Zionists never wonder about the millions of hostages Israel has. Got reminded the other day that to leave Palestine it costs serious $$. Like more then the average American could scrounge up, let alone a person in the middle east (even outside of a blockaded, bombed, and de-industrialized place like Palestine). Last quote I was hearing was minimum $1-2k, 2 years ago. Likely at least double now.

Real "I don't think, but I am smart" vibes from all these jerks.

We need a Nuremberg 2.0 but actually need to punish Nazis this time.

No more letting these freaks be free. If you can't behave yourself and not act like a Nazi, sorry, you're not going to have a free life. 100 years hard larbor or death, for everyone from the newest "agent" to the highest officer.

Source? @gork is this true????

$100 for 1m views??? Cheap asses. Ad payouts are all over the place, but one site I just checked has a minimum of 25 cents for 1000 views. Thats $250 for 1million views.

Why target their bounty when youtube will likely pay you double _{at minimum} for the same ai slop.

Mutually assured destruction brought to the logical conclusion.

(Gods,) D&D gods suck so much. I went in to BG3 knowing basically nothing about D&D lore, besides that it was generic fantasy. The first 2ish chapters were great because I didn't know how much people were being honest or if they were lying about things.

I assumed Shar was "true" evil, but also hoped Shadowheart was right in that she was a genuine source of comfort and hope for broken and hurting people. Just misunderstood by those outside her influence. Nope. Just evil-sadist.

It sucks, because I feel like Larian was going for a more ambiguous or at least creative style, but ultimately had to bend to the canon of D&D because fans/wotc can't accept anything that isn't "true to canon".

Same goes for elder scrolls lore. They got some good ideas in there, but its all weighted down by the worst most overused tropes in fantasy. They ultimately retreat to it for the "main" story. And its only gotten worse over time. Morrowind has you recreating a prophecy, possibly illegitamately, to beat the big bad. Skyrim... has you pick between two fascists.

Kobolds are good.

No I'm not biased.

Remember when everyone did 10% "inflation" last year?

So cool that the "free market" works on supply and demand and we can choose to not buy food to send a message to our market partners so they readjust.

Its really funny that us white people just reuse the same shit every time. Like, can't we get creative and say that X people are worse because of the angle the moon shines on America vs Africa or something. Endless possibilities in language, and the dorks always pick the same things.

Then again, a lot of the points are just "basic" talking points that have been reused since the beginning of recorded language. At least 3000 years ago we got some of the silly stuff.

Always had a mild fascination with super deep drilling. Absolutely wild that we know so much about what's going under the crust, despite the deepest holes going only like 1/2 the way through.

Basically, you're correct. All the rest below is just me blabbin'.

I read a bit about markov chains a few times, and we talked about them in a few of my comp sci classes, but I'm not an expert or anything. But the basic explanation of them is that its a function that returns the probability which state should occur next. A fancy way of saying "What the odds of X, Y, or Z happening".

The classic example is you feed the chain something like a book, or all the books you have. Then you can ask what's likely to come after a word, and it will either spit out a single word or it gives you a list of the likelihood of all words it "knows". Texting apps, etc, word suggestion algorithms most likely used them.

You can train them on some sample data, then "customize" it so it "learns" from what the end user types. So my phone likes to say one person's name after I type "hi" because I've typed "hi x" a lot. You can also have them "look back" more words, classic chains only look at the most current input. They're much more complex and the time-space-energy required to compute them, so in general look back has only extended a few dozen words (in general).

All of that might sound familiar if you've heard much about how LLMs work. Because (in my opinion) its the same. I haven't seen a compelling argument that LLMs/Machine Learning aren't reducible to Markov Chains yet. (In the same way all computers are reducible to Turing Machines. Both machines suffer the same limits, one just hides some of the math so a normal human can use them.)

That isn't to say they're more powerful (LLMs can look back a few hundred words fairly ok), but they suffer the same limits Markovs inherently do. IE: The output is only as good as the inputs, deciding the output is subjective (because you can choose either the most common, or pick randomly, or ...), and they fundamentally don't "know" anything beyond their state machine. They can't verify. They can't research. As of right now, both systems can't even look at their original inputs. (And if they included those inputs, that'd take on a few terabytes of data.) All those books, text messages, reddit posts, all reduced to relations of words represented by probabilities.

I swear feeding a Markov's output to itself was discussed in one of my classes, and the professor was like, yeah it improves it a bit, but if you do it more then X amount then the whole thing falls apart. This was before 2020, in undergrad classes. People 100% said the same about LLMs before they started posting online, and now the silicon valley dweebs are hitting the same problem. I swear tech bros, besides being the most hiterite prone, love to recreate disasters. Same happened with "crypto" shit and basic financial schemes.

TLDR: Fuck "ai". My AI class sucked because it was in Java, but at least we were making a silly game AI (specific game withheld for privacy, but it was 20+ years old). If they're not talking about min-maxing and search trees and master agents, and instead are pushing this crap, comp sci is overcooked.

Who knew the self reinforcing markov chain would do this?

Literally anyone with a brain in compsci 5 years ago? Nah that's "hallucinations".

Clearly wasn't murder, because it was justice. Of course the corrupt judges and "lawyers" will say it isn't, while ignoring the cop murdering someone running away after _maybe they stole a car. I know

""I’ve known Rodney since I was 15 years old. That wasn’t the Rodney that I knew. It was like his soul wasn’t even in his body," she told NBC News after the bond hearing.

"And I can only imagine what he felt when he saw that video," she said emotionally. "Because when I finally seen it, and I watched that video from the beginning to the end and watched my nephew drop, it was like my soul left my body. So I can only imagine how his father felt.""

Judge should order the immediate execution of every cop involved with the poor kid's murder.

No, and to suggest it is really insulting to all life on earth. Life, including higher life has survived multiple meteor strikes, biogenic atmosphere change (Great Oxygenation), supermassive volcanoes and related phenomena... I know I'm on the doomer community, but like, to think climate change is going to literally kill everything is a bit much.

Worst case nuclear war _probably wouldn't even kill everything. It'd set life back a good millions of years, and it'd be unlikely higher life reevolves before the sun expands too far, but life is literally everywhere, in very unique and resilient locations (deep sea vents, underground caves, etc). It'd take concerted effort to destroy all life.

And don't forget that the direct death count is in the 30-50 range. The UN says up to 4000 excess deaths over the 60 year post-disaster period. For the worst nuclear disaster. A disaster which can be prevented.

Compare that with the uncountable deaths yearly from coal burning. Which is a disaster that can't be prevented (except by not doing it). And thats not including climate change. The Chernobyl disaster is nothing compare to the social murder occurring daily in America.

(Not to mention the USSR relocated thousands of people out of the area. Compare that any of the thousands of superfund sites, where there is basically no assistance to leave. And if you do get compensation its after decades of legal battles.)

Also, please do not move turtles unless they are immediately in danger or in your way. They're probably fine and just goofing around (laying eggs, moving, or looking for food).

"The ruling means intelligence services can now monitor the communications of the far-right party." Lol even the FBI pretends to care more.

And how long until this somehow gets turned into anticommunism?

In Communist China, the Ruling Party chooses their own candidates and cancels local elections when their choice might lose.

Communism
