And is was interesting when he went trough a paper on light calculations when rendering object and new physics calculation on fluids. The bulk of his content now seems to be “LOOK AT THIS STABLE DIFFUSION!” With “CHATGPT! Look at the AI do stuff!”

I stopped watching because it turned into the AI channel and doesn’t actually talk about papers.

I think Vsauce is a lot more grifty than he looks. If you look at the really early videos they were very different and he changed his content wildly in order to find something that makes the most money with the least work. The science education happened to be profitable but as the Meta started favouring more than 10+ min and science vids became mini documentaries he just dropped off and started reviewing science toys and do compilation videos. Right now he is doing a lot of shorts because they are being pushed by the algorithm.

Definitely not how that works. All companies are taxed and they don’t get any special representation outside lobbying that they were going to do either way and churches do in fact put a lot of the money they should have payed in taxes into lobbying.

I never thought of him being immune to Sauron as him being powerful. He is just like the the hobbits but to its fullest. Bombadil is perfectly content with his own existence and there is nothing for the ring to tempt him with.

Natural resources it the prime example. I think all natural resources should exclusively be under democratic control and all profits from the sale of naturals resources goes exclusively to the government. Developed land like private housing gets complicated fast but ideally things should work like things work now but the government fulfills the functions of a landlord.

Nobody should be allowed to own land. You can build a building and that building is yours because you built it but you can’t make land and the only reason you own it is because someone in the past used violence to take it.

I think the gist of it is that it alters the heart rhythm rather than starting and stopping it.

By a vast margin. Replies are apparently unusable as a thing for communication because if you have a checkmark the algorithm ignores any other consideration.

It feels like s legal liability to start a instance and not police it. People could upload CP and you would be on the hook because you are the server owner and clearly did nothing to stop it.

Yeah, that is why it’s such a big deal when a big instance defederate from another. If there was a large number of small instances nobody would care.

I think account migration needs to be the next big feature to prevent people from bunching up in big instances. Everyone is new when they start and the biggest one will always be the simplest to find.

It is also a useless description for the visually impaired. It doesn’t mention that they are in an elevator, what color the gas can is it any other useful information about the picture.

It’s just someone being a smug asshole. Why else would they waste text to describe something that is shown in the picture.

Did the rest of the family not believe she said the things she said or were they fine with it? Calling someone a filthy towel head is pretty unambiguously racist and not in the old timey grandparent way either.

Did the family not believe she said those things or were they fine with it?

Lots of added sugar, highly recommend.

If you look at his history, he thinks that talking about companies in any context should count as advertisement for that company. He is either stupid or has some personal grievance he can’t talk about because it makes him look petty.

What is and isn’t an ad is a complicated. Any post talking about something that costs money could be an ad but it could also be a consumer information post. I have some tolerance for mods trying to find a balance and correct wording based on how things shake out.

Rules against insults and harassment is super straight forward and any community that gets the line wrong will quickly be filled with the worst people and the fun people will go to other communities where they got it right.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulla_(seal) Some sourcery for you.

I am not an expert on this and it’s just my understanding from general history things.

I think wax seals were a big part of it. If you have a ring you can make a bunch of wax seals but it’s really hard to make a copy of the ring from a wax seal. Give each general a document with the royal seal on it and the next time they get an order with the royal seal you can compare it with the seal you already have. If you use the wax seal to close the letter so that you need to break the wax to open the letter you can be fairly certain that the one with the ring that wrote it and that nobody else has opened it.

I also think chains of commands is important. King gives letter to messenger Steve. Steve then gives it to Dave and Dave knows who Steve is so he trust the message. Dave then gives it to Rodney and Rodney gives it to a Lord. Each person knows who the person they are getting a message from is so the chain is trusted. Should Ivan kill Dave and try to give a fake message to Rodney they Rodney would just go “where the fuck is dave” and not deliver the message.
