I get that you’re upset. We all are. But it’s not time to just let shit slide without even mentioning it.

It is almost always that.

So Trump threatened to destroy civilian infrastructure. Isn’t that a war crime?

It has a very recognizable rhythm and tempo.

I’m talking specifically about the variant of RL used by systems like AlphaGo.

Wdym? It’s existed for at least a decade. Plenty of papers about it. It mastered Atari and Mario. It became the best Go player.

LLMs might suck at this game but I’m pretty sure Deepmind’s deep reinforcement learning AI could solve these easily.

EDIT: I know you guys hate AI around here, but you need to at least be aware of what the technology is capable of.

Actually Congress is voting against stopping the illegal war that they never declared in the first place.

I think it would be reasonable to consider reparations for individual descendants of slaves. There are plenty of people alive today that can prove their descendance from a slave.

Reparations to entire countries in Africa seems a bit absurd to me.

and it happens exactly as the people whose claim is being denied with “slippery slope” fallacy said

But this is the crux of the fallacy. What evidence is anyone providing that there is indeed an insidious chain of events we are enabling by adding the birthdate field? Are there examples of cases similar to this in history?

EDIT: I can tell people are getting emotional about this because I’m being down voted for just asking a question that elaborates the point someone is making.

Whistles aren’t doing jack. We need a general strike. Stop proposing distractions from real solutions.

This list of bullshit features does zilch to address users complaints about software quality. They are truly clueless.

I’m thinking seriously about using something like a Daylight tablet as a thin client for a more powerful machine at home. Obviously doing real coding by hand would still suck, but LLM-based coding might actually be viable.

Yes absolutely. Also not a historian, but AIUI that’s probably the largest factor in the overall boom for the US economy at the time.

I didn’t mean to claim that the US was ever a peaceful nation. The best I could say is that the US sat out from the world wars until they had both (1) a way to sell war to the public and (2) a clear financial interest. Post-WWII, every US war has been a bullshit war.

I also don’t mean to sound positive about capitalism. My only real point was that for a brief period, (white) workers actually had an OK social contract with the ruling class. It didn’t last long at all in the grand scheme, and was probably a fluke, not real evidence that capitalism works.

Forgot the punchline

That’s not entirely true. We had a brief period after WWII until the 70s when the middle class actually existed, the rich were taxed at 91%, and unions had leverage. This has eroded quickly since the dawn of neoliberalism.

I don’t understand how this serves the purpose of ad blocking.

IIFE

This is basically the definition of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

This article sucks, just watch the video of it.
