In this case, I’m a spaceflight fan, so I like talking about the topic. Also, I don’t do it for this specific poster, its clear they didn’t even read the article or understand it, but for other that may be thinking the same vague question (because of a flawed premise) that this poster did.

Wouldn’t it make more sense for Brazil to send up their own satellites with rockets that are already capable

I’m assuming you mean “rockets that are already capable” from other nations? Brazil already does this.

than to waste time, money, energy and

Brazil isn’t wasting any money. This is a South Korean company launching a South Korean satellite from Brazil. In fact, Brazil is benefiting financially, which could, to your original point, feed more people because they have the money from these launches.

hurt the environment by trying to launch their own?

Funny enough, launching from places like Brazil is actually less environmentally damaging than launching from the USA, China, or Russia because this Brazilian launch site is on the equator, meaning less fuel is needed to launch from here than other nations with spaceflight programs. This geography is why Europe’s launch site is also pretty close by in French Guiana.

So if your concern is less environment impact, you would want MORE of the worlds rockets to come from here.

I’m not saying Brazil doesn’t need to launch a satellite, I’m saying they don’t need their own rocket program.

As already stated, this isn’t a Brazilian rocket, nor a Brazilian rocket program.

I already addressed that. There are more problems that humanity needs to solve that spaceflight can address.

I like a California roll, and I like that its all veg and grain, so I’ll choose it when thats what I’m looking for, but there are many other rolls I like more. The avocado isn’t a selling point except that its not meat or dairy and there are times I’d don’t want to eat either of those.

Guac is still “meh” for me. Again, I’ll eat it if its there, but I don’t seek it out.

They don’t need more.

How do you know? Feeding people isn’t the only problem facing humanity, and its not only problem spaceflight can address.

Spaceflight helps feed people.

So no, then. Because even if they were told that (and I don’t doubt you that happens), that recruit knows they’re talking to a uniformed US military recruiter and is actively engaging they are discussing joining the US military. They also know the US military has a long history of fighting hot wars. Any possible recruit the recruiters are talking to grew up with 14 years of Afghanistan war on the news.

This is nothing like being told you’re going to be a body guard of an oil company exec or pop star engaging in civilian activities in another country, which is how it sounds like these folks were sold on joining.

You must be fun at parties…

The guy at no time said US was the same as Russia. He simply said the shitty tactics in recruitment by lies is similar.

If he (and consequently you) are going to be vague about your definition of your definition of the word “tactics”, then you’re going to elicit a response that can assume the worst. The tactics specifically called out here in the article are about Russian operatives employing locals in another nation to recruit front line fighters under false pretenses in yet another nation. Thats a tactic. That’s the prime differentiator as to why this article is news.

He simply said the shitty tactics in recruitment by lies is similar.

Nothing about those tactics is similar to the way the US operates. Then you have this poster making a statement which can largely read they are accusing the USA of the same thing. It doesn’t help that the person you’re talking about is a “.ml” user whose lemmy instance has a long history of defending Russia.

Military recruiters in the states lie all the time about work, benefits, and so on to young people and then when they get shipped out to wherever.

Then OP needed say THAT, instead of his vague statement. Military recruiters aren’t lying they are recruiters nor are they lying they’re recruiting for the armed forces to fight wars.

Young people these days…

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn’t mean they’re young.

You’ve heard private companies offer foreign nationals VIP bodyguard jobs, but in reality its the US government that ends up sending those new hires to be front line mercenaries in an active war zone?

That is very VERY different than a uniformed US military recruitment sergeant operating out of a well marked suburban recruitment office offering teenagers adventure, money, and free college to get them to join the US Armed forces.

Avocado is fine, but its not something I seek out to eat. If its included in a dish or in a meal, I’ll eat it, but I don’t find it especially enjoyable. I’m even a big fan of most fruit and veg, but avocado its kind of forgettable if you ask me. I do like cooking with avocado oil though for its high temp usage and health benefits, but I don’t really find the flavor of the fruit in the oil.

The lemmy instance you choose (for example, you chose .ml) to join will have its own tone, flavor, rules, politics. You will find instances that are left, right, and center. Additionally you will find some that are VERY far-left or VERY far-right. If you are finding the tone for the lemmy community (equivalent of reddit subreddit) different that your position, it may be because its hosted and moderated on an instance with that particular bend.

You may also experience some judgment from others because of the instance you are coming from as it can communicate some of your positional bias. Some users have chosen to relocate to other lemmy instances once they get an understanding of what ideas live where.

All of that said, while lemmy and the fediverse has a much smaller userbase than Reddit, it is so much nicer here. My last post to reddit was over 2 years ago, and every post I hear about how bad it is getting over there confirms this is the better place here.

Huh, is this why I’ve been accused of being a bot before? I’ve been using the noun-verb username format since the late 1990s.

Sign up for a Pilates membership. Go regularly. Seek to make friends. Work on improving yourself in that class. The group will likely be mostly women. Now, your goal is NOT to find a mate in that class. Don’t be a creep. Embrace your inner warmth and genuinely and build friendships. Don’t fake this. Those women know other women that are looking for a mate, and would recommend you if you can be a genuine human being.

I read the article, and the title is a pretty decent summary. AI is being used to find a never-ending supply of bugs (a number of which are trivial at best). The issue that not only are the bugs being found by unlimited resourced AI, those same processes are revealing them to the public after a time. This is placing undue burden on unpaid volunteers. So “FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs”.

For gaming I wonder if it could be underclocked and undervolted to get the power consumption down. Since its essentially RAM starved for alot of other games, it may not be able to take full advantage of the CPU/GPU and a slowed-down, but lower power consumption unit, might still play games of certain era’s just fine.

The available RAM is pretty anemic, but that sounds pretty cheap for a fully functional PC with a GPU. It mentions an RDNA2 GPU, which that family apparently has had successfully TensorFlow-DirectML running on it.

Electricity consumption would be an issue, but I wonder if these would make good machine learning training compute nodes.

For the purposes of framing your question, are you meaning:

• commit to a single person in a monogamous relationship long term?

or

• commit to a legal construct of a relationship such as marriage?

There are different answers for each.

The left begins at socialism.

If you’re talking about the political spectrum I would think the extreme far left would begin at anarchism and eventually graduate to socialism as you move farther right.
