I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the "blue vs. red" factions of the early game, like 1999.

I think we have bigger problems than their romance. So I will say it's homophobic unless you can prove it with AI-generated images...

With or without the robot? FWIW Beastie Boys already defeated the Backstreet Boys on February 4, 1999...

Propaganda doesn't imply facism (elimination of opposing, or any other, opinion.)

Propaganda is monopolistic, and coming from State itself, that we could argue is different.

But the whole list in the meme has differences. Yet, the parallelism is eerily pointing to outcome similarities..

Wait. How do you monetize watching memes?

In their jargon it's called "scrub". There are different arrangements, I have 3 disks under raid 5 or raidz 1. Data is written twice and every month I confirm checksums.

In the past I had lost photos on faulty disks, this solution provides me with techniques for coping and dealing in such scenarios.

True. But you can save photos and videos under self-healing filesystem like zfs. Is far more cheaper than a year of multiple premium subscriptions (google, netflix, spotify). And it's not recurring monthly other than electricity bill..

Unless you were Mayan. They had a concept of zero, or so I heard. But they lacked the letters, a-z and the parentheses :p

Or decide not to kill their relatives. Like in previous revolutions ;)

Dissociation, of course.

I think the comment meant to point out that these humorous take on a tragedy are only accepted as part of a russiophobic perspective. I tend to agree, although I don't find it offensive I understand that similar comments on for example, the killing of a ukranian ballet dancer, would be seen differently by all of us. Hence, the xenophobia. Ukranian is western and we relate.

Just changing the victim nationality makes it palatable for jokes, that's something that calls for observation

(For context, I'm basically referring to Python 3.12 "multiprocessing.Pool Vs. concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor"...)

Today I read that multiple cores (parallelism) help in CPU bound operations. Meanwhile, multiple threads (concurrency) is due when the tasks are I/O bound.

Is this correct? Anyone cares to elaborate for me?

At least from a theorethical standpoint. Of course, many real work has a mix of both, and I'd better start with profiling where the bottlenecks really are.

If serves of anything having a concrete "algorithm". Let's say, I have a function that applies a map-reduce strategy reading data chunks from a file on disk, and I'm computing some averages from these data, and saving to a new file.

Rockstar Games' servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

I'll just leave this here.

 

Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)
