我这样说是因为我了解历史

Y’all are desperate to relive the glory days of WW2 when it was clear who the baddies were. I get it, Americans do the same.

Conscription has always violated human rights but there are certainly better words like “conquer”. And let’s not pretend Russia isn’t also conscripting men (though certainly not those in their 50s).

If you make Roman/Nazi salute than your opinion is not worth considering. Either you’re doing it because you approve of an ideology that will always fail, or you lack the contextual awareness to form an insightful opinion.

Edit: judging from your comment history, if you posted an image for yourself doing the salute I would say the latter. But we all know you’re too ashamed/scared to share an image of yourself doing that “gesture”

Where do you think the Nazis got the salutes from? And for that matter, where do you think we got the word fascism from?

Ehh, it is not that our dopamine receptors are fried. We are all wired to seek out information. But most of what we get is starving us for actual useful information so we have to wade through an endless sea of slop. The “instant gratification” is largely us not wanting to deal with the bullshit and get straight to what is useful.

Anecdotal: traveling to the smoky mountains and rented some bicycles. Owner said rentals are down 30% compared to this time last year.

Don’t bother with this guy, @ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works has done some mental gymnastics to justify starving the Palestinian population. So it really isn’t surprising they would want to vote for the most ghoulish option.

The stock market makes no sense to me.

That’s because “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Why would you ever yell at an employee unless you’re bad at managing people? And you think you can manage an LLM better because it doesn’t complain when you’re obviously wrong?

A junior developer actually learns from doing the job, an LLM only learns when they update the training corpus and develop an updated model.

When LLMs get it right it’s because they’re summarizing a stack overflow or GitHub snippet it was trained on. But you loose all the benefits of other humans commenting on the context, pitfalls and other alternatives.

Pepper Ridge Farms remembers when you could just do a web search and get it answered in the first couple results. Then the SEO wars happened…

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven’t seen this point until now.

Padme: you are going to release the video footage, right?

Reminds me of an adage:

It takes two to lie: one to lie, and one to listen

That would mean admitting they did something wrong, which is impossible for these ghouls.

Wish they’d pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

3% of the population being scammers sounds about right.
