Last few years have proved how easily humans can be hacked.
On the long term, anthropological warfare is a clever idea... but it's probably a little too optimistic to think you can implement with just one app. The CCP/tiktok hysteria feels overblown to me - public education is…
I think (for obvious reasons) people should really stop blaming the Talmud for everything - Jules Michelet is probably more to blame for the modern prevalence of the Ius primae noctis belief, XIXth century republicanism…
By the way, notice how they pivoted from "false information" to "misinformation" years ago. It's transparently hilarious.
Both are almost unavoidable when your management layers grow beyond a certain level. Most of the complexity, inefficiency and the related failures in today corporate and institutional world is driven by too much…
Not gonna lie, I was expecting something more in-depth, like the complete history of manga translation from the Studio Proteus/Toren Smith era and before, to now.
"The master and Margarita" really bites hard in its satirical view of Moscow under the Soviets. One of my favorite funny books.
At this point, they don't even need to brainwash anybody - they will just 49/3'd the law and say "xxxx it" to the parliament.
We are on the brink of an AI revolution, which mean Intelligence will become a commodity. In comparison, credentials will have even more value than ever. Supply vs demand.
This. Macron knows perfectly what he is doing, and why, and for what objective and for whom benefit. The guy was dancing in an Elton John concert when the cities were burning.
Some people are more equal than others.
Yes, this is precisely the problem.
Already been doing it for years, implicitely, by making my code as unreadable as possible. But now I can justify it by saying I'm doing Science.
An old classic but too many indices can be harmful too.
I'm convinced the future will have IP, that the IP houses will use AI to generate an infinite number of properties, copyright them, and use them to rob blind any creator daring enough to try something ;p
I'm pretty interested and fascinated in all the efforts that go into making sure it lies as convincingly as us.
It will happen sooner than later, as the fees will go to the copyright mafia industry rather than to the artists.
Music to my soul.
Yep. It's no longer a rant when a recognizable pattern emerges. (and I don't think they are personnally incompetent - quite the contrary; but in my experience, it's the managerial process that is often designed to…
To be fair, binge drinking (and its share of drawbacks) when celebrating military victories was very much a big feature of Macedonian culture.
It's the reason why they switched from low-paid underlings to a little better paid caste of technocatric petty bourgeoisie for the XXIst century ;)
Obsidian is great for syncing my notes across several devices. It was the major challenge I've struggled with for several years before it.
Feels fallacious ? Most good developers I personally know, when doing code, tend to think about the problem at hand, establish the logic of how they want to solve it, and then implement the solution. They rarely try to…
Humanity is shaped by its tools much more than the other way around.
I don't even really understand what "glory" is supposed to mean here; I'm more a believer in the cold, hard reality of geopolitical survival : you can't be a global superpower when your own seafront is literally at the…
