even mathematically impossible to do formally (reducible to the halting problem).
Nah, if the programs are not arbitrary (and I hope they’re not, considering that you chose them) then it doesn’t reduce to that. But you are right that it is not feasible for most industries and he is right that in some industries it is not only feasible but required.
If by installing you mean the data is received ready to play on the computer that you will be playing on, probably not. The rest of the computer will be too slow to receive such a bandwidth even if the Internet service could provide it to you.
These requirements are set as to be impossible because Chesterton was a horrible person in favour of maintaining a racist and patriarchal Catholic society. seriously try and answer those questions without speculation.
He literally holds up to his own standards right afterwards: “It is now necessary to recite these truisms; for only by doing so can we begin to get a glimpse of that reason for the existence of the family, which I began this essay by demanding.”
He doesn’t say you can’t speculate: “People ought to decide in a philosophical fashion whether they desire the traditional social order or not; or if there is any particular alternative to be desired”. It would be weird if he did considering that this chapter brings up speculation on practical ramifications of social reform rather than historical context.
He wasn’t exactly in favor of the status quo either (in his case it would be more from a reactionary perspective): “The family, especially in the modern state, stands in need of considerable correction and reconstruction; most things do in the modern state.”
What purpose is patriarchy supposed to serve? What about homophobia? What about racism? How did they arise? What purpose does excluding women from voting serve? What about anti abortion laws?
All of those things are very well studied now from all lenses and perspectives, I don’t think anyone reasonable will say that there is no understanding on these topics. Certainly not in a philosophical fashion.
No, Call of duty doesn’t even store all of its full res textures on your hard drive lol. They could make it much bigger if they wanted to
Every tradition and social structure has some important reasoning behind it, and if you want to get rid of some prohibition or institution because you think it’s outdated, useless, or obstructing progress then that is a demonstration of your lack of qualification to make such a change.
Where did you get this impression from? If you think it’s outdated, useless, or obstructing progress that’s understanding. Seeing that it’s useless is different from not seeing its use. There is literally a quote about that in the same chapter.
If he knows how it arose, and what purposes it was supposed to serve, he may really be able to say that they were bad purposes, or that they have since become bad purposes, or that they are purposes which are no longer served.
“it’s weird”
“it’s gross”
“other people won’t like you if you do it”
I thought neurodivergents hated such reasoning lol
Imagine doing remote tech support for someone with such an attitude lol
There is an entire profession dedicated to stopping violence against capital
i thought when u said “Do you need me to explain economics 101 to you?” u were going to explain economics 101 to me lol
yes please
They’ve been working on this since last year and still haven’t figured out the question of “who will we trust tokens from”. You’d think that such a question would have been the focus from the very beginning! Lot of “I hope”, “I’d love to”, and “wondering if we might be able to” and other such non-committal language regarding the kind of power that is given to token issuers.
You can’t really get cheaper for the same performance since with new parts, since you’re already looking at the lowest xx50 tier of gaming GPUs where you’re forced to accept unfortunately low price-to-performance ratios. That is to say, they don’t make em any cheaper, lol.
If you fix the price to stay the same, a 5600x and a 9060xt 16gb will cost you around the base model’s MSRP and will give you ~60-120% more performance depending on game and performance. I imagine the 120% is when the 8gb VRAM on the steam machine runs out at 4k, lol.
A mid-range PC (i5 4590 + 750ti) from 2014 would be a perfectly fine computer to use even today, and probably wouldn’t draw all that much more power than a modern PC either. Things last longer now that hardware advancements are slowing down. You’d have to use Windows 10 LTSC though because driver support for Linux has been discontinued, lol.
So a lot of Americans did vote for this horrific administration, but most people don’t even know what they are voting for
And the second time around?
You can go up to a 5060Ti 8gb for $370 and get +45% more GPU performance compared to a 5050 (which was already better than a steam machine) and still stay under the budget for a steam machine. The 9060 XT 8gb is also about the same price on the other side of the aisle.
The numbers are there if you care to look lol. Not my fault you don’t want to. selling rx 6600 performance for a thousand bucks in 2026 lol
And AGAIN, all hardware is simply more expensive.
yea and this one is twice as expensive as those lol
all done in user space, you just have to disable this security feature preventing user space programs from calling these privileged cpu instructions 😅
