In this particular case yes, proven by the fact that such source can only be 'Russian' by their definition.

> Well, or they're inferring that the information is factually wrong.

How would DDG do this even if they wanted? Send fact checkers to the ground?

> When DuckDuckGo uses the word misinformation, what it means by that word is that DuckDuckGo thinks the information is factually incorrect, regardless of whether you are Russian or Chinese or American.

I agree with the last part. The problem here is they are only expressing the intent to flag disinformation from one side as factually incorrect, and do not even bother to do so for disinformation coming from the other side, thus creating bias, which is political in nature for the reasons explained above.

> To me, this just kind of circles back around to what I was originally saying. Are you upset about a result-sorting business doing its job and sorting results, or are you upset with this very specific decision, or... is it possible you're just upset that we don't have a more competitive market for search engines?

Not upset at all, does my tone give out a different vibe? Sorry for that.

None of this will change the fact that, you, as the driver bear primary responsibility for your own safety, and that of your passengers, when in control of a vehicle. Driver aids are helpful but are not a substitute for attentive and defensive driving.

If they had intended to reduce CO2 emissions consumption, they would have just increased taxes on things that cause CO2 emissions (e.g. a tax based on distance driven in a car that emits CO2). Or even easier, increasing taxes on fossil fuels.

However, the intent was to say they (politicians, society) did something about CO2 emissions without actually giving up anything. Which was accomplished.
Both of the first two sentences need to be there, I felt. (Camus uses very short sentences in the first parts of the book.) In the last part, the apparent lack of emotion in the face of his mother's death is used in evidence for Meursault's uncaring nature at the trial.
Here is a conspiratorial answer. Feel free to disregard it; I can't vouch for it.

Posted 4.5 months ago, here is a timeline to tyranny, purportedly from an ex-Pfizer scientist. https://stateofthenation.co/?p=91761 . It claims that in Phase 6, taking place between now and September, the elites have a plan in place to "Trigger the economic, financial and stock market collapse, the bankruptcy of the banks."

I'd love to hear something that contradicts this. It seems like an excellent explanation for provoking for war, and putting in sanctions. With fuel prices going crazy, and house prices already untenable for many, and governments spending many millions or billions of dollars they don't have for Covid relief, it really does seem reasonable that an underhanded organization could bring down the world economy.

Fun times indeed.
I personally am a fan of basis free linear algebra.

More importantly though, “tensors” as commonly used in machine learning seem to rely on a single special basis, so they really are just multidimensional arrays. A machine learning algorithm isn’t really invariant under a change of basis. For example, the ReLU activation function is not independent of a change of basis.

It may well be less deadly, but it is far more contagious. Reinfection also seems to be not uncommon. We do not fully understand the long term effects of even a mild case, or indeed how repeated reinfection might compound any such effects, given that we might expect to catch it once or twice a year as opposed to once or twice in our lives for flu.

I wonder how much data you could encode in an RSS feed and therefore retrieve from services like Feedly?

I remember reading a while ago about movie piracy sites that would store chunks of encrypted video inside images and host these images on services like Google Drive, and then client side download these 'images' in order to reassemble a film. I wonder if a similar thing would be possible with and RSS feed? Feedly seems more than happy to store the entire content of every post I've made!
that's the stated goal of Gab and its sub-brands, but [insert reasons for why they're bad here]
"A no-fly zone" is one of the worst misnomers out there. In this case, it means that NATO - and specifically the USA - will start shooting Russian aircrafts. Sending NATO aircraft is not different from sending tanks. I understand why Ukrainians are asking for it but there is a reason NATO can't get involved.
its easy just add antibiotics to the slurry
I think of lab-grown meat as harm reduction. It will almost certainly be more resource-intensive than a vegan diet, but less so than raising an entire animal for the fraction that becomes edible.

It will also produce less waste, or at least better-controlled waste, than raising an entire animal. But again, more than a purely plant-based diet.

I can't give you numbers, but really, I can't see any reason for you to switch away from a vegan diet if you're satisfied with it. However, a lot of other people will switch from an animal-based diet to one that is somewhat more responsible and causes considerably less pain and suffering.

All meat eaters live with a certain cognitive dissonance on that, which most simply ignore because they consider plant-based diets insufficient. And as a vegan you know that a healthy plant-based diet isn't always easy -- though made a little easier recently by some highly processed products that aren't really all that much better for health or the environment.
I remember asking about this at one of the community meetings in Redwood City for the San Mateo 101 Express Lanes project. Projections at the time showed a clear trend in increased car traffic on the 101, and thus even HOV lanes would have the same traffic jams as the regular lanes. They couldn't even keep the express lanes as HOV 2+; they needed to change it to 3+ in order to ensure a minimum travel speed of 35mph during rush hour.

That said I do find it amusing that if you drive up the I-5 up to Oregon, people suddenly know to keep the left lane clear as a passing lane as soon as you cross into Oregon. (But cross back into California and the _exact same cars_ in your pack will suddenly coast slowly in the leftmost lane.)
I drove an automatic Renault lent to me by an employer around Lyon, France for several weeks in 2005. Manuals are common in Europe, but automatics certainly exist there as well. One of the cars I routinely drive in the US today is a 5 speed manual. I do like manuals. They're a hassle if you need to operate a cell phone while driving, but that's just a bad idea in any case. One wonders if there were more manuals on the road if there would be fewer t-bone wrecks caused by people texting through red lights.

We're talking about escaping an autocratic authoritarian government. With BTC you can simply cross the border and recreate your wealth in a way that protects you from that government accessing it - that's my point.

> On a pedantic level

Well, if you're going to be pedantic:

There's a fundamental distinction, which you're missing, between initiated force and defensive force.

When someone robs or murders, that's initiated force. When the police use force to stop a robber or murderer, that's defensive force.

A "call to violence" is only applicable to initiated force.

For example, if I say, "let's murder Bob," that's a call to violence. If I say, "The police should arrest the murderer of Bob," that's not a call to violence.

Calling for a NATO no-fly zone is calling for defensive force, not initiated force, and thus is not a "call to violence."

I hope you can see how unjust and absurd it would be to call the defense of innocents a "call to violence."
it's unbecoming to willfully misinterpret someone's statement in order to make a point distinct from that which they were making, and then to go on to agree with said willful misinterpretation.
Sure but if you’re working with lists you shouldn’t call them queues. Similarly if you’re working with mere multidimensional arrays don’t call them tensors.

>> If the camera firmware is secure, you can't fake this.

while I agree, I think it's important to start somewhere. using Fear Uncertainty & Doubt as an excuse not to try is to admit defeat forever always. this is a good enough start.

> I don't get what this part is supposed to solve.

This seemed clear to me so I'm not sure what the confusion is. The previous stated it clearly: if someone steals your image, you can prove that your created the Jpeg based off your raw. This seems like a pretty clear boon. Your disbelief seems rested upon the premise that even trying is futile:

> and there's basically no hope of some sort of TEE to keep the private key secure.

Again, I agree that there's a lot of difficulty in securing systems, in locking down keys. Generally I think that weights far more in society & civilization's favor than it's disadvantage. Even if this system proves unworkable, the idea of it seems on target, & correct. The idea that we can take a work, sign it, and create derivate works, which are signed by yet another party, seems like a generally positive mechanism that I want to see.

The agent I see missing is being able to use Certificate Transparency to sign your own (ideally rotating) key. Relying on Polaroid to sign your photos is probably only semi-ok, yeah, them & everyone else will probably have their private keys extracted from the devices in short enough time, and those keys aren't going to rotate (at least in the current world). But if I an artist can declare in a semi-public way my keys, rotate them every hour, and sign my photos with those keys, and- chiefly- have Certificate Transparency make that timestamped key attestable- then we're going somewhere.

Please let's not just accept defeat. Please let's try to imagine how technologies can work, not just how everything is worthless & we should give up. This is a noble & good specification.
> author describes tensors as things behaving according to tensor transformation formula

Yeah, the idea that there are pre-existing things that we're trying to describe is somewhat weird to me when we're trying to come up with a definition of a tensor. The whole point of mathematics is that you come up with the definitions and theorems fall out.

In particular, this comment is funny and speaks to some difference in how I and the author view what we're doing when defining a tensor:

> But why that specific transformation law - why must tensors transform in that way in order to preserve whatever object the tensor represents?

Because we defined it like that! When you make the definition "a tensor is a thing that follows X laws", you don't get to ask why, you just defined it!

Just a funny bit of phrasing, I get what is meant :)

Then that means the driver should plan to be in a lane close to exiting as far back as necessary to avoid dangerous maneuvers. Even if using a GPS, it'll usually say which exit you need to take; just combine that with the sign markers every so often that say the upcoming exits and you'll know how soon the exit you need is coming up. It's really not that difficult.
Not high.

Russia is a military and nuclear power, not an economic one. Their economy is surprisingly small. As others have pointed out, nothing they make outside of the energy sector is unique - it could all be replaced by other countries. All in, Russia accounts for less than 2% of global GDP.

If you're going to worry, focus on the fact that you have a nuclear-armed former superpower that is getting humiliated and cancelled on the world stage and may at some point decide they have nothing to lose.

> Russian soldiers invading Ukraine are combatants. Discussing battle tactics against soldiers is not the same as calling for violence against Russian civilians.

That's correct. That's why I'm puzzled by the phrase "Russians and Russian soldiers". The idea of attacking the former sounds like a nightmare. And I'd say it's a quick way for Ukraine to lose at least some international support. Defending your country is the right thing, attacking innocent people is the opposite of that.
