Used to be an Amazon delivery driver. Cursed with the knowledge of what all those stickers mean on my packages.
Also you’ll start noticing their massive delivery trucks everywhere.

Either they ran out of all those simultaneously or the wife has agreed this is an acceptable solution.


STEM fields are just full of furries, I don’t make the rules.


I think the NFT bubble is more apt.
Nothing you said about black holes really contradicts what they were saying? Even if a star and black hole can have the same gravity, there is still a shell of space that once you pass you cannot ever return. I’m sure Superman could go into a star and come back out, not so much with a black hole.
It likely was the most efficient energy-wise, why waste energy going against the current when it’ll undo itself anyways.
Constrain the design by strict fake rules and you get Monster Hunter.
It’s accessible for new users, easy for old users, but ironically the hardest if you know only just enough to be dangerous.

The official hosting of it has censorship applied after the answer is generated, but from what I heard the locally run version has no censorship even though they could have theoretically trained it to.
Thing I hate about exercise, it’s a fine line between “feel the burn!” and “you’ve done irreparable damage”.
Feels similar to the Plato quote “those who seek power are unworthy of that power”.


Diogenes would just say “prove it”.


If I’m not mistaken, all those other terms were imposed on people not really self described.
I think neurodivergent will survive because people can proud to be neurodivergent. It’s closer to an identity than a prescriptive label.
I for one am proud to be neurodivergent.


If anything modern day santa is more of an invention of Coca-Cola than Christianity or Paganism.


I ask it for help when I’m unfamiliar with a library/language or if I’m getting complex errors.
But I always type out the code myself, making sure I’m reading each line and understanding what’s happening.
Even for boilerplate if you just let the ai go at it, it’ll generate a Frankenstein boilerplate of an outdated standard.
So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?
If you’re talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.
But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.
There might’ve been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany’s economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.
But after the Nazis siezed power there’s nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.
That’s part of it but it’s not that we don’t know how, it’s that google search is ruined now.
Paid advertisements floating to the top, search engine optimization completely ruining any form of categorization, a deluge of spam websites that pump out irrelevant articles full of keywords (ironically now using GPT to make more articles).
If you want to actually get real people talking you have to append “reddit” to the end. But now Reddit is also becoming shitty for search.
Nowadays people realize if all you get from google search is ai and social media, then why not skip the middle man? Hence people using ai and even Tiktok in place of Google.
I personally use Claude to ask for niche questions and it actually gets to the point answering what I’m asking. (I double check using the terms it gives me to read more on Wikipedia and ect.)
I feel like an average person or group of people are of average intelligence.
But huge masses of people? They begin to adopt emergent traits that cancel out individual intelligence. It’s why foot traffic can be modelled as a liquid. Or why the entire field of economics can exist.
This makes large public masses have predictable behavior that’s exploitable by grifters, demagogues, and propaganda.


There are multiple cases where pure chance and human hesitation prevented all out nuclear bombardment in the Cold War.
So for that alone we are extremely lucky.
The yellow sticker usually correspond to what tote they belong in and the order they’re in for the delivery route, first thing you typically do is unpack a tote in the truck and sort them by number for ease of access.
My brain wants to trigger this sorting mode whenever I grab my packages, and it just reminds me of that terrible job.
Amazon has a system of desperate contractor companies that are absolutely reliant on amazon since they own the warehouses, trucks, and everything, but are also a moment away from having their contract ended, basically destroying the company. As a result you’re not really respected even if your employer tries hard to, they just can’t care for employees at risk of dissolving.
