They are saying:“The idea that the Harris campaign didn’t pledge enough support to Israel as a justification for her loss is equally as insane as a typical qanon conspiracy theory”

Not even the pope

Considering he asked twitter programmers to print out their pull requests Im not even sure he’s not cosplaying a programmer

Ukraine is losing ground. Unless something changes, they will eventually lose the war.

The things required to stop that will necessarily be escalatory.

The West needs to fucking swallow that pill instead of endlessly fretting about escalation. Do you think Putin is worried about escalation? He just brought North Korea into the war.

Ukraine will be a smouldering ruin and Russian troops will be amassed at the border of the NATO Baltics licking their chops and the big brain west will be saying “Thank goodness we were so responsible in the Former Ukraine”

No it won’t. Korea is already there.

Let me tell you what ACTUALLY starts a world war.

Russia wins in Ukraine, spends 8 years building up forces and getting even tighter w/ china, keep chipping away at NATO unity with useful idiots like Orban, and then they take a crack at the Baltics.

THAT’S how WWIII starts.

Right now the masks are all still on. What happens in Ukraine stays in Ukraine. This is the only time to put boots on the ground that DOESN’T start a world war.

I completely agree that if there are tools that can allow a vehicle to “see” better than a human it’s absurd not to implement them. Even if musk could make a car exactly as good as a human, that’s a low bar. It isn’t good enough.

As for humans: if you are operating a vehicle such that you could not avoid killing an unexpected person on the road, you are not safely operating the vehicle. In this case, it’s known as “over driving your headlights”, you are driving at a speed that precludes you from reacting appropriately by the time you can perceive an issue.

Imagine if it wasn’t a deer but a chunk of concrete that would kill you if struck at speed. Perhaps a bolder on a mountain pass. A vehicle that has broken down.

Does Musk’s system operate safely? No. The fact that it was a deer is completely irrelevant.

Yeah. I mean, I understand the premise, I just think it’s flawed. Like, you and I as vehicle operators use two cameras when we drive (our two eyes). It’s hypothetically sufficient in terms of raw data input.

Where it falls apart is that we also have brains which have evolved in ways we don’t even understand to consume those inputs effectively.

But most importantly, why aim for parity at all? Why NOT give our cars the tools to “see” better than a human? I want that!

If you watch the video, the deer was standing on a strip of off coloured pavement, and also had about the same length as the dotted line. Not sure how much colour information comes through at night on those cameras.

The point here isn’t actually “should it have stopped for the deer” , it’s “if the system can’t even see the deer, how could it be expected to distinguish between a deer and a child?”

The calculus changes incredibly between a deer and a child.

Each of them only does it once, and thinks it’s just a matter of luck when it happens to someone else

Lol old Lemmy users chizzed

Oh well that settles it

4 billion a year to house 86,000 people is $46,500 yr/person.

$3875/mo/person

Being honest, with a budget like that I could rent an apartment in NYC that I can only assume is quite a bit nicer than a literal homeless shelter

Yeah I got a pretty nauseating explanation of “The June 4th Incident”

To be fair, if they’re driven by an LLM I would still expect it to be wrong.

Oh, no, I’m absolutely not trying to engage as if this person is holding the objective truth because they aren’t. I’m not either. They just have had a different brainwashing than most so I’m interested in the flavour. I’m interested in hearing their views, fact checking them, and using that to reverse engineer the intiontions of those who are feeding them a moral rationalization.

No, I was just trying to drag out of you how you see the incident without priming the pump. How does one minimize the killing of hundreds of unarmed students? I knew people like you existed, I just never had the opportunity to witness someone actually do it, and I was curious how it’s done.

You roll 20 additional days into it as a buffer, and count injuries as equivalent to murders, and let them happen anywhere.

It can’t be the “Tiananmen Square Massacre” for you because then couldn’t draw in PLA members who had heart attacks and died elsewhere that day because they weren’t at the square. You need to create a context where they’re all the same thing and the geography of place really damages the ability to do that.

You just dilute a massacre to make it not a massacre by expanding the time and places. Super interesting. It’s a distinctly different approach to propegands than you’d typically see in the west or Russia.

What what is called?

The incident?

Care to expand on the Tiananmen propaganda comment?
