Libertarian ≠ capitalist... It's just a diet version of anarchism at its core which hustlers are trying to rebrand as being purely pro-business.

There's even Libertarian Socialism

My sister did, you just need approval from some government offices so you don't get mice that've had rabies-ebola-smallpox-anthrax tested on them getting out

Websites have false positives all the time and while it sucks, it's infeasible for them to have human reviewers checking everything and it's better to have false positives than false negatives... What isn't acceptable is that the appeals process uses the exact same models as the flagging process so it gets the exact same false positives and false negatives...

Pic related as it was one of the first to reveal how broken the appeals process in most social media platforms was.

A substantial amount of this inequality can be explained by further racial disparities in the benefits of high skill work experience

This sounds like a coded way of saying people with less money and fewer connections get less well paying jobs with worse progression, and more recent immigrants and descendants of slaves are less likely to have money and powerful connections...

Is almost like this is another example of trying to divide people by race when the actual split is by social class

Every AI model outperforms every other model in the same weight class when you cherry pick the metrics... Although it's always good to have more to choose from

Why would the Taliban want to shoot down a plane? They're not terrorists like IS or Al-Qaeda and they're not antsy enough to shoot down a plane first and think later like Iran are, nor is it an active warzone... They just want to commit human rights violations in peace and shooting down a plane is a golden ticket to foreign intervention.

Green is actual data, white is straight lines connecting the green, but they don't have data.

The cut across Northern Iran is just a straight line, but they will have stayed north of the border.

There's a difference between libertarians and republicans looking to make more money. Most of the supposedly anti-taxation anti-regulation billionaires just want less tax for them and fewer regulations for their business; everyone else and especially imported products can be taxed more to give the billionaire's company more subsidies, and regulations to prevent competitors from growing or starting up is even more welcome. Even when it comes to personal freedoms, they don't care and will gladly support the government in reducing those freedoms if it earns them some sway.

This all goes directly against the libertarian principles of government non-intervention in the free market and people's personal lives, both of which are vastly more important than just reducing taxes, which supposedly comes as a side effect later (even if in reality taxes would probably stay the same as you'd need to provide more assistance to low income people)

This isn't to say that more principled libertarians are necessarily noble or right or whatever compared to people who just want lower taxes, just that saying it's about reducing taxes and giving power to corporations is buying in to the direction that corporations are trying to move the ideology in

Be generally aligned with the right

It's gotta be authoritarian right though... I can't see a pro-immigration, pro-choice, pro-gun, anti-tariff, anti-corruption (generally pro-freedom, that thing republicans pretend to like) libertarian getting anywhere with trump, it wouldn't surprise me if a tankie got along better given they're into most of the things trump likes

Planes don't fly great circle routes though, there's overfly fees, weather, mountains, ETOPS and just plain politics... This route looks ordinary compared to some international routes, eg Helsinki to Singapore where you dodge Russia and Ukraine for politics, taking you way below the great circle route, then Turkey for overfly fees and Iran for politics, taking you almost back up to the great circle route, before dipping down again to avoid the Himalayas

This is Rust not Python

They're both optimised out by the compiler. If you disable compiler optimisations, they're identical in machine code anyway, unless you introduce a second loop, in which case the first will be more memory efficient as the memory used in the first loop can be reused in the second loop, whereas if you declare the variable outside the loop it can't (again, without compiler optimisations, which make the whole comparison pointless).

Google haven't so much been destroyed by their own technology as hustlers have learnt to game it. Search as a whole has become worse as a whole as a result which is one reason people are looking to LLMs more as unreliable as they are, as they're easier and way better than mfa/seo content
