3·2 days agoI blocked NSQ because a bot is a mod. I don’t see anything particularly odd here. It just seems like people asking general random stuff like real people
5·2 days agoNot my point here. BT did not know he would die. Being scared of the potential is not the same as the experience itself.
When a person is injured and in an unstable state they do not seem to be aware that the moment of death has arrived in most cases that I have seen (3).
Not just that really. I have watched 3 people die and none really knew what was happening or when it was coming even when intuitively it would seem like they should. I was apparently lucid for parts of 3 hours that was a total blackness in my memory for years. I have 2 little parts that feel like a very fuzzy dream, but if I had died, I wouldn’t have known anything about the last experiences, pain, or struggle. For a long time I thought that was only due to the massive head injury I had, but thinking of others I have watched die, I see a similar lucid like state without much if any awareness. Sure they were in pain, I certainly was, but there is a disconnect between the sensation of pain in the body from wounds and the trauma that leads to death (IMO). That trauma does not seem to have a tie to conscious experience. It is almost like we are in user space, death in in kernel space, and we can never fully experience kernel space.
I’m in so much pain all the time that even breaking bones does little to phase me any more. I already hurt worse than almost anything anyone can do to me. It yields an interesting perspective on the nuance of death IMO. My intended nuances are often missed on Lemmy.
That seems quite dystopian to me. I’d at least like to know who my assailant is when I am harmed. Is there some reliable channel with accessible information in a democratic social context that is not sketchy? Not that the USA has such when Musk is first citizen of Rome or the real senate is a Koch meeting convened every 6 months.
With some probability but not with certainty. At that age it could be anything.
The post isn’t about knowing in a meaningful or useful sense. In this context it is about the anxiety of the experience in the moments just before it happens.
I used to feel this way all the time. I left all of them for atheism and a strong desire for more self growth. I grew a ton, but I have no friends. That is mostly because I was on a bicycle and in a crash with 2 SUVs 11 years ago and am stuck in involuntary social isolation.
Be cognizant of doing things for people that they would not do for you. Don’t feel guilty for interacting with stupid people on their level. If you are objectively the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room. It is okay to grow, acknowledge this, and act upon it.
At some point some kids learned they could get food and shelter by peddling the dumb shit their dad made up when they were kids.
“Daddy, where is uncle Larry after he touched little Susie?”
He’s burning in hell sweetie.
“… Are we having bacon tonight daddy?”
No sweetie. That’s uncle Larry in hell.
I see your nuance better now. I’m saying that diversity is not a qualifier for total artistic value. I believe it is okay to tell flawed stories as art. I do not believe that all stories should be flawed, they should be an exception not the rule.
This is where we are likely strongly aligned versus any potential for difference. I believe telling better stories is the failure of the entertainment industry. There are plenty of better stories to tell. The real prejudice is happening by the cowardice of choosing misogynistic stories to tell. Really, there is not enough value placed on the big picture abstract overview. People are playing with the trees when they should be managing the forest. Old familiar stories with foundations built in an era of a lack of diversity are ripe to abandon for a new era of better stories.

projectionprojecting a position I neither stated nor hold*spelling
If men in a story are doing all the interesting stuff, the story is the bad choice. Adding oil paints to an existing watercolor does not make art. Paint a beautiful oil painting.
I hate when a story is forced into any agenda. Like making Daneel a woman in Foundation is atrocious because it has other implications across all of Asimov's stories like with Gladia and Jander, the relationship with Elijah and family dynamic, how Solarians perceive Daneel, and the nuance and contrast between Daneel and Dors just to name a few off the top of my head.
These are stupid people making last minute frivolous and agenda based pandering nonsense decisions. It is disingenuously stealing from the richness of the story these films are supposedly depicting. If they can’t tell the story they claim, they should be creating an independent work that stands entirely on its own instead of butchering the original art that should be told with full scope in the long term.
If you want to tell a female lead story, awesome. Pick a good one to start with. God Emperor of Dune is all about super strong women in roles. I mean there is an army of all women that outright rape men in battle. There are all levels of women present in that story. Chapterhouse Dune is another all about female leading roles. Tell the story around Susan Calvin in Asimov’s stories. There are tons of these types of stories. Hacking and butchering a universe or fitting a female lead in by committee agenda is absolutely garbage. Like Star Wars is a story about inevitable authoritarianism and exceptionalism where no one else is relevant. Trying to make that into some diversity flick is absurd. It is ultimately the wrong story from the start. I loved it growing up, but it is what it is and nostalgia is often blind. The story has an underlying ethos that is the foundation of the universe. It is flawed. So what, it can still be entertaining. When that ethos is in conflict, the story stops having any relevant value. Build a new story on a better foundation. Reshaping old stories shows that the entire premise is overly conservative bankers that treat art as investment. Bankers are shitty artists. They are incapable of being bold and trying new and novel things. There is no art in such endeavors. I have no problem with female leads. I take issue with terrible art by committee and bankers.
The amount of info I was able to put into this one image is borderline art IMO.
That is a 3 layer circuit board. If you looked at the full repo you would find how this evolved from low quality phone images into something more with time. I had the whole thing mapped out for connections based on continuity between vias but then was given some xrays and managed to map out every internal connection even though the xrays were not of a fully stripped and blank PCB. I even managed to figure out the way the central layer’s ground plane is routed between the various traces. I made and added the Inkscape vector of the microcontroller with all the pins mapped, every part number for components and it all goes with my unique style of naming and layout in KiCAD schematics. I strongly believe that every connection on a schematic should be fully descriptive without requiring cross referencing. The colors, varied transparency, and subtle ways that I added more and more information the deeper you zoom in is art and the kind of thing that could be implemented directly in something like KiCAD. I did all of the tracing in GIMP layers.
Probably not exactly what you were asking, but I still find it artful 5 years later which is not something I normally say for things I have worked on. It came together in a totally unintended way after I was only looking for the easiest way to add the USB port of the chip to the built in connector which turned out impractical.

Need max AVX instructions. Anything with P/E cores is junk. Only enterprise P cores have the max AVX instructions. When P/E are mixed the advanced AVX is disabled in microcode because the CPU scheduler is unable to determine if a process thread contains an AVX instruction and there is no asymmetrical scheduler that handles this. Prior to early 12k series Intel, the microcode for P enterprise could allegedly run if swapped manually. This was “fused off” to prevent it, probably because Linux could easily be adapted to asymmetrical scheduling but Windows would probably not. The whole reason W11 had to be made was because of the E-cores and the way the scheduler and spin up of idol cores works, at least according to someone on Linux Plumbers for the CPU scheduler ~2020. There are already asymmetric schedulers in Android ARM.
Anyways I think it was on Gamer’s Nexus in the last week or two that Intel was doing some all P core consumer stuff. I’d look at that. According to chips and cheese, the primary CPU bottleneck for tensors is the bus width and clock management of the L2 to L1 cache.
I do alright with my laptop, but haven’t tried R1 stuff yet. The 70B llama2 stuff that I ran was untenable for CPU only with a 12700 with just CPU. It is a little slower than my reading pace when split with a 16 GB GPU, and that was running a 4 bit quantization version.

I pick whichever tends to be more active, or more positive, or more general. I am also aware of how LW is poorly in sync with other instances and so I have been posting to LW more often as I am mostly here for social interaction.
