This is like a tour of logical fallacies. How about some data?

Don’t bully people for smoking a plant. Easy.

Let it go.

I as a customer an hour ago had a long conversation with a friend I made behind the counter.

Some software engineers do partake of the weed. So yeah I’ve met them.

Tattoos, piercings? They’re just people.

Getting high isn’t a sign of larceny

> you can imagine who works at them

This is disgracefully elitist. White collar crime hurts more people.

are you really going on a downvote revenge spree? lol

If everyone buys votes using one issue or another, using cannabis to buy votes should be the least concern of anyone.

While you can make some amount of case that the timing makes it a manipulation, is this really the manipulation that bothers you?

I would rather there be no manipulations. But in a country that divides itself on infantile identity politics, fight fire with fire.

It is not a fair game. You can’t demand perfect intentions around this issue when politics is full of much worse actors.

I think LLMs are already influencing the development of somethin between natural language and a formal language.

Prompt engineering and getting structured data in and out of an LLM naturally lead you to something like precise English with JSON and pseudocode syntax sprinkled in

Ah, I agree. It is a good move with a side of bullshit.

I don't dispute your points but to have an honest comparison you do need to consider the amount of harm negated during the time of incarceration.

Some people get stuck in shitty life situations and resort to crime. Some people are legitimately bad and enjoy harming people.

Well I mean: doing things that people want them to do to get elected. Not the worst problem?

maybe: embedding vector contains coordinates, vectors are really good at coordinates

oh sorry

all cops are good

all cars are good

i apologize

What problem? Holding onto a device for its lifetime?

what’s wrong with trading or selling?

cars led to the creation of CHP and the expansion of US police authority, then that spread even more afar.

People should not be allowed to drive unsupervised. I am anti surveillance and anti cop. There is no safe world with unsupervised driving. And so we as a society traded some of our rights, acknowledging this new dangerous tool but choosing its convenience even though this led to whole new police departments, policies, etc.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and even drivers know that the way people drive is a serious problem.

I don’t want the cameras either, but to get rid of those you have to get rid of cars.

look up “broken windows policing”

> I wonder if there is a benefit to sticking with our intuition even if we are wrong in the moment

I don’t bother optimizing small costs out of my life

- I don’t believe religion is true

- I do believe it has nonliteral truths that can be revealed with a lifetime of wisdom

- I don’t believe religious texts and structures actually lead people to those positive bits

- I do believe religion carries a lot of negative ideas too. It’s just a random sociological bag of ideas with both good and bad in it.

So yeah not really worth studying. Like just go to therapy. It’s better.

nerds have the best arguments

Perhaps the irreconcilibility of 3 weird mathematical theories is a sign that the universe isn’t mathematical?

but what would be the alternative?

There’s always a chance it’ll put out something better than your greatest work.

Humble yourself to chaos, evilduck

The best way to make people get along is to tell them what's acceptable for them to talk about with each other.

I live in one of the best cities in the US. Like it's definitely a City with a capital C, dig?

$600k gets you something great. Is there a hidden assumption of having 8 kids here, lol?

I can see uses for joining vector queries. Give me all the people who are attracted to people like this one. Boom, embedded.

what’s weird is just how long it took to find a statistic like this one
