11 years ago, I did something like that. I was trying to use particle swarm optimization to efficiently update neural network weights, it didn’t work well.
Don’t ask me why I even tried, I was a dumb but code happy undergrad!
His efforts and crusade went unnoticed for years and after his tragic death due to years of harassment and mental torture by lawyers and police, nothing changed.
The world and internet specially is cruel phony place which hardly remembers anything good, dismisses worthwhile endeavors while engaging in irrelevant culture wars.
Yes what Aaron did was illegal but the whole point of his crusade was that how unjust and inaccessible scientific research was to average person.
Neither the morally bankrupt left nor the completely inept libertarians took up his cause after his death.
His death will forever be in vain. It is a reminder for everyone to only take up “fashionable causes” which aren’t that important and only important for political mud slinging.
It is a reminder for all young people and me, don’t take up worthy causes, don’t try to change the world for better, they will kill you and make you irrelevant forever.
I am not sure if it’s a good thing that humans collaborate with awful humans.
It’s a great service of Social media which exposes how awful humans are. How hateful, vengeful and violent seemingly normal people can be.
I think it’s a good thing that humans have fractured and awful people are separated from non awful people.
There is only harm towards nature and humans (mostly non awful/non aggressive humans) when there is lots of human collaboration.
Instead of de-carbonization, we need a technological and political decoupling of human beings. That’s the only hope for humanity and all the innocent flora and fauna of earth.
De-globalization is too far too late. We are on the no point of return from absolute and rapid annihilation of nature and humanity.
India is severely undeveloped and polluted due to its population bomb explosion.
Climate scare-mongering doesn’t solve the root problem.
