  • I think it’s good that you’re trying to back your claims by sources / papers but your response tells me that you’re not trained (yet) in reading papers critically. Those are just some random question that came up from the top of my head and that any scientist would ask if someone were to present the findings of this study at a conference. This kind of rigor, to not blindly accept results but to critically evaluate them and poke holes in the arguments is what makes academia academia. I’m kind of surprised that you throw around papers and then get offended if people don’t blindly accept whatever you say, it’s kind of an interesting appeal to authority fallacy.

  • Or might just have reported more vs others, which idk but would be similar to e.g. sexual violence statistics in Scandinavian countries where officially they have much more harassment etc. than other countries, but this is just because women are more encouraged to actually go to the police and report it.

  • I can’t be bothered to read the paper, but here are some evergreens that make this result hard to interpret:

    • The sample includes women from all ages and boomer Karens would not report abuse
    • On the other hand, being bi or lesbian has only been accepted by society since the last 10-20 years. Don’t believe me? Just watch some 90s sitcom like Friends.
    • Being bi or lesbian still comes together with a special type of discrimination that a straight woman most likely will never experience; hence, straight women are potentially less sensitized to abuse / might have a different bar for what they consider abuse
    • Putting together these very different groups of people with very different experiences on what is "normal" will result in them having a very different sensitivity towards what they would consider abuse
    • In other words a young, bi/lesbian woman is probably more likely to report abuse than an old straight woman, an old lesbian woman who is just happy might never engage with researchers because of the past societal stigma that makes her keep her life private

    Of course we don’t know any of that, but these psychological studies are difficult to conduct because in theory you’d have to account for these effects and in practice that might be impossible. But again, I haven’t bothered to read the whole thing just to prove a point.

  • I voted for Harris

    Could this be any clearer?

    I honestly don’t know anymore what to do with this blue MAGA bs. You can say that you ate Harris out while voting for her but you don’t agree with her pro genocide stance and because you said one critical word they’d still tell you that you made Trump happen somehow?

  • And then you exchange Orban, the right wing dipshit with another, new right wing dipshit, I know it’s the only way to get rid of the Russian spy balloon but it’s not exactly freedom Hungarians would be getting out of this.

  • What’s there to watch? They’re a Nazi quasi dictatorship and you can watch in real time how the political elites there radicalize more and more. Will we express our concerns when they lock up LGBTQ+ people? Will we strongly condemn when they’re being put in concentration camps because Orban realized you can get away with anything nowadays?

    We’re way past the time where we should just watch, idk what to do exactly honestly but a first step could be to freeze all assets and block their vetoing rights. I don’t want to seem them leave the EU because of all the exile and anti-Orban Hungarians who’d be punished similarly to what happened with brexit though.

    Using Mac M2 Ultra 192GB to Self-Host LLMs?

    I’m doing a lot of coding and what I would ideally like to have is a long context model (128k tokens) that I can use to throw in my whole codebase.

    I’ve been experimenting e.g. with Claude and what usually works well is to attach e.g. the whole architecture of a CRUD app along with the most recent docs of the framework I’m using and it’s okay for menial tasks. But I am very uncomfortable sending any kind of data to these providers.

    Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of space so I can’t build a proper desktop. My options are either renting out a VPS or going for something small like a MacStudio. I know speeds aren’t great, but I was wondering if using e.g. RAG for documentation could help me get decent speeds.

    I’ve read that especially on larger contexts Macs become very slow. I’m not very convinced but I could get a new one probably at 50% off as a business expense, so the Apple tax isn’t as much an issue as the concern about speed.

    Any ideas? Are there other mini pcs available that

    Selfhosting GitLab?

    I’ve started building a small decentralized, non commercial app with a Rust backend + Node.js frontend running on k8s. I would have my own dedicated server for this. Just mentioning the setup because it might grow and for git there seem to be only GitHub and GitLab around and I prefer GitLab.

    I care a lot about security and was wondering if it makes sense to self-host GitLab. I‘m not afraid of doing it, but after setup it shouldn’t take more than 1-2 hours per week for me to maintain it in the long run and I’m wondering if that’s realistic.

    Would love to hear about the experience of people who did what I’m planning to do.

    EDIT: Thanks for all the answers, trying my best to reply. I want CI/CD, container registry and secrets management that's what I was hoping to get out of GitLab.
