  • USA has been allowed to roleplay as world police using other people’s borrowed money to supplement oil revenue to pay for their army.

    China’s push toward electrification & USA’s recent self-goals undermine the world order that USA has been perched on top of since WWII.

    If the rest of the world collectively decides they’ve had enough of USA’s bullshit, they can just choose to stop lending money for nonsense like a dozen aircraft carriers full of F-35’s.

    Among the consequences of living in such a world, is the various regional hegemonies would need to arm themselves to police their own backyards. Pakistan and India. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran. Russia and EU. If they all got a cut of the global military production that today arms USA, would they use it against each other?










  • Its been done - link goes to a PDF of the study:

    Patients with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) frequently report episodes of interidentity amnesia, that is amnesia for events experienced by other identities. The goal of the present experiment was to test the implicit transfer of trauma-related information between identities in DID. We hypothesized that whereas declarative information may transfer from one identity to another, the emotional connotation of the memory may be dissociated, especially in the case of negative, trauma-related emotional valence. An evaluative conditioning procedure was combined with an affective priming procedure, both performed by different identities. In the evaluative conditioning procedure, previously neutral stimuli come to refer to a negative or positive connotation. The affective priming procedure was used to test the transfer of this acquired valence to an identity reporting interidentity amnesia. Results indicated activation of stimulus valence in the affective priming task, that is transfer of emotional material between identities. r 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    “fishy” = bacterial vaginosis

    The common scent element in healthy cis women is “tangy”.

    Estrogen causes the vaginal walls to secrete glycogen, which gets eaten by lactobacilli, which produce lactic acid.

    Lack of tanginess can be caused by low estrogen levels. It tells us about your current endocrine ecology, not your gender identity.










  • I wouldn’t count on it anytime soon. The data center build out is a years long process, and even after they get built, their owners will want to use the initially installed hardware for as long as possible before upgrading.

    Expect demand for new RAM to remain higher than it was before the AI datacenter build out began. Maybe not as high as it is right now, but some degree of increased demand will be permanent due to the increased count of datacenters that will eventually want to replace their obsolete, worn out hardware.

    There might eventually be a larger supply of used RAM on the market, but a lot of it might not be compatible with mid-shelf consumer grade motherboards.
