There's a lot that I won't ever say online, even anonymously, that I would say in person to someone I trust. So for me talking to trusted people is level 4.
text is both information dense and highly compressible. this means that whatever's there doesn't take much space, and then additionally you can compress it up to 10-fold.
for reference, you can get War and Peace in 1MB (compressed), and all Wikipedia articles without images or videos fit in 50GB (uncompressed)
If it helps, I recently rolled back to the Firefox 45 ESR... it leaks memory like crazy but at least it streams audio and video without stuttering. I don't notice snappiness problems, but I also have a lot of RAM.
What makes you think an artificial neuron would be a faithful replica? Virtual models of other things and processes are readily detected by humans as inaccurate / imprecise.
> The benchmark runner is a Python program (requires at least Python 3.5) that you can use to not only run the benchmarks themselves, but download the corpora used in the benchmarks as well. The script is called benchsuite and is in the ripgrep repository.
I've finished IV, V, VI, VII. I think VI and VII are much better not just in terms of graphics but also gameplay, plot, dialog, and characters. That said there are still good things about IV and V, but I wouldn't go back and play them again.
Oh, I was thinking more like trees, biodiversity, and water honestly. Sharks, plankton, etc. Even if oil became scarce, energy doesn't look like an issue in my lifetime, there's always coal and nuclear.
Hmmm, ok, so I think cognitive empathy probably subsumes affective empathy, with safeguards to stop you from getting overwhelmed by it. [edit: Or at least therapists do both of these things.]
Good question. I think therapists have an obligation to treat racists without prejudice. I've read a few papers written about the treatment of repulsive clients. Many times just by listening to and validating pain, the pain will shift and the defense - which may well be racism - will fall apart. So then I think the question is, is malignant racism only ever acceptable as a symptom of a deeper problem? I probably would be okay if the answer here was yes. (Unlike homosexuality, for example, because unlike racism, even if you construed homosexuality to be a defense, it's much harder to show that it's an unhealthy defense that actually hurts anyone.)
The empathy you and everyone else are talking about is not what a clinical psychologist / psychotherapist / competent psychiatrist means by empathy. Yours is more akin to what they would call sympathy / pity / compassion.
It's unfortunate, because while I agree with you, the lesser-known version of empathy is actually useful with respect to dealing with pain. The characteristic in common is a sharing of emotion, but therapist empathy also includes intelligent analysis to overcome things like racial prejudice, dialog with the recipient to check for understanding, and well it's basically just hard work that pays decently if you're good at it.
It doesn't scale though, it's really only good on a 1-1 basis but some group situations can work. Supposedly parents are supposed to do it naturally with their children but everyone is so self-centered these days that I never see it.
