  • You could have walked away and not replied to me, shut off your phone or computer and spent your time with more productive or enjoyable activities than arguing with strangers on the internet. You’re not 5 years old, it doesn’t matter who “started it” (I don’t care), you’ve come into this comment section and posted an unpopular opinion and let yourself be consumed by anger.

    I feel obliged to point out (for the people that might be quietly reading this, you can ignore this) that living in a dense neighborhood and being forced to interact with real human beings on a regular basis is good for my mental health. Reminds me that most people are actually okay and not like “keyboard warriors” on the internet.



  • What is important to you may not be to others.

    Honestly, genuinely, being able to get fresh produce daily and good bread - gluten free or not (there’s gluten free bread???) - and being able to be spontaneous and take a quick 5 minute walk to the store because I’ve unexpectedly run out of eggs in the middle of baking or whatever aren’t things that are at all important to me, they are just facts of life. What’s important to me is not being inconvenienced by people who think it’s their god-given right to own a car and make it everyone’s problem.

    My issue here is that you’re saying

    I get to go shopping once every two weeks instead of smaller trips every day

    like everyone should obviously agree that only going once every two weeks is the better experience and just stopping by on the way to or from work or in your lunch break is somehow an inferior experience.

    You are sitting here trying to prove my preference is wrong.

    I don’t care about you, I care about other people possibly reading this and want to make sure - since they’re interested in the conversation already - why we think living car-free is better. The top level comment on this chain is you stating your opinion that cars are better, with no explanation at all as to why. I know that people like you are a lost cause.







  • I wholeheartedly agree, people use the term “AI” nowadays to refer to a very specific subcategory of DNNs (LLMs), but yeah, it used to refer to any more or less “”“smart”“” algorithm performing… Something on a set of input parameters. SVMs are AI, decision forests are AI, freaking kNN is AI, “artificial intelligence” is a loosely defined concept, any algorithm that aims to mimic human behaviour can be called AI and I’m getting a bit tired of hearing people say “AI” when they mean gpt-4 or stable diffusion.






  • Someone else here said to spend time reflecting, but I found this only made things (edit) worth worse for myself.

    My secret weapon is distraction, it’s the only thing that truly helps when I’m in a, uh, dangerous (for me) mood. Distracting yourself with things you love doing helps distancing yourself from the situation and makes you realise there is more to life than your ex.

    No amount of talking about my feelings or reflecting on the relationship has helped me as much as listening to music, drawing, baking, exploring new online communities etc.

    You know how people will say if you start lying to yourself that you’re great and happy, you’ll eventually start believing it? It’s similar to that, I think, you remind yourself often enough that there are other things you love and that make life worth living.

    So, yeah, time + filling your life to the brim with things and activities you love.
