I know DoTA’s unpopular these days but calling it malware is silly.

Just kidding, this is actually incredibly interesting and hopefully won’t mean the end of arbitrary unicode on steam profiles.

KDE wayland has global hotkeys, so does hyprland. seems like a skill issue for Wayfire.

Yeah the open air slavery was pretty fucking worse than guaranteed human rights.

Do you? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_in_Hong_Kong

It was invaded by England and made to be a British Colony for decades where slavery was openly legal, HK had no control over its fate whatsoever, and the UK enforced a strict class and social hierarchy where native peoples were massively oppressed compared to Brits.

It’s actually genuinely disgusting you’re defending both imperialism, the genocide that the imperialism fueled, and violently hostile occupation of a foreign land.

Hong Kong is mainland China, now that they’re no longer under colonial guidance from England. There’s a reason Dr. Chan is so pro China, given the hell he grew up in in occupied hong kong.

The very short answer? Insecurity.

The slightly longer answer?

Many people get their sense of right and wrong, their morality, their entire identity exclusively from those around them, and never from themselves. They don’t even think they are capable of having any of that themselves; mainly because they’ve been told since they could barely misunderstand language that that’s impossible.

If your society disallows personal identity and forces you to pick from a preselected and made set of options then anyone not fitting those options is doing something wrong. Many of them legitimately do not understand why they dislike trans people or gay people or just people that don’t fit into the narrow version of society they grew up understanding was the limit of acceptable existence, they just know “it ain’t right.”

The existence of the Other, especially an Other that is incredibly proud and out about their existence, one who is not ashamed to not fit into any of the available options they’ve been lead to believe solely exist, physically causes them pain. Because it forces them to question, even subconsciously, if whether or not the entirety of their known existence is actually wrong. Because (statistically) that question was beat out of them at an early age.

Every child, at some point in development, encounters someone outside their “tribe” that they do not understand. They look to those around them for guidance, of course, but if in an independent environment (i.e. a sheltered white child meeting a black child at a playground mostly unsupervised) the child will show curiosity and then acceptance assuming the encounter doesn’t end in any perceived danger. That child automatically accepted the Other into their “tribe” without question, because without outside input and without any sense of danger, there’s no reason not to; however if that child did have someone in their ‘tribe’ close by that disapproved, or worse yet explained why they disapproved, that child will associate that interaction as ‘outside the tribe’ and develop discriminatory beliefs because that new person is not how “they should be.” They do not take any of the roles in the tribe that have been explained.

Now modern humans in modern times can break out of “tribal” thought. In fact most will try to at some point, early in their childhood, then again in their teen years, and finally if and when they are placed independently in a new environment in their young adult years (the college effect). But if there’s someone there at every turning point stopping them from gaining that independence, they will just withdraw and stay in that simplistic world view.

They are a {straight} {man/woman} who does {tribe-approved work role for gender} and {insert tribe approved weekly cultural activity}. If you differ, you’re a danger to yourself and others, and you must be corrected. Because obviously someone taught you to be different. And that someone that taught you was wrong because they themselves were different, and so on, back to {insert cultural reference about warring tribes (i.e. Lilith v Eve)}. You might not even be human.

All LLMs are neural nets, not all neural nets are llms, but they’re similar enough to have the same general flaws. 'Neural Networks" are misnomers, at best; especially given the designs were first being implemented before we had any real idea how neurons actually worked. It’s why Brain Organoid interfaces still completely destroy entire simulated interfaces in pretty much any task we’ve managed to actually train them on.

It’s also how we know we’re not close to the software or hardware capability to actually do anything complex. The best that we’ve been able to do is simulate a fly’s brain with a super computer.

Real answer:

Depends on who manages your 401k. Some servicers do allow ‘custom’ or otherwise ‘alternative’ management options, with some allowing you to focus on specific companies or industries.

Others might take your call at least and if you raise enough of a stink you might get shoved into an alternative plan out of spite, but that’s what you want, so you win.

Best thing to happen*

It’s been long since time for the US hegemony to end. Maybe which ever countries end up taking the mantle will not be quite as “invade, on average, 50 countries a year”-y.

It’s not any of that, and Americans don’t get to have opinions on slurs, for obvious reasons.

Well given that’s the only possible relevant “AI” you could possibly be talking about, as we don’t even have an inkling about true general AI and have no technologies that even look like they could produce anything close to it, forgive me for making the obvious assumption.

No, in 20 years no version of any technology currently in use will be replacing human employees or would have the capability of doing so. AI Bros jumped the gun and tried starting to do that with current tech, and now most companies are desperately hoping just throwing more compute power at the dead ends will make it magically work before the money runs out.

Because AI bros are incredibly deluded about both the capability of AI, and by extension their own capabilities using AI>

Hahah… no.

LLMs are a dead end. They will never come close to human capabilities.

To be fair that’s just Catholicism and not American Christianity ™®©.

Don’t get me wrong, American Christianity ™®© has its share of pedophiles, possibly even more than catholicism, however it’s usually straight because they just believe younger girls are more fertile.

The UK made Israel, all of the original zionists were Br*tish, most of the government are zionist despite a serious disconnect from the public on zionism, and the UK has hated brown people for the last 50 years as immigration has increased; Zionist Israelis, not being brown people, naturally get more sympathy.

Both negative (when bell, I will hit you) and positive reinforcement (when bell, I will give food) are associated with Pavlov’s dog experiments (for shockingly obvious reasons).

For PTSD and other traumatic things, this is an example of negative reinforcement; something bad happened and something neutral happened, now they are associated forever in the victim’s mind. i.e.

Soldiers seeing their friends get blown up while in a humvee and associating any music playing or the humvee engine sound with that scene.

When you have a ‘Pavlovian response’ it is a stimulus (bell) that makes your mind consciously or unconsciously remember the reward/punishment (food) that happened at the same time; causing an involuntary response (hunger/salivation in the original experiment).

That’s a lot of words for "i’m a pedo and I insist on defending pedophiles.’

An educated populace with trustworthy institutions would freely share information with the single largest research entity in world history

Bell. Dog. Food.

When bell, food.

Dog eat food.

When bell, give dog food.

Food when bell.

Dog learn food when bell.

When bell, dog expects food, because dog get food when bell before.

As you can surmise references to this phenomena are likening whatever action to the ringing of the bell, which makes the subject expect an action that has been previously associated with the bell, allowing for effective training. The Dog does not know why it expects food when the bell rings, just that when the bell rings it gets hungry and expects food to be there.
