- Comment on To incarnate into a new reality you identify with a character. 6 days ago:
It is not necessarily a character per se, but something akin to a body : an element through which you can influence and be influenced by the reality. Consider your mouse cursor for example : it lacks the humanization/personality of a character, at least imo, yet is the way you interact with most of your computer.

Do you want to leave your country, at least for a bit of time (or is it possible that political/social instabilities will make you want that in the future)? That could be a hint for medicine.
I studied law for 3 years and hated it, but it’s mostly because of my philosophical/political beliefs. On the bright side, it is very diverse, so you could quite easily connect it to something you like (art, environment, digital, politics, etc).
Anyway, good luck for your exams!

- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 3 weeks ago:
Here is the main blog post that i remembered : it has a follow up, a more scientific version, and uses two other articles as a basis, so you might want to dig around what they mention in the introduction.
It is indeed a quite technical discovery, and it still lacks complete and wider analysis, but it is very interesting for the fact that it kinda invalidates the common gut feeling that llms are pure lucky random.

Oh yes, cost of training are ofc a great loss here, it’s not optimized at all, and it’s stuck at an average level.
Interestingly, i believe some people did research on it and found some parameters in the model that seemed to represent the state of the chess board (as in, they seem to reflect the current state of the board, and when artificially modified, the model takes modification into account in its playing). It was used by a french youtuber to show how LLMs can somehow have a kinda representation of the world. I can try to get the sources back if you’re interested.

Actually, a very specific model (chatgpt3.5-turbo-instruct) was pretty good at chess (around 1700 elo if i remember correctly).
- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, resources can also include time, energy, contacts, social abilities, all of which are much more important than money when organizing a protest, especially a ‘small’ one. Ofc, your argument still stands that thz best way to get something is to work for it to be done, but it is reasonable to think that someone might miss resources in the broad sense as above, making it much more work relatively speaking.

I agree, having experienced this especially on mathematics pages. But on the other hand, from my experience, the whole article is very technical in those cases : I’m not sure making a summary would help, and im not sure you can provide a summary both correct and easily understandable in those cases.

Well if you only change your password 3-4 times, you only have 4-5 options to try. You also kinda remember for most website if you changed your password a lot or not, so you naturally try the most plausible option first, at least in my experience.
If you regularly change your password, it can become a nightmare, i agree.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
A solution to this is to keep adding elements to the chain to create a new password. Like your base password is FavouriteCharacter2025siteletters, and if you need to change it, go for FavouriteCharacter2025siteletters!!!
If you add the same element across accounts when you need to change a pw, it’s still easy to remember, just a few more try when you forget it, it’s still useful against database leaks, and it’s not worse when it comes to targeted hack.

I’d say an age gap could be creepy in itself in some cases, like 18-30 years old or something in those areas. Not the case here though, at least not in my eyes. And really agree on the creepy comes from behaviour.
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 1 month ago:
My fault is not ignorance, it’s blatant stupidity because i knew it. It’s also part of israeli propaganda that i fell for to think of palestinian territories that way. That’s bad and im grateful for people pointing it out. I’ll try to think more next time.
The rest sill stands.

Zionism does not necessarily include exclusion, theft from, violence against, even less so mass murdering and genocide of Palestinians.
From what i know, and correct me if im wrong, Zionism at its root is the ideology pushing for Jews to live in the territory of Palestine and have autodetermination there. Ofc, a lot of the derivative include what i mentioned above, but not all of them : you can think of a country where both Palestinians and Israeli live peacefully, and it would still fall under Zionism, from what my limited perspective lets me know.

As you explained in your post, because of some bullshit german law and admin decision. It’s bad. We agree on this.
Your title should still be ‘bans calls for end of Israel and calling Israel nazis’ or at the very least ‘bans some criticism of Israel’.
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 1 month ago:
Genocidal : again, genocide is NOT a nazi-only thing. And yes it’s bad to not be able to equate, yet alone compare Nazis and Israel government. But you can still say ‘Israel is genocidal’.
Palestinian territories : this is my bad, not an expert on the matter + did not think through. I meant territories destined to Palestinians in previous two-state solutions and at least recent territory annexion. From what the message says, you can still say that.
Military intervention : you can support the intervention without supporting people doing it. Also, you can support official interventions of other countries instead of guerrillas groups. The fact that most of those groups use terrorists methods, like targetting civilians (yes, those one that Israel and most states in the world also use) does not help with terrorism part, and i think we all agree that there should be no support for hamas or hezbollah directly, though they fight for objective we should defend. (and yes, Israel is doing worse for religious and racist reasons too, and they have a kind of immunity partly because of the anti-antisemitism rethoric partly because they are a state and states are rarely condemned for use of terrorist tactics, all of this is compatible).

Overall agreeing with you, you should at least be able to defend this pov.
But that should be the title instead of ‘bans all criticism of Israel’.

They still allow you to call out on the genocide, how are they supporting it?
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 1 month ago:
They never said it’s not a genocide. They said its not the Holocaust. We all agree there is a genocide in Gaza carried out by a far-right Israeli government.
They never said it’s a matter of number. They halfly imply it though, i agree, but what they actually explicitly said is it’s a matter of it being systemic or not. It’s debatable, the use of daily bombing is both quite industrial and not as efficient as death camps, so it’s perfectly fine to target on that point. But do not hide behind the number things, which we all agree to be dumb, as a way to avoid considering the potential gaps in a comparison between Nazis and Israeli government.
I think it’s okay to say both have huge similarities that they never should have, but you don’t need them to be 100% the same for the point to be pertinent, so you can accept it when someone points out differences.

“they will ban criticism of Israel” : they will only ban calls for end of Israel and equating Nazis and Israel. You can still criticize Israel. Its like saying “They ban fruits” when they only ban oranges. It’s still a problem, but you’re making it larger than it seems, that’s on the path of clickbait/sensationalism (i do not think that this was intended of you though, it’s just what comes out of the way you wrote it).
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 1 month ago:
It does not strictly punish antipathy towards a genocidal state, but rather antipathy towards a genocidal stage when they take the forms of call for an end of this state or equating this state with Nazis. It’s a problem, it’s bad, but please stop saying ‘they won’t let me say Israel is bad’ cuz that’s not the case (for the instance, don’t know about actual german state itself)
- Comment on Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments. 1 month ago:
Calling a state criminal, expantionist, genocidal, brutal, saying that they should answer for their crimes, give back palestinian territories immediatly, be boycotted by the whole world, even be subject to military intervention is still perfectly fine, and that’s clearly not “slight discontent”. If you were conscious of this, you message is huge bad faith.
What they do not allow is calling for the end of Israel, in any way. That’s indeed a major crackdown on freedom of expression, but it does not leave you wordless for Israel criticism, unless your only goal is to be against Israel, and you don’t care being alongside Palestine.
- Comment on Should try again tomorrow 1 month ago:
I interact with people that way, and find this very pleasant : trying to guess what subject they will be happy to talk about is a fun game, makes people happy, and is interesting most of the time. And from my experience, most people end up doing the same thing with you, and offer you some time to talk.
Now as you wisely said, we are a lot of different people with a lot of different way, so you’re right defending that there’s no ‘superior’ way, but there definitely is a way where being a people pleaser is pleasant :D
