To be fair, that's all they have to go on. If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many pages is a lifetime (or even a childhood) of sight and sound?

At least it's not pulling up mostly Motorhead-related content like it used to...

I think I read that brains like these are basically normal in terms of structure and number of neurons, just compressed by the extra fluid pressure.

I feel like a good test of any supposed AGI would be to hook it up to a feed of a classic 3D platformer like Mario 64, give it input control, and see how long it takes to progress through the game. We're seeing sparks of this with Claude Plays Pokemon, but any self-respecting superintelligence (or even human-equivalent) should be more than capable of learning the control scheme, navigating the 3D environment, solving puzzles, and generally playing through as competently as any 10-year-old seeing the game for the first time.

I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary. In hindsight, he would have been obliterated, McGovern-style. Clinton and Biden treated him with kid gloves, but in a general election all of his questionable past -- his unemployment, his wife's involvement with that college financing thing, his honeymoon in the USSR, the rape essay -- would have come out and been hammered relentlessly by Republicans (and a good chunk of Democrats).

In my experience, a lot of them aren't dead, just slow. If you do post something, it still gets circulated to everyone subscribed and typically gets a decent amount of votes and comments.

I feel like doing that automatically would just encourage instances to defederate if their larger communities didn't like the cut of another instance's jib. The culture clash would be harder to tolerate if content were mixed by default like that.

Maybe an easier way for end users to do it themselves? Like making a feed of multiple communities under one topic.

something something Tiananmen Square

It's a nice sentiment, but things haven't exactly worked out for the pro-democracy movement in HK.

I could see them maybe using a custom version of Deepseek for that second tier. Could be a boon for them if the inference costs are a lot lower.

It's actually pretty rare for dictatorships to have only one legal party. Even North Korea is nominally a multi-party state. Such minor parties are just token controlled opposition ofc, but they serve to give a flimsy "democratic" veneer.

America's trajectory rn is aiming closer to the illiberal/managed democracy of Hungary under Viktor Orban, where there are true opposition parties with an actual chance at winning, but the media, government, and electoral system is strongly biased against them.

More accurately, it traps any web crawler, including regular search engines and benign projects like the Internet Archive. This should not be used without an allowlist for known trusted crawlers at least.

Annoyingly, it initially seemed to work well on my iPad (only lacking right-click support, which upped the difficulty nicely), but now it only shows the multicolored loading screen forever. Not a cookie thing either, since it does the same thing in a private tab.

I just wish it would prioritize the top from the last 6 hours while showing older stuff below. Because slower communities feel dead when you visit and see no posts (even if there was one seven hours ago).

Updated, thanks.

What a condescending way to make your point. Of course terrorism doesn't belong to one ideology.

I was talking about vehicle ramming attacks specifically, because the deadliest incidents have been Islamist extremists targeting crowded venues in Europe, including the Bastille Day attack on the promenade in Nice and the 2016 attack on another Christmas market in Berlin (which this attack was clearly imitating). I just find it weird that a right-wing anti-immigrant Islamophobe would do a copycat attack like that -- it's like a left-wing Israeli protesting the war in Gaza by suicide-bombing Palestinians in Ramallah.
