Low level programming C

Could be pretty much any computer

rust

Need a lot of memory (8-16 GB) if you are planning on dissecting any existing projects

Machine Learning programming with Python

Start with colab / huggingface and get a feel for what level of hardware you need for the stuff you’re doing before you start buying stuff

If you want just a general high quality system with upgradability etc, frame.work or System76 are supposed to be good high end providers.

It's a well trodden path at this point

GOP: I'm gonna do WHATEVER I want whenever I want up to and including KILL YOU AND FUCKIN CIVIL WAR if you try to stop me

Also GOP: Whoa whoa whoa, where's my entitlement thing you were supposed to give me, this isn't fair! More pls. Give more. I need it and you're supposed to give it to me.

It's like living with a teenager in the house who also for some reason has a handgun.

Everyone wants to belong

Everyone wants allies, close friends, brothers and sisters they can rely on and love and support

In the modern world we have pale imitations and crap. There is no village, there is only a dim landscape through which we shuffle, largely alone.

And so there is craving for some substitute, because the under structure is unfulfilled

I mean, it’s clearly doing something which is impressive and useful. It’s just that the thing that it’s doing is not intelligence, and dressing it up convincingly imitate intelligence may not have been good for anyone involved in the whole operation.

What are the lions even gonna do?

“Haha I will bite some of you! And then sit there doing that thing where I make a chewing motion with my tongue out and shake my head vigorously, because it isn’t working!”

Ants all the way man

"Democrat" as an adjective from Lemmy accounts (mbin.grits.dev)
 
  • There are 229 accounts in Lemmy that have used the phrase “Democratic Party” more than once in the last 6 months or so.
  • There are 188 that have used the phrase “Republican Party” more than once.
  • There are 25 that have used the phrase “Democrat Party” more than once

Having "Democrat Party" (or similar constructions like "Democrat voters") be unusual on Lemmy makes perfect sense. It's something I pretty much never hear outside of conservative circles. It always sounds really weird to me and I don’t think it would ever occur to me to use it. It’s not surprising that it’s so rare on Lemmy.

What is unusual is that there's quite a bit of overlap between accounts that use this unusual phrasing that's pretty much only seen from conservatives, and accounts that claim to be opposing the Democrats from the left -- giving reasons and arguments why Lemmy users should not vote for the Democrats, because they are not doing enough to advance a leftist agenda (or, that voting is not worthwhile, or similar things.)

The conclusion is left for the reader. I am, honestly, a little bit on the fence about listing the accounts or going into the data. I decided it would be drama-inducing to list accounts specifically; honestly, it's useful and informative detail, but it would create some heat without light, probably, and there's no reason to think that 100% of the accounts that are part of the overlap are what the obvious conclusion would be that a lot of them are. I'm going to simply state the conclusion, and anyone who wants to replicate the data for themselves is welcome to do so.

I did ask two of the accounts that were part of the overlap what was up with it, and neither of them answered me, although a third party did chime in with this explanation:

I've had various liberals tell me Democrat was a form of dog whistle or sign I'm a right winger. One person started to dig into my mutual aid info trying to figure out if I was a Russian bot because I said "Democrat" instead of Democratic. I've tried to Democratic as a noun, and it felt grammatically incorrect. "I'm running as a Democatic." "The current majority in the house is with the Democratics."

Personally I think "Democrat" works for both candidate, party, and voter. "Biden is the Democrat's Nominee" vs "Biden is the Democratic nominee".
