for speedtest, fast.com is pretty great as it's a pretty lightweight page and uses netflix's servers which mean it's not really possible for ISPs to game it

Libertarian โ‰  capitalist... It's just a diet version of anarchism at its core which hustlers are trying to rebrand as being purely pro-business.

There's even Libertarian Socialism

The issue for RPGs is that they have such "small" context windows, and a big point of RPGs is that anything could be important, investigated, or just come up later

Although, similar to how deepseek uses two stages ("how would you solve this problem", then "solve this problem following this train of thought"), you could have an input of recent conversations and a private/unseen "notebook" which is modified/appended to based on recent events, but that would need a whole new model to be done properly which likely wouldn't be profitable short term, although I imagine the same infrastructure could be used for any LLM usage where fine details over a long period are more important than specific wording, including factual things

They didn't want France getting wind of their cheese and declaring war on Norway for having the audacity to have non-french cheese

Or just bring an empty bottle through and fill it up at the tap/water fountain?

Hey, you don't even need to be a part of [Input Empire Here], you can just be a Hitler megafan and change your time zone to impress Senpai (ahem, Spain)

It's normal for most afaik but that's because manufacturers make a trimmed down phone to go on your wrist which means you have to charge it daily, without realising it's on your wrist so it doesn't need to be super slim with huge cuts to battery size to go in your pocket.

My garmin has an always on display, heart rate, steps, blood oxygen, thermometer, barometer and whatever else and yet still manages a 4 week battery life, 3 weeks with normal use (1h gps per day, using the touchscreen and higher brightness) or even around 50-60h of GPS/more frequent heart rate/active maps activity tracking

It's on 7% now and is giving me an estimated battery life of >2 days, which just shows how abysmal many smart watch battery lives are

I'm saying I have no sympathy for Palestinians who can't sympathise with other people who were forced from their homes, or Israelis who can't do the same. They are free to dislike the IDF, but using them as an excuse to hate Jews and/or Israelis is no better than the people who hate all Palestinians and/or Arabs masking or justifying it with their hatred of Hamas.

Except that's only how it works mathematically, not in practice due to human nature. Perceived value of money would be something really interesting to study as there's just so many variables of which wealth is one, but I'm not even sure it's the most important when compared to upbringinging, source of money (do you work for it, even if you're overpaid, vs winning the lottery/being a parasite like selling mineral rights or buying properties and getting a management company you're not involved in to rent them out etc.) and others

I mean that sounds like they tried it with promising results but made avoidable mistakes.

If we really wanted to do it, with almost 80 million "top 1%" people in whatever category you want to optimise it's hard to say that the genepool isn't big enough, and also hard to argue against the fact that eugenics would work, but given the people who start it will be dead by the time any results are shown is it really worth ruining that many lives for is the real question - why not use genetic engineering on embryos and cell cultures if you want to improve human bodies (still not saying we should), as it's faster and less disruptive to existing people

I mean the British had a huge role in ending slavery, not because it was the right thing to do but because other countries were doing it better and so it was better to invest in stopping others than doing it themselves

The US and USSR similarly ended most colonialism because they were the most powerful nations in the world and yet couldn't compete in that field

As countries become powerful, they seek to destroy whatever the previous symbol of power was and replace it with whatever they're good at until the next newly powerful country comes along

I think by brand recognition they don't necessary mean "mastodon is a known brand so it'll be fine", rather that mastodon is a big enough brand for their voice to be heard... I imagine that it'll end up being like mozilla and google with the w3c, where even if one is far more open and collects less data than the other while also having fewer users, they still agree to and collaborate to create the same standards, and users can disable these
