tricky, had to restart once

yes, that’s the only option left if one really wants to protest a post :D

The evolution of menopause and the mathematical impossibility of population growth are two gaping holes in the hypothesis that Paleolithic humans died at 25. Available data from modern hunter-gatherer societies also contradict the hypothesis that prehistoric humans all died very young: members of these groups who live to reach puberty have life expectancies between 60 and 70 years.

Is this about hiding the downvote count, or the downvote button?

On my solo instance I disabled downvoting. Reason for this was not long before setting up the instance, I read an article how downvoting stimulates some negative mental effects. Since then, there may have been one or two posts or comments that I actually wanted to downvote, but it’s been a while. If a post or comment rubs me the wrong way, I just move on now.

Still glad I did, couldn’t go back to an instance with downvotes.

Thanks for the explanation!!

If competent people in so many departments got purged, can we still call this incompetent? I think it’s about time we move over to malice.

not a spanish speaker in any way but I wonder: shouldn’t the adjective “naranja” follow as well?

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism is a 2007 book by Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein. In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal economic policies promoted by Milton Friedman and the Chicago school of economics have risen to global prominence because of a deliberate strategy she calls “disaster capitalism”. In this strategy, political actors exploit the chaos of natural disasters, wars, and other crises to push through unpopular policies such as deregulation and privatization. This economic " shock therapy" favors corporate interests while disadvantaging and disenfranchising citizens when they are too distracted and overwhelmed to respond or resist effectively.

History is doing a lot more than just rhyming.

I want to cheer

However, the issue is not yet off the table.

I will hold off cheering for now

Back in the day Morrowind on a Twilight disc. I’m not into fantasy at all, but that game took me for a spin that lasted many years.

Harder than anticipated

I thought this was about surplus value, not even mentioned.

Neither man was arrested on suspicion of Epstein-related sexual misconduct

Stop the bullshit Guardian. I thought you were independent, for whom are you massaging this story? As far as I know no one is currently arrested, and no one is under active investigation for participating in (Epstein-related) pedophilic rape.

I was forced to (European) catholic schools until 18, never heard this. I did see my share of gruesome anti-abortion videos though.

The ship cannot be impounded. Also, the minister of defense also seemed to imply the ship had no goods on board.

Our country constantly monitors incoming ships to verify their identity. If a ship has no flag or a fraudulent flag, it is considered de facto ‘stateless’ and any state may enter and inspect it.

But chaining it up is more difficult. In the past, there were legal and practical obstacles to this: according to international maritime law, sailing without a flag is a criminal offense, but according to Belgian law, it is not. So boarding a ship for inspection is allowed, but seizure is not normally allowed, although the situation is legally complex.

Translated from the last paragraphs of this article in Dutch

The Savage Empire, a game I played a lot as a kid.

On Friday afternoon, Anthropic learned that the Pentagon still wanted to use the company’s AI to analyze bulk data collected from Americans. That could include information such as the questions you ask your favorite chatbot, your Google search history, your GPS-tracked movements, and your credit-card transactions, all of which could be cross-referenced with other details about your life.

So that’s what OpenAI will now do for them…

Anthropic had not argued that such weapons should not exist. To the contrary, the company had offered to work directly with the Pentagon to improve their reliability.

…

this impasse over autonomous weapons could be resolved if the Pentagon would simply promise to keep the company’s AI in the cloud, and out of the weapons themselves.

djeez… Anthropic does not come off as nice as before
