You underestimate how much noise cars make. I’m 20 meters from my neighbors and I never hear a peep. Meanwhile, I’m a kilometer from the highway and I can hear always hear it at least a little bit (and a lot when the wind is in my direction). So you have to go really low density, like 1 house per square kilometer and 5 kilometers of dirt road before even reaching a regional road, to go quieter than this, but… unsurpisingly, not many people live there.

The 25 miles is a bit much, but if your instrument/sporting gear can fit in a bag, you can carry it on a bike. There’s backpacks for guitars, cellos and tubas and I regularly see kids cycling to their lessons with those. This is a fairly dense town though, so 5km max (20 minutes at child-speeds). Kids also can’t drive cars, so if it’s not happening by bike, it’s not happening at all.

I remember a comic too, but the original story is The Egg by Andy Weir. https://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html

If there is a comic and someone finds it, please link it.

Edit: found a comic by voldult on Webtoons, but that isn’t it. I remember a denser, darker style. Now I’m doubting my memory. Maybe I just read the story and imagined a comic based on the cover art?

This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it’s going to degenerate the output.

What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don’t need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

So when I download only some files from a torrent, it’s likely that I can’t seed all of those files to the next person? I have done partial leeches before and left them seeding under the impression that I could at least seed exactly those files if anyone else wanted them. If that’s impossible (or at least unlikely to work because of chunking), then I might download the whole thing next time (or just leave the swarm).

In 2021, mathematicians Matt Parker and Hannah Fry calculated the circumference of the earth by going up to a point of known altitude and measuring the angle down to the horizon, giving them a very accurate 5500 km, which is 34500 km off (86%).

It might help your comment if you replaced some theys and thems with the actual people you’re referring to. It’s very unclear whether you’re talking about Hamas, the Israel government, the Palestine people living in the Gaza strip, the Israeli people, etc. There’s a lot of different groups involved in this conflict, all with their own history and motives. It’s important to be clear about who is doing what.

I picked ani because I don’t have to sub to every anime community, I can just go to the Local view and get everything I need.

I think instead of having fewer representatives in government, we should make government smaller by having physically smaller representatives. Like children, or gnomes.

They all share a belief in a “natural hierarchy”. Whether that hierarchy emerges from God, the Market, or Pure Ancestors, they’re very similar arguments and they all lead to similar results: An imbalance of power and a group of people (with power) who justify that imbalance with the imbalance itself (I’m better because I have power. I should have power because I’m better.)

Would that fix our carbonmonoxide weakness?

Not even. Every time someone lets AI run wild on a problem, they’re trading all trust I ever had in them for complete garbage that they’re not even personally invested enough in to defend it when I criticize their absolute shit code. Don’t submit it for review if you haven’t reviewed it yourself, Darren.

No no, he was just a little confused, but he meant alethiometer. It’s like a compass but it points to the truth, which is pretty darn useful when trying to find your moral heading.

The most important part of the story (to me) is when his friends come and tell Job that he must be evil to deserve misfortune. Job knows he has been good and faithful and he is strong in that belief, so instead of accepting their backwards reasoning, he goes to ask God for an explanation.

(This actually shows his belief in his own faithfulness is stronger than his belief that God will be good to the faithful and he is justified by the next part.)

After much begging and pleading, God gives him an explanation, but it is “sorry bro, Gods don’t really care about mortal suffering”.

Then after God proved his point, he rewards Job after all, but it’s honestly a cop-out to let the story have some other ending than just “and then Job fucking died”. I think the story is older than the idea of heaven or Job could have had his reward there. Might have gelled better with the New Testament.

For me this was The Phantom Tollbooth, but that’s a 70s film, so muc older. Actually, the year I watched it on midday television after school was closer to 1970 than to the present.

Rich Richard too obvious for you ri**ards?

Bit of context for the power level stuff: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hide-your-power-level

It only became an alt-right thing because it leaked from /a/ to /b/ and to /pol/, but it wasn’t originally alt-right. /w/allpapers always has a “power level” thread running with anime stuff that isn’t immediately obvious to the casual observer.

“The only way out is through” is only true when:

1. The chosen path leads to some desired result
2. There is no other path that leads to the same result
3. There is no other path that leads to a result of similar value
4. Staying without result is not an option

People are very bad at keeping an open mind once they’ve chosen a solution. They tend to stick with it as long as they think they’re still on track. They don’t stop to see what their actual choices are and if they can switch approaches halfway. You don’t have to “tough it out”, even when you’re already knee deep in shit and you’d have to wade back a mile to try a different path.

I thought this was turning into a Latvian joke.

The man drinks the beer. He falls into alcoholism again. His children go hungry. His wife succumbs to tuberculosis. The man drinks to forget, but the beer runs out. Now the man can never forget.
