I suppose the issue is the private ownership of the algorithm. Lemmy is a way to distribute ownership even though I think each instance is privately owned. It might be worthwhile to create a platform abstracting the data from the algorithm allowing the end user a choice of recommendation algorithm.
There is no money in it. Enclosure of the recommendation algorithm is profitable.
If there are recommendation systems, maybe an open API for requests is required. Thereby a user can choose an algorithm. I would go as far as open sourcing it all.
I agree that the current form puts too much power in the hands of a few.
We should only consume domestic media. Good thing the Bible is domestic media. \s
How is there less risk to Americans on a platform like X(itter) instead of TikTok?
I’ve been thinking about the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell. The extreme form of protest rattled people that oppose the genocide. Genocide supporters used the act as a way to point at service members that don’t support genocide. The people that needed the message of his protest do not care. I contend Aaron Bushnell could have done more by continuing life.
I am not you. I do not know your story. I do know you brighten up my Lemmy feed with your posts. Your message reaches me.
I have a gallows sense of humor about the current systemic issues. I have been watching a police officer patrol the neighborhood in a SUV with a massive rack of lights on top. Welcome to the future, I suppose.
Politically, “power to” is important to me. I feel empowered knowing that I have the “power to” end my life, but have chosen not to, because we are stronger together in the fight against over-policing and the heirarchical power structures that use forms of violence to restrict our “power to” do things.
I medicate with music. Since you are already in a dark place, here is music I medicate with to feel empowered when I am reaching the end of my rope. It is not what you would get from a crisis line.
This life is fucked, this life is shit We never even asked for it So with that I’ll do what I please Spray my brains all over the trees Only thing waiting on the other side Is six feet of dirt, there’s no surprise to hide
And if I die as a partisan, oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao and if I die as a partisan then you must bury me.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs
I do have disdain for the phases laid out by Marx, but this slogan is wisdom.
You are right. The video shows a dermal electroencephalogram (EEG). The article talks about the “60 Minutes” video using an array being an inspiration. Both an array or EEG are tech from the 2010’s. I am enthralled by the tech/research and wish it paid better.
Seems valid enough. The rhyming with USSR is some Putin and Stalin. DOGE is consolidating power under some leader from independent agencies.
Further, assuming intelligence is measurable by an IQ test.
I have never heard this version. Still addresses elimination of heirarchy. Happy New Year and thank you.
“No gods, no masters” also applies to demagogues like Pinker or Dawkins. Disconnecting an idea from the people associated with bringing it into your life can be difficult.
New feature with terrible syntax. There are features of every language I choose not to use. As a C++ developer, I would choose not to use this syntax, so that my team can write better designed code. However, I am an oddball on my team for loving trailing return types. In peer review, the schlong operator i.e. ---> would only be used where it makes sense which should be nowhere.
Peer reviewing this seriously would require knowing more context. Instinct tells me MyClass**** is probably allocated from the heap. A possible reason for so many levels of indirection are jagged arrays. Maybe the function only gets the first element of each level of the arrays. The function name doesn’t make that clear. This is poorly designed. Please re-design/re-write. I will happily review those changes. I expect unit tests to show example use cases.
I would suggest using a stack allocated array with sentinels for missing values to improve cache coherency. Without context, I assume looping over the jagged structure will be common. Loading more into cache should improve efficiency in loops, but benchmarks are required.
Wait… I should join the crowd. So I say, “down with C++” and up with some safe alternative. Maybe rust: https://github.com/Speykious/cve-rs.
Politics is group decision making. Religion is humanities relation to the supernatural. Drama, in context, seems to be a flaring of emotions.
Politics is unavoidable. Working with others requires decision making. She is telling you how she goes about making decisions i.e. deferring to authority.
Religion is also unavoidable since it informs politics. Many people believe God-King Jesus will come fix all the world’s problems. Thereby they are primed for deferring to authority.
Drama is a result of the multiplayer game of conversation. You can control your inputs and responses. You can control your internal state. There is no shame leaving a game instead of grinding to “git gud”. Not every game is for everyone. I enjoy the grind.
I have voted Democrat since I could vote. I voted third party this round. Liberals should blame me for the problems of the Empire. Vote Biden and move him left was only compelling once. Give me economic substance. Dismantle the Empire.
Banning ownership becomes a game of catch. Use whatever you have: 7.62x51mm, arrows, rocks, ect.
Wanting an end to needless slaughter, healthcare and working equipment sounds reasonable. I am glad there are reasonable voices on Lemmy.
I am probably missing a lot of information on Israel, but continued learning is important. I recently learned about the USS Liberty incident in 1967. I am not sure how Israeli’s could mess up that bad. There are still individuals maintaining the incident was deliberate. Who knows? Troubling history abounds.
People have different reasons for being on Lemmy. Examples are looking to feel validated or to pick a fight. I think these folk also existed in ye olde times. Maybe the attention economy is amplifying specific behaviors that would not have been amplified in the olde times.
Being fair, I usually come to Lemmy to argue. I am probably part of the problem.
The vote is worthless outside of swing states. May as well vote your conscience when fptp and Electoral College enshrine disenfranchisement.
Informative. Well written. Seems like the short version of my Intro to American Politics class at Uni. I classified myself as a social democrat back then. I was told I would get more conservative when I was older. Now I classify myself as an anarchist. Not sure what went wrong.
I am grateful local debates are posted online. Instead of listening to music at work I listened to the debates. Living in a one party state is unfortunate. The opposition tends to have similar political convictions to the incumbent.
Agreed. Voting shouldn’t be the only activism we are involved in. My comment was about solidarity against the oligarchs that can decide to make life harder for people they deem icky.
Two weeks is short. Six weeks seems more reasonable since that’s when child care will take infants.
As far as expectations of being a parent to a newborn: you will be tired, emotionally drained and fatigued to memory loss. You can actively be involved in easing and sharing this burden with paternity leave.
As a maths person, I have scored high on IQ tests for years. There are plenty of topics I am not great at, but IQ tests typically focus maths topics like pattern recognition.
I like the acknowledgement of racism in IQ tests. There is a bias in the test for western maths education. Sadly, the results could be used for eugenics. Many great mathematicians I have met are neurodivergent, LGBTIA+, cis-women or other groups the eugenics crowd want culled.
My current politicical perpspective frames this as enforcement of heirarchy, legitimized “scientifically” by the IQ test. There are plenty of high IQ people, such as those in maths, that do not fit the eugenic vision. The heirarchy becomes self-fulfilling and “natural” by culling the non-comforming people. The “top” of the heirarchy must legitimize their position, so the bottom doesn’t resist doing all the work for little personal benefit.
IQ tests measure something. Don’t use that measurement to justify heirarchy. Eugenics is bad. A better future, built from the bottom, is possible. All power to all people.
