Punch a tree until it falls. Make an axe out of wood. Use it to chop more trees down. Find shelter for the night. Build a crafting table. Wait until sunrise. Run around until I find sheep. Kill them for wool. Make a bed.

Yeah, fuckers, it’s using statistics. And it turns out, when you spend a century downplaying all of the state violence and massacres you perpetrate domestically and globally, it’s going to pick up on that and use it.

Even worse though is how much this entire article and framing itself is Western propaganda. They take as a given that the only words that should be used are these particular words and use that standard to judge the output of the LLM. They’re either entirely lacking in self awareness of their brazen hypocrisy or they are ideological fanatics without a shred of decency or shame.

Astronomy is constantly discovering never-befor observed phenomenon. The idea that you can simulate realistic images of anything requires you to have sufficient knowledge of reality, and astronomy keeps showing us that we don’t have that.

The only way I can see this being helpful is to train algorithms for what is already known and can be safely filtered out, making it easier to detect new observations

Money. Plan and simple. The right wing is the side with all the money and they spend it on producing propaganda regardless of its economic viability. Just look at Prager U’s financials. They pay dozens of content creators to pump out content even though it’s not profitable. There’s not enough money in the left wing to counter that.

Mind, I don’t count Democrats as left wing.

You think an M-L community is supportive of Trump? Where do you get your thoughts from?

Congress is stacked against Democrats. There really isn’t anything they can legally do until they regain the Senate or the House

Except praise ICE, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that Congress is stacked against the Democrats. They’ve shown everyone who they are and what they stand for and it’s not clear in the least that they would behave significantly differently if they were in power. From Biden building the wall to Kamala saying “Do not come”, and all of the messaging of the Ds since they lost and now 75 Ds voting to praise ICE…

75 Democrats just voted to express gratitude towards ICE.

They’re actually going to work and doing their job, not sitting on their hands. The reality is that most Dems are just part of this ongoing process and have no intention to resist it, even if they had power.

The Democratic party

Holy shit. Replacing OS native components with React Native is wild .

No, they want you to think that voting Democrat will change things. Guess what. Democrats have a serious track record of escalating just as much as the Republicans. You think neoliberalism is a Democrat thing? No. It started with Reagan. You think the Republicans are the only war mongers? No. Clinton launched the first ever preemptive war for humanitarianism and Obama killed the first US citizen in a foreign land by direct order with a drone strike. You think the Republicans are the racist ones getting black people killed in the streets? No. The Democrats are in full support of transferring military surplus to local police around the whole country.

They want you to think voting matters because then you’ll spend all your energy voting and getting others to vote. The reality is that the march of fascism happens whether you vote or not and whether the Ds win or the Rs win. You will get the same net result no matter what. Just read the last century of American history. Even FDR’s New Deal was his gambit to save capitalism from the revolutionary conditions of the time. He says his greatest achievement was saving capitalism.

That’s the entire reason for the existence of the Democrats in this era - prevent revolt.

It’s called the will to power. If you start from the question “How do I gain power?” then it becomes obvious. She is claiming Christianity because doing so gives her power. She is not making a mistake, she is making a move.

Bing. O.

I am so tired of these sorts of shallow analyses from people that think their screw-ups are actually caused by EDAs or micro services or whatever. They’re even totally transparent about the fact that they did because they heard cool things but never say “so we sat down to learn about best practices, what the current state of the art is, and considered how our use cases matched the architecture”

They just say “we thought it would be cool so we just started doing it and it sucked - here’s why that’s an inherent problem of the architecture and not in any way related to our behavior”.

Yes. If you take a team of people who build n-tier and hexagonal MVC monolithic apps, and then tell them to build micro services, they’re going to build a bunch of n-tier or hexagonal MVC monolith candidates and eventually end up with a single service that does too much and ultimately becomes the monolith.

Yes. If you take a team that does 100% synchronous HTTP interfaces, SOAP or ReST, and then tell them to build microservices, they’re going to daisy chain those microservices via synchronous HTTP interfaces, and if you tell them to build an EDA they are going to build an EDA that attempt to replicate all of the aspects of their synchronous HTTP interfaces with busy polling loops.

So stop doing that and actually do the hard thing of learning fundamentally different architecture, techniques, technologies, trade offs, best practices, operational patterns, design patterns, and heuristics and principles for managing software. Learning is difficult and humbling. But it sure beats writing ignorant articles like this.

Socialism and social democracy are diametrically opposed. Social democracy is capitalism managing its captive populace through concessions to avoid socialism.

No, it’s not bad in the least. No one of any importance will even notice it, let alone ask you about it. I’m great at school and I took 5 and half years to finish college. It had no impact on my life at all

Nothing I have ever found. Discogs has been around for over 2 decades and the community they have is powerfully organized. They have some big gaps for sure, especially in the Spanish-speaking music world, but it’s the best we’ve got
