I genuinely can’t tell if this is a joke or not , but I really hope it is because its so perfect

my point isn’t to say that the ellection interference in 2016 did not happen , but that I don’t think its reasonable to assert that a topic is being influenced by Russian trolls by virtue of it being something Russia might have a vague interest in .

not to say that any suspicions are invalid , of course , but again from what I understand , Russia has a very “one topic at a time” approach , which should be taken to mean there is a limited number of affected communities , which from past examples appear “home grown” .

I feel its worth noting that this article suggests the actions of this group is/was centered on the war happening in Ukraine . I’m not sure what the other person was saying but it does not follow , nor is it reasonable to conclude from this information alone that these agents operate on other topics .

honestly I don’t think your conclusion is that accurate as you are missing a common factor between RT/Sputnik and MAGA : both are right wing nationalists .

while from what I remember there is some evidence showing that the raise of the new alt-right in the US is not fully organic , I feel like saying their views are just astroturfed end of discussion is quite pointless .

just to make my point clear : Israel also has a online propaganda campaign which often aligns itself with the views of the Democratic party in the US . one could say something along the lines of “It couldn’t be any clearer. What are the odds that Democrat views nearly in 100% [of cases] overlaps with Israeli best interests?” suggesting that the entirety of the Democratic party’s support is artificial , which is made easier by the exsiance of Israeli funded political organizations in the US .

but this is of course bullshit . the impact of Israel’s foreign politics is not the entirely of the Democratic party , nor is it correct to say that everyone who says anything positive about the Democratic party is a “Hasbara troll” . (also of course as neonazis on twitter have realised , Trump is as also affected by these forces , no you don’t want to know)

I believe this also should be applied to the other side : Trump has tapped into preexisting American sentiments towards right wing nationalism and with a mixture of luck , charisma and support from both national and foreign interest groups rallied them around himself .

mind you I’m not saying this to paint the views of Trump’s supporters as legitimate , I hold quite opposite views , but because I think your analysis is limited .

lets take the EU as an example : an American nationalist will quite naturally hold some distrust of foreign blocks , which is then compounded by the EU having some liberal policies . its not necessary for a foreign entity to artificially create these views since they are a natural extension of other views this political group has .

fun fact : the angle is now around 3" 26’ which is just slightly over ¹/₂₀ of a degree !

not entirely sure but this doesn’t feel like something the fsf would like . most definetly it violates freedoms 0. because it discriminates against companies with over 5 M$ in income and against people living in Japan (see 2.14 , though I’m not sure its enough to qualify) , and possibly by restricting what you can do with the software , though I’m not sure on that one . it also violates freedoms 2. and 3. by requiring publicly releasing your changes (fsf requires that free software licenses allow for private modifications) and possibly by requiring contacting the licensor or the post-open administration though I’m unsure of if it does (entering into a post-open source zero-cost / paid contract seems to me to imply contacting either the licensor or the post-open administration) .

I am doubtfull of LLMs ability to preform tasks via a protocol layer as described . from my experience these models really struggle with understanding rules and preforming actions within a ruleset .

To experimentally confirm my suspicions, I created the following prompt :

I have given this prompt to ChatGPT and it has failed in quite substantial ways . While I only have access to ChatGPT 3.5 , from my understanding of LLM architecture , it does not follow that increasing the size of the number or size of the layers will necessary let it overcome these issues , it does not seem to be able to understand the current state of the agent (picking up two objects at once , taking items from wrong cells etc)

reading through your comments I feel like the issue is of interpretation : what I , and possibly others , assumed you were trying to say is that non native English speakers have an advantage when trying to interpret the meaning of words , so sorry about that .

Thinking about it however , I believe I have been taught more about linguistics in my Polish lessons than in my English lessons . Unfortunately , as you have suspected many students will , I forgot a large portion of it , which I am especially unhappy about now that I am getting interested in recreational linguistics , I still remember some of it , with parts of speech (not to be confused with constituents (that joke would be quite a bit better in Polish as constituents literally means parts of (a) sentence in Polish)) being one of the most basic building blocks of language

ah I must have misunderstood your comment , I think you may have replied to a different comment than you have intended to ?

also just as a side note , one counter example is many autistic people , myself included prefer the term autistic person rather than person with autism , though to be fair that is moreso an adjective but the way you worded that sentence suggests its also incorrect in some cases yeah um

also I have never met a single copper , really must open myself to new experiences /j :)

not OP but in Polish there is no word for boyfriend or girlfriend, you just say boy or girl which is kinda funny. however because Polish has grammatical gender, you can say boy friend/girl friend and even enby friend, thanks to neoforms! (przyjaciel, przyjaciółka, przyjacioło)

though note that partner is also gendered (partner, partnerka, partnerze)

something I’d like to add is that while you were not told the rules, you likely learned quite a few of them subconsciously.

personally to this day I struggle with what present perfect and others are, but I can use them easily. similarly I can’t say which grammatical case is which in my native language but I have no issue using them.

sorry but I think you are misjudging just how much you learn both grammar and vocabulary from speaking a language natively and possibly misjudging how well education can teach someone a language

languages are these surprisingly complex and irregular things, which are way easier to learn by doing than by trying. often entering school you can already use tenses or grammatical structures that students learning English as a second language will struggle with a few years later in their educational journey, while you can spend that time unknowingly building up an even better subconscious understanding of the language.

Besides, from my experience, having basic Polish and extended English mind you, the tasks you are expected to do in the lessons of ones native language require a way higher degree of mastery than those in the second language of a pupil.

Also, it should be noted that non native speakers, or fluent speakers of multiple languages, can often borrow things from another language into English, either translating fraises literary (ex. once in a Russian year instead of once per blue moon) or using a unrelated word which happens to have a connection in the other language for other reasons (ex. castle and zipper both translate to “zamek” in Polish)

also mind that for a not insignificant number of people, though due to how more connected our world is today this has slightly decreased in the recent years, the level of English they ended up with from school is quite poor.

I mean yeah it is very overblown , sorry I did not make it clear

honestly , while I believe this is random=funny, I think it is interesting to interpret:

While your comment is from three days ago, I thought its worth answering anyway. Please note that my main goal here is to answer your question, not to argue for or against either their or your position. I also would rather not to explain basics of socialist ideas, so if you have questions that are not that related to the interaction between socialist, specifically marxist, beliefs and cryptocurrencies, I ask you use your preferred search engine instead. For disclosure: my main lemmy account is over on lemmygrad.

Aside from common issues people find with cryptocurrencies, though note that socialists are likely progressives thus issues such as the environmental impact of proof standards may have a higher weight for them, many socialists, including marxists, which that user likely is, looking at the instance choice, may find the reasoning behind cryptocurrencies, to be limited in scope, specifically focusing on how financial resources are managed and who controls aspects of it, while socialists, especially marxists, usually find issue with how finance encourages seeking profit, which, according to socialist/marxist beliefs, is a negative way of organizing the world around us.

In other words, communists don’t consider decentralizing finance to be an effective way to take back control over the means of production from the capitalist class, as it does not address the unequal distribution of wealth, which socialists take issue with.

Just as an FYI Orwell was kinda a horrible person. You can still enjoy his literature if you want but he couldn’t help to find Hitler unlikable, was a colonial cop in India and didn’t like how the Hindi people treated him because of it and and made lists of people who he accused of being leftists and Jewish.
