In between the Matrix in 1999 and 2011 you have 9-11, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, the 2008 financial crash. And that’s just the big US-centric stuff.

Seeing how the Germans, the Brits and others are already lining up behind Israel, I have no indication that a Democrat president would also not be. This is a “USA is an imperialist fuckface of a country leading a league of apartheid and genocide ebablers” problem not a “Trump is a fuckface president” problem.

Isn’t it the job of the opposition party at this point to propose legislation that outlaws this practice? To run candidates on a platform of reigning in these abuses? To run ads with scary music saying how the government is infringing on liberties etc?

Rural Republicans already fear three letter federal agencies: BLM, ATF, etc. Play to their fears, this very low hanging fruit, Democrats.

Frankly, I have way more often ended up scratching my head for some cryptic piece of syntax than the opposite. Sure I could sit down and spend the rest of my life learning each language designer’s favourite syntax optimisations, but I kinda don’t want to. I’m a human, not a parser.

And frankly, a good IDE editor should be able to fold/unfold verbose syntax. Better for it then to be there and folded, than for it to not be there and for someone to have to work backwards the intendrd meaning of every single line of code.

I don’t understand why verbose is bad. Verbose is maintainable.

Isn’t there a particular Nazi paramilitary that dresses up exactly like that? Those guys that were on a U Haul?

I think that’s exactly the reference here.

Absolutely.

I would just however push back on the implicit hierarchy in the way you write it, where cultural prejudice is a smaller degree of prejudice compared to racist prejudice. For example, a black American tourist in, say, N. Ireland, will probably face less prejudice than a white Romanian immigrant. It’s all intersections.

But it is based on race, just an older definition of race. There was a time when southern Europeans were classified as the “olive race”. In the bollocks scientific racist hierarchies of the time, that put them below the Aryans, but above the Semites and the blacks. The Nordicist racists of course considered themselves the apex, and looked down on the rest. In the US you guys still remember how the Irish, the Italians, the Greeks, the Poles, the Jews, were very slowly integrated into the category of White, meaning they were not always considered White.

The caricatures of the lazy southerners are indeed racist stereotypes of this past era and to claim that they do not persist in the modern era is kind of weird, seeing how so many other racist stereotypes persist.

Enlightenment has been around for 28 years. This means there is enough adoption for it to keep going on.

Americans and their Founding Daddy issues.

This is useful for dispelling the hype around ChatGPT and for demonstrating the limits of general purpose LLMs.

But that’s about it. This is not a “win” for old school game engines vs new ones. Stockfish uses deep reinforcement learning and is one of the strongest chess engines in the world.

EDIT: what would be actually interesting would be to see if GPT could be fine-tuned to play chess. Which is something many people have been doing: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=finetune+gpt+chess

Sure, but why?

Stretching

Wtf does that even mean?

This is oddly rhythmical/musical.

You obviously know better than the German paramedics.

A culture that obsoletes electronics every couple of years and enshittifies services every couple of other years cannot be seriously talking about MMIs/BCIs.

This is a light version of the Maralago face, the self mutilation with plastic surgery, like Noem, or Gaetz. The self ridicule that they entail is the point. This is telling the Leader “I’m irredeemably yours”.
