Yeah, definitely, the intensifying cold war makes me wonder if I’ll ever go back again. Doesn’t feel like tourists will really be allowed back in, in my lifetime, once things start getting really bad.

I wanted to see the great wall while I was studying in Asia.
Bringing your real phone instead of a burner phone into the PRC is just asking for your shit to get stolen. I have never brought my real phone into the PRC.
This soldier is currently in Japanese custody, not American.
Glad to see that the US military seems to be cooperating with the investigation, at least.
The US military’s refusals in the past to hand over one of their own hurts their credibility and their soft power. No one is above the law, not even the military.
RCV will end the two party system. France uses runoff and they have more than two parties
That said, I’m partial to the systems in Sweden and Germany, plenty of options to choose from.
2024 is going to be the year of frenzied elections with no preparation
Bill their insurance for your lilies. Driving is a privilege and drivers should take responsibility for their mistakes while driving.
Oh you sweet summer child
The cold war is over. Coups don’t work like that any more. https://youtu.be/gYvht5nu7rU?t=348
Coops are still about the money. They’re about saving money by sharing resources with fellow workers/consumers, and maintaining democratic control over the company. You’re not going to get rich from a coop (without embezzlement), but you and your coowners will be cutting out the middle man. Obviously, it only makes sense for industries that you’re heavily invested in.
Self hosting can save a lot of money compared to Google or aws. Also, self hosting doesn’t make you vulnerable to DDOS, you can be DDOSed even without a home server.
You don’t need VLANs to keep your network secure, but you should make sure than any self hosted service isn’t unnecessarily opens up tot he internet, and make sure that all your services are up to date.
What services are you planning to run? I could help suggest a threat model and security policy.
Not to mention, fiber is cheaper than copper at this point.
Telecoms are just lazy and don’t want to string up new lines.
Reminds me of what happened when Milosevic tried to decline a ceasefire agreement
humidity shouldnt be a problem with modern ventilation and such large cooling surfaces.
I’m honestly shocked how much of a fuss the participants are making over 22-26° rooms. My apartment is almost never below 25°, even in the winter. Are they somehow going to perform better if it’s 20° and they freeze? Not to mention fucking loud portable air conditioners are. There’s a heatwave going through Sweden right now, and my apartment was up to 30° this afternoon.
Also really defeats the point about not using air-conditioning when all the participants just bring in super-inefficient portable units and then immediately throw them in the trash. I guess it’s good for energy efficiency in the long run though for when these buildings become normal apartments.
Ah fair enough, I figured that since the registers are 512 bit, that they’d support 512 bit math.
It does look like you can load/store and do binary operations on 512-bit numbers, at least.
Not much difference between 8x64 and 512 when it comes to integer math, anyways. Add and subtract are completely identical.
Tons of computing is done on x86 these days with 256 bit numbers, and even 512-bit numbers.
There’s plenty of instructions for processing integers and fp numbers from 8 bits to 512 bits with a single instruction and register. There’s been a lot of work in packed math instructions for neural network inference.
And hack their phones so we can see why they want to spy on everyone else’s phones
Ah that makes sense. I guess any time you elect a single person, it ends up being a binary choice. Here in Sweden we have parliamentary PR, but the parties are divided into a social-liberal block and a conservative block, so voting for a party is either a vote for the socialdemokrat prime minister or the moderat prime minister.
