I had an OLPC and lived with somebody who worked on the OLPC project at the time. One of the more bizarre twists of the project was that, I think in part because of the well intentioned but incredibly naive liberal utopianism of the project

Author here - would love to bring my plea to the broader Free Software community, but they have _so many_ different mailing lists, I don't know where to start with this kind of organizing! Does anybody have any ideas?

The crimes of the US don't excuse the crimes of Israel. I don't know why that's so hard for some people to grasp. Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_combat_aerial_vehicle... https:&#x2F

"I know you are, but what I am I" doesn't excuse Israel for its crimes. The US isn't excused either - that's the whole point I'm making: no special treatment. And yes, Israel does have a drone assassination pro

"Let that sink in" isn't an argument, and it especially isn't an argument that justifies apartheid. Nobody in Europe is saying Israel shouldn't exist, just that it should be held to modern western moral standards an

So because of events a thousand years ago the Israelis should be immune from criticism? Give me a break. Israel is an apartheid state and sensible people don't like that. And the right of "ancestral homeland" should be respec

They're also excluding vastly more information than they know about you - they're only showing your activity on Google properties, but not your activity on sites which use Google Analytics or Google Ads.. which is most of them.

If anybody is interested in AI/bioinformatics projects on AWS, I'm currently involved in a project to harmonize _all_ of the publicly available RNA data (many petabytes) into easily sliced, AI/ML-ready datasets for anybody to

I believe that RH is actually making their money off of the interest on spare cash in accounts. You can do limit orders in the app if you are particular about price. I don't have a source for this, other than I like the app.

I'll play devil's advocate here: I actually greatly prefer when people expose their biases early on rather than try to hide them through weaselly or bland language. I think immediate total aversion to nationally biased language is

I guess it's the difference between what they're calling "authoritarian states", the mustache-twirling dictators of the 20th century targeting their political opponents (a fetish in papers like this), and the _new_ form

The disturbing thing about this paper to me - flashy though it may be - is what they left out rather than what they kept in. OpenAI appears to only be thinking of the crimes-against-individuals segment of malicious AI, rather then the crime
