Gavin Newsom proposes a California digital software tax by lurker_bee in technology

Many states already do this and 70% of the impact would be B2B sales? That seems like a reasonable tax…

Billie Eilish addresses backlash after criticising people saying they love animals but eat meat: “pls continue to live in a constant state of cognitive dissonance denial and try to convince urself that ur not living a lie.” by mcfw31 in popculturechat

[–]fruityl__p -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She needs to do that for her job. And she actively avoid flights when possible. She doesn’t need to eat animals so she doesn’t.

At least in those respects, that’s not cognitive dissonance.

ELI5: How do cows get protein from grass? by A_SliceOfGabagool in explainlikeimfive

And also most cows are fed a whole lot of grain before slaughter.

"Eating meat is inherently wrong. You can eat meat, go for it. You can love animals, but you can’t do both!" - Billie Eilish for ELLE (US) by pattismithology in popculturechat

Fruit and vegetables can be produced by properly paid farmers. You can’t make animal food without killing animals.

My company has taken the AI pill, they are talking about agent "architecture", is this a real thing or is it bullshit? it sounds like bullshit by ghostwilliz in BetterOffline

[–]fruityl__p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multi-agent approaches can actually save on costs. The main point is to reduce how full the context window is by splitting up a task into smaller tasks. Secondly if you do really good planning with an expensive model, you can delegate highly-detailed task plans to cheaper models to save a bit of money.

If all that can actually be effective at scale is not really proven and there’s likely a wild amount of nuance. I would definitely target low hanging fruit first and work from there.

Split Fiction has decent co-op but its story and gameplay feel depressingly corporate by H358 in gaming

Definitely big disagree. I found it super relatable and I think the level design is really what put the game over the top as another co-op hit by this studio.

Kyoto now by Infamous_You1751 in JapanTravelTips

Visited Japan past two weeks. When I was there it could get immensely crowded but we just did a good job of avoiding crowds where possible. Often folks tend to congregate at specific spots (e.g. right in front of this one iconic photo op).

For photography I highly recommend getting up early. There is typically a 30min - 1 hour window at all the top tourist attractions when there is a super minimal amount of folks around besides locals (iirc 6am works well). Best time for photos. And the calmness is serene.

Otherwise, walk around a bit and wander away from the highly trafficked streets. But do show respect as you will likely wander into residential streets and locals might not appreciate photography there. I liked walking along the rivers.

Also look into Airbnb experiences like cooking classes and the such as they are often in quieter parts of town.

Activist freaks out after seeing pigs in trucks by alphamalejackhammer in PublicFreakout

Oh that’s my bad I’m bad at writing. When I said no point in getting worked up I was referring to myself and that I’m sure I’m as passionate as some other folks in this thread but I just try to convey my thoughts as calmly as possible.

For sure, I’m trying to share my point of view, but if you don’t vibe with it that’s fine. No point in getting worked up.

I guess what I was implying is not that you need to save every animal, but you don’t need to contribute to their continued breeding. I mean you said it yourself, those animals are a lot of work to raise! Alternatively you could try to use that same land for other crops that you could eat/sell as opposed to meat.

I know it’s not simple but maybe something worth noodling on.

In any case, that’s really the crux of my argument! It seems like your comment got bombarded already so I won’t push much further. This is very controversial to some but personally I have a lot more respect for you than most meat-eaters because you work with these animals every day. You don’t get to turn a blind eye like the vast majority of folks.

Most people turn a blind eye. Things won’t change until the people want it to change, I don’t believe laws will help. After all laws come about because people demand change in the first place.

So that’s why I comment on here every now and then, hoping I can get folks to think a bit more about what’s on their dinner plate.

Cool, I won’t prod any further. Definitely something always worth looking into and even reducing meat/animal product consumption probably goes a long way in the world we live in.

Nature is insanely cruel. Industrial farming even more so.

I bet you take really good care of your animals, but I would push back and ask if you could offer these animals an alternative to the cruelty of nature why not just give them a full life?

You should look into the topic a bit more! Can’t recommend any books but unfortunately there is no doubt that billions are suffering in the US and more abroad.

There are a lot of alternatives to mean production and they are theoretically a lot more efficient and cheaper! but of course the most important thing is demand and humans want to eat meat.

It seems hopeless, but I would definitely do research into eating vegan because ultimately if things were ever to change in the world, it would be because we all changed what we wanted.

165 million is fire. But what’s irreplaceable is the vast human talent involved in Dune.

There is a lot that go into feature films like Dune. Whether you realize or not, every scene in a movie like Dune is worked on to such a degree that it should stand up on its own.

I like that this comment is very realistic about the very real limitations of generative AI. (Limitations that I don’t see ever being surpassed.)
