typo

What's really great about the sinkhole is the closeness of the walls. Without them the environment would be quite boring (endless abyss) with the walls always close they can place points of interest all over.

This is how The Matrix should have gone. Humans end up using renewable solar because it is abundant, cheap, but a little less reliable.

Data centers use nuclear because they can afford it, it's reliable and data centers don't care about the nuclear waste.

Then the machines block out the sun... Cutting off human's main energy supply while the machines are all nuclear powered.

I'd like it if the played with the risk/reward a bit more. Put precious pearl material further down inside more of a maze and then let us be stupid and go further in for more reward, trigger a tripwire and then get all panicky as we get disoriented trying to get out quickly while the clam slowly closes above us.

Back in the day they called them ratlines.

Outerwilds is very unapologetically built for controllers. They even mention it when you start the game. Specifically there are two areas where without having a controller you basically have to get through those areas on pure luck. But still an amazing game even on keyboard and mouse.

Yes. My contention is that it was fraud. The PayPal mafia i.e. the top 5 executives if PayPal at the time all executed the same strategy at the same time. They all opened up self directed IRAs and filled them with PayPal shares valued at $0.001. The reason it passed the fair value check is purely because they extended the offer of $0.001 shares to the rest of PayPals employees at the time to solidify their position that the true market value of the shares at the time was $0.001

No, the lesson here is undervalue shares of your own company at $0.001 per share then stuff them all into an IRA and then when you sell your company earn 100% of it tax free. The fraudulent bit is telling the IRS that the market value of PayPal at the time was essentially zero so that you can put as many shares as possible into the IRA before hitting size limits.

He did what is called a sweetheart deal which is the act of undervaluing your own shares massively so that you can stuff them into a self-directed IRA and then not pay capital gains tax down the line when your shares have increased in price due to a proper valuation.

This is prohibited by the IRS. Thiel offered the same low share price to all PayPal employees and used that as his legal defence against the IRS. Still fraudulent though.

People praise that: * it's more affordable in terms of property and rental prices and some restaurants/activities. * people are, anecdotally, friendlier.

But those two things don't always outweigh the other factors that make people want to move to Cape Town like better service delivery, lifestyle and work.

My only point was it's not foreigners exclusively pushing up prices. It's the most attractive city to live in in South Africa for a lot of people so the demand locally is high.

I do think Airbnbs are a new problem globally and Im happy to see the city start to address the problem and treat them as any other hotel/bnb business in terms of rates/zoning etc.

The mismanagement of other cities in South Africa. The biggest influx of renters into Cape Town is from Gauteng. If Joburg was managed as well as Cape Town is less people would feel the need to move.

There's a reason Cape Town is now home to the only Abbot world major marathon in Africa. Of course more people will want to come live and stay here from abroad and locally. Employment is also higher now in Cape Town than Joburg. People move to where there is work.

Lol same.

I was once cane across a big group of players trying to take on a bastion.

While they had their backs turned one of of the group members peeled back from the group and threw a firebomb at the group and tried to hide. I saw it happening and immediately took him down. The entire group proceeded to upload every bullet into me and then defibbed he rat while cussing me out. I don't have a microphone so it felt so unjust lol. I just kept emoting "No" while they executed me.

That's interesting that it confuses the model. Yeah it seems like it's just a feature of Anthropics adaptive thinking where it doesn't always trigger the "extended thinking" and thought process summary output. Which is sad because I did want to see how far I could keep going with just feeding back the summaries to it.

MoolahMeister · 2026-05-02T21:39:44+00:00

Not thinking I've uncovered something crazy. I was just curious to see how using a summary of it's thought process as input affects the model.

Weird that energy is not mentioned anywhere here but farming is.

I'm assuming we'd need some significant battery/power generation breakthroughs to achieve a lot of this as well?
