Oh no it is. West has iirc quite severe schizophrenia, and he’s not taking his meds for them due to paranoia (the meds are “stifling his creativity” you know).
He wasn’t a Nazi before. Since he’s off his meds, he turned total Nazi. And iirc in the brief time where he started taking his meds again he apologised for some of the Nazi stuff. And now he’s off them again so it’s Nazi o’ clock.
Seems very causally related tbh.
He has genuine and severe mental illnesses. He’s off his meds at the moment due to his paranoia about them.
It’s incredibly clear when he’s off his meds, as when he’s on them he turns a lot more reasonable and not Nazi at all.
AFAIK Taler is for payments, the Digital Euro is for storing value.
The reason for that is that surgeons are rated based on their success percentages meaning they’ll recommend against risky surgeries.
The upside of this is that surgeons aren’t operating willy-nilly on people and will make a proper risk assessment. The downside is that overweight people have an inherently higher risk of complications from surgery, so some surgeons will pass.
It’s not because they think these people don’t need it, it’s because they think it’s too risky. They’re usually not wrong about that, you just need to find a surgeon willing to take the risk or, if possible, reduce the risk by losing weight.
I mean several of them acknowledge it, but this guy at least seems to think it’s problematic.
I remember a project where someone booted Linux off of Google Drive. Cursed on many levels.

Down to the wire, got a little bit lucky as I had two options for the final two words and no more free guesses. Thankfully I guessed correctly!
I know that nuclear and hydro can constantly cover it, the point is that when it’s very sunny out countries with good solar adoption will already 100% cover it (if not more). The nuclear power at those times has to compete with cheaper solar power, which it loses on price. And because the grid can’t handle more supply than demand, it requires shutting something off. The cheapest power is solar so you’d prefer to keep that on for economic reasons, but since nuclear is bad at scaling up and down you have to pick the more expensive option. This increases energy prices beyond what is really necessary.
This also becomes even less tenable as battery adoption increases.
Well that’s exactly the popular misconception. The constant part of the baseload is the demand, not the supply. The total supply should always match that of course, but given the variable makeup of the supply, where renewable power sources are simply cheapest and at peak moments will supply the full demand, any other source will have to be variable as well to economically compete. Otherwise it’s just making energy needlessly expensive.
I mean, they didn’t admit they were wrong. They’re saying they were basically “totes bamboozled” by Trump once he was elected, which we know is horseshit because half the country apparently did see this coming (and was quite vocal about it).
It shifts the guilt for what is going on entirely on Trump rather than taking an ounce of responsibility for their own role in the whole ordeal.
Except people will just purchase their own solar, because it’s cheaper than getting nuclear power from a battery. They won’t wait for demand to catch up, they’ll make sure their own demand is fulfilled so they won’t have to purchase power anymore.
It’s a simple economic rule, if there’s a cheaper option people wi shift towards it. You can’t force people to purchase your power. You can’t stop it unless you ban buying solar, which won’t be received well.
Nuclear fills a rapidly shrinking niche in the power mix of tomorrow, and it’s economics that’s squeezing it out. There’s no point in fighting that unless you want to pay more for power than is necessary (which nobody does).
Assuming you still need the nuclear power to fill those batteries that is. Given the rate of solar adoption, that might well become unnecessary.
Rooftop solar takes basically no extra space and it’s hard to get even closer to population centers than that.
He tweeted out criticism of JD Vance before. I doubt he’ll fold easily tbh.
He lived half his life in Peru as well, so I don’t think he’s easily influenced by the US government.
The problem with using nuclear as baseload is that people have the wrong idea of what is required from a baseload power source.
A baseload power source’s most important quality isn’t constant output, it’s rapidly adaptable output.
When it comes to cost, nothing beats solar. It’s cheap, it’s individually owned and especially with a battery the self-sufficiency basically means not paying for power anymore. So, people will adopt solar at greater numbers as the cost of solar panels is still dropping.
Solar and wind at peak times in several countries already exceed the demand. Nuclear, which is more expensive to run, now has a problem, because nobody wants to buy that energy. They’d rather get the cheaper abundant renewable power.
So, the nuclear reactor has to turn off or at least scale to a minimal power output during peak renewable hours. This historically is something nuclear reactors are just not good at. But even worse, it’s a terrible economic prospect: nuclear is barely profitable as-is, having to turn it off for half the day kills the economic viability completely. Ergo, government subsidies are required to keep it operational.
Flexibility is king in the power network of the future. That means batteries or natural gas plants at the moment. Nuclear can be useful for nations without those and with a lagging renewable adoption, but it will be more expensive in the long run. It will also become more important to do heavy industrial tasks during peak renewable hours, so that the demand better matches the output.
Yup, they shipped a debug build. Here’s a video that shows the build side-by-side with one that was compiled with compiler optimizations: https://youtu.be/9_gdOKSTaxM
It was quite laggy in certain areas, particularly the submarine sank the framerate quite considerably.
Meh, those are just the programmers that are remembered.
They did lots of dumb shit too. Mario 64 was a super-innovative game at the time with its free 3D platforming. There’s also tons of weird code in there, and the developers also fucked up by shipping a debug build of the game, costing a not insignificant amount of performance.
? I’ve seen plenty of talk about the situation in Ukraine, Sudan and Kenia. Maybe your instance doesn’t federate with the instances where those discussions happen?
Palestine is a notable one because it’s perpetrated by our “ally” and it’s also very high in civilian casualties. And I really don’t say that to minimise any of the other atrocities going on.
Accelerationism has historically never ended well.
I’m not saying all schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis, don’t put words in my mouth. I’m well aware of what the Nazis did.
I’m saying that West’s schizophrenia is likely making him prone to Nazi sympathies, evidenced by his apparent lack of those sympathies when he is on his meds. In his case these two are very strongly correlated. Schizophrenia is a very complex mental disease that manifests differently in different people. We don’t know exactly what goes on in his head, but we know he isn’t sound of mind. Hitler is theorized to have had a form of paranoid schizophrenia too. West specifically seems to believe that black people are “the real jews” and that Hitler was therefore right to kill the “imposters” or something stupid. The reasoning he presents does fit with paranoid schizophrenia.
To be clear, schizophrenia is a disease that we know how to manage, and most schizophrenics do so just fine. West in particular is an idiot for not taking his meds. And of course his diagnosis doesn’t absolve him from the responsibility of his actions. But they are clearly related in his case.
He is also egotistical and seems to have some kind of messiah-complex. That does appear to just be him being a piece of shit.
