I weep for people whose scientistic reductionism has led to such devaluation of humanity. Robots don’t do anything and don’t think anything. Humans do things with and through them. What makes us special is that we exist and love one another.

Whereas you would never stoop to exaggeration or your own contribution to this fight since it’s already lost, right?

Something with a name reminiscent of the Atlantic Ocean.

OMEMO has superseded xmpp for a while now.

I agree with those concerns while also recognizing they also apply to virtually all of the technology we are using to argue right now.

Amazing! Perhaps my project here would interest you. Also do you have bonjour support?

I have simply referred to speakers of Semitic languages. You are the one concerned about whether this group comprises some kind of orthodox taxonomic grouping.

I have no influence on what choices you make or in particular whom you choose to ban. This conversation thread is old so of course I won't be stoking it anymore. In the future, though, if I am banned it will not be because I correctly discerned malice and called it out; but rather because someone in power wants to pretend one can be neutral on this topic. Sincerely, have a beautiful day.

Speakers of Semitic languages are Semitic. This isn't controversial, unclear, or irrelevant.

I never understood this: the Palestinian children whose family and limbs are torn from them for Israeli sport are also Semites. It seems like the ultimate erasure to claim "antisemitic" for only Jews.

I believe you but I'm interested in the studies mentioned in your first sentence.

Which cheap vision model would you recommend for ingesting category diagrams and producing mermaid facsimiles?

How do I install only systemd-appd?

The pace of progress is precisely why many people qualitatively assume the curve will flatten soon: J curves are generally (obviously not always) unsustainable.

Do you earnestly think the electorate thinks about these things?

I offered an opinion in the previous version of this comment that was unhelpful to the discussion, even if the subject of the opinion was anonymous. Can't see how to delete a comment so I'm editing this instead.

I have a co-worker who does this now. He's very smart, very capable, very experienced and it's clear that he's just a frontend for Claude now. It's tragic.

Why was this flagged? Social media, part of the tech industry, is part of state propaganda and should be discussed here.

Do Americans often try to use dollars in Europe?

*I guess there would have to be some mechanism for the database to push notifications to the client. This is not a fundamentally unsolvable or particularly interesting problem.*

You seem to be passionate about your pedantry and I'm not so sure whatever.

You seem to be under the impression that you have authority over me. Fascinating.

I don't need to do anything. You however should stop condescending and issuing commands to other people.

That sounds like a question for a psychologist or clergy member.

Nope, just the normal one. It asks for your age and gates further interactions based on the answer, no? That's verification.
