Original article on arXiv (it’s a short one).

A “EE” degree won’t get you into poking the right things into memory using BASIC. How about your “EE” programmers try that understanding of hardware?

I’m brazilian and I have to say the opposite: smartphones are teaching people how to write, read and think quickly. In university scenarios, people are excited by the possibilities technology have made possible for them. People are willing that the country grow in stature. And that means deep philosophical meaning and so on. Also, Brazil is known for its diversity, so anything that is plus diversity will make brazilian people more willing.

I’ve read most of this comment section and I can’t help but think that americans are lacking the meaning they once had. “Building pipe bombs made us smarter”. ok. “television wasn’t as bad as smartphones”. ok. But the landscape changed and now there is the need for diversity. Time won’t come back and that’s fine, we as world don’t need white predominant thinking to be back. We need something that will push us all forward, and that is not measuring and saying people are dumber and finding other measures to say the same again.

Let’s just pull up everyone. You don’t need to be dumb to wish the best for all. As the article says, friction is good. More social, more friction, more thinking.

I agree that learning friction is essential.

heh, always the prefrontal cortex

Remote computing is very expensive. It’s just the gated (owned by companies) LLMs that are cheap for the final consumer. Training a 2b LLM on remote compute will cost thousands of dollars if you try to.

I think it’s important to understand the philosophy also. The free software movement traces back to being able to transform any software in order to function on hardware as intended by the user. This is necessary and is its base philosophy.

So you have a hardware that is unusable without property software. That is what is unacceptable by free software standards. And I agree.

bullies!

Palantir only cares about one philosophy. The “philosophy of God”. You may like some enlightenment figures like Kant or Leibniz, since the sense of hierarchy is powerful on the epoch, but that’s about it. You’re supposed to reverb/echo the “philosophy of God” or get out! Critical thinking without hierarchical thinking is just a pain on the ass for them, so you can “go home and eat our metaphysical shit” or submit to the Mathematical God which will create all the rules and philosophy we need.

I guess that’s what he means.

You need a static IP address and DNS. Then you need to follow instructions for launching and administrating the lemmy server online: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy

Did these two people (publishing on Cambridge!!) just try to give a deep scientific coating to Curtis Yarvin idea of aristocrats (“CEOs are monarchs”)?

What do you want to self-host? Lemmy?

Data from space missions is open for the scrutiny of every researcher and citizen scientist, right? It’s good to have those things open so everyone can check.

Well, it’s weird that it gets 16%

You’re giving Microsoft too much credit. The market in general doesn’t want you to think of an alternative.

I’m kind of curious as to what I could do with Proton Drive SDK.

This is just incredible. I am at a loss for words.

I just wish I didn’t had to cite Lovecraft for this to be cool.

That’s common culture/knowledge. But I don’t know, seems like rubbish to me. If English colonization has different methods, what can you say about Trinidad & Tobago? And the English Guyana? Let’s not go to Africa and Asia. It doesn’t seem to be their “modus operandi” to me.

I don’t think there is some big extermination plan for America and Australia. I think there’s just something different to those places, but that requires more study. Not of the common knowledge kind. Why would you want some kind of extermination colonization strategy for Australia? It’s weird. It’s more of a “counter-study”, but I believe there are people fighting the good fight out there. I’ll put it on my list and research it.

That’s good. It’s similar to Brazil in the sense of recognizing and preserving tribal cultures. That’s important, but it doesn’t extend to all native people. There are movements here advocating for the recognition of the urban indigenous—people who live in the cities but aren’t officially recognized as having native ancestry.

Even more, it’s increasingly expected that there were big cities in the Amazon, featuring complex trade routes. However, this topic still needs to be studied more profoundly for various reasons.

It all depends on History, specifically how groups like the Aztecs in Mexico and the Inca in Peru dealt with the Spanish. Their elites were often made kings (or viceroys) in the early post-colonization period. That makes a significant difference in the subsequent social structure.

Not children. People of any age. They’re dark skinned, sometimes slightly dark skinned. They look like japanese, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’re hispanic without a spanish surname. They’re not told they’re hispanic, they’re just marked as hispanic by the demographics. They don’t need to be told what they are for people to oppress them.

That’s how it works: you mark someone as something and don’t give a shit about what they think about it. Sometimes, the person just thinks: “This is how I look like, and this is what my family looks like, so I’m correct and don’t know anything about this heritage thing.”.

They don’t need to be told anything, that’s how it works.
