By that logic it was capitalism that also made Half Life since HL2 etc.. wouldn't be possible without capitalism which funded development.

Perhaps too many suits got into high positions at Valve?

I am curious why Valve didn't splinter itself into Steam and game-dev groups?

Why is this downvoted? One can find cases where this was cleary the case on the internet. I remember one case where just the artificial coloring in some medicine pill was the issue.

Some people have improved MS on a carnivore diet. Perhaps keto would also do.

This is the equivalent of socialism and communism: everyone equally poor.

Are they really? People say one thing and then the totaly opposite thing all the time.

>> Gamer Attitudes to NPCs, conducted by Inworld AI, a developer platform for advanced NPC behaviour and dialogue. The report surveyed over 1,000 gamers in the US aged 16-50.

An AI company that does NPC dialoges did this study, so there you go lol.

Many ancient cultures had no flouride and had perfect teeth.

It's the diet, flouride is a bandaid.

Read Weston Price's Nutrition and physical degeneration.

If you read Weston Price's Nutrition and Physical Degeneration you will see that many tribes have PERFECT teeth without even flossing.

Tooth decay is purely caused by diet.

Certain grains also cause it, not only sugar.

Rice for example is very bad for teeth (90% of people damaged teeth, acidic starch is what they assume), while potatoes are much less harmful (~10% if I remember correctly, since potato starch is alkaline).

Sodas (anything with low ph) is terrible for the teeths as it seems.

So it's also not "just carbs", but there are other factors.

So "painting teeth" with dubious chemicals is moronic since the problem is the food. If the food destroys your teeth so much, think what it does on the inside of you which you cannot see.

Eg check out this study: TOOTH DECAY IN RELATION TO DIET AND GENERAL HEALTH NILS P. LARSEN, M.D

Factories filter for a lot things.

These people are on purpose releasing things that can modify the atmosphere in the most extreme/powerful way possible.

That can backfire horribly.

>> ...where the “friction” of in-person interaction is eliminated. That friction is the stuff of social connection — a world without it is nightmarish.

If one orders food one usually doesn't want to waste time talking to a waiter or the delivery guy: he has friends or an activity he wishes to return to quickly. Why waste time with the delivery guy?

>> they were tech workers who spent so much time working that they felt they had little time for anything else.

What wrong with that? It's these obsessive people that end up moving mountains.

>> Instead of cutting back and finding a healthier work-life balance

Be a consumer, wageslave! Stop trying to make something out of yourself!

>> 8. Losing fat and gaining muscle can both be done, just not together.

>> You see, it’s basically impossible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. To lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. You need to have a net calorie deficit.

>> To build muscle, you need to eat more calories than you burn. You need to have a net calorie surplus.

Not true, can be done, you can find examples on the internet.

There is no need for a caloric surplus to build muscles. Muscles are build from amino acids, not "calories". The body "eats up" muscles LAST: it will go through your fat first.

And if you are fat then you have "excess calories" in your fat: where do you think those go? Evaporate in thin air?

Eg look up Bryan Johnson: he built a lot of muscle while consuming 2k calories, which is 25% deficit for a guy of his height and weight and he still build muscles.

Looking at muscle gain as "calorie surplus" is ridiculus. Look up frutarians: they eat shitload calories from fruits but are totaly skinny, no muscle mass at all.

Muscles are built by having high testosterone. If you have low T it won't matter how much protein or "calories" you eat: you just won't built muscle easily.

Cancer cells have messed up mitochondria. Transplanting "cancerous" nuclues from one cell to healthy cell did NOT produce cancer.

But transplanting cancerous cytoplasm (fluid around the cell nucleus that contains mitochondria) DID cause cancer in the healthy cell.

Neurons in neurodegenerative diseases also have messed up mitochondria.

>> 79 percent of millennial eat meat alternatives

Eat or "tried once and never again?

>> 30 percent consume meat alternatives every day

Hard to believe, if so, this is localized to a very small region/demographic.

Remember that stocks for fake meat companies are falling.

It's ironic that this is get downvoted since the question is 100% valid.

People think you can just dump some vitamins and minerals in the food that "that will make it healthy".

No need to exercise at all. It's all about diet. This is something that pretty much everyone agrees on.

Exercise can help weight loss, but if your diet is bad even exercise won't work.

Remove all processed foods, at least all white sugar and refined oils.

Eat only food that physicaly existed 200 years ago (minus sugar that rich people could afford in large quantities only). Removing white sugar and white flour and processed oils and all processed sweets is the safest best.

TLDR: eat whole foods.

Because it's an regurgitation algorithm which is capable of multiple levels of abstractions.

It understands nothing. It cannot do reasoning.

It's possible it might develop a reasoning "part" if the parameters and training are specified in a certain way, but even then it will be up to chance if it develops a sub-part of it's abstraction mechanism that will actually be able to do pure logic without just guessing smartly what should come next.

How long until I won't be able to run my CPU at max power unless I pay an extra carbon tax?

People doing this cloud seeding should be forced, alongside with their children, to live in these areas.

True.

Then I would counter with:

We traveled 1/2 of the way, so we still have 1/2 to travel.

Since we travel at constant speed the 2nd half of the entire way cannot take longer to travel than the 1st half of the entire way.

So each subdivision can NOT ADD more time than the previous 1/2 interval.

So we have an upper bound on time, since time can never be larger.

So while we do have an infinite amount of time intervals, the sum will never grow, it's upwards limited.

But since each "parent interval" is upwards limited, it's irrelevant to how many "child" intervals you subdivide it as the parent time interval is always upwards limited.

So no matter how many times you subdivide, the TOTAL TIME never grows, thus time is not infinite.

A much more intuitive explanation is this:

We are concerned really with how long it takes to travel this distance. We also know, from real life, that it is, in fact, possible to travel it.

So Zeno is telling us "where am I wrong, show me", this is what a "paradox it".

Assume that we are running at a constant velocity for the entire distance.

As the distance shortens so does the TIME needed to travel it.

As the distance becomes infintessimaly small so does the TIME NEEDED TO TRAVEL IT.

So when you reach "the limit" you travel "through it" in an "instant".

So your velocity doesn't change as the time decreases alongside the distance traveled.

So the point is "don't look at the distance only", since in order to TRAVEL a given distance, one needs to MOVE, and movement implies TIME, which means VELOCITY comes into play.

So while there are many of those smaller 1/2's, you travel through them faster and faster.

You cannot mimic an entire organism with a bunch of isolated cells.

Geniune question: would writing assembly today be practical at all?

You could make the argument that eg space software or nuclear etc... would be a candidate.

But since assembly is so difficult to read this alone could introduce many bugs as soon as you'd eg have to maintain ~3 months old code since you will forget the details by then even if you are the one who wrote so you'd lose the "context" since in assembly it's much easier to lose the "context" of the task due to its less-intuitive nature than a high level programming language.

Since even space etc... software today I assume is way too large to write in assembly? Or am I wrong? Eg how large is the main "thruster" code for SpaceX? But all of that has to interface with many sensors, redundancies, backups, telemetry...

If a kid already dislikes or is apathic to something (eg being forced to learn an instrument) then being forced into it by the parents will make him hate it for life.

Even if you force math on people that won't mean it will be of any use.

You cannot just force math and programming onto someone and expect them to become even an avarage level programmer/scientist.

And the way AI is exploding right now these low level code monkey jobs (frontend web design) is already halfway code-less, so even these positions won't be available to them.

It's censorhip via the threat of job loss.

>> But 3D won't be free like 2D art, because the computational power to create high-quality 3D models dwarfs the computational power required for 2D. So it is safe to say 3D artists will not be 'deprecated' (rip 2D artists), for many decades.

"For many decades" lol, it's gonna happen within this year. There is already massive progress on this front.

>> Due to varying protocols and challenges in the attribution of the cause of death, the number of confirmed deaths may not accurately represent the true number of deaths caused by COVID-19.

How can this then be "confirmed deaths" if they themselves state it's not possible to accurately determine them.

Drink min 2L water (as much as you physical can) before going to bed prevents me from getting it at all the next day.

But once you have it: no idea.

>> Alcohol causes expansion of the blood vessels, and this can cause a headache

I was always able to completely prevent a hangover the next by drinking shitload of water before I went to bed (~2L minimum, as much as I could physical hold down). It seems to be more of an dehydration-related issue.

Works like a charm. Though I never get really "shitfaced to the max", so I don't know about that.

People are starting to realize that "work and career will bring you fulfillment" is a lie.

This is simply a reaction to understanding that truth.

This. Monocrops/monocultures like many are pushing are the most cancerous things for the soil.

Plants must be rotated and the soil must be given time to rest and regenerate.
