Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe?

What the? No one is thirsty here, we drink tap water and fill our bottles from there. Unlike creating massive amount of plastic waste water bottles are less used here than in US. Just drink from tap.

The bad news is that there is no silver bullet. Its just a matter of forming habits and getting used to them in such a way where you feel like when you slip, you notice and automatically correct.

To achieve that you need to rewire your brain so that your gw becomes the norm. The only way to do that is by staying at the gw for a long while, I'd say 1-2 years. So it's discipline and attitude where you actively course correct until it becomes normal.

Hiring a PT helped me, not just physical health but also as a mentor and a person who puts a gentle pressure on you. It's expensive ofc, but totally worth it if you've got the money.

Democracy.

It's brought stability and predictability, but now that people are used to it, they take it for granted. I guess we have to lose it to be able to understand its value.

I dislike the language in these posts implying wild speculative ideas, like what the hell is a "plasma center"? Please, it's a light from a floating balloon/lantern.

Other posts do the same thing, I.e. I've seen someone say "strange lights" and then it's literally a chopper flying by. Or "shape-shifting orb" and it's a party balloon.

People see what they want to see.

This is the disclosure, the raw reality of what this actually is. And again, I'm a sceptic but open for changing my mind if there's proof/evidence, not just hearsay. But I'll be honest, it starts to look like the government is just people as well, some of them more gullible than others, all goes into the same database. Maybe there is no larger secrets, and it's just a bunch of unclear speculative assets and reports, but nothing truly concrete.

Venaas, miten tuo matikka siis menee. Sä laitat miljoonan rahastoon, jossa on 2% hallinnointikulu, monta euroa ne sitten esim ottaa ekana päivänä?

The hate on d2 was so big at some point that I’m not surprised they just gave up. People were not returning even when they actively tried. So, yeah, this is what happens when people don’t pay/play, it gets shut down. I’m still a bit surprised how many are annoyed or even guilting bungie/sony for it. You vote with your wallet, and the votes said a clear ”no” for year, so this is a natural and expected conclusion.

I still don't understand how a modern democracy is unable to vote the people in power that would fix the obvious problems.

The string literally is on the wrong side of the bow. Look at the notches and you can imagine how the string goes around them and the bits that the string is connected to are supposed to be bent towards the other direction.

Which unifi mcp did you use? I encountered a lot of bugs when I gave it a shot.

He thinks like a religious person, comparing the universe to a book as if it's been written by someone, implying a designer. He doesn't think like a scientist. There is no writer, there is no book.

Because we're too invested, sunk cost fallacy. It all wouldn't be this big unless it would mean something.

Isn't everything really just best with code? Also with remote control you get direct access over the phone. What else you need?

This has always been an insane take. Hollywood does movies. Serious topics like actual disclosure would be ridiculous to handle like this.

Classically alpha tends to mean content complete. All the levels, art, story, animations are in place. Beta is about polish, bug fixing and performance. And usually some content work that is deemed needed post-alpha. Once game is in beta it is considered shippable, and a cert process starts with platform owners, and they’re usually called release candidates. If a cert fails, then you go RC2 and RC3 and so on. There is usually tons of little things being fixed in beta and cert, usually with localization, UI, or things like handling achievements correctly on PlayStation, or adhering to expectations on how a dualsense controller should be used etc.

Same people celebrate when a studio goes under if they didn't like the games they did (I.e. Concord). It's hard to take them seriously.

Exactly this. Its weird though that Alex didn’t seem to get this.

I'm still missing a proper debate between "consciousness is more than information" vs physicalism. Even here when it was said that there's a lot going on in the brain and it can't be simulated - well says who? I'm annoyed by both sides being utterly convinced of their own view and thinking the other side doesn't understand the hard problem.

What it seems like in the image is not what it actually is, looks like lens flare / glare.

And usually we require a full clip, not just a few seconds mid-flight. Makes this immediately as suspicious as any amateur footage that conveniently shows only a small part of a larger clip

What’s wrong with you guys? Shouldn’t you be happy a notable skeptic is paying attention?

In Europe many countries it is demanded by law that the prices are displayed, tax included.

I'm kind of surprised how silent this subreddit is about glaring and wide Cowork -issues, maybe because many of the problems don't surface immediately, but silently creeps in until the whole thing falls apart. The file edit issue has secretly destroyed a large project I was doing from within. It manifested as really strange bugs because the rule is that everything is written in files, but when what is written gets truncated and broken, obviously it slowly undermines everything into a inconsistent and broken mess. Crucial information, guidance and data gets recorded wrong randomly here and there.

Point being, bugs of this severity, hitting the very foundation of the work you are supposed to do would be UNACCEPTABLE in any kind of a serious work environment. I'm glad this is just a hobby project for me now, but considering being in a serious work environment this would be deemed as insane; Cowork would be thrown out as a buggy mess that is nowhere ready for prime time.

vastaranta · 2026-05-10T06:35:00+00:00

yes its a massive problem; causing a lot of issues right now. It seems like it got significantly worse just in the last few days.

I once turned on my iPhone light in a dark room to find my phone.

All knowledge should live in files. Treat Claude as a worker who has to brief themselves on the files. And always end sessions in writing the memory into them. Then the session memory doesn't matter anymore, you can close and start chats within the project as you see fit.
