Raster (Clojure) can now compile to Wasm, the Valley example game is playable with this in the browser now replikativ.github.io/raster/valley/

This is a benefit of Linux/Open Source, they cannot just take things away from you like this. Use Signal.

Hold your breath and look to Germany: its election could decide the fate of Europe – and the UK | Martin Kettle

Please everybody wake up. It is really a problem that democracies always sit out problems for so long. There is no guarantee that things will end well.

NATO looks somewhat dead now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTCI...

If I have to bet I would say Canada is not going to exist in 2 years anymore. I think most Canadians have no clue how much economic leverage the US has over them. It can literally starve Canada to death through a naval blockade without any direct military engagement. Most people are still in denial.

Canadian EU membership is becoming more palatable, as strange as it seems. Probably it is just going to be more treatises, but it is also good for Europe to think more out of the box. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJKe...

You can ignore climate change. The political system can ignore climate change. But the insurance industry cannot ignore climate change.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

feel free to fight me: progressives will not be successful until they appreciate the importance of entrepreneurship 🌱 and successful economics 📈

That is right. A successful Germany needs the EU. It is the most important market for Germany.

Main take away: Nuclear energy production always was a massive money grab because it is a capital intensive monopoly business. Once you buy into it they can charge the utilities whatever they want and never deliver. Plant manufacturers like BBC explicitly strategized like this in Germany in the 80s.

Hoverboards have finally arrived, unfortunately only for factories... youtu.be/iSkd9ehhUI0?...

I love Emily Carr's work.

Lol

Yep, American farmers were put last by the closing of USAID.

Right wing populist strategy: "If Germany does badly the AfD does well." Discussion with vice chancellor @robert-habeck.de 🇩🇪 🇪🇺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv0F...

Of course, illegal libertarian freedoms for corporations, copyrighted subscriptions and fascism for you.

Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner" and every German knew that. We Europeans looked up to the US. That is impossible now. It is as if the US does not understand anymore how powerful it actually was and how much it is self-destructing right now.

Sorry, but American units are stupid. www.youtube.com/shorts/KW_bv...

Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day. Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

I also think this somewhat subtle and very technical route to control government makes sense from a computer science/AI perspective, but not to common people because of the abstract nature of organisational/financial control. One could argue it is maybe the first cybernetic coup attempt.

I think the protests are a very positive development in Serbia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Deer...

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Even in his wildest delirium this freak couldn’t have dreamed of dismantling the US soft power, but king ketamine achieved it in less than a week

It works smoothly & reliably and I highly recommend getting it.

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

Der missglückte Asylvorstoß des CDU-Chefs Friedrich Merz belegt eindrucksvoll, wie ungeeignet er für das Kanzlamt ist: So viel Kurzsichtigkeit und strategisches Unvermögen kann sich dort niemand wünschen.

I regret to inform I gotta hand it to Zizek again

A sci-fi dating sim was the top interactive story game in Japan for much of 2024, and a new dress-up game is driving the point home: ‘Games for girls’ are shedding that reductive label.

Interesting protests by students and civil society in Serbia for institutional accountability. Unfortunately the EU does not care much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2_m...

I wish I could have been there.

Good read.

As we learn to adapt to the new roles necessary to build with AI, having access to a broad set of perspectives and tools is a huge advantage. I hope this set of books can help others working to make the next set of advancements in AI engineering possible. #AI #ML #books

An opinion poll indicated that 85% of Greenlanders do not wish their Arctic island — a semi-autonomous Danish territory — to become a part of the United States, with nearly half saying they see interest by US President Donald Trump as a threat reut.rs/3CqJvtc

It is shocking to see how many people act as if they already have lost to Trump and fascism is there. WTF Americans? We Germans are not the greatest revolutionaries, but it took the Nazis at least a year to eliminate the opposition. Never give up any territory if you don't have to. Think & fight!

Oh no, the Chinese plagiarism machine might have plagiarized the American plagiarism machine search.app/gLKPBELL2weQ...

keep it real plz. deepseek v3/r1 mostly signify a catchup to existing models, combined with simplifications that reduce cost and they provide open weights + some documentation. it is pretty cool, but also not fundamentally new. i look forward to explore the models for code synthesis more...

hey you, stop scrolling and have a coffee <3 #pixelart

It is really important to understand that training costs are only a tiny fraction of the costs of running these models for inference at scale. This is what the infrastructure investments such as Stargate are mostly for.

Hitler was also a ridiculous loser when he came to power. He stayed a loser and made all Germans lose colossally, but people quickly stopped laughing.

For all Germans who wonder why we should fight in and for Ukraine, and why our historical obligation is more towards Ukraine and Eastern Europe than to Russia, watch this youtu.be/nLfFmYWjHtc?... I found it highly educating.

Here’s DeepSeek casually nailing question 6 of the 2024 VCE Specialist Mathematics exam. Just ‘cos. #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #EduSky

The new o1 canvas is quite impressive at coding from intent: "create an interactive tool that visually shows me how correlation works, and why correlation alone is not a great descriptor of the underlying data in many cases. make it accessible to nonmath people and highly interactive and engaging"

This is a big concern for ne as well, especially on this site. AI has many limitations, and there are lots of things to criticize about AI and lots to be concerned about (as well as lots of things that are very exciting and very positive for the world), but it isn’t fake or going away.

But I thought Kamala and Biden did a really, really great job ... The joy of Kamala did not even go away in her concession speech to "Hitler". That told you how detached they actually are and that is why Trump emerged in 2016.
