Rioting Pacifist

Sorry I meant this specific Lemmy community wasn’t sure how to flag it like r/technology but for lemmy

YIMBOs in disarray.

https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube let’s you use playlists while listening for free without ads.

I dislike how disenting opinions get downvoted on Lemmy/technology probably more than even on reddit.

Everything you said is factually correct.

I disagree that it means they should be banned but they take money from corporations to produce slopaganda, that’s just true, and even beyond that their videos are well animated but the moment they touch a subject you actually know about you realize they are just internet researched videos that go a little more in depth that reading the Wikipedia page but it doesn’t seem they actually understand what they are talking about, which is fine except that’s not what they present themselves as (same with CPG Greg)

I mostly use Nebula these days, but I’ve giving up on finding new content and I think all the creators I follow are on both because you’re unlikely to get many new viewers on Nebula.

They’re losing money, like cloud I doubt having OpenSource code would have much of an impact on the average consumer (maybe if they fully opened they weights it would have an impact but even then, they could delay the release a few months/versions and keep like 99% of the paid customers) being closed is more about stock valuation, they have to pretend to have a bunch of secret sauce/source that is worth infinity dollars.

Istanbul for the Istanbulites to decide there are plenty of countries with smaller populations that have self-determinations.

So how long is long enough that colonized people should give up?

You could literally say the same thing about Palestine:

The fact that it happened 78 years ago and that it happened by conquest after decades of fighting with the opposing people does change things for me.

What about indigenous Americans? Should they abandon their claims because it was over 400 years ago?

most countries except less than about 10 around the world should be considered colonizers since they conquered lands from other countries.

They should, everyone should have a right to self determination.

Because they were literally military outposts put on Africa by conquest, the fact it was 400 years ago and before the modern state of Morroco doesn’t change that.

I am not in any way legitimizing colonialism

You might not intent to, but you’re making excuses for why colonialism doesn’t count as colonialism, which is literally what every attempt to legitimize colonialist projects does.

The examples I picked are because litterally the same arguments are used:

• Morroco didn’t exists - modern nation-states will make it sound like the land was unused if it wasn’t claimed by another nation-state
• It was X years ago, just let it go

If the people living there had a right to self-determination it would be more complicated, but we’ve seen on mainland Spain that the Spanish so not legally or practically believe in the concept.

Why do you think a European colonial power should get to keep it’s overseas conquests but you don’t expand the same courtesy to China or Israel?

Such definition does not apply to Palestine because they’re part of Greater Israel. Those places never have been a colony.

Such definition does not apply to Tibet because they’re part of China. Those places never have been a colony.

Such definition does not apply to Réunion because they’re part of France. Those places never have been a colony.

It’s been over 75 years those territories are part of Israel

It’s been over 800 years those territories are part of China

It’s been over 350 years those territories are part of France

Moreover, it’s not like we’re talking about a region on the other side of the world, those territories do confine with Israel.

Moreover, it’s not like we’re talking about a region on the other side of the world, those territories do confine with China.

The problem with legitimizing colonialism is you legitimize all colonialism. The argument that Morocco didn’t exist as a country is literally a zionist talking point for Palestine

Thanks for the heads up, I thought it was just normal tankie levels of incoherence.

Do you know what colonization is?

I hope it’s the former and he’s reinstated with back pay.

I didn’t realize there was an expiration date on colonialism, I guess Cuba should abandon it’s claim on Guantanamo Bay too?

Yes, if you think Hamas is interchangeable with the will of the Palestinian people, I think everyone should talk down to you.

What if all colonialism is bad and you shouldn’t pick and choose when to support colonizers?

Wouldn’t a neutral zone be 250m of each?

Also if you don’t like Africans, maybe don’t hold on to an enclave in Africa.

So you disagree with palestinian calls for BDS?

Pretty pathetic to put simping for China above solidarity with Gaza

This seems interesting, far more real than any LLM bullshit, but I couldn’t help but notice the demo video completely fails to capture blind spots.

Your known unknown are one of the most important parts of safe driving and speed regulation

The meat of the article is behind the paywall.

My theory is that

1. China has better integration between academia and industry - I’m mostly basing this off how in the US the academia is chronically underinvested so that the private sector can get it’s plunder of smart graduates, but when it comes to AI development you actually need academic knowledge of intelligence otherwise you’re just approaching it like an engineering problem

2. US companies are incentivized to spend more, the more broke they are the smarter they seem, so there isn’t really any incentive to improve in smart ways because you can just rack up a bigger bill with your investors and keep the circular economy going.

Would love to know what the recipe says though.
