petermcneeley··on When Your Father Is a Magician, What Do You Believe?
My father took magic very seriously and went way beyond simple slight of hand that this article suggests. He could make coins disappear without a trace. Our mother was often astonished when she found all the money in the house and bank had vanished. One day he wanted to show us a disappearance trick with a cigarettes carton. He didn't have one so he went to the corner to pick one up. He hasn't been seen since. A true magician never reveals his trick.

It would be interesting to see a perf comparision. WebGPU does not have a 64 bit type but it could be emulated with a Vec2u load/store.

Jokes aside yes people work very hard on things, even for years, if they believe in them. From dawn to dusk; of their own free will.

Work being bad is simply a slave mentality. It is because the slave does not get any return on their effort; only sustenance.

> When you get hot and tired, you'll stop

No? This is basically the philosophy of the "last man"

Many great things require overcoming the weakness of the flesh. From the moment you understand the weakness of your flesh it should disgust you.

If I spend my Saturday in the summer sun planting trees all day in my yard I feel liberated.

If I spend my Saturday toiling for wages digging with my hands, sweating for hours, just please some land owner I feel exploited.

It is not the work or the hours that is the core problem.

petermcneeley··on MAID in Canada
I think people should be allowed to exit when they wish.

I just dont know if they government should be involved with this to the point of counseling people to kill themselves. It leads to all sorts of perverse incentives.

You lost the thread but to me they are all connected. Some see things others simply dont. Free your mind.
petermcneeley··on MAID in Canada
This is completely dismissive. People are choosing to kill themselves and the government is helping them do it. The question is why?

"We should use a different measure for how to improve healthcare, and not falsely correlate MAID as a failure metric." No this is actually a perfectly legitimate question. Are people choosing to kill themselves due to a lack of available healthcare?

Is the government using assisted suicide as a mechanism to relive a overburdened medical system? Legit questions. Dont dismiss them.
