I hope I didn't make you feel like you had to justify your enjoyment of the show.

My point was, I haven't seen it but even I picked up on "woke" themes in the show and it is crazy to act like it became "woke".

I have never seen doctor who. What I know really doesn't speak to me, it seems too "random new being is the answer" to me. No hate against the show. I mean, I am fairly certain that I am basically complaining that a romance book is romantic.

That being said, doctor who seems to be quite obviously saying, be maximally tolerant and fight the tyrants and intolerant. which seems woke at this point.

When I was a child, we called it, not being a dick, but I guess it is woke now.

Just that master doesn't actually makes much sense in most git workflows.

If you understand master like you would understand the master/slave relationship in old tech, then of course, master seems to make sense until you realize that there is no slave in that sense or in name. Additional, master is rarely doing anything but having release or hot fixes being merged into it. Arguably dev is the master of the branches.

In other words, master was always a bad name. It is silly to rename it because "racism" but it is at least equally silly to act like master is a much better name than "main" or "live" or "prod" or ... Fuck, the list is long.

I don't see anyone making the claim that it is bad and for all, we know it is op's swing.

Why are you acting like someone said it is bad? Honestly, it feels like it is projection over your own shame over your preferences. But obviously I don't know and I don't claim that it is the case. Just saying, it makes that impression to me.

It is actually worse.

it is known that areas which got access to a formal education (schools), would get quickly much better average IQ score than before.

If just visiting school increases your IQ (some measurements suggest 14 points), then it is clearly not a fundamentale quality.

So even without specifically learning for the test, you can learn for the test.

Do I lose 100 points if I say "merica! Fuck yeah!" When I hear about us news?

That framing is bs. We have heard of ai screen tools long before there was any ai that would write a half way decent resume.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 weeks ago

Well the average is normed to 100. So 120 is not the minimum for above average. The top 9% of population would be above 115iq.

While high IQ is more of a diagnosis than anything, the statistics are real. I don't know why you don't want to consider top 9% as "high".

What is high in your opinion?

I am not promoting an idea. I am just stating simple facts. Just to contextualize the issue. People are underappreciating the relative peacefulness of protests.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 48 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Guys, remember protests are the alternative. Even the volent ones are the alternative.

Remember what humans did before we protested.

I have read books in which the definition of certain words get redefined to be more precise and clear in the communication while making things less verbose. I don't think an ai summary will reliably properly introduce me to the definition on page 100 of a book that took the previous 99 pages to set up the required definitions to understand the definition it gives on page 100.

But I could be wrong.

And electronic voting goes against the principles of a fair and free election.

One of the principles of such an election is that a layman can understand the process to verify the legitimacy of the election. The average citizens needs to be able to understand the election process.

Electronic voting either allows the state to track who voted for what and/or allows people to vote multiple times, or it is not possible for a layman to verify the legitimacy of the election.

Electronic voting are just plain anti democratic.

Edit: I am ignoring here the simple fact that closed source code is unverifiable and any voting machine running with e.g. windows would return unverifiable results. So I am ignoring the issues of the software stack of this machines, which we shouldn't.
