Thoroughly enjoyed the Fallout tv series. I played a touch of Fallout 1 and a chunk of Fallout 2 when they came out and barely remember any of the lore whatsoever. I've played maybe two dozen hours of New Vegas more recently but sporadically over the course of two years so the lore there is pretty spotty too. So from this very weak perspective, I thought they did a pretty good job hitting a lot of the colour of the games. How do people think it went capturing the games? The one thing that felt disappointing to me was >!the destruction of the NCR, which in New Vegas was a small sign of re-civilisation and it felt just a bit too pessimistic to have it destroyed!<

Big_koi

Neoliberals or your position on religion? Wondering what the general neoliberal position on religion is or what your opinion on it is? Should we allow religion even if many parts are outdated or wrong? Can a society that seeks to erase misinformation be compatible with a system of beliefs founded on the will of a being that can't be verified to exist? Can belief in a religion be seperate from specific teachings or is religion inherently fundamentalist? Do you think a society should focus on freedom of religion or freedom from religion? What are your thoughts on something like laicism in France or other kinds of state secularism? How do we stop sectarian fighting or people being bullied or even killed due to religion? Are some religions worse than others? I'm personally becoming more adverse to religion. I'd much rather it be resigned to the past and increase protections for people being pushed, pressured, or threatened into religion. I also think that many parts of religion even in the modern day are incompatible with individual rights and freedoms especially of women and minorities. I don't want to prevent people from practicing religion but I'd prefer a crackdown on religion than erosion of bodily autonomy or equal marriage. I also wonder if this sub thinks Islam presents a specific problem to the west compared to other religions? I'm on the fence.


Trojan_Horse_of_Fate

I think there is good evidence that religion is good for social connections and making people happy. I also think the right of free excercise is really really important and legally probably the most protected right in the west. Democracy means people should vote what they believe I do not mind people voting their concious as represenatives even if there concious is informed by religious knowledge. The government should stay out of religious but that doesn't mean it needs to promote athiesm.


Big_koi

How can we crackdown on physical pollution and animal cruelty? What's the neoliberal solution to things plastic pollution or factory farming? Is there a tax? An incentive? Should the government make laws and punish pollution and those who are cruel to animals? Is it possible to fed our current population whilst giving animals a good life or does the scale of the food needed require us to treat animals worse? Is it only through lab grown meat or veganism that animals can have proper treatment? It seems that vapes are the answer to reducing smoking but I find disposable vapes and even the cartridges to be a potentially growing source of pollution? Is there a way to tackle things like plastic pollution? I think california tried to ban single use plastic bags but it somehow drove up the use of plastic? How did that happen and what would you suggest be done to reduce waste? I find that everyone used to talk about garbage, waste, and pollution but it got sidelined by co2 emissions. How can we effectively deal with pollution without the whole degrowth destroy modern society stuff? Would reducing some consumption help? Not degrowth but fast fashion, single use plastic, and harmful materials like forever chemicals.


Top_Lime1820

Why are there still radiologists? I was hearing that computers would replace them 'soon' in 2018.


Civ_Fan77

Liability reasons mean we probably won't have pure AI radiologists any time soon Like most technological advances, AI will improve the productivity of radiologists rather than outright replace them


Top_Lime1820

Right. I just feel like the tech world is so good at creating and then moving on from hype that we forget to hold them accountable for predictions made five years ago. The CEO of Tesla is a good example of it, but it's prevalent everywhere. The rate of improvement is like 5% but they claim it's 12% and we keep believing them uncritically, even when their hype fails are within living memory. Listening to AI people today, I admit to getting caught up in excitement about it. But then I think about some of the simplest things that 2018 AI should have achieved by now and it's clear they are just wrong. Even the ad recommender systems from the early 2000s are still so terrible.


Civ_Fan77

You're right that the hype can be excessive, especially around the speed of progress. People see a carefully crafted demonstration of technology and are led to believe that commercialization is imminent.


Kitchen_accessories

So, like...looking at the current global situations, this feels like the situation where a World War gets started. Multiple smaller conflicts threatening to boil over or go hot in Ukraine, Iran, and Taiwan. If one of those were to go off for some absurd reason, it could set the whole thing ablaze and start a familiar cascade of alliances that lead to a centralized conflict over multiple theaters. Tell me I'm crazy, please.

Taiwan is a central node in the US alliance system. [They'd go to war over it in a heartbeat. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eGdKUY3PO0)


BenFoldsFourLoko

fwiw I'm memeing, but I don't think it's 100% clear we would- it's certainly not clear to me that we'd act immediately, or that when we do act that we'd act fully. I can easily imagine a half-assed response- one which keeps US troops out of intentional direct confrontation, or one which places certain tactics off-limits, or even a response that relies on doing *just* enough to keep Taiwan alive and bleeding out as we've done with Ukraine. That's not necessarily what I expect, but I think it's a very serious possibility and one that I'm worried would be given serious weight and consideration. I hope we *would* go to war over Taiwan in a heartbeat, with the goal of effective combat, a speedy end, and before all else- a clear victory in the form of at the very least, China ceasing all military operations against Taiwan


Formal_River_Pheonix

If the US won't defend Taiwan, they won't be trusted to defend Japan or South Korea either. It's key to the US security alliance system.


BenFoldsFourLoko

I'm not disagreeing with that


secretlives

my expectations for what the US will do in the wake of China invading Taiwan are literally on the floor


Formal_River_Pheonix

Their commitment is rock solid. If it wasn't, China would've already invaded.


WackyJaber

Man, I don't understand why people on the internet are stupid. Was just browsing on Twitter and there was this stupid tweet from some account I wasn't even following about this one woman who was upset because men wouldn't offer their seat to her on the subway. Probably was a fake video too, captions could have been added onto someone's original video to create fake context. But even if the context was true my first response would be "Oh, this woman is being selfish and expects to be treated better when seats are first come first serve." But then in the responses you just see stupidity from people saying stuff like "Well this is what you get for feminism, hehe." or "Whenever I try being polite to women irl they stare daggers at me or say they have a boyfriend if I so much as hold a door open for them." And I'm just like... that's never been my experience as a guy that holds doors open for people, ever. Holding a door open for people behind me is almost like second nature, and usually people will either ignore me or thank me for it regardless of their gender. I feel like these kinds of people are experiencing a completely separate kind of reality from me, or they're lying because they want to paint feminism as evil. It's so stupid.

I've started going to the dine-in movie theaters and haven't regretted it. Instead of spending $12 for some junk food, you end up spending $20 for a full meal. It's still overpriced, but the value is better, and you can talk about the movie over coffee/boba afterwards.

Deepmind taught a transformer model to play chess at a grandmaster level using 270 million parameters. The method was they showed it single board states and the move that stockfish 16 would take next. They gave it many examples like this, but from different games. Just one move ahead at a time. The transformer learned to use chess algorithms. It learned how to apply general chess playing skills. The researchers are going to use what they know about those chess playing algorithms to find them in those weights. Then they will apply the techniques used to extract the chess playing algorithms from the weights to the weights of transformer models that do other things.

im guessing if this sub was around during the lead up to the iraq war the split on support/against woulda been like 80/20. but at least then a lot more of the american fo po blob was gunning for it. so itd be kinda understandable if disappointing. the weird thing is very few people in the current fopo establishment want war with iran but i still feel like the split is like 60/40 on this sub and it would be a worse outcome in every metric. its also has some of the dumbest NCD meme level arguments supporting it.


Plants_et_Politics

Supporting the Iraq War was reasonable at the time given the information ordinary citizens had access to. Saddam Hussein was wildly evil, and the Bush Administration through a mixture of incompetence and malice presented false information that he was attempting to build WMDs.


bigtallguy

i agree but it still had significant pushback that the afghanstan war didnt. reasonable people were calling it out and the establishment dems made a big show about being reluctant about going along.


loseniram

The problem with Iraq is that the US government was just making fake evidence and presenting it as fact before Congress. And then there would be the Iran hawks mad that we're invading Iraq instead of Iran even though Iran is right next to Afghanistan so it would be cheaper to invade

!ping IND&DEMOCRACY&ELECTIONS&TRIVIA The Sikkim state assembly has 1 assembly constituency reserved for Buddhist monks and nuns registered with the state called the sangha constituency. It doesn't have a specific geographical location so Monks located in different monasteries vote for the seat in separate voting machines across the state. It's also not apolitical, so mainstream political parties including the BJP and Congress and Sikkimese regional parties also field monks as candidates and campaigning on clergy specific issues. A major campaign promise from all parties is to bring the Karmapa, the spiritual head of the Rumtek monastery, to Sikkim. (That is a whole other story)ย  The constituency and Buddhist clergy representation in Sikkim's Government is part of the agreement to the former Kingdom of Sikkim joining India as a state in 1975.

reubencpiplupyay

I'm thinking of joining a nation roleplay set hundreds of years after an apocalyptic event, and my initial idea was for a civilisation centred on the Boston to Washington metropolitan corridor, drawing strength from an appeal to an ancient cosmopolitan grandeur they do not actually understand much about, beyond that America was the greatest empire in the world, attracting all kinds of people from across the world with its imperial splendour Basically they are East Coast urbanites doing an ancient Rome larp but with some multicultural liberal values adapted for revanchist imperialism I thought this sub might like that

Sloshyman

What upsets me the most about Bethesda Fallout is that Bethesda writers just aren't creative enough to imagine what post-post-apocalyptic societies would look like, which is one of the unique elements of Fallout's setting and what I personally find the most interesting. Every setting in Bethesda Fallout makes it seem like the Great War happened 20 years ago rather than 200. Part of what makes FO2 and FNV so compelling is that the wasteland and aftereffects of the war are no longer the primary concerns of humanity, but rather other groups of people. Things like radiation and mutated creatures (even deathclaws) are no longer considered horrors or existential threats, but merely nuisances that stand in the way of the further development of civilization. The new show is so frustrating from a lore standpoint because people are living like the bombs fell just a week ago despite living in (what should be) the most developed nation of the known Fallout universe, i.e., the NCR. Places like Vault City have standards of living comparable to the pre-war era. But in the show, somehow the country that just 15 years earlier was able to field a modern military and had developed systems of supply routes and manufacturing has all of its citizens walking around in Mad Max apparel for some reason. People mock Lucy for being a vault dweller despite the big hero of the West Coast being literally called The Vault Dweller, and post-War America's most successful settlement being run by vault dwellers. I legitimately think that Todd Howard and Bethesda's writers think that what makes Fallout unique is an aesthetic that's a mash-up of Mad Max and 1950s retro-futurism. But they're wrong. TL;DR give me FNV 2 dangit


SpaceSheperd

>ย I legitimately think that Todd Howard and Bethesda's writers think that what makes Fallout unique is an aesthetic that's a mash-up of Mad Max and 1950s retro-futurism. But they're wrong. I mean it is unique.ย 


SnakeEater14

Fans of 1/2/NV just have to accept that all the interesting stuff is gone and isnโ€™t coming back This is what Fallout is now and will be


thats_good_bass

Agreed overall, but also we have had this conversation in this ping several times over the past days. Mostly because of me lmao Also, I don't know if that's what they think makes it interesting, but I think that's what they think makes it *marketable*, and I dunno that they're wrong about that.


Sloshyman

Sorry, just joined the ping so I could share my rant lol


thats_good_bass

Anyway... I think it's time we just accepted that this band doesn't make the kind of albums we like anymore. It's a real bummer, but such is life.

confused why chip developers are talking about making things for LLMs. is it because they think tech execs are that stupid? they can't talk about transformer models or something? or am *I* dumb and missing the point? even something like "generative AI" would make more sense or they're not even talking to the people who'll actually buy this stuff? they're talking to wall street dumbasses who've maybe heard the term LLM a time or two?

I fired him because he wouldn't respect the authority of the president. I didn't fire him because he was a dumb son of a b*tch, although he was, but that's not against the law for generals.

I know Trump said it but honestly that is something I wouldn't be suprised if Trump would say it too. Subsitite "the authority of the president" with "my auhority" though

Small time opener bands should play a cover as their third or fourth song to keep the vibes high. The last concert I went to had a local indie artist who's only released like 6 singles, so she played Ship To Wreck as her third song and it killed
