This guy is both somewhat correct but also insufferable. It's a big case of don't shoot the message.

He also seems to insist on his own weird definition of "woke". In general it's used to define an obsession with identity politics that is entirely devoid of material and class analysis, of a kind that is especially prominent among the PMC, which nutrek is a perfect example of.

It's a shame, this kind of video could be exactly the kind of thing that helps build bridges to de-reactionisation of alienated "nerds". It sets out in a Marxist context a structured explanation of what I've seen more cohereant righties try to express, but instead he chooses to insult people.

Weren't all the former Chagos inhabitants against this?

Ironically one of the drugs that prevents this is ivermectin.

I realise that, my point is that the "sham TNS" may be acting as active TNS.

This study looks questionable.

Sham TNS delivered 30 seconds of stimulation per hour at lower frequency and pulse width

It seems just as likely that TNS isn't particularly sensitive to the frequency and pulse width.

It also looks like a lot of the researchers have funding from pharmaceutical companies.

Groundbreaking stuff going on

Steps taken to try and prevent fraud including matching a practical test candidate's face with their photo ID

Honestly, when I made that comment, I did think that he probably wasn't the earliest example.

Sure, give a nation of nihilistic alienated young men racist daria, what could possibly go wrong.

You just know someone embezzled most of the budget before wrapping a bunch of lectures in a "game" less complex than a 2006 newgrounds flash game made by a teenager.

The nobel prize has been a joke since Kissinger won it anyway.

One can only hope Charles ends like his namesake.

It takes time to build factories, the big three RAM manufacturers apparently think AI is a bubble, although that could just be an excuse for price fixing.

China's cxmt is apparently ramping up production, but they're still relatively small.

It's like 4chan Vs Shia Lebouff all over again

What makes you think it was intended as an insult?

Last Wilson heard, he was employed by a large US-based aircraft company.

I'm guessing it starts with a "B" and ends in "oeing"

I'd argue most people would know what centralised and decentralised mean, at least in abstract terms, while anyone that hasn't encountered it before would have no idea what the fediverse is.

When I first heard "fediverse" I thought it was a joke about everyone on mastodon being a fed 😆

Of course they could get lucky, or could steal technologies to accelerate things

Good news everyone https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/samsung-engineer-accused-of-leaking-10nm-dram-process-data-to-chinas-cxmt

I wondered if this was coming. Bambu was set up by former DJI execs, and copied most of their dubious business practices.

The bans are for stupid reasons, but I can't feel sorry for bambu or DJI since they're both terrible businesses.

It helped to put "shipwreck" in quotes.
