I like this reaction video for the video:

Pretty much exactly this: Ghost - Call Me Little Sunshine

Not sure if this is what you’re referencing, but there’s a famous quantum computer researcher named Scott Aaronson who has this at the top of his blog:

If you take nothing else from this blog: quantum computers won’t solve hard problems instantly by just trying all solutions in parallel.

His blog is good, talks about a lot of quantum computing stuff at an accessible level

Maybe they mean engineers in general? Engineers tend to be over-represented in cults, because “Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons.”

Here’s the direct youtube video link

Still kind of weird to hear Arch Enemy with clean vocals. She does a really good job though, turns it into more of a power metal vibe. Cool outfit too

I like the combination of thrash vocals + black metal riffing

Hexbear in a nutshell. They externalize their self-hatred onto others because it’s easier than actually fixing themselves

I was also confused. I’ve been using concrete:plates for almost all walkways that I’ve encountered. On surface=concrete:plates it says this:

surface=concrete - concrete forming a large surface, typically cast in place and may have predetermined breaking joints

Which is confusing, because sidewalks AFAIK are cast in place and have predetermined breaking joints, but it seems like surface=concrete is more for mostly continuous concrete surfaces regardless of that text?

Nice, sounds great! That’s a good setup, how long did it take you to get done?

Strong The Abysmal Eye vibes

Missed this when you first posted it, but this is some really good shit. Tech death + western is a mashup you don’t really think of, but makes sense after you hear it, lot of crossover 💀 🥃

I can’t really seem to find a good way to see active user growth over time. That site has a chart at https://lemmyverse.net/instance/hexbear.net/user-growth, but that only goes back to January, and a simple user count isn’t really enough to say anything. Something like https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/stats but per-instance would be pretty informative, especially going back a few years.

At any rate, this is the sort of productive conversation that I thought would be good to have about the post.

Thanks for writing that out. I didn’t post this intending to break rules or stir up drama. I thought it was interesting on its own merits, in essence the same as “How I left Scientology” or “How I left Jehovah’s Witnesses”. I also thought the mention of dwindling users was interesting. If you’ll excuse the LessWrong link (which is a site with its own weird in-group thinking), here’s an essay called “Evaporative Cooling of Group Beliefs” that talks about that effect.

TBH I think you’re concern trolling, because you don’t like the topic. Instead of drama or trying to prevent discussion, what are some interesting things about the comment? I think this part is very true for many cults:

I finally had a breakthrough internally and got the courage to go to therapy and try to reckon with the damage my upbringing did to me. and once that started to work, $CULT’s rose tint rapidly faded.

Poor mental health is responsible for a lot of people falling down nasty internet rabbit holes. We should work to improve that situation.

Oh, you’re from hexbear.

There is no drama. This is a useful account of escaping extremism.

Not sure how ollama integration works in general, but these are two good libraries for RAG:

I like the strategic aspect of knowing your chances with what spells are remaining, but I already have a hard time coming back to a run and forgetting details like that. Maybe if the book could show what spells are remaining.

Hell yeah 🤘 It all kicks ass, but that’s an impressive vocal range. Wonder if he’s going to get any haters for the little bit of pig squeal at the end. Also not really the shirt I expected to see on the vocalist
