Don’t get me wrong, I am with you on “might as well stand for something” - I just don’t agree with being the party to use WMD. Even if I had nukes and someone was sending their nukes to me, I wouldn’t fire back. What’s the point in taking everyone with me when I won’t be around anymore?
I’m fairly sure the divided states have more operational nukes than the rest of the world combined. Meaning nuking them will end with near total annihilation of the planet. Accomplishing what exactly?
Welcome to the sensible German’s approach to “patriotism”. Definitely after WW2, but absolutely relevant again. Our governments have been full of shit ever since, with surprisingly the only non-selfish head of state having been the conservative Mrs. Merkel, whom no one expected it of. She still did spearheaded a government with fucked up social politics, but at least not for personal gain (only for that of her buddies in industry) - which is arguably a low bar to clear. Anyways, the bottomline is: I’m a human first, European second, a lot of things then, and a German only by some piece of paper.
What would be wrong with saying “3 of their 4 engineers”?
Yeah, I’mma call bullshit on this. No sane boss refers to 3 out of a team of 4 as “75%”. Also, everything in the article sounds like a marketing person looking for excuses for his business not working out.
I’d argue that the “left”/“right” leanings are an oversimplification that no longer has a use in the complex world of today. I prefer to go with empathetic vs. egocentric. I want to live in a world of people that are empathetic and want everyone to have a good live. I do not wish to live in a world of people who only look out for themselves & then think “fuck you, I got mine”.
Ah great, it’s not just me pointing out this is 'murica at it again stirring up shit.
I’d not be so quick with the use of the word “substantially”. The amount of people murdered for opposing the illegitimate government is quickly equalizing.
Careful, from a first look at news there’s major misinformation spreaders around. And the protests are at least partially instigated/supported by the 'murica’s lapdog & Netanyahu’s bitch, prince Reza Pahlavi, and I’ll have you remember that the reason the İranian people are suffering the mullahs is because they rallied behind Ayatollah Khomeini to get rid of the father of that very “prince” because he was so awful and a puppet to the then-US, credit by Kissinger (may he forever scream in anguish in hellfire). It appears the American fascist dictatorship wants to really start WW3 by stirring up shit everywhere at once.
Yes, it would be great for İranian people to get rid of the mullahs, but not to have them replaced with a fascist lapdog.
No argument there. China definitely has the better and more advanced space program. The ISS might get extended again if it doesn’t break and once people realize there is nothing comparable ready by 2030/31, but yes, eventually, there will be no international nor western space station in orbit for the foreseeable future.
I would prefer for it to be an international cooperation - but we’re just fucking this up big time :/
Yeah, that is what I thought. Still, I was impressed when they launched it as announced.
Three what now? Do you mean three modules for one station? Or three consecutive stations, one testing technology for the next? E.g. a short time station, e.g. a crew vehicle? I am only aware of one station, Tiangong. Do I have to do another web search? :(
Ahahah. The host country agreed to those. That’s priceless…
You have identified what I also see as the only “use” for LLMs. Still doesn’t make it “AI” though, which is what my jab was directed at. However, maybe I should have pointed out that I do not dispute it can be used to mass-manipulate people :/ Sadly, that is entirely realistic.
Maybe wait for anyone to develop something even remotely AI before wondering about that?
Fuck shitter. Please don’t post links from that fascist platform.
The divided states are a hate-filled bunch of rag-tag counties occupying space on the same continent. In Europe, there is less (not zero) hate and people do not define their lives around Fox news.
Leaving the planet uninhabitable and killing off not only civilians as well as countless animals is the kind of pettiness that has me believe humans do not deserve to evolve.
