Imagine hyping up Kamala this much

Yeah, machine learning actually has a ton of very useful applications in things. It’s just predictably the dumbest and most toxic manifestations of it are hyped up in a capitalist system.

Yeah this is just math.

I think a degree of shut up and calculate is needed, at least in the beginning. Without a solid math based understanding of the fundamentals, trying to prognosticate on the ‘meaning’ of it is inevitably going to fall into pop-sci style stuff. You’ve gotta know what you’re dealing with a little.

Some nuclear disasters are a bit overstated honestly. Like Three Mile Island was a tiny amount of radiation. Coal ash releases more radiation regularly. It’s just part of our normal “accepted” energy production and doesn’t get the media focus.

You have sources on that first bit lol? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Unless you’re meaning jokes about fascist voters falling down a manhole or something?

Something that’s important to note though, is that the Cat example isn’t a great way to envision this phenomenon in general. Schrodinger’s Cat was actually made as an argument against this interpretation, by blowing the behavior up to a macro scale, where it seemed absurd. While you can draw analogues and all that, I’d recommend against really thinking that macro scale objects are in a multitude of obviously different states at once, all the time. It’s a path to some of the really kooky fake-science “quantum” stuff that get’s repeated.

Like, you’re never going to see a physicist argue that a person is both alive and dead in another room, because of the technical chance that they tunneled halfway through the wall.

What’s funny is that physicists approximate and round way more than engineers do.

It really is oppression to get responded to.

You’re actually just wrong lol. Cuba has a larger HDI than most countries in the region. And that’s while being economically strangled by the United States.

And what’s this authoritarianism you’re talking about with Cuba? It’s a democracy. And it’s got better rights for minorities than the United States.

Hey, that one was decent actually! Good job!

As a Hexbear poster, I have abandoned my morality and kneel at the altar of the Russo-Sino Satanist.

I will admit that I am having fun posting.

I bet the people who had their families killed by American death squads probably hate the country more.

You can’t just swap words out and assume the framework is the same. It literally makes no sense. Changing one word can, and does, have a huge effect on overall meaning of a sentence.

Land reform is authoritarianism! You can’t just take other people’s property. That’s against the rules!

Think of the landlords.

Cuba is a beacon of progress and humanity in the Americas. Fidel Castro was a hero. Also a pro at dodging the CIA’s kill squads.

Damn, you are so fucking smart.

Better than the US that’s for sure.
