  • Electric cars are a type of vehicle. Public transit is a type of transportation system that include many different types of vehicles and can include electric cars.

    You're comparing apples to orchards.

  • Well, my friend, I'm glad you're not disputing the point, despite the poor comparison. I wish you peace and love :)

  • The comparison I'm making is to Nazi Germany's war for global domination. So yes, there was Jewish armed resistance in occupied Europe. Now, I don't condone Hamas's massacre of civilians and hostage taking. I do believe Palestinians have a right to armed resistance in the face of Israel's control over Palestinian sovereignty and the continued extreme injustices they've been inflicting on Palestinians collectively.

    I was pointing to a distinction in the logic of "rightness". If you ignore morality, then yes, eradicating a population will effectively stop groups within it from continuing to attack you in the future. However, with morality, genocide is wrong. It's the same reason why wiping Israel off the map would finish things and end the IDF's war crimes. However, it would still be morally wrong.

  • By that logic, Hitler/Nazis should have finished the job too so there would be world peace. If millenia of history and the present is anything to go by, nations keep going to war with each other, so coexistence will never work in the long term.

  • No, the vertical spit and the term doner kebab is traced back to Bursa in the 1800s, with offshoots into shawarma and gyros thereafter. It wasn't until the 1970s that German Döner Kebab evolved in Berlin.

  • The article literally refers to the Traditional Specialty Guarantee label in the second sentence. They want to treat it like Pizza Napoletana or Serrano Ham, but it's too general for that now.

  • Someone wants to buy US soy farms for cheap.

  • Sure, it's a dick move. People should follow the rules and not be stubborn dicks. The point of the comparison is how we can expect the whole interaction, from the woman being upset to the arrest, to play out more likely one way than the other depending on whether the person being a stubborn dick is black or white.

  • Yes, everyone should follow the rules. This is about how we as a society handle situations where people break the rules. I'm sure you've been pulled over for a traffic violation before. Imagine the best case interaction and the worst case interaction that's still within the bounds of enforcement regulations, and there's a spectrum of everything in-between. The problem people are pointing out is that one privileged group of people statistically get better interactions and another group statistically gets worse interactions.

  • It might not be all that important, but I hear the Dutch make some decent semiconductor equipment /S

  • It's not strange, rather it's bad enough that your typical ideological opponents are agreeing with you.

  • I am sympathetic to the frustration with and resistance to feeling marketed to, but this person just seems to lack self-awareness... And lack of awareness in general. Not a good look.

    I won't assume he's representative of large swathes of developers 👀👀👀

  • Oh man, that was a good one

  • The Littlest Hobo

  • XD

  • Sure, but that true AI won't just involve an LLM, it will be a complex of multi-modal models with specialization and hierarchy--thats basically what big AIs like GPT-5 are doing.

  • Lol the point about "don't dehumanize" has nothing to do about them or feeling bad for them. They can fuck right off. It's about us not pretending these aren't human monsters, as if being human makes us inherently good, as if our humanity somehow makes us inherently above doing monstrous things. No, to be human is to have the capacity for doing great good and for doing the monstrously terrible.

    Nazis aren't monsters because they're inhuman, they're monsters because of it. Other species on the planet might overhunt, displace, or cause depopulation through inadvertent ecological change, but only humanity commits genocide.
