  • Tell them of a famous guy, the most “woke” person in the entire bible, a socialist & convicted-felon people call “Jesus” benJoseph, who called hypocrites “Hypocrites!” right in their face, instead of “turning the other cheek”, a guy who got *physically violent" on the commercial-operation of the temple…

    See if they just blot that out from their awareness, to fit their ideology…

    Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast And Slow” is the key book to understanding the different mechanisms of mind, in the ideology/prejudice/instinct/reaction circuit, vs the considered-reasoning-circuit, in case you want the real “artillery” of understanding what’s going on in the world, now…

  • TTBOMK, there are 3 things which change-the-rules, significantly.

    1. Pimsleur. Get the Pimsleur app, get the all-languages subscription, & do 1 session per day.

    2. Flashcards, or Anki, to get the visual imprinted into your automatic-mind, for any language you are trying to learn

    Later…

    1. Tandem, where you find a speech-learning partner, you help other people learn your languages better, other people help you learn your target-language better.

    Begin with Pimsleur & with some yt videos.

    ( they have no Sanskrit, which is the one I want, unfortunately )

    Do well!

  • Computational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.

    I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.

    “diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.

    When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…

    Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.

  • Retrospectology is right:

    Of the 2 parties in the system,

    The Democrat Party is coasting on its assumed-entitlement to win, instead of doing what factually is required, in order to win,

    and they actually are accommodating giving the Republicans victory.

    Even without the coming economic problems, as the extra-printed-money ( thus devaluing the currency ) continues to cause limited-wages to get weaker & weaker & weaker,

    even without that, the backing-of-Israel’s-genociding has cost them the GenZ & Muslim vote, already.

    They’ve got their heads so far up their ass, that they CANNOT understand that Dictator Trump’s going to have some of them executed.

    Moronic making-believing “strategy” doesn’t cut it.

    IF one is in authority, THEN by G-D one is obliged to wield that authority responsibly, and the Dems are in assumptions-land.
