My lukewarm take is that all this hate on AI is really just hating on big companies trying to squeeze money out of some new development. AI (or rather LLMs) are not the problem.

You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

Taiwan is incredibly pro-US, one of our staunchest allies in Asia, together with Japan. Great idea pissing them off.

We do this in Ruby all the time, we just prefer methods over variables, usually.

Let me preface this by saying I am 100% opposed to the way the war is currently being fought by Israel and it should be brought to a complete ceasefire today if not already months ago. I am in no way on Israel’s side in this in any way.

This article is bullshit. This person attributes this horrible phrase to “THE WESTERN PRESS” which is absolute idiocy. It’s a single opinion piece in one online magazine that uses this phrase. Is the author reprehensible? I would say yes. Does he represent all Western media? Of course not. Jesus Christ.

If you’re propagating this nonsense you are part of the problem.

“I think Israel is doing bad things” answer: “Oh so you’re an anti semite and you love Hitler?” or “I think Hamas’ actions were bad” answer: “Oh so you want to ethnically cleanse Palestine and give it to the Jews?”

One person makes a reprehensible statement and immediately all of “Western Press” is evil. Absolutely ridiculous.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

Blasting is all fine and good but they should’ve slammed them really.

It might not work eh? Might it though? I hate this kind of weasel headline almost as much as the constant “slamming”. Just say what you’re going to say.

They just said it is optimized for gaming and has a toggle to “optimize the CPU drive”… Can’t wait for this technological marvel.

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

The big problem is that one usually leads to the other. Saying politically unpopular things in a way those governments perceive as threatening often leads to more than just administrative fines.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

Or business decides all specs and design decisions that were made last quarter were actually garbage and yes we do want to be able to manually override every step of the carefully designed state machine. We’d like to be able to manually change all calculated sales data, but also the data needs to remain in a consistent state at all times. Oh and while you’re there, we decided the commission calculations will use a different system from now on. We expect it to be online by the end of the week, thanks.

I’d like to see those little city cars added here, those little two seaters that don’t go more than 45kph. Could be a good compromise for lots of people with limited mobility

Sure but that doesn’t answer the question. Maybe if there were a broad call from their other trading partners to take a moral stance but China is well known for not taking political stances they don’t directly benefit from. Again scoring some easy political points against the US is great but I don’t see them making any serious move here unless it somehow serves their interests (which is a perfectly rational stance to take, it’s not a criticism.)

You have any source on this? It’s one thing for the CCP to use this situation to make the US look bad but do they actually have any incentive to materially support Palestine? Seems unlikely they’d hurt their own trade over this.
