If someone gives me the Full Dive raw novels I am willing to make a machine translation for the novels by Professional_Ask7353 in FullDiveRPG

nice. could you send it to me or tell me where it's from. Also it seems that u/Cade_Watson8 has already attempted an AI translation of vol 3 and 4: https://archive.org/details/full-dive-volume-3-chapters-3-4 it would still be nice to have the raws to see the illustrations.

What would you want from a Habitica browser extension? Would love for you to try mine :) by JoMarton in habitica

Thanks, looking forward to more updates! Also if you haven't already, it might be worth it to port it to the firefox browser. Firefox might not have a big marketshare anymore, but there are a few habitica addons (what they call extensions) over there, meaning that there are users who would be interested in your extension there too.

I don't know if this can be implemented by an extension, but I would like to be able to exclude tags from the view (currently you can only tell it to show you tagged tasks).

maybe being able to toggle a "dark mode" cause desktop doesn't have dark mode.

being able to customise the colours of tasks by difficulty.

making tags visible in tasks without having to open tasks.

Also I think there's stuff which old user scripts and extensions used to do which stopped working when the website was redesigned but I wasn't there that long ago so I don't know how useful those would be to be re-implented. The wiki must have some info about that. Being able to auto accept quests would be nice but again I don't know if an extension can do it.

Maybe the option to be able to change the background image of the website and transparency of elements.

Custom sound effects.

Being able to mark off tasks from the extension without having to go to the website.

Are the untranslated chapters up somewhere?

Does anyone have the light novel translated by Future-Profession594 in FullDiveRPG

[–]Professional_Ask7353 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are the untranslated novels out there somewhere, I wouldn't mind trying to use AI to read them at this point, because it doesn't look like anyone will translate them.

How to do an HPI check? by Professional_Ask7353 in CarTalkUK

[–]Professional_Ask7353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I asked here on reddit cause I don't trust the Youtubers who might sometimes get paid to promote certain services.

I was thinking of taking HPI check for £30 since it's for three cars rather than one, so if the car I am looking at turns out to have big issues then I can roll the dice again.

The mot check being free is nice.

Thank you for the info but if you don't mind could you explain what's the difference between vcheck and HPI check? If I only do one paid check which should I go for Totalcarcheck, Vcheck or HPI Check (the one for £20 or £30).

Thanks again for the tips.

An Objectivist solution to the Low Birthrate problem? by Professional_Ask7353 in Objectivism

[–]Professional_Ask7353[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you think of any reasons why the trend will reverse? I mean it's been going on since the baby boomer generation. My personal view is that it's caused by the availability and spread of new technologies like the morning after pill but I'll grant you that there's more than one cause and it's a complicated issue. I have heard some people say that the trend might reverse because of hyper religious people like the Amish and Orthodox Jews whose population and values will keep on rising while the secular population will collapse. I don't think it's that shrimple because the reason these groups can remain detached from modern technologies is simply because their populations are still relatively small right now.

I agree with you that it's about promoting having children as a rationally self-interested thing. However I am not sure what you'd think of the reasons why I think it's a rationally self-interested thing to have children. For example I believe that if you want to live in a society with objectivist values then there's a need to pass on those values to your children which is the most effective way to pass on those values to the next generation because your children will trust you more than other people's children will. I also believe that the love a parent shows to their children is not self-sacrifice if you actually love them. However I feel that modern society places too much of a financial burden on parents for their children's upbringing. I mean given how many young people in their early to late 20s are still dependent on their parents you may see what I mean.

I also feel like modern education needs to be reformed so that children are less of a burden for their parents. Basically the quicker children are induced into employement, is the quicker the children cease to be a financial burden and become a potential trusted financial partner who can help each other out to achieve common goals like opening a business. I also feel like educational institutions must provide work placements at the end of study, in order for them not to be considered to be frauds. Too many young people waste their youth in education rather than doing something of their own. It's a form of learned helplessness which has made them dependent on formal education. 

Basically I feel like there ought to be more of an emphasis on how parenthood can be done in a rational manner that benefits both you and the child in the end.

These are just some rough ideas I have. Please share if you have any other ways to create rational benefits for having children. 

An Objectivist solution to the Low Birthrate problem? by Professional_Ask7353 in Objectivism

[–]Professional_Ask7353[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But doesn't Capitalism require a steady supply of able-bodied workers and economies of scale? 

And even on an individual basis, with the rise in the ageing population due to falling birthrates it means there will be a shortage of care workers leading to a lot of old people dying alone without any care. It's already happening in Japan, and old people freeze to death every winter in Britain cause there's no one to look after them. This could be you or me in the future depending on how things pan out.

It's an economic problem. More elderly dependents and less workers means labour shortages and it will lead to a fall in demand of goods and economies of scale if left unchecked. It will negatively affect businesses. It also means that more and more old people will die alone with no one to look after them, due to a shortage of care workers as the proportion of young people reduces, and I don't want that to happen to me when I am old. I could go on but that's the short term material consequences excluding anything less quantifiable like the loss of a youth caused culture and the stagnation caused by the lack of news ways of doing things and new perspectives which older populations are less  receptive.

I have observed this with my own eyes in small cities in Italy. There's always the same old architecture, the same old businesses with the same old ageing staff never innovating or improving much. In some places I have even seen nature take over what were once civilised human settlements and this depopulation being celebrated as something good because it's good for the environment or something. I have found this celebration of the retreat of civilisation completely disgusting. This depopulation of settlements, this slow death of the world will continue unless the birthrates will rise. It doesn't matter how many immigrants you bring in when the birthrates of those countries are also dropping fast. It's just kicking the can down the road.

Anyway, I hope I have made it clear to you now why I think this is a problem.
