it’s different to our ability because we actually know what words are, we know they refer to things.
All an LLM sees is tokens, it has absolutely no concept of what langauge actually is or what things mean, it’s literally just “this number seems to occur after these numbers”.
modern shoes in general absolutely suck, i’ve got a pair of wildling boots which are effectively thick wool socks with rubber outsoles and i just can’t go back now, it’s so much more comfortable.
not to mention that the shoes are so flexible that i can roll them up and stuff them in a bag if needed.
that’s by biking is superior, cyclists greet each other with a smile because we’re glad to finally see another person on the road who isn’t liable to murder us with their vehicle
i can’t imagine any nation isn’t significantly consumerist at this point, even people in bumfuck nowhere live pretty modern lives even if they don’t have electricity.
it’s ironic because arguably society “causes” autism, if society wasn’t so fucked then things like autism and ADHD would just be quirks to take into account.
“oh yeah mary doesn’t like speaking to strangers so we tend to hang out together so it’s easier for her”
thing is though, eating well and exercising shouldn’t really be a big deal, and people who make it such are kinda actively killing people…
it basically just boils down to glancing at nutrition labels for things you eat and if you notice it says 5 billion calories per 100g then maybe reconsider eating it, and not driving everywhere.
idk, i went from chugging coca cola and eating fast food almost every day, to only drinking sugar free soda with meals and most food being home cooked, and it honestly wasn’t that big of a change. Same thing goes for getting more exercise, most people can absolutely ditch the car most of the time and instead ride a bike.
I think it largely boils down to knowledge, people have completely wacky views on what is healthy and not, they never learned to cook for themselves, they don’t understand that a diet change has to be sustainable (crash diets don’t work and make you feel terrible), and they haven’t learned how to change habits like what you eat.
The upshot of it being a lack of knowledge is that we can just… inform people about it.
If home ed. and PE classes were improved kids wouldn’t grow up to view exercise as some miserable thing, they’d know how to cook tasty yet easy meals and thus have less reason to turn to junk food, and if we had information campaigns about the fact that electric bicycles exist we could get tons of people out of cars and onto bikes where they get some actual exercise and fresh air.
the whole damn point is that teenagers can’t just choose to go to sleep earlier, all that would result in is them laying wide awake in bed and missing out on time to socialize.
is this an americabrained comment? here in sweden, and this is not some urbanist paradise, kids can absolutely get to school on their own, whether that be walking biking or taking public transport.
it’s in fact bog standard for kids to take the bus to school in my town, to the point that you really want to avoid their travel times because buses will be jam packed with annoying children.
a funny thing i’ve realized is that a big part of the reason for the calm atmosphere is that cars are slowed down and their incessant noise is absorbed by the snow.
Winter is great because it makes urban areas more less hostile.
this isn’t an inherent winter problem, but something we have to design our environments to encourage.
it’s perfectly normal to go on a winter walk just because it’s enjoyable here, and i highly doubt people would be choosing to walk as much as they are if they didn’t find that to be the most enjoyable option, considering that we have good public transport in the town.
Pro tip: study how people of the past dressed. I’ve settled on tight-fitting wool underclothes, a fluffy mid-layer, and a simple ruana cloak ontop. This seems to keep me comfortable at least between 0°C and like -7°C
lol have you tried not buying designer clothing? i literally just wear a department store wool base layer, a fluffy jacket, and a cloak made by cutting a recangle of some random fabric i bought at a crafts store, and it’s great.
if you can accept looking a bit medieval then it only has to cost like 50 bucks for the whole getup.
well my experience is that it works just as well, and is much more convenient.
just dip stuff in egg and panko then toss it into the air fryer, yeah sure whatever it’s not technically frying but it tastes good so i don’t give a shit.
sure it’s a lack of self control, if i had better self control i could force myself to go to bed at 21:00 and lie there for 2 hours until i fall asleep out of tortured boredom, and then i could force myself out of bed at 07:00 despite my limbs feeling like lead and every movement bringing me abject misery and pain!
frankly i feel that most social species should be able to create a pidgin even if they have basically nothing else in common.
like… if we can communicate basic things with bears and deer, i think the idea that we somehow wouldn’t be able to communicate at all with aliens is a bit wack
what i’ve learned is that any piece of architecture should have like at least a 10x margin of error, you want it to tolerate astronomical degrees of fucking up.
can confirm, i sleep on a bunch of blankets and it’s great aside from needing a few more to fully insulate from the cold floor.
the idea of having a bed permanently take up space in a room has become utterly absurd to me after i realized i can just sleep on some blankets and roll them up during the day.
