> How Israel's 'Legitimisation Cell' is justifying journalist killings in Gaza
To show you your hyperbole: Allowing monkeys on typewriters.
LLMs are neither IDEs nor random.
I am very sceptical about iterative AI deployment too. People pretend the success threshold is vibing somethging that gets widely used, but its more than that. These one-shot solutions are not project maintenance. Answer yourself this one, could LLMs do what the linux kernel cummunity did over the same time span? This would be a good measure of success and if so, a strong argument to allow generated contributions.
Exploring the motivation might reveal the brought up disadvantages already exist else where. So what threat is unique to china?
You could also ask the invers. How can china strengthen us. And one thing i could envision is, china passing laws for sustainable product design, so eg. electronics are robust, repairabe and most importantly, recyclable. Would be nice to see china ramping up and following their sustainability goals and do what western countries will fail on too.
But why should i explain when your mind is occupied with africa when mentioned in a side note and that it comes with an article opening like this
> To understand what’s at stake regarding the Mediterranean
... occupied with africa and implying harmful migration without ever basing it.
But a cheap 100 year projection expressed _in a single graph_ in a way does fit into a conversation about overconfident stupid people.
When he bought it, right wing publications all over world got excited because twitter was the global / official communications channel for alot of entities and largely considered left leaning. When your plan is to disrupt that bubble and amplify right leaning narratives (he helped trump1 getting elected with it), you better cover your tracks and make that purchase look like an accident.
Whould you give a physician making life-or-death decisions and opsi-budget before you walk away? No. Then where do you draw the line until this irresponsible behavior becomes evil? Evil is defined here not by the individuals intentions but by the outcome.
Would you agree with me, that all the decision makers and elites sabotaging renewable energies and sustainability are evil? Keep in mind, they all might have their clumsy excuses.
It is too easy to trap yourself in by sprinkling in Sized and derive(Hash) ontop of your neat little type hierarchy and then realize, that this tight abstraction is tainted and you cant use dyn anymore. As a follow up trigger: This was when i learned derive macros :)
How cryptocurrencies are mined is secondary in that regard too because their values is also purely based on perception, since there is no large authoriry backing that currency by eg. demanding , spending and regulating it.
The primary function of money is its trade value, to "lubricate" the real economy to let goods and services flow. When the value is unstable, people are inclined to not spend or not accept that currency, which contradicts the free flow of it and in severe cases harms the economy.
Crypto'currencies' have the same problem. By nature, they are no currency but investment for which instability is required. No crypto bro would hype their 'currency' because there would be no pumping. Arbitrage trades are considered being for fools or insiders.
Most people, including folks on here, think cookie banners are a problem, but they are just an annoying attempt to phish your agreement. As long as these privacy loopholes exist, we will keep hearing such stories even from large corporations with much to loose, which means the current privacy regulations do not go far enough.
Cutting communications hinders iran less then outsiders trying to spark a revolution. I think thats also a reason why russia and other autocratic nations have internet kill switches too.
> litteral arrogance
True.
> Cuba might drone strike US homeland
> Cuba gets flattened
Being a superpower means being free of ethics or reason. 'We are the good' sufficently summarizes a regular US-born worldview.
You also shouldnt be too naive to think, US citizens would bring up ethics or reason when choosing their leaders or commenting on their own countrys aggression.
Why do you think, the world is unfair? Some decades ago, we had a world police.
Jazz9k just drank too much coolaid from billionare owned and election meddling twitter, i guess.

But snark aside, the next elections will be decided around damage control. Yes, the old school dems are pretty spineless (corrupt) but i guess even they feel the temptation of revenge and taking out political opponents for good. I really hope the new generation of democrats succeeds and breaks the corruption ties.
Which is what anthropic did? Nation states aswell as companies want to control their business involvements. The difference is, companies manipulating representatives will never be as fundamental (hopefully) as an arbitrary legal basis for governments to force companies. The orwellian angle comes from the total authoritarian one.
The globally accessible /nix/store is frigthening, but read-only. Same applies to the nixos symlinks pointing there. This vulnerability was enabled by a writable /tmp and a root process reaching into it. This would be bad on debian and nixos.
