IMO, being outside of Meta (the company) space means being out of reality these days. But there are some things about socialism that would stick to the people you interact with. Like materialism: "Do you know that guy who talks a lot about you brain chemistry on instagram? So that's materialism, trying to reduce a person to something calculable." Something like that, you would have to adapt it to your circumstance. It's hard, but you have to deal with it. It's the people you care about or at least that you are obliged to deal with. Be smart about it.
Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before. After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one. ...
I'm brazilian and I have to say the opposite: smartphones are teaching people how to write, read and think quickly. In university scenarios, people are excited by the possibilities technology have made possible for them. People are willing that the country grow in stature. And that means deep philosophical meaning and so on. Also, Brazil is known for its diversity, so anything that is plus diversity will make brazilian people more willing.
I've read most of this comment section and I can't help but think that americans are lacking the meaning they once had. "Building pipe bombs made us smarter". ok. "television wasn't as bad as smartphones". ok. But the landscape changed and now there is the need for diversity. Time won't come back and that's fine, we as world don't need white predominant thinking to be back. We need something that will push us all forward, and that is not measuring and saying people are dumber and finding other measures to say the same again.
Let's just pull up everyone. You don't need to be dumb to wish the best for all. As the article says, friction is good. More social, more friction, more thinking.

I know little more from Japan than the mainstream culture knowledge. That said, Japan is said to be a place where people are cold and distant. So, things starting getting more social, they get more tourists, and then instead of relaxing in relation to the social sphere, Japan is like: "No, let's be more cold and distant.". Yeah, that will work.
Remote computing is very expensive. It's just the gated (owned by companies) LLMs that are cheap for the final consumer. Training a 2b LLM on remote compute will cost thousands of dollars if you try to.

I think it's important to understand the philosophy also. The free software movement traces back to being able to transform any software in order to function on hardware as intended by the user. This is necessary and is its base philosophy.
So you have a hardware that is unusable without property software. That is what is unacceptable by free software standards. And I agree.
I think this is important. Many science history textbooks highlight that the ancients got the measures right by 5% off or that the modern era scientists got the quantity of oxidation (phlogistic) off by 5%. So it's important to note that we are actually advancing in Science and that we are finding new horizons, not just repeating what the ancients or modern era scientists did.

Data from space missions is open for the scrutiny of every researcher and citizen scientist, right? It's good to have those things open so everyone can check.
Back in the early 20th century, companies needed licensing, would sell their product nationally. They were on the toolbelt of the government. Now companies are global and they are the ones who choose government; they don't even sell anything tangible anymore. They just say: "Let's organize to build these lot of datacenters, we'll organize it for you.", and they do it worldwide. No need to bring in value, they're just "politicians without borders".
Palantir only cares about one philosophy. The "philosophy of God". You may like some enlightenment figures like Kant or Leibniz, since the sense of hierarchy is powerful on the epoch, but that's about it. You're supposed to reverb/echo the "philosophy of God" or get out! Critical thinking without hierarchical thinking is just a pain on the ass for them, so you can "go home and eat our metaphysical shit" or submit to the Mathematical God which will create all the rules and philosophy we need.

Nearly three years ago, a particle from space slammed into the Mediterranean Sea and lit up the partially complete Cubic Kilometer Neutrino Telescope (KM3NET) detector off the coast of Sicily. The particle was a neutrino, a fundamental component of matter commonly known for its ability to slip through other matter unnoticed. ...
" In the chemical reaction unit, CO2 was chemically hydrogenated to methanol at a rate of ~0.25 g hour−1 g−1 catalyst, and the produced methanol was constantly condensed and fed into the enzymatic unit to a final concentration of ~100 mM during the first hour. In the enzymatic unit, the methanol was first converted to ~22.5 mM C3 intermediate DHA for another 1 hour by supplementing two core enzymes and auxiliary catalase (cat) and then transformed to ~1.6 g liter−1 amylose starch in the subsequent 2 hours by supplementing the remaining eight core enzymes and auxiliary components (Fig. 3A). "
I have noticed Nature articles (and Physical Review articles as well) are very well written and interesting to the general public as well.
Some journals articles from other journals are preoccupied with the formulas and data, but I guess Nature editors and publishers are also very preoccupied with the writing quality.
I'm not from the US. What are the chances that many people that are called "hispanic" are actually part of the acculturated original peoples that have been prived from their past?
I think the french are more pasty? Any child of a frenchman had lots of rights. That's how Haiti got to rebel, no?
Edit: I'm sorry, there seems to be a misunderstanding from my part. Pasty means pale! Now I get it! I think it doesn't make too much sense because America is a european concept for Americus Vespucius, so it's more Mexico than latin america. The spanish are kind white, but they are also very african because they were colonized by the Arabs from the Magreb and beyond.
Italians are kind of dark skinned also, maybe because of North Africa? I don't know. Anyway, the dark skin don't necessarily means the person is hispanic or a original person.
The problem here is the acculturation. I bet some people mark themselves as white for convenience, and there are all the darkskinned "hispanic" people. I don't know, seems kind of bogus to me.
Not children. People of any age. They're dark skinned, sometimes slightly dark skinned. They look like japanese, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're hispanic without a spanish surname. They're not told they're hispanic, they're just marked as hispanic by the demographics. They don't need to be told what they are for people to oppress them.
That's how it works: you mark someone as something and don't give a shit about what they think about it. Sometimes, the person just thinks: "This is how I look like, and this is what my family looks like, so I'm correct and don't know anything about this heritage thing.".
They don't need to be told anything, that's how it works.
That's good. It's similar to Brazil in the sense of recognizing and preserving tribal cultures. That's important, but it doesn't extend to all native people. There are movements here advocating for the recognition of the urban indigenous—people who live in the cities but aren't officially recognized as having native ancestry.
Even more, it's increasingly expected that there were big cities in the Amazon, featuring complex trade routes. However, this topic still needs to be studied more profoundly for various reasons.
It all depends on History, specifically how groups like the Aztecs in Mexico and the Inca in Peru dealt with the Spanish. Their elites were often made kings (or viceroys) in the early post-colonization period. That makes a significant difference in the subsequent social structure.
That's common culture/knowledge. But I don't know, seems like rubbish to me. If English colonization has different methods, what can you say about Trinidad & Tobago? And the English Guyana? Let's not go to Africa and Asia. It doesn't seem to be their "modus operandi" to me.
I don't think there is some big extermination plan for America and Australia. I think there's just something different to those places, but that requires more study. Not of the common knowledge kind. Why would you want some kind of extermination colonization strategy for Australia? It's weird. It's more of a "counter-study", but I believe there are people fighting the good fight out there. I'll put it on my list and research it.
