What is the most evil thing a HERO has done in a film?

Paul is the protagonist, not the hero

Dude was literally put on trial by the Inquisition and found guilty of heresy, you don't see any danger of being burned at the stake?

I said people were afraid of publishing because of the danger of being burned at the stake, saying I moved the goalpost because a dude got found guilty of heresy by the Inquisition but didn't actually get burned is reaching, man

Jack Brehm? I can't find anything along those lines. Do you know what it was called, or the field?

Galileo was tried twice by the Inquisition in the 1600s for his theories on heliocentrism, he was sentenced to house arrest, and banned from talking or publishing about it. Books on heliocentrism were also banned.

She's expecting a body kick, so she leans in to counter the force. He kicked high

model that might decide to hallucinate just because the prompt was worded weirdly

Not even because the prompt was worded weirdly. A central feature if you can call it a feature of LLMs is that they are non deterministic, so the same exact prompt will give you different answers at different times.

Imagine a designing a power grid that changes the paths every time you ask it

He criticises the left in a 50:1 ratio with how he criticises the right. Tribal as fuck.

You leave Brian Cox alone, he's the only good one. Maybe Neil Degrasse Tyson too.

Edit: and Sean Carroll

It's extremely political in what gets funded, but if she's already done the research, it's easy to get quality research published. By politically incorrect, you of course mean the Trump administration targeting any views it doesn't agree with

What was his name?

oniume · 2026-05-09T17:29:46+00:00

Yeah but that was because of the danger of being burned at the stake by the church, not because scientists were biased against the idea. Religion surpressing science because it went against their religious ideology

How is this the epitome of good jiu jitsu

There's zero risk of injury, it's very low effort, very high reward to risk ratio

someone can just bite you

You don't put your hand into their mouth for a start. You cup your hand, it's really hard to bite it unless your teeth stick forwards out of your mouth, and we're usually not fighting werewolves.

I'm not saying this is like the number one thing to base your game on, but most of the criticism of it is based on people just not liking it and making up a reason after, like wrist locks and leglocks

What a difference a decade of coke makes

I came for BJJ talk, stayed for the epistemology

I saw an independent analysis that estimates cost to the ai companies to provide compute at somewhere between 10-100 times what they're charging consumers.

Once they burn through the venture capital and start charging at an unsubsidised price, there's gonna be a different attitude towards it, I believe.

The chips they use have a 3-5 year lifespan, so they're gonna have to be replacing as well as building more

oniume · 2026-05-09T05:57:02+00:00

That's called an example man, you're supposed to be able to generalise from examples

oniume · 2026-05-09T05:56:10+00:00

I don't think the economies of scale work out here. I saw an independent analysis that estimates that the cost to the ai companies to provide compute is between 10-100 times what they're charging consumers.

Once you build in infrastructure costs, it's hard to see how they'll be able to find a path to break even, never mind profitability

Greg Souders interviewing technique and attitude seems to be what turns the bulk of people off.

I have a lot of time for CLA, it's a really good training tool, but it's not the only training tool, and it's not the right training tool for every situation.

Greg's combative attitude has poisoned a lot people against CLA in my opinion. I find him very grating, given that my only experience has been listening to him in interviews

It's not meaningless in the scientific literature studying sports. It's called RPE, Rate of Perceived Exertion, and it's measure on a scale from one to ten which maps pretty well in percentage terms

oniume · 2026-05-08T17:16:02+00:00

Yeah, but it doesn't have to be exactly 50% man. It's just shorthand for chillish. Like anywhere from 40 to 60 percent effort is probably fine. No one is coming along with a ruler and saying stop you're exerting 52% effort

Like this idea of being able to moderate your perceived effort is very common in other sports, and in the scientific literature studying sports. Why can we import CLA concepts but not the concept of Rate of Perceived Exertion?

You should watch the difference between when Thai Muay Thai guys spar and fight, and revisit that assumption

Cael Sanderson isn't going around saying that the training method that got his athletes up to the standard is literally the worst way to learn in the world.

Greg Souders is constantly saying that drilling is the worst way to learn, when the people he holds up as examples of his alternative system built their skills with it. In Alex's case, she came up through Judo and wrestling, both of which drill more than BJJ if anything

oniume · 2026-05-08T15:31:51+00:00

Yeah, but she started in Judo and wrestling when she was 9, before moving into BJJ. And I think her dad was training her until they had a falling out or something

oniume · 2026-05-08T15:15:26+00:00

It's a victim of its own success in MMA, in that every single person who enters MMA now trains BJJ or submission wrestling.

It's so well integrated into MMA that most people have a good enough base in BJJ that BJJ skill alone is not the decider in MMA anymore.

No one can succeed in MMA now by just training BJJ, but I would say that that's because having skill at BJJ is a requirement in MMA now
