The alternatives is planning for the max disaster- and that means ordering and storing coffins in bulk. We could get a pretty good deal if we order NOW.
Better to be dead then to be a slave in russia- which almost always means you will become a slave dragged against your will to the trenches to die in another enslavement campaign. So the choice boils down russia or not russia - and beeing dead either way.
Lets not forget that russias "subversion" of europes politics and culture is also relentless. The fifth column would continue the attack from inside, even if a treaty was signed. AFD and BS in germany come to mind, Front National in France, etc. They have so many useful idiots, with anit-imperial ideas useful for the last empire standing.
Trump wants everyone to get nuclear weapons. He wants a world of transactional big players and unreliable alliances with shakedowns. That is a world were everyone scrambles for a nuke, naturally. And pakistan is broke- you can get one there relatively cheap.
What is needed is a Graphene Lightmill, turning driven by light alone, capturing CO^2 spinning out graphene as a monofiber, no in between steps, no conversions.
I dont know, i have used F# for a while now. My problem with it- is discoverability and reuseability of the created code. It is very hard to read and get in - compared to classic OO and its hard to reuse something created and custom tailored. My 2 cents, may be worth even less, due to my limited experience and a propably wrong approach by me.
This scam is actually pretty old- as in private patients get that all the time. My mum had her perfectly healthy teeth all drilled and filled in switzerland, as a private patient, when she was barely out of her teens.
Maybe that is the use-case- a hallcuinated internet with links, that you click along in search of something, until the gpt has enough information to generate it from thin air. Maybe the journey is the destination.
The problem with attempts to controll knowledge, aka limit it, is that it has a tendency to spiral. You limit information about this and that- some zealous partymonger goes astray and limits all the information related.
Next you have a famine and because of the involved parties guilt about the dysfunction, knowledge is limited even further.
You either have all the information, including the one about retardations going awry in the past. Or you do not and spiral down to become one of those figures in the history lectures doing bizar things, repeating past failures.
Looking both ways in this comment.
The whole narrative control thing of the left, which is completely blind to physical realities causing problems and makes everything a theater-society-production with a racist villian is almost as disgusting as the ahistoric "isolationism will solve our problems" of the right.
So, just hypothetical, what would you do if the whole millionaire and billionaire tech caste declared for a dictatorship to protect there wealth against a democracy that would get ever more re-distribution leaning as the world succumbs to global warming?
There is malicous compliance. They can create new email categories, to which you are auto "resubscribed" - you validating that the email is used and has a reader that reads the emails and cleans his mailbox is worth a buck.
Then you hovering over topics you might be interested before unsubscribng gives away preferences.
Its sort of sad, a painting, a cultural artifact, produced by 100s of people, beloved by millions and its just tossed aside, trampled like a electronic mandala - or worser still, destroyed in its vision by trying to turn it into an addiction.
Nobody will remember our names for the art we made, we will be forgotten and background-noise to other artifacts who survive deep time.
The greatest irony was the solution to jamming.. just line the drone up on a vector- and have it keep going on that vector when the jamming kicks in..
And we can already see the same fallout we saw with the ak - aka the sturmgewehr being distributed worldwide. Easy accessable wartech, collapses societies and they do not recover, to a stable state. Its just to easy, to asymmetrically destroy a societys structure, making a "state" in a region, a veto by minority thing.
This war - is not ending anyway, even if ukraine collapses, its just 5 years on the bench and then it resumes, in the baltics, in poland, somewhere else. That imperialist monster will not go away, not with appeasement, not with territory, not with kotaus and harsh gestures. All that was tried, and all that it brought was this war. We must fight not because we want, but because its the only option we got, because lesser man, gambled away the security we had in the last 30 years.
But is it proportional to the investment of time and people participating in it. If you take the amount of money/people invested into the sciences at a point in time , lets take: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvay_Conference
And then, put the number of contributors and the rate of progress against one another, my guess is that you would see a massive slowdown of progress, so massive actually, that explenations about the slowdown abound. There is the "all easy apples have been picked" theory, the "only life&death systemic competition forces contributors to produce good science" theory and a ton of others. All basically trying to explain the same phenomena- which could also be explained by: "hackers, hacking hackers, hacking processes, leave no financial substance behind to have people who actually do the scientific leg-work."
Thats not true entirely. There is research, with huge impacts and the money leveraging- keeps it brutally honest. Nothing makes it out of a lab and into a fab, without certainty of the method working at least in lab conditions reproduceable. There are many billions, but not that many billions.
At some point, the good scientists leave and the fraudsters start to filter for more fraudsters. If that goes on, its over- the academia has gone. Entirely. It can not grow back. Its just a building with conman in labcoats.
My suggestion stands: Give true scientists the ability to hunt fraudsters for budgets. If you hunt and nail down a fraudster, you get his funding for your research.
The most important part about anime is- with computer assisted tooling, its cheaper to make - cheaper to make means less oversight by creative handicaps like financeer gremiums, means artists get a shot earlier, instead a few making it to the honey pots. Thus more artists, who want a shot try the medium instead of waiting for there day in the sun in some cooperate mausoleum.
Tl,DR; All of culture is constantly fleeing the curse of the MBAs - the destroyers of all things good with the Middas touch.
