newaccount7g··on Insecure vehicles should be banned, not security tools like the Flipper Zero
Really this a good IQ test for people. If you think anyone will be negatively affected by this you have a low IQ. If you can see this just a ploy to raise awareness of the Flipper Zero you have average intelligence. We get a “product is being made illegal OMG!” post every single hour on this site. Use context clues
newaccount7g··on Study suggests a 'dark mirror' universe within ours where atoms failed to form
Man this abstraction sounds like another abstraction that sounds cool wows!
newaccount7g··on Faculty group calls on Yale to make teaching 'distinct from activism'
But if mainstream economic theory is anything close to being correct, denying Marx was correct is like denying gravity. It’s just so clear based on the literature that the rate of return on investment exceeds the growth of the real economy. Anything else is conservative activism not grounded in experimental reality.
newaccount7g··on Yulia Navalnaya’s X account was suspended
Yeah he’s an enemy combatant like Trump. Another country other than US and he’d have been blown up long ago.
newaccount7g··on Extreme video compression with prediction using pre-trainded diffusion models
Why would you expect those kind of details in a paid commercial?
newaccount7g··on I taught the Iliad to Chinese teenagers (2021)
Snakes on Plane genuinely changed people’s lives more than Wages of Fear because it showed people the potential of making dumb jokes big. Wages of Fear was basically the same moralizing people get every day. Movies have a self referential quality that makes them more intellectually engaging than mere novels.
newaccount7g··on My notes on Gitlab's Postgres schema design (2022)
If I’ve learned anything in my 7 years of software development it’s that this kind of expertise is just “blah blah blah” that will get you fired. Just make the system work. This amount of trying to anticipate problems will just screw you up. I seriously can’t imagine a situation where knowing this would actually improve the performance noticeably.
