You mean far-right groups like Israeli officials = Zionists = genocidal terrorists?

And there's only one species of wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea. Get out of here with that "broccoli", "kale", "cabbage" or "brussel sprouts" nonsense!

The numbers presented are funny.

Global carbon dioxide emissions hit an all-time high of 36 billion metric tons last year.

Discussing Occidental's plants:

Powered by solar energy, and have the potential to capture and sequester 500,000 metric tons (0.0000005 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide per year.

Which then they say they plan on building more of said plants:

Occidental said it planned to build 100 facilities, each capable of capturing 1 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year

The annual amount captured magically doubles bringing it up to 0.000001 billion metric tons per plant and 0.0001 billion metric tons total annually.

It really seems like we should listen to the Vicki Hollub, Occidental’s chief executive, when they state the real purpose of direct air capture which could:

“preserve our industry. This gives our industry a license to continue to operate for the 60, 70, 80 years that I think it’s going to be very much needed.”

This is ignoring their main usage of that 0.0001 billion metric tons is for oil extraction thus increasing the 36 billion metric tons.

In other words shame on the NYT for burying the lead and being deceptive with their numbers.

(@facedeer, I'd be curious to get your take on this article)

Depends how far you stretch the definition. Those listed are a subset of RASP machine models, which are a subset of turing machines, which is a subset of finite state machines, but as far as "general purpose computing architectures" that's about it as far as I'm aware... Unless you get into weird application specific stuff like differentiable neural computers.

You could also go the other way and look at how the basic principles of those architectures get expanded on IE Von Neumann -> ARM -> Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) -> Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) -> etc.

You might reconsider based on which one has more ability/incentive to affect you

"exceptionalist immunity to corrosive blood-and-soil mobilizations of mass ethnic purges"

Y'know, except for one of the largest, still ongoing, genocides in history being that of the American indigenous peoples.

This author has an American exceptionalism bias and poor historical understanding of what fascism is. It's horrifying that the bar for "fascism" had gotten to the point of "it's only fascist if there's an open call for death camps."

Mock away :D

Advertising is just propaganda where the politick is centered around consumerism.

However, even if you consider that "not a real politic" this article skips past the consumerism and straight into police state normalization.

That's the point...

1. Shelter is critical to survival. The general rule of thumb places it as a higher priority than food or water. Arguing against people having access to reliable shelter, regardless the rational, is arguing for deliberately killing them.

2. The "they're defective and will destroy whatever they live. Don't let them in!!!" is just calling them cockroaches in a different way. It's fear mongering nonsense and there is no evidence to support that claim.

3. You're assuming correlation does not equal causation. It turns out being homeless, even for a relatively short period of time, is devastating to mental health and even if not the root cause (IE genetic predeposition, TBIs, etc.) it can strongly exasperate them and create some nasty co-morbidities.

Being repeatedly assulted and or raided by police, neighborhood vigilantes and other desperate people is an extremely quick path towards PTSD/other general anxiety disorders. The aggressive de-humunization that occurs can be a potent factor in antisocial disorders. Direct health impacts like physical battery, hypo/hyperthermia, illness, etc. can cause more detect brain damage such as TBIs, etc. Schizophrenia is usually fairly treatable, schizophrenia with PTSD amplified paranoia much less so.

There's a specific model for stable diffusion called riffusion that does an okay job. If you want to play with it I recommend downloading the automatic 1111 client and installing it from the "plugins" tab.

People are capable of more than 1 emotion at a time and that doesn't make any other emotions invalid and it certainly doesn't make any of the other possible ones people may feel or express "immoral".

Yes, someone is dead. They were flawed, but so is everyone and their passing is a tragedy to those close to them. Sadness, mourning, and empathy for those who will be most affected by his passing is a valid emotion.

Ryan actively chose a profession dedicated to inflicting violence upon those around them including the deaths of many others. Relief that he is no longer able to cause harm is a valid emotion.

Ryan was unable to stop causing harm to others on his own volition. He likely did it with the best of intentions, but through a steady diet of misinformation and lies he was conned into acting as a violent enforcer of capital. Frustration that this is what it took to prevent him from inflicting further harm is a valid emotion.

The empathy you are demanding with "it's bad when people get killed" is the same moralistic argument that "it's good when killing is avoided". Celebration that Ryan will no longer be causing the deaths of others is a valid (and morally equivalent) emotion.

Etc.

In short: It's a good platitude, but it's a poor moralistic argument, and is a narrow-minded viewpoint. Lemmy isn't the problem, your lack of empathy for those outside of Ryan's direct social circle is.
