Pancake first.

I absolutely agree.

Will try it on my device, thanks!

I bought one as a present not long ago.

Good answer, thanks! Very informative!

Metaphysically, shape (color comes from the shape of molecules). Epistemologically, color (shape is perceived as the arrangement of colors).

Interesting read. But it seems to assume more intelligence increases similarity to humans, which is especially not true about systems with very specialized skills.

I once tried to make an actual program in Lambda Calculus. It pretty much looked like that…

You can chill a bit with the nice people here, no need to spark debate.

Oh, I’m having lots of fun right now. Probably feeling hypomanic and grandiose due to stuff and that’s why I’m doing this, but it’s so fucking fun.

Interesting read. I’m not sure what to think about the Uyghur matter given the sheer amount of incoming info. I’ve tried to be critical of this article, so I believe I should make my analysis clear here:

• There are three sides in this story: interviewed people, UN report and the Chinese government.
• It talks about the Chinese authorities denying or condemning various statements, but notably doesn’t offer any further explanation, while the other two sides get to explain themselves.
• The article states that the Chinese government released personal data and imagery, but doesn’t mention a reason. This seems to attempt to give the impression that doxxing her was the intention, but she lives in the US and for all I know that info could be intended as proof of non-stated facts.
• Some mention family members being detained. The alleged reasons for their detention are not made explicit. I tried to learn more about this in a linked article, but all it stated was that “reasons including …”, which is a phrasing that indicates hiding of information, and thus a high risk of bias.
• “The report demolished Beijing’s counter-terrorism framework” seems to be a purely personal judgement, as the report didn’t deny that countering terrorism was indeed the goal of those efforts.

Overall, I think this article might be biased towards one end of the story, and is explaining the facts in a way that intentionally pushes a non-objective narrative. In particular, I found it problematic that the article is challenging the statements issued by the UN report, which constitutes higher-quality evidence than testimonials.

This is exactly the kind of political content I would like to see more on Lemmy: serious information to support your views.

Mostly, selling social structure data (who you’re talking with, etc.). I believe they also do some other sort of business with some clients.

I find those media are either for people promoting themselves (e.g. Instagram) or companies making profit out of social interaction (e.g. WhatsApp). Whatever, it’s all business, so I mostly agree.

You can look at the modlog to what posts have been removed and why. I routinely disagree with Lemmy* users from the entire political spectrum, as I find it more important to offer good arguments than to suit my views on anything. Anyway, you’re welcome to co-moderate with me if I can trust you won’t do any of the things you mention a mod could end up doing ;)

Don’t worry. As stated in the rules, no posts will be removed over politics, and I will not personally intervene for anything not stated in the rules. I’ve made the community on Lemmy so people from many instances can post there and feel safe. I believe it’ll be beneficial for all communities to have an environment to just share well-informed knowledge rather than attack each other :)

Extremely interesting. But one wonders if these “prebunking” methods wouldn’t be affected by the team’s unconscious or conscious biases, which in turn may be affected by misinformation.

Yeah, although I’ve realized I enjoy the meal more if I don’t.

Superficially it doesn’t look like it. But recent stats indicate that an increasing share of the male population in Spain sees feminism as an “oppressive” (???) movement. I’ve myself checked (I’m Spanish) that many male and female friends of mine show such opinions in private, even if they don’t generally show them, and the tendency is increasing.

I was being sarcastic, yes. For some reason, people are just accepting that narrative (hey, people have different versions of the facts, I can understand that) without even questioning whether it makes sense at all.

So, Russia has troops inside the power plant, and they are apparently holding workers at gunpoint so they keep producing electricity. Ukraine, as expected, has decided not to attack those Russian troops and endanger the rest of us in the world, while stupid Russians are shelling their own positions and halting the production that they themselves are attempting to keep going. They are probably not stopping even when the prospect of a nuclear catastrophe is pushing international forces to act, as Mr Zelenskyy has many times requested, probably eventually expelling Russian forces from the area. As stupid as they are, they don’t realize that the attacks they are performing only benefit the military interests of Ukraine, and not their own… Thankfully, that Chinese official has stated that "all parties […] exercise maximum restraint”, and by “all parties” we should of course understand they’re referring specifically to Russia, just like the article states in its title, as they are clearly the ones performing the attacks.

Edit: /s, for the sake of fuck
