thorncorona··on Forum with 2.6M posts being deleted due to UK Online Safety Act
What defines hate speech? Who defines hate speech? Does hate speech result from the speech or the actions of those against the speech? Should the speech of protestors have consequences for disturbing the peace? What consequences should the state force onto individuals for speech, or actors affected by speech?

Americans for lack of a better description grapple with violence of the state differently than Europeans, but it seems neither are without consequence.

Without mentioning the oxymoron that lawful free speech is.

thorncorona··on Nvidia and Salesforce double down on AI startup Cohere in $450M round
> Then why aren't people competing with Nvidia? Why is OpenCL on life support and unsupported on major operating systems? Why are we doing this song-and-dance routine refusing to adopt certain GPU APIs but embracing closed ones instead?

Because Nvidia invested 20 years into its API platform, and this advantage is slowly getting realized.
