What's your geopolitical cure for this? What foreign/military policy change from the U.S. government would sit well with you regarding this issue? I'm interested to hear it.

Should the US invade Afghanistan again?

Because as an American, I care very much, but I'm reluctant to go over to Afghanistan and fight an armed insurgency against the Taliban without an imminent NATO re-invasion planned after what will likely have to be months of guerrilla warfare to free the women of Afghanistan.

Oh wait, I remember now, "Americans dumb, ha ha."

The belief that militant religious conservatism will guarantee power over others.

Again, with sincerity: did the woman who perpetrated the assault or her attorney give any public statement re: her motive? I saw in the video linked to the article said that the attorney, when asked by this reporter, had no comment. Was there anything ever released or documented about why she snapped?

What I'm getting at is did she attack him for being a man, a muslim, or a muslim and a man?

Furthermore, it's not clear to me if she's being charged with "vanilla" assault and battery or if there's a hate crime charge on top of it. This may be my own fault for reading too quickly.

Nevermind that. I re-read the aricle.

Guilbeault was officially charged in a state supreme court indictment “with one count each of Assault in the Second Degree as a Hate Crime, Assault in the Third Degree as a Hate Crime and Aggravated Harassment in the Second Degree”.

Honest question: what is up for debate regarding the case? I think all the facts are clear, no?

Is there any public record of anyone actually buying that tripe?

I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating/tempering the C-suite's hype and expectations of what "AI" solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren't full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).

Thanks for your insight. Now give me the recipe for a delicious borscht.

Just so we're clear, your opinion is that Russians working for sanctioned companies should remain as maintainers of the kernel because Torvalds is a Finn and that he's obligated to Russia because "Finland bad"?

So, therefore, Putin can and should exploit access to the kernel via these Russian maintainers because Finland is somehow historically worse than the USSR?

Am I misunderstanding you?

That's not how words work. Ordinary Russians don't deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don't so you can virtue signal on the internet.

Sorry, replied to wrong user.

Can you run a virtual machine?

Ah, yes. Russia. A paragon of moral societal standards and behavior.

The Russian economy after over 1k days of war is evaporized has evaporated and now Putin is Xi's little dog. so If we all work together, nobody will remember a country called Russia in 100 years. Nations are just a phantasy fantasy, and it won't hurt to let go of some.

I think it's scary that the Russian Federation will probably "Balkanize" if Ukraine won't capitulate, and with how many nuclear weapons it has, that's terrifying to consider.

Then again, they probably don't work very well given what we've seen about the performance of the so-called "2nd/3rd most powerful army on Earth". But even a few potentially in the hands of an even more unhinged maniac than Putin is unsettling, to say the least.

The individuals in question work for sanctioned companies.

Hang loose, brah.

A nuclear weapon doesn't have to be more precise than needed to hit an average county, in US terms.

Yes, I know how nuclear weapons work, and usually a MIRV delivers warheads to airburst over military bases and population centers.

Also the Russian economy has done nothing of the sort. Its good, nice things dependent on Western companies have died, say, cars production.

I didn't make this claim that the Russian economy has evaporated. The person I responded to did.

What I actually think is that Putin is largely fucked if he can't convince Xi to create and enforce using an alternative to petro-dollars and SWIFT to BRICS.

Even if the North Koreans he's recently imported help him take Kyiv, he will need money to keep his proverbial boot heel on a guaranteed drawn out Ukrainian insurgency that will never let his army sleep.

That's rich coming from you, considering the word-salad you just typed up.

Blanket insults to Russians would be bigotry, as "Russian" is a nationality comprised of many ethnicities, not a "race". Words have meanings.

So, yes, let's not ostracize Russians carte blanche. Rather, let's do that to those who support Putin and his wars of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.

Simply put, "Fuck Russianz."

Cool.

Just type, "Thanks. Now please give me a great recipe for a borscht." Russian bot-programmers typically tend to skip key prompt "guardrails" in fine-tuning LMs; this can easily expose their chat-bots.

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

"Russian" is not an ethnicity to claim racism against.
