  • He's so used to being the boss and having everyone always laugh at his shitty jokes that he thinks he's funny.

    He's not a politician and has no charisma or any way of getting people to do what he wants outside of ordering them to, which is why he'll never do well in politics where building and maintaining relationships in your coalition is one of your main jobs.

  • do you know what "from the river to the sea" means?

    Yeah, it means the same thing as a song I was taught in elementary school:

    From sea to shining sea,

    Let freedom ring

    It means let everyone in this land enjoy freedom. I suppose if your a cynical bastard you could say it means free of natives, but I don't think that's what the elementary schoolers, and everyone else who sings the song means.

  • Yeah, cause in a nazis belief system I should be enslaved or killed. There belief system is an existential threat to me, so yeah I'm not gonna cry if they're further away from me.

    Mahmouds belief system is only an existential threat to the apartheid Israeli state.

  • It is a word but it'd be more common to use the word beauty or attractiveness in that context, or "based off looks". People would understand what you mean either way though.

  • Maybe he wants to court the left block because of the three part hung parliament they're in right now so he can get more defense spending and Ukraine support passed since the u.s. is backing off Europe.

    Maybe he's trying to fill in the power vacuum in the middle east after the u.s. lost all its soft power supporting this war.

    Maybe he's tired of the houthis attacking shipping and hoping to get a French pass if they recognize palestine.

    Maybe he's just a good guy and is just disgusted by genocide.

  • Bit of a chicken and egg problem, most people aren't buying stocks because they have no money, not because they don't understand them. They have no money because the stock holders of the companies choose to put there profits into dividends and stock buybacks rather than increasing wages.

    Class antagonism cannot be solved by just giving workers stock, because the worse off workers will just sell it due to economic pressure. Some may be able to hold it but they will have there interests ruptured with the stockless workers. So the capitalists will just raise the wages on those classes of workers with significant ownership , eg. The managers and professionals, and continue to ignore the rest, which is about where we're at right now.

    In order to have mass ownership of stocks there would have to be a mass social safety net so the people aren't forced to sell there stocks to make ends meet. At that point then stocks stop becoming a source of security for the workers since they already feel secure from that safety net. Then they just become a voting mechanism for production that is still heavily skewed towards the rich. That would be better handled by the government or unions which have an equitable voting system.

  • Yeah the problem isn't in our government structure, in this case, but in the republican cult of personality.

    It sucks but the Republicans won a very narrow victory in the house senate and president. No matter what system you have, if it's at all democratic that party makes all the decisions. The problem is there making the decision to standby and watch as a demented oaf flushes the country down the toilet

  • This is lemmy, people hate China, America and commercial social media. Not a big fan of any of those three either so yeah, fuck em. Would be better if we banned all commercial social media but I'm not gonna cry over only some of them getting banned.

  • Listened to a podcast with a person who lived in the ussr when it fell and was comparing it to current day America. Basically they were saying that people are becoming more cynical and don't really believe in the project any more and are waiting for something to come along and fundamentally change things.

    With gorbachev it was a turn to democratic liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism.

    Both could bring down the great empires of the twentieth century.

  • Another very surprising outcome of the research is the discovery that these LLMs do not, as is widely assumed, operate by merely predicting the next word. By tracing how Claude generated rhyming couplets, Anthropic found that it chose the rhyming word at the end of verses first, then filled in the rest of the line.

    If the llm already knows the full sentence it's going to output from the first word it "guesses" I wonder if you could short circuit it and say just give the full sentence instead of doing a cycle for each word of the sentence, could maybe cut down on llm energy costs.
