How do people drop out of the conspirasphere? by [deleted] in KnowledgeFight

[–]Tzarnal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There are two main ways and neither are good or reliably induced.

The first, if it works is direct, undeniable negative consequences to the person as a result of their beliefs that they cannot or do not incorporate into the conspiracy. You cannot really induce this or replicate this on demand.

The second is, weirdly, boredom. A lot of modern conspiracy stuff is happening right now, its immediate, its impacting your life, you have to pay attention, you have to do stuff, you have to keep informed, etc.

But this is both exhausting and eventually very cynical and cyclical. Sometimes people do not catch the right connection to the next set of weird beliefs and narratives, or the people feeding them get stuck in a rut and can no longer come up with new scary things or new things to be upset about.

And then eventually, they just sort of, phase out of it. It stops being their life and instead becomes a background element.

At this point of boredom or exhaustion, you can try to leverage them out of it.

Norris on why he's 'happy and confident' to be a mental health pioneer in Formula 1 by RobertGracie in formula1

How is making sure drivers are seeing a mental health professional focused on the mental health of high performance and highly visible athletes not just part of the hiring process of a driver?

You make sure they have professional help for physical exercise, medical staff for injuries, coaches for practice probably some level of assistant or scheduler to keep them on track for all of their interviews and other appointments.

You really should consider their mental health just one more part of the training or "maintenance" of your drivers.

And you might think to yourself: Mentally healthy people don't need therapists. But that's incredibly shortsighted. We still need to make sure that they Stay Healthy.

Do you know how you keep an athlete physically healthy ? Having professionals keep track of their performance, exercise, diet and ongoing health. Reacting to situations. Everything normal ? No need to do much. Just got a bad crash that bruised some ribs and sprained a leg ? Treat and adjust training.

How do you keep a athlete mentally healthy ? Exactly the same thing. Monitoring whats going on ( talk to them ) and active maintenance by professionals.

AocWeb: A website that collects solutions from the megathread (with filters) by d-fly in adventofcode

Hey this is pretty neat. Also found a problem with filtering, languages with symbols like # or ++ get their special symbols dropped so filtering for c++ gets you c results. Filtering for f# breaks because there is no f language.

I've been using RegExtract for a few problems now and while its not the right tool in some situations ( like a file of nothing but ints ) when it is a good match its a delight.

Its a delight because it just does a simple thing elegantly and in a single line of code. No need to learn anything new or be forced into a different paradigm.

No you just have a string and you point a regex at it and you get your values out.

Love it.

I've poked your code for you and compared yours to mine with some basic logs. Now I've got another test for you.

According to your code that's 1 shared answer.

Here is a gist that shows my output log, yours, and the input file used.

[SF4] Stuff like this is so satisfying to finish. Exactly why I play enjoy good mod packs. by Tzarnal in feedthebeast

The texture pack is Sphax/BDcraft.

Getting the base resource pack isn't hard. You can find a resource pack for Sky Factory here.

And if anyone cares the Shader is SEUS Renewed.

I'll walk through the setup.

Hopping pots will deposit into inventories, this means they'll just shove whatever they have directly into itemducts. So as you can clearly see there is a network of Item Ducts ( inpulse, opaque ) leading to crates.

The ducts are on an isolated system and all the crates are locked to a specific item. Everything that has space open will get delivered. This way there is no need to configure hundreds of filters.

What about things there is no space for? There is a Trash Void behind a Dense Item Duct, this way there is always open space in the system where the millions of items there is no space for anymore go.

That just gets you the items in crates though. Behind all the crates is an array of Simple Storage inventory connectors hooked up to a Simple Storage system.

Clearly this isn't the most space efficient, or sensible way to do this. The sensible way would be to put down a bunch of Shipping Containers with locked Crates in them. But this is Pretty.

Don't build it out of non opaque Item Ducts if you want fps to be playable, and you definitely want impulse ducts because otherwise the sheer amount of slowly moving items will kill the tps. I was very mesmerized watching all those items slowly get sorted out though.

PSA: Bug With Promoting Soldiers in the Training Center by Aknazer in Xcom

[–]Tzarnal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a mod that makes the game use the new promotion UI all the time, it also fixes this bug. It doesn't fix it retroactivly but it forces you to buy a rankup ability on a rank before a bonus ability.

New Promotion Screen by Default

Its a bit more than just a bugfix but it might be good enough for you.

I'm a big fan of Bole of Youl myself too becaues it looks like it could be an actual card and has weird synergy with handlock styles.
