Won’t anyone think of the Tu-95?

I’m not arguing about the targets, I’m arguing about the civilians that were carrying bombs and were killed carrying those bombs unknowingly, some of whom were children.

And just a tip: it doesn’t help your credibility to ask the people you’re disagreeing with to walk you through the basics of how discussions work.

I’m just trying to figure out where the goal posts are.

It’s a pain in the ass to search anything in the internet. The ISIS connection was common knowledge a few years ago, it was all over the western press, they were heavily praising it, it went on for over a decade. But this is a more recent article. https://thecradle.co/articles/russia-warns-washington-sending-isis-fighters-to-ukraine

Hello CIA? Yeah your guys are here.

Again there’s one bajillion North Koreans sneaking into Kyiv right now, click here to donate.

And yes the Georgians were trying to invade ossetians and wipe them out. But Russia luckily intervened quickly.

Yeah if only they hired this guy, then they’d have the proof.

none of matters as far as what I was saying

Then why did you say it?

The Ukrainians brought ISIS guys from Syria to help in the ethnic cleansing

Georgian government was ethnically cleansing the ossetians.

Yeah the Russo-Georgian war was fought because Poland was trying ot get an accelerate NATO MAP for Georgia in April of 2008. The Russians claimed a genocide kill count of 2000 in August at the start of the hot war. The Ossetians claimed 500. The hot war lasted 1 month. In December of 2008 the MoJ came up with 162 bodies, and no actual physical or circumstantial evidence. Then they stopped talking about it forever. I dare you to find any actual evidence.

essentially militias formed from Ukrainian civilians who were fighting in resistance of their own ethnic cleansing by the Ukrainian government.

The ethnic cleansing argument is as tired for Ukrainians in Ukraine, as it is for Russians in Ukraine (and Russians in Georgia). It’s a show put on for liberal international political discourse and nothing more. The “self-defense” forces in the DNR went on to ethnically cleanse Romani’s in the same way that the Ukrainian Nazi gangs in Kyiv did.

This is such a tired trope and simply used by whoever wants to add moral weight to their POV. There aren’t significant meaningful differences between perpetrators, their behaviors and frankly their ideology here.

people’s militias, who were arguably civilians.

Yeah this is not correct at all in regards to Geneva.

Both Ukraine and Russia have been using this tactic to a significant degree. Russia does this with civilians delivering packages inside of Ukraine, Russia often targets things like city infrastructure, police stations, energy infrastructure, etc. Russia also has used commercial international couriers for mailbombs. A number of these in Ukraine have been delivered by teenagers who were killed in the blasts. Both countries intelligence agencies are fishing on Telegram promising $600 to $1000 American for either delivery services, or outright assembly depending on target/ tactics.

Arguing about this is pointless because this is why war is bad.

This is only really useful in low expressiveness languages where there is not a huge set of language enhancements possible through libraries. Think Java exception handling for example.

In essence it works if you “best practices” are things like don’t use switch statements.

It doesn’t work if you best practices are things like use Result<T, E> from this functional result library.

Essentially LLMs don’t really work “at scale” if you need anything more complicated than what the average internet tutorial code is in your language.

Same with perf.

Also this only works 60% of all the time though if that, so the more requirements you pile on the less likely it will hit all of them properly.

I would equivocate this with RC’s, steroids, plastic surgery, etc. It’s a fuzzy line but there’s generally a line based on health and safety that this kinda stuff crosses. There’s a real danger regardless of your gender in body hacking communities, nobody knows this better than the thousands of straight men who are killing themselves slowly by their 50’s because they treat their dysphoria by cyclically exacerbating it. In those communities, like in many body hacking communities, these plain table stakes are something newcomers do not typically understand.

And because the body type and image are in and of themselves typically a media product in our culture, nobody actually understands the work / maintenance needed until they’ve done something they cannot undo.

Nobody that’s serious in the DIY HRT space is pushing a product nor are they pushing using research chemcials to the degree that this crypto based company backed by forum posters is.

Lol the suggested hardware for usable performance is ~$50k MSRP for the GPUs alone and that’s an SXM5 socket so all proprietary extremely expensive and specific hardware.

My PC currently has a 7900 XTX which gives me about 156 GB combined VRAM, but it literally generates 1-3 words per second even at this level. DDR5 wouldn’t really help, because it’s a memory bandwidth issue.

TBH for most reasonable use cases 8 bit parameter size quantizations that can run on a laptop will give you more or less what you want.

What’s funny is that the only time this was attempted was by the USSR and Chile in the 70s when they were trying to computerize this information for purposes of economic decision making. Nobody else has done any publically available cybernetics work.

From my perspective making software, it’s improved. Prior to 2016, I had to be the one pushing WCAG standards. After 2016 it’s been explicit customer facing criteria managed by product managers.

The Western liberal model is taught and propagandized as the deonotological right to vote of an individual to vote forms the basis of “freedom” and trumps the outcomes of voting. Meanwhile for Whole Process People’s Democracy the right of the people change government policy to their needs trumps an individual right to vote. Whole Process People’s Democracy does not meet deontological frameworks that represent “free and fair elections” and it literally does not matter. It doesn’t matter because there’s a gulf in the outcomes for normal people between Western liberal voting systems and WPPD.

US has proven that the Western model for deontological voting and “free and fair elections” is essentially irrelevant to meeting the needs of a people because of it’s various failures. In that same time period China has proven the same but in the opposite direction because of WPPD’s successes.

If you look at typical liberal reactions to descriptions of WPPD, it’s always the same “YOU DIDN’T TELL US HOW TO VOTE!” bullshit. They need to be lulled by deontoloigcal individualist technicalities. After you give them those things they’ll buy whatever slop you sell them.

This was 60% of people on TV in 2002.

Is the kind of anti-intellectualism that I’m seeing plastered all over the internet. Maybe it’s confirmation bias on my part, but I swear that people are getting increasingly pissed off with having to read anything.

I think this strain of anti-intellectualism is actually a lot better than what we had in Bush II.

The strain is passively anti-intellectual, not aggressive like the Bush II years. I think that a large portion of it especially from younger folks is really about the fact that the doors are closing, and that being curious or educated doesn’t actually benefit you in the way that it used to. In essence Bush II anti-intellectualism was based in a perceived slight. It was a “oh you think you’re better than me?”. Conversely, “I ain’t reading all that” to me is more of an admission of intellectual capacity mattering less in people’s daily lives.

They very much lines up with elite over reproduction, and the labor crisis that’s happening globally including in AES countries like China where they have a huge unemployment issue with recent graduates. I think it’s reasonable (but ultimately wrong headed) to deduce based on what’s happening in the world that education isn’t an unalloyed good. It’s expensive, it’s difficult, it doesn’t have the same economic benefits it did 10 years ago let alone 20 or 30, and it makes you feel bad about yourself and the state of the world.

Intellectualism has been sold as a means to and end, rather than something intrinsically valuable, so it’s not a surprise that the foreclosure of the future is leading people to anti-intellectual conclusions.

Honestly regardless of your opinion on AES countries vis-a-vis sectarian knife fights, the one thing that AES countries like China and Vietnam are doing is proving out that the consequentialist model of people’s governance can deliver material gains from a position of weakness under direct threat from global capital compared to deontological VOTE Westoid ones.

Regardless of China’s future in respect to communism, it’s proved out a better governance model. If liberals had any fucking brains, they’d be creaming themselves over a country that can deliver that level of material gains to the poor and middle class and still have the most billionaires in the world. It’s the compromise they’ve been dreaming of, but they’re too stupid to realize that.

Just a reminder that Reddit was once difficult for people to understand.

I honestly don’t believe this at all.

Snapshat was popularized by a generation that grew up only using apps, and it was designed to be obtuse, mysterious and difficult to learn in comparison to other apps as a feature. It grew regardless.

To be honest though, I’m a bit disappointed by the other users here. The quality of comments is really poor, both idiotic and adversarial. I’m talking fox news comment section level.

Yeah so is reddit. The best moderation and engagement in fediverse typically exists in the highly moderated communities that people constantly complain about not respecting their freeze peach and antisocial tendencies.
