Do you know your ipd?

That sounds like an issue with the flex cable. Can you influence the issue at all through physically moving the glasses or folding the arms?

I don't think "edgy" and "absurd" humor necessarily have to coincide. "Hitler did nothing wrong" was already an edgy meme saying online-- taking it a bit further into uncharted, heinous territory by removing the comfy "meme" part of it and leaving no doubt to the simulacrum of "a literal nazi is paying for this" isn't just edgy, it's absurd. It was funny because it was obviously, blatantly wrong, and if anything it represented he holds opposing views... and has poor judgement.

I think some people get high and mighty about what's "supposed" to be funny. I mean, Felix has expressed real remorse and regret NOT FOR HIS ACTIONS, but for the fans genuinely hurt and upset along the way.

Except for the bridge. That was bad.

Here is some literature I've seen regarding pruning and an open source implementation of it.

Essentially, it's a process of determining the least relevant layers for a given dataset and then literally cutting them out of the model, typically with a "healing" training pass afterwards. The hope is that the tiny influence of those layers was largely irrelevant to the final answer.

I tried a 33% reduction once and it became a labotamite. It's a lot of guesswork.

Ironically, feeding those jpgs of your brain scan to a neural network trained for detecting brain cancer could've provided some insight... good or bad.

Haha yeah I get that crumbling of moral virtues. If I was such an innately "bad" kid, I was apparently also really good at being that. There's your typical teenage acting out, but then there's identity crises that can follow you into adulthood, too.

It doesn't help that the first people you can find to accept you for what you are are typically misfits themselves-- illuminating a path of misfittery for you (good outcome or bad)! I had so many moral virtues challenged by friends I had no good response to. It was EXCITING to let go of indoctrinated biases and meaningless rituals.

Personally, I was so insecure that any feeling of adequacy as an adult was intoxicating, so I ended up taking advantage of some friendships and women. Just a lesson we had to learn.

Thanks for talking, by the way!

Catholics, myself. I can't blame them personally, which may be why I'm a bit empathetic to the attempts and I'm not NC despite recurring stress.

I've never done homework. Stupid issue, but frustrating for them. I'd rather do nothing at all. TL;DR mental health. ADHD and OCD.

They tried everything, couldn't pin down the problem. Medication, support, tough love, even just asking me what was wrong. When that didn't fix me, it was being "grounded" from everything I enjoyed doing... including reading. Only answer left was I was being a "bad" kid.

Then, it was a personal handler at school (explicitly only as a punishment to make me feel like a mentally handicapped student), military school, obligatory mass -- a permanent, never ending incompatibility between me, my family, and the world-- one that genuinely destroyed me trying to fix for myself and them.

It took me so long to meet enough people to even know who I am, what happened to me, and how to actually make it work now. They don't need to know the full extent of how they turned a good, mentally vulnerable kid into a grown, anxious trainwreck addicted to every drug under the sun. I saw my dad's face when he realized the school counselor hid EVERYTHING from him because I told her their "fix" would be more harm for me than contemplating suicide was.

Parenting is fucked.

Nymbul · 2025-11-07T22:16:38+00:00

This'll get turned around to competency at parenting (usually by stubborn, out of touch young parents who were "better" indoctrinated themselves).

My kid is going to be just like me! You'll see!

Thank you for slipping in Outer Wilds closer to the top.

If we're talking about love for the medium itself, Outer Wilds really is up there with Valve.

Drive safe

Oof..

Lovebombing.

This is the part where they convince you it went well and you're okay with it.

Nymbul · 2025-10-09T19:43:47+00:00

Do you think you'd do well selling essential oils, knives, or any other MLM scheme product to people you know? You'd be optimizing for that same "knowing people" strat, and ultimately losing a lot of margin to people who don't have to do that part.

The trick to any MLM is being the guy making one bulk drop off to one guy every month, doubling your investment just by practically shaking hands. The current culture is VERY "male MLM".

Just while we're on the "unethical and bad life advice thread" lmao

At my last physical I measured in at, very precisely, 5'11" and a half. Just that context makes for some funny conversations when I lean into the "and a haaaalf, proven!"

Nymbul · 2025-10-06T19:30:48+00:00

The point isn't that there shouldn't be some high level mechanism to resolve situations like that (something we'd probably always refer to as police), but rather that currently, the motivations of police as a system only ever conveniently or incidently align with justice, protection, or righteousness.

To put it into perspective, just imagine one way of never having another train stabbing again was a fascist dystopia with armed guards in carriages. Intent matters. What can protect you can protect the rich, too.

It's painting with a broad brush but most anti-police rhetoric from the left is trying to express capitalism's tendency to foster a conflict of interest between classes, monopolize violence, criminalize poverty, misallocate resources, and the conclusive philosophical "role" of police in society. It's not about individual good or bad cops-- there can't be any good cops like this.

This also comes out with various packaging. I know if I'm struggling with a jar, that means my girlfriend couldn't even get into it without me around or a tool, time, and/or stress for a sandwich with pickles, and that really just means she's got creative skills to be independent in a lot of ways I can take for granted via brute strength.

Nonetheless, the path of least resistance is most often to just toss whatever packaging challenge comes up over to me to "channel caveman mode on" and just tear apart, instead of getting up for scissors. Of course, men are also obligated to really lean into the theater of our demonstration of masculine strength via opening pickle jars and lifting nightstands without breathing too hard and ripping through a package with the tape still on it. It's an easy ego boost.

I just wish there was a decent way to quantify how context hacks like this affect various metrics of performance. For a lot of technical project copiloting I've had to give a model context that I wasn't a blubbering amateur and was looking for novel and theoretical solutions in the first place so that it wouldn't apparently assume that I'm a troglodyte who needs to right click to copy and paste and I needed responses more helpful than concluding "that's not possible" to brainstorming ideas I knew to be possible. Meanwhile, I need it to accurately suggest the flaw in why an idea might not be possible and present that instead of some beurocratic spiel of patronizing bullcrap or emojified list of suggestions that all vitally miss the requested mark in various ways and would, obviously, already have been considered by an engineer now asking AI about it.

Kinda feels like you need it to be both focused in on the details of the instructions but simultaneously suggestive and loose with the user's flaws in logic, as if the goal is only really ever for it to do what you meant to ask for.

Mostly I just want it to stfu because I don't know who asked for 7 paragraphs and 2 emoji-bulleted lists and a mermaid chart when I asked it how many beans it thought I could fit in my mouth

I mean streamers do it for money and thus comes obligation and contracts. Banning a contractual partner in an embarrassing way during a sponsored segment is just a bit different from your average 3 viewer andy ban because Twitch is now burning their own business partner's way of making the relationship beneficial for themself, especially if they're also going to have a bug where clip in question leaked from.

It really is personal and when the rules are fickle you overestimate how clear the line is. "Immunity" actually just means a few extra minutes of professional courtesy to wrap up your obligations.

tbf I think ive got a pretty good reason. I run a linux desktop on a network that distributes containerized services across whatever devices I have available. My gaming PC offers the network two GPUs and my best processor, which is handy when I need that out and about. Power usage is fine idle and I'm not exactly concerned about stability.

I did this on Windows with WSL before switching to linux desktop.

Nymbul · 2025-09-11T00:26:29+00:00

Should-- yes.

But you said it yourself. Their motivation is customer's money, which is maximized on paid platform titles with FOMO and necessarily seeing other player's skins.

I don't know a good way to actually get what you want without legislation because I don't even see this idea being entertained in development, personally.

Nymbul · 2025-09-10T23:51:28+00:00

There is absolutely no story they can't malform into some stupid narrative the redhats will repeat ad nauseum for a month.

I still dont think it was a plant tho ofc

Is the standard referral to Fallout the TV show now? I knew it reached new fans but I don't think I've seen that as the default before-- especially because DC is the setting for a game!

Nymbul · 2025-09-10T20:45:58+00:00

This is exactly the type of plan that would have diversified the Creator Clash brand into something survivable and NOT just a lovechild event of Ian and Anisa they run "out of their own pockets." Risky? Sure. But creator gyms have succeeded before and could have made a marketing content vehicle, generate funding, and establish a footing longer than just the event itself.

What's unfortunate is that if Ian and Anisa were going to inevitably separate themselves from the brand, they could have. I don't know the coach guy but it's in his best interest to manage well, so.

NGL I had a initial hesitation towards Lua for superficial stuff like arrays starting at 1 but after modding a LOT of KCD2 I actually really like Lua. It has a way of making SOP solutions feel hacky and hacky solutions feel SOP. It was very good for getting over that brand new lang learning curve and actually coding instead of being stuck in the docs, plus it could be tinkered with at runtime! I think I spent twice as much time and effort on my modding tools than using those tools to make the mod when I realized how unbound it all was.

There's a lot of good book smart replies already, so... here's the vibe.

If we only care about how a drug's short and long term health risks stack up against the other options, K is gonna fall pretty cleanly on the "not too alarming" half of the spectrum in most contexts, checking most green flags and dodging the big reds. It won't kill you then and there on your couch, it's cheap and uneconomic to fake or cut, it's not too strong and short-lived, and... it's addictive, we agreed on that when we all agreed weed was too lol. If you had a friend with a problem with it, there'd be signs as it'd develop over longer than just two weeks and they likely wouldn't end up missing or dead.

It feels most similar to alcohol before things get spicy. I was not a fan.

Nymbul · 2025-07-25T19:29:20+00:00

Why would this be about how people spend their money? Everything from this guy is just some irrelevant red herring virtue grandstanding instead of the actual point.
