You read about counterinsurgency.

He sacrificed so much. And he did it all for the sake of Palestine.

By “here,” I mean this entire post that only you the OP think is a good idea. Or is there any comment that I missed?

Do you dispute with how I’m characterizing their opinion on using AI for article summaries?

You are just wasting your time. The only person who thinks it’s a good idea is you. Nobody else here thinks it’s a good idea. At this point, your options are to either revisit using AI to write summaries or do it anyways but not say so.

1. Nobody’s going to read the summary, human or AI, because nobody reads in this website. At best, people glance at the headline.

2. Since nobody reads anyways, saying it’s done by AI just normalizes AI for no gain whatsoever.

The real solution is to not bother writing a summary, and if you want to write a summary that nobody will read, at least do it without AI for the sake of not normalizing AI.

All the US military knows how to do is blow their money in the most inefficient way imaginable and lose to insurgents. People here grossly underestimate how:

1. Most people in the military work in logistics and lack real combat experience, in which case they functionally bring nothing to the table that a generic worker couldn’t bring as well. I met so many vets whose entire years of service boils down to “I moved boxes from point A to point B” or “I drove and repaired trucks” or “I sat on a desk and read emails.” You know, like any other generic job.

2. The people who actually have combat experience are either serial killers who get off on the warcrimes they’ve committed, complete drones who do as they’re told, or people with horrible PTSD who need our help more than we need theirs. In the way, this makes sense. If you’re send out to commit warcrimes, the serial killers and drones will leave relatively unscathed and sleep like a baby while normal people will be haunted by what they’ve witnessed and committed for the rest of their days.

Scabs also cross the picket line to “escape poverty.”

In the context of China, the drug dealers were traitors who collaborated with imperialists (where did they get the opium from) while the soldiers (presumably you meant soldiers in the Nationalist army) were literally kidnapped from their villages and forced at gunpoint to put on a Nationalist uniform. Not remotely comparable.

I know there’s a Linux editing software that copied paint.net right down to the same exact UI, but I’m blanking on the name. And it’s not Krita/Gimp. I remember it was something else.

Now that I think about it, a lot of the critique of Sonic 1 being too slow is more about not having the spin dash, which is a fair critique for the game engine but not a fair critique for level design. I honestly don’t know how the zones would play out if you can use spin dash.

At least on the hardware side, a lot of things boil down to businesses needing a designated target to push responsibility to whenever shit hits the fan. Ultimately, Redhat et al get paid because they’re willing to be the designated target whenever some dumbass IT manager fucks up and doesn’t want to take the heat. That’s why they’ll toss 3 year old workstations even though those workstations just spend the last 3 years intermediately running Outlook and Teams. They do this because 3 years is usually how long the warranty lasts. But once the warranty is up, they would rather buy new machines and the warranty that comes with it than support those practically new machines.

This is incidentally a great way to get an almost brand new PC at bargain prices. Just find whatever Optiplex or equivalent model that was released 3-4 years ago and buy a refurbished one.

The biggest hole that 9/11 truthers can’t account for is the fact that the US basically invaded every single country except for the countries the hijackers came from. I guess the CIA intern accidentally printed out fake Saudi passports instead of fake Iranian ones, but the lead CIA case officer decided to just run with it.

No. This type of rhetoric slides close to anti-immigration bigotry which makes sense since anti-immigration bigotry is rampant in US society. They are not colonizing XHS for the simple reason that XHS is owned, managed, and moderated by Chinese people. US users have to abide by XHS rules and social norms just like how immigrants have to abide by the laws and social customs of the country they immigrate to.

Adblock

Adblockers have been around at least since the 00s, if not earlier. It’s a cat-and-mouse game between ads and adblockers, and adblockers are losing imo. Stuff like adblockers and noscript are ultimately attempts at debloating webpages which are reactive measures against webpages being ever more bloated.

I might be wrong, but it feels easier to get into Linux now.

This is 100% true. There’s a huge difference even between Linux now and Linux 5 years ago.

And as they say, hardware being ever faster is balanced by software being ever more bloated. The only exception is SSDs which makes booting a lot faster and solves a lot of issues inherent with HDDs being electromechanical instead of being pure electronics, but I don’t see a major difference in SSDs between 2015 and now outside of them becoming cheaper.

I was going to say Instant Pot, but that came out in 2010. Linux got better, but that’s mostly incremental changes rather than a really big change on top of Windows getting a lot shittier. I guess there’s RISC-V CPUs, but those aren’t commercial products, so at best, you can say that RISC-V CPUs can be the technological breakthrough that we’re missing.

This is just the default behavior in China (and most past and present AES countries). In China, saying you’re a communist means you’re a card-carrying member of a communist party. If you’re in the party for purely careerist aims or you cheated your way into becoming a member, people will say that you’re a shitty communist but a communist nonetheless. Meanwhile, nobody gives two shits if you think communism is cool and act like the perfect communist, whatever the hell that means, if you’re not a member of a party. China isn’t like the US where you can never go to church but still claim to be a Christian because you “have a personal relationship with Jesus.” China is a place where you can disbelief the existence of gods but if you perform the proper religious rites, people will say that you are devoutly religious.
