Comment Re:BNPL, the "crediário" of the 21st century (Score 1) 37

Yes and so it's hilarious my credit score isn't a perfect 850 but 822... because I always pay credit card balances at end of month and never ever carry.

Not that it really matters, I'm not going to borrow money anyway. Borrowers become losers and debtors; it's a trap!

On the one hand, there exist people who are well-educated in philosophy, who "get it," and who can say some very insightful things using philosophy's jargon.
On the other hand, there are people who have also had some education in philosophy, but don't really "get it," and they mostly just babble nonsense also using philosophy's jargon.

Anyone who doesn't understand the jargon can't tell the difference between the two.

Comment Re:No"AI" cannot think (Score 1) 79

The summary itself points out that intelligence or intellect is not the issue, as it is too broad a term. At stake in true knowledge (episteme). Plato and Aristotle (inter alia) agree that true knowledge is immediate non-calculative intellectual intuition. We can call it the aha-experience (aha Erlebnis), i.e. when you just intellectually get something (like when you finally understand a calculus problem, beyond simply being able to follow the steps). For Plato, it is what makes truths true. If that sounds nonsense, it is also experienced in your immediate intellectual intuition that you are thinking, which is present (implicitly or explicitly) every time you think. It is not a chain of reasoning - it is your understanding that you are reasoning. LLMs do not have this immediate intuition - only the chain of calculations (dianoia).

From the Wikipedia article on Utkin

The Wikipedia that's literally edited by western intelligence agencies? Worth less than used toilet paper.

Ukraine's far-right unified in the last election under the Svoboda party. They won 2,16% of the vote [wikipedia.org], putting Ukraine the weakest electoral performance by the far right [lemde.fr] in all of Europe.

All opposition has been banned. They're all far right. And a red herring when the Banderites will happily assassinate you. Did the American mafia have power because they got so many Dons elected to Congress, or because they'd kill you if you crossed them or got in their way?

What, you mean like the Russian governor of occupied Donetsk outright giving an award [romea.cz] to a guy with a Totenkopf patch? Or all of the numerous Russian officials who have praised or given awards to the puppy-eating, unabashed Nazi, Milchakov [google.is]?

Now do Jon Stewart giving a medal to a Nazi at Disneyland. Or the Canadian parliament giving a standing ovation to a Nazi from WWII. Only 20+ million reasons why no one hates Nazis more than Russians.

Also, contrary to the misinfo sites you read, that was not a photo of "one of Zelensky's bodyguards". That was from his visit to Izyum where he was posing with random soldiers from the 25th Separate Secheslav Airborne Brigade to celebrate the retaking of the city from the Russians. That's why everyone has their phone out to take selfies.

And if you believe that I have some oceanfront property to sell you in Iowa. Reminder: you still have negative 10 billion credibility after Assange was arrested and wasn't immediately put on a plane to Sweden.

I really am having a lot of trouble even understanding what you're so angry about.

I don't understand what you don't understand about propaganda and hypocrisy. The western narrative is that communism/Russia was and is bad because of this one famine, but never mind all the capitalist famines throughout history.

So what the ever living fuck are you banging on about then?

For the same reason you'd be annoyed in 2025 if someone was still going on about the Iraq war being over WMD's and Saddam planning 911.

Duh.

So.. Are we supposed surprised by this? Why the fuck should we think Trump of all people would care about the internet speeds of little people? A group of CEOs pinch him and says "YO! need you to do this for us we got your back" and that is all the fuck that matters. He will do what they want in turn for them to do something for him personally that is it.

The first countries to commercialize 6G will enjoy overwhelming advantages over those who are left on 5G protocols and technologies.

6G represents a 1000-times increase in transmission speeds, with latency falling by similar orders of magnitude. . .

Much of the developed world is on 5G telecommunications networks, and the race is on now to build 6G. The difference between 5G and 6, is orders of magnitude increases in speed and applications. 1 terabyte per second is a thousand times faster than 1 gigabyte per second, which is what you might have if you pay a very high premium for connection speed at your house or office. And it is Chinese companies who have a big head start on building the tech for 6G.
