   Pitching in to say that there is some proton stuff to enable the draconian anticheats to work on linux if one is keen on running such a thing.

   You nailed it with the resource curse.

   It's not even poor people, in some "advanced economies" we're getting to a point where income means very little, and inheriting means a lot. I've only seen such a lack of empathy in teenagers or silver spoons.

   Thanks, will try to give it a read this weekend. Would you say that diffusion is the architectural change that opened up CO for neural nets? Haven't followed this particular niche in a while

   Using neural networks to solve combinatorial or discrete problems is a waste of time imo, but I'd be more than happy if somebody could convince me of the opposite.

   I hope they don't use Hungary as the scapegoat to pass this kind of stuff, the fact that something like Chat Control is even discussed is gross already.

    If we manage to harness the ego energy transpiring from some people working on "AI" we should be halfway there!

    I feel like the gist of this could have been "rent seekers bad", something I'd strongly agree with. A non-trivial part of society is checked out of real work and milking others dry because of existing conditions or acquired l

    Damn, is there some SAAS like notion or an Obsidian plugin to be able to take notes like this?

    As somebody from Europe I can't agree more about the moral superiority thing. Feels like Europe has cultivated its own version of "saving face" during the last decades.

    The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact could also be considered an integration of German and Russian geo-political interests to achieve a lasting peace in the region. Just surrender.

    I've read the book before but I guess I kinda forgot about this point. Scary.

    Same, it saddens me that some people are convinced that to have a safer society we need "harmless" (as in, ignorant) people rather than good people with an interest and a stake in the wellbeing of said society. Bad actors will hav

    Had a similar experience with Turkish Airlines, and I definitively agree on avoiding planes as much as possible, long-distance trains all the way.

    Thanks for taking the time to reply, really interesting stuff.

    I find your second paragraph especially interesting, do you have a source (e.g. a book) to get deeper into this?

    I didn't know that, but I guess that's not too surprising.

    Glad the site is rotting tbh, it wasn't great before and now it's so full of bots and propaganda it feels surreal. Posting and/or reading from Ukraine is even more surreal.

    Came by to say this. Had to deal with CF stacks at $PREVIOUS_JOB and 40% is just not enough to remove it from the "oh god I have to work with this again" area of my mind.

    Indeed it doesn't. Countless other interesting facts that relate Germany and Russia, politicians, banks, "journalists", etc. We do have to remember that half of it was under USSR influence, to be candid. In my opinion, the wa
