Smart of Mata to tell them that. I like that they fight the hackers on their own "turf", so to speak, in the propaganda war. Makes their power and hegemony that much more believable.
J'ignore comment rendre justice à l'expérience qu'à été ma lecture de ce livre. Dévoré en quelques jours. Le dernier tiers en particulier m'a retenu éveillé jusqu'à 3h du matin, le récit tellement fort que je ne pouvais me convaincre d'attendre le lendemain pour le terminer. Un certain ressenti de découvrir *le* livre que *j'aurais* écrit, dans une autre vie, si j'avais choisi un parcours "littéraire" et non "scientifique". Un renouveau de rage écologique maintenu sous contrôle, presque étouffé, par un calme fataliste qui n'est pas pour autant un lâcher-prise. Si Les Soulèvements De La Terre était une religion ceci serait sans doute un de leurs textes sacrés, et Powers un de leurs prophètes (bien que Bouddha serait plus apte comme label). Heureusement, ce n'est pas une religion, et ce livre n'est pas un texte divin. Au contraire, je le trouve profondément profane, et humain. Au-delà du "contenu" (cad les thèmes abordés, les arcs narratifs et péripéties suivi(e)s) la forme est remarquable. Powers écrit avec un style de narration qui, tel la conduite d'une auto à boite de vitesse dans une contrée vallonnée, change de trajectoire et d'allure dès qu'on a avancé une centaine de mètres. Et tout comme cette conduite, l'expérience qui en ressort n'est pas une succession d'interruptions qui nous laisse sur le qui-vive, mais un état de conscience profonde qui s’imprègne simultanément de chaque détail séparé et du mouvement de l'ensemble. Il y a des phrases qui donnent l'impression que le livre entier a été écrit et construit autour d'elles. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Arbre-monde

Personally, I'd love to learn enough of the latin he spoke to be able to present him with a bottle of Cesar salad dressing and then tell him how many millions of people think of it when they hear his name.

I wonder what other applications this might have outside of machine learning. I don't know if, for example, intensive 3d games absolutely need 16bit floats (or larger), or if it would make sense to try using this "additive implementation" for their floating point multiplicative as well. Modern desktop gaming PCs can easily slurp up to 800W.

The rail gun's 10k starting damage will be great to counter the Vulcanus Destroyer's 6.5k HP/s Regen.
So at the very least, it seems like Wube still wants us to be able to scale up our end/post-game factories and SPM without too much effort.

There's a scene in the game where the character is taking a shower. The shower stall is glass, and the glass is frosted from around ankle height to neck height.
I haven't played the game myself, just came across the scene on YouTube several years ago, so I don't know how justifiable the choice of the scene is in the first place. At least, from a technical point of view, it makes sense to me that they modeled the full nude body so that the frosted glass would blur what we "see" in a realistic way. It's a lot easier to model something and then have the glass blur it, instead of directly modelling the blurred version for example.
Personally I think most of the creep factor comes from the fact that this character is explicitly modeled after a live human being who presumably didn't sign up for that.

I think I would have more sympathy with those focusing on the "not all men but always a man" sign if this weren't in the context of a woman being drugged by her husband and then said husband inviting about 50 random men to rape her, over 10 years.
One of the worst times to advocate for men's rights/issues is when everyone is talking about the heinous crimes a bunch of men have done. Especially if the comments you're leaving are focusing on how women rape just as much as men do, etc.

So, a few things:
- many of the men accused have stated that the husband pitched the idea as "this is a kink she really enjoys, being drugged and then having sex with strangers". (Of course they never pretend to have met her in person beforehand to get her consent for the whole thing in the first place)
- there are some that have said "what's the big deal? It's his wife, he gets to decide to lend her out to his friends." (!)
I don't know how many of the first group are being honest, but the existence of both can give you an idea of how bad our culture used to be towards rape, and still is to a large extent.
There's a pretty striking moment of archival footage, from the 60s or 70s I think, of some french dude being asked in the street "and you, have you ever raped a woman?" And his response is a very matter-of-fact "well, of course!".
People don't want to believe that rapists are, in many ways, just ordinary people. So they both refuse to see it in others, and refuse to see themselves as capable of even contributing to the problem. Hopefully this can be the wakeup call many men here in France need to realize they must push back when their friends make rape jokes, for ex.

Aside from echoing @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone and Doctorow's statements about unionizing, I am aware of a few others who are trying things that I'd describe as complimentary to unions.
This is a panel titled "Why hasn't Open Source Won?" where several of the speakers attempt to sketch out a framework wherein a programmer would have more decision over how their code is used: https://youtu.be/k3eycjekIAk . I'll admit, I'm not the most impressed with where they get to in the limited time they have. Nevertheless, I think it's a useful angle of consideration to have in the tool belt.
This is an org/foundation that is trying to walk the walk with regards to governing tech democratically: https://nivenly.org/ I haven't kept up with any recent developments of theirs.

Some choice excerpts:
Problems arose immediately for the A-TEAM nationwide. In California's Salinas Valley, 200 teenagers from New Mexico, Kansas and Wyoming quit after just two weeks on the job. "We worked three days and all of us are broke," the Associated Press quoted one teen as saying. Students elsewhere staged strikes. At the end, the A-TEAM was considered a giant failure and was never tried again.
"These [high school students] had the words and whiteness to say what they were feeling and could act out in a way that Mexican-Americans who had been living this way for decades simply didn't have the power or space for the American public to listen to them," [Stony Brook University history professor Lori A. Flores] says. "The students dropped out because the conditions were so atrocious, and the growers weren't able to mask that up."
She says the A-TEAM "reveals a very important reality: It's not about work ethic [for undocumented workers]. It's about [the fact] that this labor is not meant to be done under such bad conditions and bad wages."
And what one dude who went through the program as a 17 year old has to say about it now:
But he says the experience also taught them empathy toward immigrant workers that Carter says the rest of the country should learn, especially during these times.
"There's nothing you can say to us that [migrant laborers] are rapists or they're lazy," he says. "We know the work they do. And they do it all their lives, not just one summer for a couple of months. And they raise their families on it. Anyone ever talks bad on them, I always think, 'Keep talking, buddy, because I know what the real deal is.' "
My reading is that it failed because there was no political will to actually provide for local-born farmers any more than immigrants. And as such, it was doomed to fail from the start.

the police say they are targeting the criminals responsible but cannot "arrest their way out of the problem". They also say manufacturers and tech firms have a bigger role to play.
Even though I fully expect the police here aren't doing as much as they could (I mean come on, are they expecting phones to come with wiimote hand straps?) , I'm at least glad their public rhetoric is that they can't "arrest their way out of the problem".
I imagine that's poor compensation when you've just had your phone snatched, however.

Autres détails dont je me souviens: - la plante en question ressemble surtout à des vignes ou lianes vertes (pas d'ecorce, pas de brun) - vers la fin on apprend que c'est une botaniste qui est à l'origine de la plante : - grosso merdo elle explique que la plante crèvera toute seule au bout de 2-3 jours en se désintégrant, - que les baies de cette plante sont comestibles par les éventuelles personnes coincées par les lianes, - et que le tout est censé être un acte radical de sensibilisation écologique infligé de force au reste du monde en mode "rappelez-vous que c'est la nature qui domine, pas l'Homme" Ce dont je suis à moitié certain : - cette botaniste est la mère du protagoniste, un jeune garçon ado - la BD est parue dans les numéros d'une revue de jeunesse dans les années 200X/201X - type astrapi, okapi, j'ai lu, ou peut-être encore sciences et vie junior Je l'ai lue en tant que gamin à sa sortie, et ça m'avait bien marqué. Il n'y a que récemment que je me suis rendu compte que c'était une belle pièce de propagande écoterroriste! Du coup j'aimerai essayer de la relire, en l'analysant explicitement en tant que tel 😈
Sorry y'all, I don't have access to a decent internet connection for the time being.

Seems relevant to this community (albeit I haven't listened to the podcast yet). cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/15928804 > We are excited to announce the launch of a new podcast showcasing the transformative power of “Open Source for Climate” and the people and stories behind it. The open source movement is the key to bringing trusted knowledge, technology and collective action. **Post-listen edit**: a bit short and underwhelming. Then again, it seems to be more of an intro/announcement than a first "proper" episode. Hopefully the next one will be more fleshed out.
# What? I will be holding the tenth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language"). We are using [the Brown University online edition](https://rust-book.cs.brown.edu/title-page.html) (that has some added quizzes & interactive elements). Last time we covered defining and instantiating structs with section 1 of chapter 5, "Using Structs to Structure Related Data". We'll be continuing with section 2, where we'll be writing some code! Previous session details and recording can be found in the following lemmy post: https://jlai.lu/post/6703544 # Why? This slot is primarily to offer an alternative to the main reading club's streams that caters to a different set of time zone preferences and/or availability. (also, obviously, to follow up on the previous session) # When ? Currently, I intend to start at 18:00 UTC+2 (aka 6pm Central European Time) on Monday (2023-05-20). If you were present for a previous session, then basically the same time-of-day and day-of-week as that one was. **Please comment if you are interested in joining because you can't make the main sessions *but* would prefer a different start time (and include a time that works best for you in your comment!)**. Caveat: I live in central/western Europe; I can't myself cater to absolutely any preference. # How ? The basic format is: I will be sharing my computer screen and voice through an internet live stream (hosted at https://www.twitch.tv/jayjader for now). The stream will simultaneously be recorded locally and uploaded afterwards to youtube (also, for now). **EDIT**: here's the recording https://youtu.be/s0U7KBXxL8g I will have on-screen: - the BU online version of The Book - a terminal session with the necessary tooling installed (notably `rustup` and through it `cargo` & "friends") - some form of visual aid (currently a digital whiteboard using www.excalidraw.com) - the live stream's chat I will steadily progress through the book, both reading aloud the literal text and commenting occasionally on it. I will also perform any code writing and/or terminal commands as the text instructs us to. People who either tune in to the live stream or watch/listen to the recording are encouraged to follow along with their own copy of the book. I try to address any comments from live viewers in the twitch chat as soon as I am aware of them. If someone is having trouble understanding something, I will stop and try to help them get past it. # Who ? You! (if you're interested). And, of course, me.
Ownership is finally over! Ok, I *know* we're going to be seeing more of it throughout the rest of the book, but at least it should always be in the context of "doing" something else/useful. For example, grouping bits of related data into structs. # What? I will be holding the ninth of the secondary slot/sessions for the Reading Club, also on "The Book" ("The Rust Programming Language").
