   Huh, I'm not on bsky so I wouldn't know. To be clear, I was not talking about troll accounts, but about OSINT accounts that generally try to present accurate info and happen to be pro-Russian. E.g. when I was following this stuff

   The curvature scalar can be physically evaluated by measuring the volume of a small ball of freely falling test particles and comparing to its volume in flat spacetime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_curvature#Rel

    I don't follow the war anymore but I used to follow twitter OSINT accounts supporting both sides; I find it hard to imagine pro-Russian accounts posting on bsky or fedi?

    So the idea of networking multiple Mac Minis via RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 to run local LLMs is intriguing, but doesn't really seem reasonable at this price point? What are the more cost-effective alternatives?

    I think Nietszche's anti-egalitarianism makes many otherwise sympathetic modern readers deeply uncomfortable.

    The Shang dynasty is also kind of a propaganda nightmare, with all the archeological evidence for mass human sacrifice.

    I do think that Trump is irrationally attached to protectionism, but I also think that tariffs have at least 2 concrete benefits for him: 1) as a tool of economic coercion to achieve geopolitical ends, and 2) as a form of corruption to soli
