The comparison with the Sydney Metro is silly, they’re extremely different projects. Melbourne’s metro tunnel isn’t a metro, it’s a badly named but very welcome change to make some suburban lines through running.

The fossil fuel industry doesn’t pay enough in taxes for it to be worth it tbh, it’s just making a handful of very rich people even more so…

Uhhh the history of how Labour introduced neoliberal anarchy to Australia and then made it queer???

Is this an allistic thing? I find it uncomfortable when people don’t try to relate like that

None in particular, I want my US friends to be able to escape persecution and be here where they’re safe

My job only exists because it was cheaper to hire several thousand tech workers to replace all the oracle products in house over several years than to keep using Oracle lmao

The anarchist-faq will get you most of the way there, and the K-On manga will fill in the gaps.

It’s always going to be a personal preference kind of thing. Personally I don’t really care much about “passing” and I’m usually completely okay being outwardly trans, unless it’s being used to harass/bully.

I had a weird experience the other day when getting an ultrasound where I told the tech I was obviously on HRT which she immediately denied. I get she was trying to be supportive, but it kinda just made me feel worse because of how awkward it was lol.

I love this stuff, I always put it on my face. It’s just enough to stop feeling like my skin is as dry as paper and it’s not oily, it feels more watery than anything. I switched to it years ago, use it after every shower and now my skin is so nice, presumably just because I’m not leaving my face all dried out, I doubt there’s anything special about this stuff.

That said, I do also use a very gentle sorbolene body wash and hand soap because my skin was too fragile for normal soap. If I don’t, I tend to get lots of sores on my fingers.

A favourite phrase of mine that comes up in so many different areas of life is: “soft on people, hard on structures.” Individuals tend to be pretty good, genuine and caring people.

It’s much like how an atheist might be a great person, but the new atheist movement became a festering cesspool of anti-feminist right wing bigotry. Having a religion doesn’t change much really, shit people are universal.

It’s my HRT birthday today, two years now and it’s really sunny and warm. It’s a nice day :3

I didn’t have an experience like this growing up, my family didn’t realise we were all autistic until I pointed it out earlier this year, and even then they weren’t really accepting of it lol.

Imo support has to include listening to what you want, otherwise it’s just controlling. Regardless of whatever support you have had, you’ve gained skills through your own efforts, no one can just give them to you. You deserve to feel good about that.

Handling family can suck, especially when they treat you like you’ve described, but things get easier when you have space away from them and live your own life. Them pushing you has helped you grow, I had to learn to push myself, which is a skill in its own right but it seems like you’re already doing it. Independence is hard to achieve and I think you’re doing a great job so far, keep it up.

There’s also a considerable portion of the world who hates Greta and is probably cheering them on. The first news story I saw pop up about Greta being kidnapped said Israel was doing the world a favour…

I’m getting replies in my inbox but I can’t view post comments lol, thankyou!

I’m not poor but most of my fun stuff is free, hanging out at parks (picnics with friends or just relaxing with a book or something), walking/cycling trails, free or pay as you feel shows and weekly food not bombs community dinners.

Nothing wrong with a 1 bedroom apartment tbh, and I don’t understand why not living in a house means you can’t buy and own things lol. I’ve got loads of stuff I can do here if I don’t want to go out, I’ve even got plenty of private outdoor space. If I didn’t have so much stuff keeping me busy I could very easily stay in my apartment for weeks at a time, only really leaving to get groceries, I’ve never gone mad from it.

Tbh I find this life is significantly cheaper given I don’t have as much maintenance as a house, and I don’t need to pay the absurdly high costs associated with a car.

Edit: looks like jerboa broke for me so I’ve got no clue if this posted or what anyone else is saying lol

We’re against hierarchy, not organising.

I was going to say this, it’s how I found my local anarcho-federation

I’m pretty sure they touch on those points in the paper, they knew they were overloading it and were looking at how it handled that in particular. My understanding is that they’re testing failure modes to try and probe the inner workings to some degree; they discuss the impact of filling up the context in the abstract, mention it’s designed to stress test and are particularly interested in memory limits, so I’m pretty sure they’ve deliberately chosen to not cater to an LLMs ideal conditions. It’s not really a real world use case of LLMs running a business (even if that’s the framing given initially), nor is it meant as “fair test” to demonstrate capabilities, it’s an experiment meant to break them in a simulated environment. The last line of the abstract kind highlights this, they’re hoping to find flaws to improve the models generally.

Either way, I just meant to point out that they can absolutely just output junk as a failure mode.

LLMs can degrade by giving “wrong” answers, but not because of network congestion ofc.

That paper is fucking hilarious, but the tl;dr is that when asked to manage a vending machine business for an extended period of time, they eventually go completely insane. Some have an existential crisis, some call the whole thing a conspiracy and call the FBI, etc. it’s amazing how trash they are.

I’m glad Kirk is gone, I’ll never not be happy about that, I think it’s objectively good. But I think it’s still important to recognise that it’s very shitty that he did end up a miserable little cunt who was better off dead.

Mostly though, I’m just worried about how celebrating death makes it seem like a virtue we’d want or accept in a new society. Revolution at a necessary cost, don’t get me wrong, but we shouldn’t celebrate the cost itself. I think it’s totally okay to celebrate the end result, “the problem of Charlie Kirk is now solved” or something lol, but the method was both objectively awful and necessary.

Murder is a tool as all violence is, but we should it treat as what it is: a horrible one we’re forced to use to attain liberation and thus ultimately a form of violence inflicted upon us. After a revolution, I think it’s best left behind in this shitty fucking world we all hate.

Regardless, get fucked Kirk, good riddance and rest in piss you slimey little cunt.
