"a modest proposal" was another banger on a similar topic

extra workload

I assume they'd use syndication software that could plug into mastodon as well as the proprietary networks. If they're already syndicating posts between twitter Facebook and Instagram one more network shouldn't be too much effort.

Maybe we could do better with smaller ais that are fine tuned (or RAG idk I'm not a programmer) on a specific code base + documentation + topical forum

A lot of Russian "tankies" believe this unironically tho - that Putin should demonstratively purge the corrupt high command (which really is corrupt), nationalize our heavy industry such as car manufacturers, and force mobilize the masses to work on those plants, because otherwise we are at a real risk of losing to some stupid khokhols and their american overlords.

They don't understand that Putin runs on personal loyalty first and foremost and purging anyone for mere corruption and incompetence is unthinkable (he is merciless to people he sees as traitors however). It's not how the system works at a fundamental level

Yeah the real reason they're doing this cultural stuff is that they need a distraction from the fact that their material/economic platform is becoming more and more unpopular every year. So the anti woke/anti immigration frenzy must continue

Dem politicians should point this out more, but their economic program isn't very popular either. I miss Bernie :(

This new Yorker article goes into some more detail. Apparently there was an underlying conflict between rival Chinese academics over succession of university admin postings in Beijing.

According to the article it was one Chinese dude trying to hog credit and Perelman basically went "oh i'm not brave enough for politics" and bailed. If he accepted his choice was basically becoming a conformist or getting involved by trying to improve things. He chose not to choose.

Most problems require the insights of several mathematicians in order to be solved, and the profession has evolved a standard for crediting individual contributions that is as stringent as the rules governing math itself. As Perelman put it, “If everyone is honest, it is natural to share ideas.” Many mathematicians view Yau’s conduct over the Poincaré as a violation of this basic ethic, and worry about the damage it has caused the profession. “Politics, power, and control have no legitimate role in our community, and they threaten the integrity of our field,” Phillip Griffiths said.

p.s. Also between some behavioral tics (very picky eater, refusing to trim nails, trouble socializing) and the elevated sense of justice I nominate him as an honorary autist. we stan

Up front through things like kickstarter? instead of convincing a publisher to sign you on you have to convince a crowd

Yeah at the time he was picked it was purely a gesture of goodwill towards Vance's techno-capitalist sponsors (Thiel and co). I am confident trump thought they had it in the bag against sleepy Joe and his team wasn't thinking too hard about strategy at the time.

Now they're scrambling but it doesn't seem to be working. they'll probably just try another coup after the election

Exemplary cop behavior, no notes

Yeah the meme pretty much ignores the classism aspect of who ended up getting the spices

idk I'd be perfectly fine with having a bulkier phone in exchange for a keyboard.

Maybe it would be cool to have an interactive version where you could click on any two nodes and it would tell you the actual distance
