No, that was my point all along, you just refuse to see it. We need more generalized FAFO, we need to never shut up about it. It is not the same as mocking people for their misery, and it’s not done for joy (nor that it actually joyful, beyound the regular schadenfreude). It was very specific and very important purpose. A lot of those people can’t learn unless the example punches them in the face. They can’t feel empathy for other people, so they need to always be reminded that sometimes leopards are eating their faces. Asking them nicely didn’t help, never did.
Unless we make the idea that their misery is directly correlated with their choices, they will all make the same choices again, and they don’t seem to be susceptible to new info when they’re not miserable.

very similarly to human brains

While the model of a unit in neural network is somewhat reminiscent of the very simplified behaviouristic model of a neuron, the idea that NN is similar to a brain is just plain wrong.
And I’m afraid, based on what you wrote, you didn’t understand what this story means and why I told it.

My favourite story about it was that one time when neural network trained on x-rays to recognise tumors I think, was performing amazingly at study, better than any human could.
Later it turned out that the network trained on real life x-rays with confirmed cases, and it was looking for penmarks. Penmarks mean the photo was studied by several doctors, which mean it’s more likely to be the case that needed second opinion, which more often than not means there is a tumour. Which obviously means that if the case wasn’t studied by humans before, the machine performed worse than random chance.
That’s the problem with neural networks, it’s incredibly hard to figure out what exactly is happening under the hood, and you can never be sure about anything.
And I’m not even talking about LLM, those are completely different level of bullshit

You just had to make it difficult, didn’t you

The problem with that, is that if you include everything “small” in the definition, the word loses all it’s meaning, feeble as it is already.
The word microplastic was introduced to describe not just any small piece of trash, but specifically that very small, invisible, pieces of plastics that are, as it turned out, everywhere, in the air, in the water, in our food, in our blood, even in space. If you add just small pieces of rubbish to it, we remove all the sense from the word, and will need another one.

If you think in this categories, then it doesn’t matter, the cause is already lost. If it’s “The Left vs Texans” then yeah, nothing will help.
But, next time some disconnected idiot from Texas asks “why should I vote Democrats” you can point them out all the cases when not doing so hurt them specifically. This is what you called reveling in their demise.

But isn’t it just sweeping the root cause under the rug until the next inevitable disaster? If you don’t remind them that it’s their doing, they will definitely ignore it and do the same thing again, with the same tragic results. I don’t know if reminding helps really, but keeping silence about it definitely doesn’t.
When a child hurts itself, you need to establish cause and effect relationship in their head, otherwise they will hurt themselves again

The response kind of does however

You don’t even need that, they’re perfectly capable of fucking up on their own.

That’s where your line is. Mine is way further away, past nazis, past wipes with photos of dead people, past unlimited autogenerated ads for cryptoscams.
We both have a line, we both have internet to be community moderated to our ideal. You’re not a champion of free speech just because your ideal community includes wipes with nazi shit.

D-pad for me, functionally, is a 4 directional buttons clustered together, oriented along the X-Y axis. To conserve parts, it’s quite often made not as 4 buttons but as a combined shifter, because you realistically wouldn’t be pressing the opposite buttons at the same time.
The left track area on the steam controller is that. The buttons are fuzed together (which is normal for D-pad) and big and harder to tell apart (which is less normal)

Pretty accurate

It’s not what microplasitcs are! Does anyone knows what micro is at this point?

The fuck it isn’t

Now that you reintroduced moderators, your totally unmoderated utopia of frozen peaches looks more and more like “moderators should only remove what I want them to remove and leave what I want them to leave”

The main flaw in the constitution, as it turns out, is that’s it’s a piece of paper, and means shit without all people agreeing to do what it says.

A nice one, and not too expensive.

Is it a fallacy if every galoomba is saying the same exact shit.

not everybody has those opportunities

Everyone has a bunch of opportunities between doing nothing and “here I go killing again”. Everyone. But (and yeah, I’m engaging in generalisations, but you’re not beating the allegations so to speak) “you Americans” always put “I need to start shooting people” waaaay up high on the hierarchy or possibilities.
