If only there were a European country that is investing in the drone technology like their existence depended on it…

I’m not the OG commenter, but for me this is important because I see how gpt is replacing search, I can imagine they will play an increasing role in news. Which has two sides. One is the fact that people will read news summaries dinner by a system with a bias. Second is writing of the news with the same bias.
We’ve seen this before. Machine learning systems that were trained on past human decisions also learned biases from those decisions. Court ruling suggestions stronger for black than white. Job applicant analysis favouring men over women. Etc.
There’s a good book about that, if you’re interested: “Weapons of Math Destruction” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_of_Math_Destruction
We’re all sick of the dozens of apps on our phones
That day when I realised I’m not part of “we all”.
Do I really need my calculator to have maps function?
If they’re looking for a good location, Hague is just perfect.
And do it begins. Musk wants to become the new Hitler.
How soon till we start making time travel films about going back to stop him?
So now they’re going to conscript him?
Fun fact. An average tenure for a CEO is 4 years. I will not be taking further questions.
Amen, brother! 🙌
I’m not saying they have easy choices. Or good choices. But they do choose. We all do. I’d even say life is all about making small, imperfect choices.
Around 100 have joined non-Russian institutes in order to continue their physics research work with Europe’s particle-physics laboratory.
Not exactly “completely out of your control”, I’d say.
Yes.
On 18 June 2020, the Russian government lifted its ban on Telegram after it agreed to “help with extremism investigations”.
Which means KGB has full access to all messages.
No, I meant an accessory as in:
An accessory is a person who assists, but does not actually participate, in the commission of a crime.
Of course we cannot. I agree with you that nobody is born evil or a criminal (even psychopaths are not guaranteed to become serial killers).
By all means, if not for propaganda, we would live in a very different world.
But the unfortunate fact is that they did consume enough of that propaganda to do nothing, or worse, follow the orders.
Yes, they are not criminals by nature, but what they do is crime or at least they are an accessory. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_(legal_term)
the answer is - it doesn’t matter. the biggest learning from the nazi germany was that you don’t need the entire population of a country to be homicidal psychopaths. all you need is a small group of those psychopaths, control or media, propaganda and you get a perfectly functioning system where normal everyday folks go to their normal everyday jobs.
just those jobs are in gestapo. or in maintenance of gas chambers. or making food for the equally confused soldiers.
of course, we should avoid civilian casualties as much as we can (but apparently russian army is not required) but the system needs to be stopped.
russia has cancer. chemoterapy is not a pleasant procedure that affects both ill and healthy cells. the alternative is, unfortunately, to allow that cancer to spread to the entire planet.
I believe the trick to avoid getting encircled is withdrawing before one gets encircled
Ukraine doesn’t need that land. russia cannot afford not defending that land. The moment it gets too “expensive” for Ukraine, they withdraw. But that will only happen after russia invests heavily into actually recovering their territory.
It’s like in chess when a knight is attacking two pieces at the same time. The one on defense can only choose a smaller loss.
Which is a win for Ukraine.
Don’t tell anyone, but I suspect it’s a pc with a GPU. Maybe even a hard drive. Wild!
thank you. came to the comments to say exactly this.
cloud could be cheap, but it’s a lot of work, or at least attention. people get disappointed with the costs, paradoxically, because cloud is easy and, as you put, versatile. and often between any two options allowing to do the same thing, the easier one will be more expensive.
the biggest irony of the cloud is that many companies it seems, just like different species evolved into crabs, discover that all they need is a couple of own servers in a managed hosting environment, a CDN and outlook.
That’s pretty much the point of banality of evil - you don’t need an extraordinary assembly of psychopaths to run a fascist regime. All it takes is a group of loud populists, generally discontent crowd and, boom, you have “make Germany great again”.
After ww2 finished, both Germanies discovered that they don’t really have enough people without Nazi past that could run the country. So most folks just went back to work to slightly renamed workplaces.
Does that mean they were not complicit? They were and the winners made sure Germans would learn about what they caused.
I guess the only excuse back the was that they didn’t know better. But we do.
This difficulty to believe it’s actually quite fundamental to what’s happening.
If you like, I invite you to imagine what would be the explanation if these numbers were true. (Even adjusted for being dead and wounded)
