We've been there. For decades. You know that, right?

If all Americans thought like this, I might support a union too. Unfortunately, you're outnumbered.

It's never too early to start collaborating with the occupiers, I guess.

Like, it's still mostly hypothetical and this guy is putting his hand up to be a Quisling.

That sucks, I'm sorry. For every person who's given an unfair advantage by a parent there's some that get shafted.

Also, a lot of people that join fringe movements have a personality that craves conflict, and it becomes an outlet for it.

Non-carnism isn't really so fringe anymore, but that's pretty new, and may not have reached veganism specifically.

Yup.

Eventually, maybe less aggro people will join and the cycle will break. Being ovo-lacto-veg is cool now. Or maybe not, because veganism isn't based on ideas that modern people already agree with, but rather suggests a whole new system for how animals should be treated. Like, they're against continuing to keep dogs as pets.

Yes, but imagine all the rage clicks!

He's basically a professional media villain at this point. Not many people take him seriously, and I doubt the share among journalists is larger.

Guessing this is supposed to be a gotcha based on domain, but it's not. They pretty openly teach people to read so they can read propaganda.

Of course, if you believe they're Wakanda IRL maybe that's just what they say to outsiders to keep them away.

It's a weird place. From what I've heard, at this point it's more like a giant plantation or a resource colony (with no foreign overlords) than a normal dictatorship. The three sectors of the economy are policing the common people, making stuff for export (often on the black market and often globally illegal stuff) and making nukes to protect from foreign adversaries. The money from exports goes to grain, and luxury items for a separate elite that doesn't even like to stay in the country, let alone be part of it.

Probably got caught not believing all this stuff in private, and listening to k-pop or something. Off to war you go...

No way. You notice how he implies he broke the rules and is being punished for it? This was the diary for his commanders and/or military police to "secretly" read. Defectors pretty much give the same story - corruption and crime is ubiquitous, nobody follows the rules when they can't be caught.

Human nature is pretty unremarkable for the most part, but one thing we have going for us is that the majority of people never buy the propaganda, regardless of what it is and where they are. You can see that in history, in modern authoritarian states, and even in the West about propaganda I personally agree with (save the planet! vaccines don't cause autism! covid is real!).

High probability that he fully expected state security to look through it.

Refactoring gets really bad reviews, but from where I'm sitting as a hobby programmer in relative ignorance it seems like it should be easier, because you could potentially reuse a lot of code. Can someone break it down for me?

I'm thinking of a situation where the code is ugly but still legible here. I completely understand that actual reverse engineering is harder than coding on a blank slate.

This is one of those takes that's so controversial I'm afraid to post it, which is exactly why I have to.

I neither endorse nor disavow this, and no, I'm not in the picture.

I considered posting this elsewhere, but only Canadians are really going to get why it's funny. Regina being totally self aware about it's (lack of) reputation made it for me.

A link to the preprint. I'll do the actual math on how many transitions/second it works out to later and edit.

I've had an eye on this for like a decade, so I'm hyped.

Edit:

So, because of the structure of the crystal the atoms are in, it actually has 5 resonances. These were expected, although a couple other weak ones showed up as well. They give a what I understand to be a projected undisturbed value of 2,020,407,384,335.(2) KHz.

Then a possible redefinition of the second could be "The time taken for 2,020,407,384,335,200 peaks of the radiation produced by the first nuclear isomerism of an unperturbed ^229^Th nucleus to pass a fixed point in space."

Per the rules, this is the original headline. However, the interesting part is that he's preparing a Gaza offer that he says will be "final".

They've hewn very close to the whole "unconditional support" thing, so I'm curious what that means exactly.

In air. This seems like it should be incredibly basic information but I can't find it anywhere.

We have no idea how many there are, and we already know about one, right? It seems like the simplest possibility.

This is about exactly how I remember it, although the lanthanides and actinides got shortchanged.

Unfortunately not the best headline. No, quantum supremacy has not been proven, exactly. What this is is another kind of candidate problem, but one that's universal, in the sense that a classical algorithm for it could be used to solve all other BQP problems (so BQP=P). That would include Shor's algorithm, and would make Q-day figuratively yesterday, so let's hope this is an actual example.

Weirdly enough, they kind of skip that detail in the body of the article. Maybe they're planning to do one of their deep dives on it. Still, this is big news.

Example: On here vs. on Lemmit itself.

I don't know if this is our end or theirs, but nobody seems to have commented about it on their meta community, which makes me think it's not broken for users on bigger instances.

Reposting because it looks like federation failed.

I was just reading about it, it sounds like a pretty cool OS and package manager. Has anyone actually used it?
