I’ve just recently started on meds and now not eating is a significantly more common problem, worst of all the shakes are gone too so I keep going all day on nothing.

It would be easier and faster to just train it on the stuff you want it to output. There are hundreds of billions of weights in models like gpt, and no one really knows what any individual one does.

Trans inclusive radical misogyny

Personally I don’t, I can see someone not hating that kind of humour as much as me thinking it’s funny, in which case I guess it would be.

Similar experience from my mum at first, but I guess after talking to me and my brother while we both go for assessments she finally accepted she most likely has ADHD too lol

But yeah, she’s a nurse who doesn’t think I should take medicine to make my life easier, just cause.

Oooh so that’s what inattentive is. I’m getting assessed in a week or so and for the pre-session questionnaire I was wondering what it meant if I didn’t have any of the “driven by a motor” symptoms.

I got called lazy and sensitive all the time too.

Yeah, at this point the discussion starts getting to the edge of my knowledge, I don’t think killing is good in either case. I don’t think it’s a way to repair hurt and I can’t imagine it helping me, I’d much prefer imprisonment (though there are more radical approaches I’d massively prefer over that).The Leftist Cooks video I linked talks about approaches that are far better than I’m capable of describing in a Lemmy comment (I tried and failed lol). In it they discuss what it’s like to be a victim of SA and how one reconciles that experience with being a prison abolitionist. tl;dr being a victim isn’t really a contradiction and there are better ways to heal that aren’t revenge based.

As for a deterrent, for one that doesn’t seem to work. This is one of the only reasons that supporters of the death penalty can give (other than a desire to inflict pain) and it’s generally shown to be very ineffective. This is one of the things I alluded to in a previous comment when I said I didn’t need to explain why the death penalty is bad. The other is that you can just get it wrong and kill people you shouldn’t, I’m more interested in moving beyond violence as a tool for suppressing further violence. We are capable of being better, I see it quite often in the radical groups I work with.

I think valid practical reasons would be things like bringing an end to harm, for example had Trump actually been assassinated, I might not have to be so damn worried about all the trans people in the states. Killing Netanyahu or Putin might save a lot of lives, though in all these cases there are a lot of people who would carry on that work, and they may even decide to inflict greater suffering as a response.

There’s an interesting edge case where the killing of Shinzo Abe was driven by revenge, but ultimately put such a spotlight on an issue that it caused the government to take action. I honestly don’t know how to feel about it, it wouldn’t be possible to predict the result so I can’t see it being justified beforehand, but at least it lead to something good in the end.

To be quite frank, I want to build a better world, and I don’t want killing to ever be a part of it. It might take a lot of death to build that world, but we should move beyond it. I don’t feel like people can be deserving of suffering, however they can and should be made to repair what suffering they’ve caused where at all possible, and prevented from causing more. It’s these points that I’m referring to when I say I’m an idealist.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely an idealist and I acknowledge that.

Let me be clear, I specifically think we shouldn’t immediately jump to killing as the first choice. If killing an evil person is going to lead to actual good outcomes, and is seemingly the best/most viable option, I’m not necessarily against it even if I don’t care for it. Violence is a tool we can use, but I prefer to limit it where possible.

Reform would be great if possible, it likely may not be. I think taking away the ability to do harm is probably the best place to start, imprisonment is certainly an option there but it’s not the only one (and doesn’t need to look like the current prison systems we have). If killing leads to a good outcome, and it’s not possible to do anything less (for example we don’t have the power to just round up all the billionaires and corrupt politicians to do these things), then it’s justifiable.

Once approaching justice after the harm has been stopped, one also needs to consider how victims feel and what they’re going to need to try and reduce the impact of the harm they’ve suffered. I’m no expert on any of this and I don’t pretend to be, but I know there are better ways than the current judicial systems. In all honesty I think it’s a case by case kind of thing. The Leftist Cooks have a great video about it that I more or less vibe with. (It is quite long though)

My main concern with this whole affair, is that it hasn’t changed any power structures, people will still be exploited. I want to see structural change, not just blind revenge.

As you slightly edited your question, I’ll just address that specifically. In stopping evil, I think it’s important that we don’t become evil. Killing purely for revenge is something I consider an evil act, that said I’m not one to judge for it, I think it’s extremely understandable. I’m as human as anyone else and I’ve certainly had my fair share of revenge fantasies.

There’s probably also a whole conversation we could have around the fact that killing can ruin someone’s life just in terms of the mental impact, and plenty of other similar arguments.

I am vegan, and that’s exactly the reason why.

I think it’s quite simply the case that we should make the choice to try and make life as uncruel as possible. It’s not really about the sanctity of life, I don’t believe in that. I just think we can literally choose to be better, so why shouldn’t we? That’s what I believe and I understand that many people won’t agree with me.

Also hey, I’m just having a discussion here, we’re all friends. There’s no need to be mean and say I’m talking gibberish.

It is in some cases justifiable, but I don’t think it’s necessarily the only option in the majority of cases where people might jump to it if given the chance.

I don’t really agree we’ve been trained to respond that way, when I quite often see the exact opposite. Killing is a fast and easy solution that many people are quick to advocate for. I’m quite steadfast in my belief that being able to look beyond killing is one of the few privileges our intelligence gives us, to be better than the cruelty of nature.

I don’t agree that breaking the social contract means death is appropriate, justifiable or even necessarily to be celebrated, but it does mean we can seek to undo that injustice and reduce the harm by other forceful methods. Acting in vengeance is not justifiable.

Let me clarify my view on this whole thing: Someone has died and I’m sad about that as an objective fact. I don’t expect this death will lead to anything good, it doesn’t remove the exploitative structure and so won’t lead to any better outcomes for any of the exploited. The only relatively tiny positive is that now that one specific person can’t profit from that exploitation, but now someone else will take that place instead. Nothing worthwhile has come of this.

I don’t want him prosecuted, but not because I think killing people is good or forgivable (though it couldn’t really happen to a better person) but because the criminal justice system is awful, especially in the US.

If the death penalty is on the table, then I don’t think I need to explain why that’s bad, but I fundamentally disagree with imprisonment. I’m no expert, but there are better ways to handle harm and justice, and I feel the current system is unjustifiably evil in it’s treatment of convicts.

I should probably point out that I’m not making a judgement about what he’s done. More that depending on the context and why he’s done this, there will need to be a different more nuanced response than the judicial system is capable of.

Oh that’s so cool, thankyou for sharing!

That’s pretty fair. I’m not expecting the cable to literally last forever but the longer it lasts then the less waste I can produce. Recycling is awesome but I honestly don’t have much faith in it, so trying to reduce what I send there too.

I’m considering getting into making my own cables tbh, maybe I’ll be able to work out how to make them durable as hell and share the designs with people who struggle with this too. That said I know IEM cables tend to be pretty heavily shielded and that seems like more trouble than its worth, but who knows.

Im considering making an Armband or just adding a pocket to my pants that sits in a better spot, kinda like a thigh band I guess.

I’ve used wireless buds for the past ~4 years and I’ve had to rma so many of them that I’ve given up, I’ve rma’d my last pair and gave them to a friend. I’m also not keen on the environmental impact, so really trying to avoid them if possible.

Great to know, thanks! Chu II definitely have a removable cable from the images I’ve seen.

I have bone conduction for riding when needed, not every situation requires them.

It’s not a non-issue because I don’t want the cables to become a consumable, I want a tough cable I can rely on for as long as physically possible. My main interest in BIFL is to reduce my waste tbh.

I’ve been keeping an eye on sony buds recently, my stores only have 3.5mm ones which I could go with. My only problem using the 3.5s in the past has been that my USB DAC broke instead, usually for exactly the same reason the earbud cable normally breaks 😑

🙏

Oh yeah, fair point! I did used to use the angled ones when I was in highschool.

My desktop cans have a nice chunky 1/4" plug and it’s fantastic.

The most durable Bluetooth “earbuds” I’ve had so far are my bone conduction ones, but they’re not great quality and don’t offer any isolation. 10/10 for background music when hanging with people though.

Yeah, I’ve got a couple of pairs of cans I love and use around the house and when walking.

Believe me I really tried to get a phone with a 3.5mm, but I had a few other requirements and losing that was the extremely painful tradeoff, I hate the direction modern smartphones have gone.

Even with a 3.5mm I’ll still have the issue of the cable breaking so it doesn’t solve much for me.

I’ve been looking at moondrop for a while and I’m probably going to end up getting something from them. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn’t seen anyone discussing the CHUs!
