So what's the plan here beyond protesting?

The situation isn't that dire yet IMO, it's not amazing but things aren't falling apart yet. I think the libs know on some level they won't survive unless they keep the treats flowing, which inevitably means easing up on the policy against China and probably even Russia to a degree.

Sounds like a decent deal if the tenants don't need to finance Greg's healthcare costs.

What's the play here anyway? The population of Greenland is like 60k people. Is it really just Trump's brainworms acting up real bad or is there some benefit if you do imperialism to Greenland? Do they want to slap a military base there or something?

What you mean you couldn't get a whole continent to sacrifice itself for a shitty backwater oligarchy? Shocking.

Sure but I'd expect them to put up a fight, this almost looks like it was prearranged.

How did this happen so suddenly? Did the Syrian army just desert their posts or they didn't have equipment or what?

How's Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it's probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

others seem to just grandstand as these "scientific beings" that really are just emotionally bankrupt and care zero about anything but "resolving the next contradiction" which is just fucking ridiculous and cult-like.

These types of nerds are so annoying, they're like 2006 reddit atheists but communist.

How can you prove B exists if it's not measurable?

Because I've felt it, I've felt how understanding feels, because ultimately understanding is a conscious experience within a mind, you cannot define understanding without referencing conscious experience, you cannot possibly define it only in terms of behavior or function. So either you have to concede that every floating point multiplication in a digital chip "feels like something" at some level or you show what specific kind of floating point multiplication does.

Also what's inherently wrong with art being generated by a computer? Not every piece of art made by a human is this unique, incredibly creative never before seen thing nor it needs to be as such, in fact most human made art is just rehashing of previous things.

"Understand" is not a well-defined or measurable thing.

So why attribute it to an LLM in the first place then? All of the LLMs are just floating point numbers being multiplied and added inside a digital computer, the onus is on the AI bros to show what kind of floating point multiplication is real "understanding".

Eh I've seen colleagues that use Vim heavily do their work and they're like at best 10-20% faster than me when it comes to pure text input/editing, honestly not worth the effort to switch to Vim for me.

Just switch to VSCode or something similar, it has enough features and shortcuts that will quickly make you like at least 80% as productive as you were in Vim. It even has a Vim mode so you can wean yourself off of it more easily.

Honestly never got the appeal of Vim, you need to spend so much time learning and configuring it only to squeeze out a little bit of extra productivity out of it when compared to a "normal" editor/IDE. I don't see why it's so important to be able to edit and write code as quickly as possible since most of the time you're going to be debugging or looking at the code or reading docs.

EDIT: Just noticed you said you don't code a lot. I think most of what I said still applies, I imagine you don't spend 99% of the time in the editor typing away.

It's pretty close, you just don't want to admit it because you've been taught to hate that word.

It's pretty close, not sure why you're being so belligerent over this.

I don't see anything that an iPhone offers me that is way better than an mid/high end android.

Are you implying that no socialist leaders ever wanted to be in power and all of them were just so nominated and begrudgingly accepted the position? I'm not really sure that's how it went down in the general case, sure sometimes it probably happened but I don't think we yet have a mechanism to keep people that want power away from power.
