Let’s not sully the planet with him being the first one there. Let’s send him to the sun.

It’s waaaay more fuel, but worth it.

Few companies will migrate to the U.S., as it’s wholey a disadvantage at this point.

The U.S. is unstable, is actively isolating itself from global markets, requires higher wages, and is run by a psychopath with a cult following.

Everything about it makes it bad for business, so business that can afford to are going to bail and stick with actually sensible countries.

This is an implosion.

They probably don’t read xkcd to begin with.

if morality were dictated to rational agents through an external source, we could not be sure of its objectivity (i.e., universal and necessary validity). Moreover, the notion of an external source that dictates morality conflicts with our being free moral agents. Hence we must legislate ourselves through our own faculty of reason such that the moral law holds objectively for rational agents such as us.

I agree with everything here until the “must” of the last sentence, as it seems to be based on the implication that said free agents care. There are people who do not care for their own wellbeing, or the wellbeing of others. On a subjective basis, they lack the values that objective reasoning would be built on.

To them that “must” is meaningless. Or worse, they view statements such as that as being dictated to them from an external source.

On top of that, we aren’t completely rational, or able to make completely rational conclusions at all times. We can make attempts, sure. But we have biases, we fall into fallacies without realizing, and like I said some of us just don’t care.

Morality can’t be objective if we can’t be objective.

but I’d rather not recapitulate the entire work. If you’re interested, I would read the following entry page on the issue.

I understand not wanting to do that, so all good.

Though. I’m more interested in a discussion than anything else.

Kant thought that the moral law is a duty that is imposed upon the self by reason.

What is the evidence that this thought is true? How do you objectively prove this?

Kant thought that the moral law is a duty that is imposed upon the self by reason.

So how do you evidence that this value is objective?

if everybody lied all the time, then lies would lose their effectiveness.

How does effectiveness of lying have anything to do with the morality of lying?

If I am ineffective at providing for my family (disability/sicknese/other means for which I cannot control), is that immoral?

I’ve been doing some shady shit with regex lately (parsing .md files for interactive TTRPG sheets), but I’m glad to have not been touching XML

🤮

10/10 I love this shit

It’s sad that something like it can never happen again because of how everything is streamed/torrented now.

That’s fair. But it’s at least something.

Anyway, I’m just saying the crypticness is largely cultural and unnecessary. If there is some kind of CLI “skin” that lets you interact with Linux at the command line using normal words, I’d love to know about it.

This is far more manual than you probably had in mind, but Linux has support for a command called alias, which allows you to basically rename anything you like:

Yeah. And those industrial bots you work with are all metal, with high torque motors most likely.

Meanwhile this thing is going to be using the cheapest servos that can just barely meet the torque requirements, all in a plastic housing arm.

Gonna stick with my ender 3.

Assuming every hinge there is motorized, that’s 6 servos. That looks like a nightmare to calibrate, which it will need to do a lot of if it’s shoved in some backpack for travel on a routine basis.

And the print head looks like a bitch to take apart to service if you get a jam.

Fuck this shitty ass country.

I’ve got old phones that I’ve been considering for this use.

They both still work, minus the cellular data. So I’m having a tough time deciding between making my actual phone squeaky clean, or using the old ones have making it a bitch to get home from the airport with no internet to call an uber/friend/deal with airline shenanigans.

yeah im just saying one show does not mean anything.

Nor have I said so. I was giving an example of how the boomers have valued cops, and how they view them.

heck andy griffith was more a small town show than a cop show

Sure, but the underlying effect and message of the show was “hey cops are the good guys, they’ll look out for your family”

I would say cop vs general emergency responder vs hospital/doctor show ratios are not that different today than back when boomers were the main television audience

That’s far better argument. Though I’d say it still misses the mark because even modern cop shows are still meant for an older group. Gen Z isn’t watching those shows. The closest is Brooklyn 99, which is closer to pornography than reality, or an attempt at reality. There’s also true crime, but often the value there is morbid curiosity, not “cops are good”.
