    It’s all word views. Obviously a Christain who believes in souls has no reason to respect an animal if it doesn’t have one.

    But, I just think we are matter, so I imagine that matter inherently experiences. In that case, humans are no longer the obvious protagonist who has no reason to feel bad about abusing the rest of those out there.

    Edit: And the fact that racism likely comes from people looking different, acting different, having resources we want, difficulties in communication, and/or leaders having an incentive to support it, it is pretty easy to see how specism exists. Whethere or not you care about that is up to you.



  • In college I was told over and over that SECURITY BY OBSCURITY IS NOT ACTUALLY SECURITY. So using thoroughly tested and examined security techniques from open source software is the gold standard.

    There are known secure algorithms that cannot be cracked by modern computers. So, no reason to try and reinvent the wheel and just hope your way is better despite decades of refinement and research into modern open algorithms.




  • LLM’s like the AI’s you mentioned generally are just really good at predicting the next word. For example, Given an input like “My dog likes” an AI may add the word “treats” to the end. They are so good at predicting the next word that they will write paragraphs that sound entirely human.

    So, when they give you strange links, and made up names it’s probably because it just thought that stuff sounded good.

    You can only trust results if you verify them yourself.

    I am not sure if the paid versions are better.




  • You have a good point I was a bit too black and white with my comment. There definitely seems to be a correlation between size and violence of terrorist groups, and the human rights of the area they riside in.

    Also totally agree that it can happen to me. Gotta acknowledge that you don’t really know anything and you are pretty much always just taking someone’s word for things. I believe the Earth is round, but I’m just taking people’s word for it.











  • Just switched to obsidian from amplenote.

    Obsidian is a beast that can manage all of your knowlege in extremely personal customizable ways.

    Amplenote is a nice todo list & note taking app. It is better than most note taking apps at helping you execute on tasks.

    I switched because, with plugins, Obsidian can be ALMOST everything Amplenote is, except so so so so much more. The big this Amplenote is missing is all of the automation that makes everything run so smoothly.

    In obsidian I have a button to “Create work note”. That button creates a note with the right template, in the right folder, composed of a top half note and a bottom half that can be changed out. That note automatically shows up in lists I’ve made that track the work I do. All from one button.

    You don’t have to do anything fancy with Obsidian, but you can, and it is awesome.
