This is a conversation about history. It doesn’t include modern member states because they were not member states when the modern European colonization of Africa first occurred.

therefore,

EU flag doesn’t fit here because it’s a symbol that’s used nowadays to represent 27 countries, not just colonisers. that’s why I initially said it was anachronistic

and there are still many eu member states that can hardly be accused of directly engaging in modern colonialism, I’m simply saying we shouldn’t lump them all together

modern european colonialism doesn’t have much to do with god or promised land anymore, and even then a british or a french flag would be more appropriate imo

putting an eu flag on this feels anachronistic

I think you’re referring to LLMs which are just one tiny facet of what we can do with AI. But there are so many other use cases (disease diagnosis, weather prediction, spam or fraud detection, just to name a few), so we shouldn’t disregard it as a whole. I agree that generative AI is being overhyped these days though and it’s also making me mad that it causes people to think that’s all there is to AI.

啊?

TIL there’s a negative correlation

why can’t we use passkeys instead of passwords though? is it just a matter of convenience? if so, maybe there is a way to determine a passkey from a password?

please correct me if i’m wrong on this. lots of people here saying that it’s not practical because we would have to trust tiny instances that may be malicious. however, what if we make user’s identity provable to anyone, simply by the use of logic? suppose we have a way of generating random proof-theorem pairs (for example, the theorems could be something like “the largest proper factor of n is greater than some m, where m and n are some huuuuuge numbers and n is semiprime”, the proofs could be constructive). we let the identity be the theorem and the password be the proof. hence, anyone is able to verify the indentity by the use of a theorem prover like Agda

I’ve seen tankies defending trump so I’ll believe anything

my parents are gen x and they are not based at all

can’t tell if it’s a tankie take or a fascist take… not that any option makes it less terrible
