Real science is trying random stuff until you get slightly better performance out of your model and then creating contrived explanations for why you think it worked

btw yann lecun is the head of meta ai so this is just a couple of rich dickheads having a slap fight

If America ever decides to get on the right side of this issue there are a lot of non profits theyre going to have to take a hard look at.

modern liberals have this interesting perspective that is essentially the opposite of “the ends justify the means” where the means are actually the ends. The problem is not the genocide or the exploitation, it’s the authoritarianism that necessarily accompanies those things. So if you were to use authoritarianism to destroy a fascist movement it is exactly the same thing as using authoritarianism to do genocide. It’s not the genocide or the destruction of fascists that is good or bad, it’s the means by which you do it.

i can imagine some kind of LRU cache being reasonably useful for this situation, assuming you have some latency hierarchy. For example if the desktop has an SSD, HDD, and some USB HDDs attached I can imagine you having a smaller cache that keeps more frequently accessed files on the SSD, followed by a bigger one on the internal HDD, and followed again by USB HDDs as the ultimate origin of the data. Or even just have the SSD as cache and everything else is origin. I don’t know if there’s software that would do this kind of thing already though.

You may want to consider zipping files for transfer though, especially if the transfer protocol is creating new tcp connections for every file.

i dont understand why this was treated on a case by case basis. How were some securities but others not? Most are just ethereum smart contracts.

The things that are happening right now are happening under biden though… why do you think it would get better when he has initiated the worsening?

I guess I should clarify that I’m not naive enough to think that this all started under Biden because history has inertia. Biden, having been VP before president and a Senator for many years before that certainly had an outsized contribution to the things that are happening now. The things that are in motion now are not going to be solved by Biden or Trump or really any of the entrenched political class in the west and pretending they are is just fooling yourself. They are too ideologically poisoned and are busy self destructing.

There’s what Biden is actually doing vs what people think Trump will do. You think Trump will worsen the genocide - but what does that mean, materially? Biden is already sending Israel all the weapons they want and giving them all the air cover they need politically. What more could Trump do?

Joe Biden, the most powerful person in the world, is completely powerless and it’s not his fault. Meanwhile if Trump is elected it’s the end of American democracy.

Oh sure let’s talk about LGBTQ rights and Women’s rights shall we. Under which president was Roe v. Wade struck down? Under which president have abortion bans in many states popped up with complete inaction from the federal government? Under which president have anti-trans laws popped up with complete inaction from the federal government?

My expectations of Trump is we will have a buffoonish worsening of the current conditions of the world. Under Biden we will have a cynical worsening of current conditions. Am I priveleged? Yes, I live in the imperial core. I live in a blue state. I have a stable job. But don’t think for a second that I can’t see what’s happening around me.

Trump is not to blame for the state of the law. The Democrats have had many chances over the years to protect the rights that the Republicans have said out loud, for decades, that they will remove. Time and time again they did not prioritize it. Biden was a senator and then vice president and then president during these opportunities.

None of your gripes here are Biden’s fault

Yes they are absolutely his fault. He has been deeply involved in the highest levels of government for decades.

unless you’re wishing he’d be more authoritarian (fuck that).

You don’t think throwing teenage girls in prison for getting an abortion after being raped is authortarian? How privileged to be able to say that freedoms should be fought for based on your personal opinion of the right way of doing it.

There was an article somewhere around november about a whatsapp group of pro-israel tech investors who got at least one person fired based on a pro-palestine linkedin post. This kind of thing seems to be happening a lot.
