There's an interview with Vijay Prashad that comes to largely the same conclusion about superhero movies.

UNRWA is Hamas is a credible but unverifiable accusation? What's next? Bibi is Hamas?

Don't forget how ableist they get if you disagree with them.

This is just a gamer (who btw farms montages in low rated btb games) ranting about Trueskill2 based on an out of context paragraph that in context with the rest of the model of skill they are trying to approximate, your teammates' skill doesn't really affect your change to win/predicted stats in a given match.

If you want, they have talked about the actual algorithm that then attempts to match players based on their rating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FoG4Jtpebs

It biases towards matches it thinks will be a fair fight between both teams with bounds on the max skill diff between the best and worst players between both teams. And they adjust these bounds with player population throughout the day so you can get into matches quickly. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/truematch/

I know someone whose kid became really irritable and started having aggressive episodes after a head injury. Insurance doesn't think an MRI is medically relevant.

It makes me so mad when anglos try to gaslight the success of obamacare and how many millions of additional people are "covered" by it.

People who don't look at or fret the prices at the grocery store.

My thoughts exactly. Society will have radically changed before these AIs radically change society.

Dershowitz has been a known associate of Epstein for years though.

I was talking with a friend the other day how the SAT/ACT is just a stat check on your parents's income. Kids who were just grinding flashcards for hours to just barely pass a class were getting 1500s.

He has an abcs of authoritarianism children's book he coauthored too. Had to do a double take when I saw that one at the library.

We've come 4/5 of the circle jajajajajaja

Chinese interference is when you have unaddressed domestic issues you'd rather ignore and the more you have the more interference they are doing.

Unilateral sanctions hit different when someone is enforcing them on you.

The ballots still have blanks even the digital ones. You can vote for yourself. Or Trump or whichever of the duopoly candidates was removed from the ballot in your state.

But it does hurt the perceived legitimacy of the election. I had thought the reason so many stop the steal legislators did a 180 after the capital riots was that owning the libs wasn't worth endangering bourgeois rule.

This is shortsighted of the duopoly to say the least.

The contradictions are sharpening but I think AI and generative AI in particular is this decade's vaporware. The vaporware of the previous decade was self driving cars.

As it stands, generative AIs are just expensive parakeets. Getting them to do anything other than spit up probabilistically correct information and sentences would require them to have comprehension, not just associations between strings of words. The path to comprehension, much like autonomous driving, is long, expensive, and unclear.

Both nascent technologies offer the ability to squeeze, displace, and replace labor and so they naturally attract investment from excited but stupid investors.

These investors are so dumb they gave Adam Neumann, disgraced former WeWork CEO, money for another real estate startup.

The prospective bourgeois buyers of AI are not any smarter. I've seen high level execs complain the chatgpt they bought doesn't know when some internal deadline for quarterly planning budget is due. How the fuck would it know? The damn thing read all of Wikipedia and a half dozen SharePoint pages, of course it doesn't know.

Loening, with his background as a human rights commissioner and a federal parliament member for Germany's Free Democrat party, brought significant credibility to the investigation. His comparison of the living situation of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang to the apartheid regime in South Africa, made in a 2021 Deutschlandfunk interview, highlights his awareness of the gravity of human rights issues.

The anglo leading the investigation found nothing and still believes this wowza.

The number of people who saw squid game and then thought it would be a good idea irl for content is too high.

Your children yearn for the mines. Mine yearn for "uncoerced" contractual work obligations in the mines. We are not the same.

The IMF handles South Africa with its European division too. At least when Budhoo wrote his resignation.
