Care to give arguments?

Does Israel has the intent of genocide? I don't think so.

Does Hamas try to maximize civilian casualties with martyrdom? By meshing its combattants with civilians? Yes.

The Geneva convention, unfortunately, allows collateral to a certain extent.

Hamas also executed gazans several times.

Israel does have a very aggressive strategy, but labeling it a genocide doesn't help the Palestinian cause.

Words matter.

I read many people saying "it's just a PC", but I am a bit skeptical for now.

I will probably wait for reviews to see how it goes

I still feel very interested, though, but I would need to adapt some workflows that I have with paint.net for now

so the available software is a bit limited then

I can still customize and configure things, or not really?

does that mean I can't customize the OS, like shortcuts?

So SteamOS is just arch linux?

I guess there are important differences?

This is just wishful thinking

We don't have a good definition of intelligence

Also, the premise that this thing would take over, it's hard to reason why it would do so

Anthropocentrism is also problematic in this article.

I did not say everyone is a gamer, but it's still a big market share

valve is on the brink of replacing windows with steam for many people

it's probably not a big dent in market share, but it's probably a good tipping point

it's probably time to call those old retired programmers to ask them how to reduce software memory footprint

or to teach that again

weren't they already using repos for training?

I once asked on #ffmpeg@libera if the GPU could be used to encode h264, and apparently yes, but it's not really worth it compared to CPU.

I don't know much about video compression, does that mean that a codec like h264 is not parallelizable?

I got a thin raincoat, a thing I can roll and pack in my bag, I have been carrying it around for the last 10 years or so.

I think it was advertised as very water proof, like water would pearl on it.

It's probably full of PFAS, no idea if it has been leeching PFAS, but I know it's not very waterproof anymore, so that might be a worrying clue.

Bourdieu was ahead of his time.

People now identify themselves as belonging to a social class by subtle cues, it's like an unconscious messaging system to signal that you belong to some sort of club.

That's what "being raised right" means now.

It's now backwards to check if someone comes from a good or rich, noble family.

Instead, we check other subtle things.

Spend 5 min with anybody, and you can somehow know if that person can belong to your group of friends.

It's like animal checking each other' scents to accept them in a group.

Foucault was popular in the US, and had theories that were different but similar in concepts

I've heard a scientist say tinnitus also happens after waking up from a nap, not from a night's sleep

Can confirm
