This actually great advice. There's always been the idea that we should heat people, not places. With improvements to battery technology I'm going to have to investigate heated clothing. Any recommendations?

I've not researched this - only read reports on the MSM - that installing an electric heat pump in the UK is thousands of pounds. If that's true then it's completely unrealistic for heat pumps to become mainstream anytime soo

You wear IFF coloured bands. From photos I've seen the Ukrainians are using yellow arm bands, and Russians white leg bands.

Russia is playing a game of chess. They have several moves ahead mapped out and an overall strategy. The West came to the game thinking it was tic tac toe... I don't think blocking swift will achieve the expected result, Putin will hav

Yes I can. A "modern military" isn't a guaranteed victory if your enemy is fighting in it's own turf in difficult terrain. The best armies in the world have failed to do this in Afghanistan (several times now).

Also agree. It's also an alliance mostly built on trade and laws, with some intelligence thrown in if the parties feel like it. The EU has stayed away from military allegiance.

That's just for rendering though isn't it? Brave are free (and do) add any features they like on top of that.

So I only linked to that BBC article to give some context... As you say it has nothing to do with Twitter, because as I said it's hard to give examples of people being blocked on Twitter for having perfectly reasonable and mainstream v

> I don't know that economic sanctions will be enough Plus gaining territory = more access to raw materials and labor. Perhaps that's Putin's plan?

Thanks, but dang could do a search and replace if that ever occurred?

Perhaps HN could automatically convert Twitter links into nitter.net?

You're right in that comparing modern antifa against 1940s Nazis, but I was comparing the modern incarnations of both (which wasn't clear in my post). As had been mentioned, the actions of both groups in current times is what I me

By being open source = democratising Bad actors start using ai to do bad things. Good actors use ai to counter bad actors. Or is that not what you meant?

Anything related to the trans row will get you banned from Twitter. Obviously it's quite hard to give examples, as you know there not in Twitter anymore. This lady is quite famous in the UK and is banned from Twitter for her not so ext

Are you serious HN? Why the heck has this been flagged?

by CodeGlitch 5y ago
Fortunately I think the age of social media might come to an end soon. When ai is strong enough to pass as a human (online) what's to stop the majority of accounts being ai-controlled by bad actors? We're already seeing the start

Yes this is why anything to do with ai should be open source. It can be too powerful in the hands of bad actors.

Pull-ups. If you work from home you can get bars that attach to doorways. If you've never done pull-ups before, you won't manage to actually pull yourself up. However you can "hang" which stretches out the shoulder and k
