Awesome. It'd be pretty cool to generate maps with a certain style from descriptions of areas/towns/etc like this. A big problem would be the lack of consistency in the internal model though, which is a really persistent prob

Why is this here? This is just Chinese government propaganda.

Do you mean the other way around? Pepper spray is illegal in the UK ( https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-controls-on-offensive-wea... ) but its legal in all states in the US.

Isn't this situation the entire purpose of Signal..? Don't they already operate in the most authoritarian countries in the world? I don't understand why they would walk.

Honestly this my favorite type of startup: a small company trying to do something insane, previously restricted to very large and resource-rich companies. Actually disruptive. Jim Keller is still CEO of Tenstorrent right? If so then is this

Honestly any kind of obsession with Musk is weird, and this is included. What happened to the exodus of people leaving Twitter for Mastodon saying Twitter's collapse was imminent? I've seen people coming back after making such a d

I remember once upon a time I thought C was fairly simple, so I decided to write a program to generate ASTs from C programs. I was very wrong and it was kind of a nightmare. There are so many weird little quirks or lesser-used features that

unlocked ring? the ring buffers are lock free. I'm not sure it stands for userspace since the ring buffers are shared between kernel and userspace, thats the core of io_uring, so that seems kind of misleading.

I guess the burden of proof for being a flight risk is reasonbly high? Which makes sense? As long as the bail amount is reasonable for the individual (its not too much that they cannot afford, but its enough of an incentive for them to reap

Fair point, but at the very least the bias of the articles/sources should be taken into consideration considering the widespread anti-semitism and historical context of such. from the salon article "Hanen "acknowledged that [

My support for the ADL has waxed and waned, me also being Jewish, so I can understand the skepticism. Interesting. Good article. I can see some of the acts may have been blown out of proportion, and I think it is dangerous to paint _all_ pr

Did you happen to read the ADL report at all..? Because those attacks definitely sound anti-semitic.

I still don't understand why people think that the level of information that the public is aware of is somehow the exact same as the USG has. Not to mention, knowledge of what truly when on is heavily compartmentalized within the USG a

I mean thats being pushed onto the Chinese domestic population, probably to drown out any coverage of the balloons for them. Maybe its bleeding over to US media but I suspect its more propaganda for them than a concerted propaganda effort f

Probably people with not a lot of other options to turn crypto into some more liquid? IIRC most UK banks (including challengers) are completely hostile to anything crypto, so I'm not sure what options one would have.

Russia has been infamous for sowing division in the West using information warfare, and its no surprise that anti-West/anti-American's end up picking up pro-Russian propaganda which has become incredibly apparent throughout this w

What is the best way to mitigate the effects? I guess nothing for long distance since the radio waves need to bounce off the atmosphere, but what about for more local/direct line of sight?

I think the core problem of the anthropomorphization is calling it AI; intelligence is something usually assigned to humans, so people expect it to replace/substitute a human. So instead of thinking this technology augments existing wo

I'm not sure. It is impossible to theorize what Russia would do in the wake of that kind loss, nor is it possible to theorize the conditions that would trigger the use of nuclear weapons and in what way. The last time nuclear weapons w

That also reminds me of Her (2013) and the departure of the AI's, leaving the humans behind. That would be a rather depressing outcome as a human, AI finding alien life but leaving us all behind.

that doesn't make any sense though. UFOs dont get people interested in "space". if its aerospace then rockets and spacecraft do that just fine, and if its hard sciences then there are a billion other cool, real things. the MI
