@thatguybg Farmers don't produce fruit. Plants do. Farmers make the conditions right: crop rotation, water, sunlight. They facilitate. They tend. They stay out of the way.

@LenSeaside alpha is a rate not a ratio is my point. i think you’re missing the point we really didn’t define anything just took meters, kelvins joules etc out. instead of saying 60 miles per hour we can then say 50 nano-c (per hour is no longer necessary)
Alpha is already dimensionless. Like pi. That actually exposes the limit of this framework. Setting c, G, or ħ to 1 is just a unit choice removing conversion factors. But dimensionless constants like α are pure numbers describing real relationships in nature. They can’t be normalized away.
The E = m confusion comes from pushing the unit argument too far. When we set c = 1, we choose units where time and distance share the same scale, so velocity becomes dimensionless and E = mc² simplifies to E = m. Nothing about the physics changes. Mass and energy remain conceptually different; the unit system just hides the conversion factor between them.
still very much in r&d but one of my fav projects being worked on at lucky is these agents that make creating the scene and what you actually want the robot(s) to do faster, just such a cool concept.
I’ve joined Lucky Robots as director of eng & AI to help build the robotics simulator I wish we had right now.
If you’re someone who likes to make robots do cool stuff or want to shape a sim being built from ground up to make training robots way better for real tasks, join us!
@erenbali on the same note, businesses get to write off office costs pre-tax, but regular people can’t do that with their homes, rented or owned. if you’re paying taxes, the same rules that apply to businesses should apply to you too. we all are income generators for the government.
@wanyeburkett someone doesn’t feel bad is prob results in more agency —if anything, lower iq is linked to more of that, which tracks with higher crime rates. also psychopaths aren't running the world. real intelligence shows up in restraint; included but not limited to, morality...
yeah i get it’s about gender specifically—but OP said “innate gender differences” i was just pointing out that the idea of innateness isn’t a strawman, even outside that scope. helps ground the conversation imo.
@ChrisOfTheFens@wanyeburkett obviously nothing exists in a pure 100%, but for position 2 to be meaningful, the influence has to be more than negligible. sure, individuals can be pressured, and parental influence matters—but no one becomes straight if they’re truly gay. that doesn’t happen. that’s innate.
