Thanks, haven’t seen this before.

I was not talking specifically about the BBC. On the BBC specifically, try reading through their articles, especially from early on, and tell me what the editorial slant is. Yes, most of the content is neatly wrapped in quotation marks, but

A few more examples: “40 beheaded babies” and mass/systematic rape propaganda accepted with zero verification (journalism 101) and, once debunked, zero retractions were made Hamas-run, but not Likud-run Condemnation of atrocities by Is

They’re saying it is ض, which is a letter us North Africans generally struggle to differentiate from ظ :) Also, afaik 9 is a ص in many countries, while 8 is a ق. But it is definitely my first time hearing of a 9 used as ض.

Thanks for explaining. But I am not sure how this contradicts my point? Sure, placing launch infrastructure in French Guiana is probably less risky than setting up shop in New Caledonia. Clearly, the risk profile is not the same for all o

by Cyph0n 10d ago
I wasn’t talking about the historical aspect. Same applies = the same risk also exists due to geopolitics and distance. Heck, didn’t New Caledonia see a wave of protests that were crushed in the past year or two?

It was a French colonial subject as recently as the 20th century. Regardless, a launch facility within Europe seems much less riskier long term from a geopolitical standpoint.

But French Guiana is a geographically distant ex-colony, so there will always be a higher probability of future inaccessibility. Same applies to New Caledonia, Martinique, etc.

A state of the art GPU is much harder to design & produce at scale and than an internal ASIC.

Even the homepage copy is LLM output. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to point out. > Charge a Kobo Clara BW (N365) and connect it over USB. Other models are refused, not guessed at.

The warchest is not enough: the NYC mayoral election and Michigan and Florida Senate (outfunded 16:1) primaries are good examples.

> In the end, people tend to believe what they want. Agreed. My point about complexity vs. simplicity does not apply to people who are coming in with strong, preconceived notions. Because how would a simple argument convince them of a ge

I would say something like “unions are more often good than bad and without them your children would today probably be working a 996 schedule”.

I get your point, but I think confusion requires complexity. Otherwise how would it be confusing?

But “Black = bad” is not a simple argument because you cannot make that argument without backing it with a bunch of convoluted nonsense (complexity). Likewise with illegal immigration. Racism never was (and still isn’t) simple. There were e

Funnily enough, your comment introduces complexity into what I see as a fairly simple argument. Also, I love how you pulled communism out of nowhere. A centrist would nod along with every sentence :)

by Cyph0n 2mo ago
Precisely. Bad actors desire complexity because it leads to indifference. The “good” side therefore needs to fight that complexity with simplicity and empathy. “Unions can be corrupt” or “You don’t need unions to get your voice heard” is th

I engage in online discussions for one of two reasons: 1. To present a viewpoint to readers through debating with one or more people. Crucially, in this scenario, I am not interested in winning over my interlocutor(s). 2. To convince some

Let’s just agree to disagree, although we will never know for sure given that Biden is a self-avowed Zionist who chose the path of unconditional support.

Your analysis will be downvoted, but it is absolutely spot on. One day, everyone will always have been against this.

by Cyph0n 2mo ago
You can argue all day long, but at the end of the day, the US has immense ability to exert pressure on Israel, starting with withholding UNSC vetoes. The Biden admin pulled no levers whatsoever. On the contrary, it went to great lengths to

I have always found the adoption loophole to maintaining a family business hilariously smart. I also understand why it’s not something common outside of Japan. Selling your family name in exchange for (maybe) keeping your business alive is

There is nothing inherently special about Japan or Japanese people. You can pull similar examples from many other countries.

I am assuming that Fil-C introduces orders of magnitude less overhead than ASAN or Valgrind. Also, it’s probably fast enough for apps to be deployed in something like a staging environment for integration tests to run against them. Producti
