yud, 15-year top of score chart of expert beginners
(e: s/p,/d,/ stupid phone)
bullet 4 is almost the plot of the film In Time (2011)
ah yeah, I've heard of play integrity. that shit should burn.
I saw a toot recently showing a number of methods to deal with the general casual shit (such as checking whether something was installed from play store, etc). don't know if I stored the link, but might be worth a look around re the latter bits
(e: to be clear, not saying you're wrong for indicating those issues (which are entirely valid concerns), and all of this very much depends on whether user wants to even screw around with stuff. just mean to point out that there are definitely some workarounds and options kicking around, although personally nfi how extensive they solve)
aesthetics is not the domain of purely visual or simply physical
turns out this was prophecy
Peter Kyle MP insists that the data center “turbocharge” will create “thousands of new jobs.”
it’s astonishing to me that this line is being launched (and uncritically repeated in too many places), given how much outright multidimensional nonsense it is. I realize it’s sell-the-idea bullshit pushed by whoever provided the speech points (maybe even the money), but ffs
you are not tall enough for this ride
couldn't find if this has featured here before, so linking for others as I figure a few of you are likely to appreciate: destroy AI
bonus, learned about asrg and an art piece that goes immensely hard
fuck me that's a weird recursive hat trick
ah, right. now I'm curious as to context (I know nothing of the person)
the other poster was snarking at the person who did not understand, as you also do not
look for the word in there that features l and w. there's only one (I checked)
my take on it: just as the first goal of a bureaucracy is to ensure its own survival, the same applies in politics. but with the extra flavour that it's not only your own incentives but also all other incentives to take into account in your actions. under "normal operation", by necessity you must allow the environment to influence if you wish to flourish. wartime, great suffering, great hunger, etc - these lead into times when you can make drastic changes against the grain and not necessarily be punished for it. at all other times, you need a lot of political capital and machination to bend everything around you all the time
it may also help to understand that these people operate on a very different .. ruleset(?) to what you would expect of another random human. the social contract is entirely different (not purely because of class/money/etc, but also not separate from that). it's literally that their thinking and shit is state-shaped.
paragraph starts:
AI is a cruel technology
I was trying to figure out how to make a really good [lisp machine intensifies] without overly relying on history, but you got me beat here
seeing dan in the authors list made me realize
it's amazing that the paper site has its own little pretty marketing pictures. easily digestible unseriousness!
still amazing to me that the pillers and "anti-woke" and all went so deep on the matrix, given that it was a trans allegory. way to miss the point, chumps
so apparently one of the weird creeps went to go shittalk europe (video, transcript (archive))
it's some full-on doublespeak and utterly wild shit. some of the best tho:
The US innovators of all sizes already know what it’s like to deal with onerous international rules.
"waaaaaaaah how dare you have your own rules we need to care about, so hard"
