The Great Replacement Theory: Christchurch and Buffalo Shooting
By: Abdullah Abdeen

From Christchurch in New Zealand to Buffalo in the USA: How Does the Great Replacement Theory influence Young White Superamicist?

Three years ago, two consecutive mass shooting attacks took place on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand and resulted in the death of fifty people. These mass shootings came at a time when New Zealand had rarely been associated with far-right extremism. However, experts warned that extremism has been growing in New Zealand and the warning signs of an attack have been apparent. This brutal attack was carried out by a white Australian man called Brenton Tarrant, aged 28 years old at the time of the shootings. Having been arrested, the police found a 74-page manifesto entitled The Great Replacement, a reference to the "Great Replacement" and "white genocide" conspiracy theories.

On May 14th, 2022, another mass shooting took place in Buffalo, New York, at a Tops Friendly Markets store, a supermarket in the Kingsley neighborhood on the eastern side of the city. This attack resulted in the death of ten people and the injury of others. The shooter live streamed the attack on Twitch. The accused, identified as 18-year-old Payton S. Gendron, is reported to have shared a manifesto, describing himself as a white supremacist and voicing support for the far-right "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory.
In this context it is important to note that there are several points of similarity between the two cases. This is due to the fact that the two perpetrators were greatly influenced by the “Great Replacement Theory” disseminated by the French author Renaud Camus. According to our analysis, this theory is based on the idea of the "white race" supremacy and the necessity to maintain it.

In addition, it focuses on the principle that the migration of Muslims to European and Western countries represents a "genocide against the white race" which could eventually lead to the undermining the power of many countries, and the destruction of their societies, values and peoples.
This theory also inevitably entails labeling immigrants and Muslims as "invaders" whose existence in Western societies will not be at peace. Therefore, such attacks must be carried out in order to spread terror among those "invaders" and ultimately reduce immigration rates to Europe or reduce the number of Muslims living in these countries. Furthermore, the theory is originally derived from the idea that diversity represents a sign of weakness not strength, at all, for any country, and that countries promoting diversity, around the globe, are dominated by social, political, religious, and ethnic conflicts.

How durable do we think their Revenue is?

To remind us all, they're selling capitalized assets, not contracts or services.

Is the marginal demand for GPU chips over the next 3 years enough to sustain (or grow?) current revenues and keep this valuation afloat? To me, it feels like a comparatively fragile situation to find themselves in, to convince the world of 2025 that they need even more chips, unless "everybody needs to train their own LLM" is a secular trend.

I'm not sure if investors fully appreciate the nuances of this boom, or if I'm not fully appreciating how many GPUs "need" to be held by different companies (and sovereign entities, if you've read the headlines in the last couple weeks) to train LLMs in the coming decade.
I can't argue against "if you're that good at it". I do know most people lie and they lie a lot. Often at work.

If you've ever called in sick, pretended to be thrilled at someone's birthday gift (not family), told your boss you were stoked about a project that you certainly were not and felt believed -- tap into it!
Define performant and define maintainable.

If you have a lot of duplicated functionality in a web frontend and backend, it may be a lot more maintainable to do the development once and not have to keep two implementations in sync.

As far as performance, if you’re using one of the JS application frameworks with server-side pre-rendering time to interactivity may very well be faster than anything you can build in Go or Rust.
Are you seriously not knowing what .cpp in llama.cpp stands for?
I’d also add that the knowledge of what’s possible diffuses to abusers a lot quicker than it diffuses to, say, the grandparents of victims.

yeah okay, I might not mainly just because i'm trying to write an overview on the zero-day marketplace, with case studies and getting as niche on specific things as possible.

Talking of that, you seem like an expert, is there any super interesting things regarding the zero day marketplace I can research and write about? (in buying, selling, brokerage or anything really)
Was very sad to see the monthly cost rise from $5 to $9 over the history of the product. Same product, no real changes (I guess adding in more historical versioning, which was an additional cost, but now might be baked in)

Disk prices (which I would assume are their biggest vector to scale) has dramatically decreased since then.

I know there are other factors but it seems like nearly doubling the cost while cutting everything that is unlimited (except one product tier) and pushing everything else to consumption based - is a bit weird.

Their client seems super fast and efficient. I do enjoy that. But it too has had some odd limitations and for the most part I haven't had any changes to what I need from it from any perspective since it's been $5/mo. Certainly not with this new bump.

The ego depletion literature is sort of a minefield. The lack of replicability of the classic ego depletion phenomenon is pretty clear but (like a lot of psychological phenomena) there tends to be nitpicking about definitions, and strawmen disproofs.

The ego depletion idea specifically refers to the idea that exercising self-control leads to self-control fatigue, which leads to a rebound effect.

No doubt there's self-control and attention in climbing, but I think another phenomenon of "attentional focus leads to fatigue which leads to poor decision" or "physical exertion leads to fatigue which leads to poor decision" is not specifically an ego depletion phenomenon.

I'm not really trying to be pedantic, more thinking out loud about how phenomena that seem closely related and similar can get dismissed because of a very narrow definition of something.

There's also something to be said for lab versus real-world tests of ego depletion. I've always suspected that whatever you can do in a lab ethically is not ever going to be a real-world test of ego depletion. If nothing else, it happening in the context of some study suggests that people know there's an "out", and anything that would really induce fatigue to moral temptation probably wouldn't be approved by an IRB, at least easily.

I've always been skeptical of the original ego depletion phenomena as outlined in the original studies, in part because they never seemed to rule out alternative explanations well, but also have guessed that there's some variant phenomenon that is similar and explains similar things better. I also don't agree with the author that the ego depletion idea is "silly". Everyone knows about fatigue, and the idea it could be applied to temptation isn't unreasonable (on the face of it, this is how a lot of people often explain binging). Something can be incorrect but reasonable.
Sex is normal - making rape lists and sexual harassment/abuse is not. There’s quite a bit of consensual middle-ground between “sexless Victorian vulcans” and outright sexual harassment/abuse and the latter shouldn’t be tolerated regardless of who it is.

The authors specifically state that they do not think that GenAI is snake oil. You can’t legitimately argue that it is.

On the other hand, I’m not sure that you can legitimately argue that it is not over-hyped. The only way that it isn’t is if we achieve “singularity” imminently - because that it is what a sizable number of people, including possibly some people at OpenAI, are actually expecting.

> 'We' as in the US

I'm not in or from the US. I did once (2019-2020) spend 11 months officially living in the US, though even that was broken up by two 1-2 week trips to Christchurch and Moscow.

When I say "we can quickly get gas and oil from elsewhere" I am, obviously, meaning "we" as Europe. Sure, it was a scramble, but it was done, and contrary to Russian propaganda a year ago, no one in Europe went cold last winter.

> I'm sure the US backed this as much as they have because of projected earning in supplying mainland Europe with natural gas

I don't really care why the US tells themselves they are backing Ukraine. It's simply the right thing to do.

Firstly because Ukraine has been making a very serious attempt to follow the paths of countries such as Poland and Czechia who were lucky to get leaders of the calibre of Lech Walesa and Vaclav Havel right after the end of the Soviet Union. Ukraine wasn't so lucky in the 90s. It's even harder to do now, but they've been doing it, electing better leaders, rooting out corruption, choosing their own friends. That's what Putin can't stand.

Secondly, and more importantly, because Putin should have been called out for his shit a lot sooner, not appeased. It was hard to do something about the Chechan wars as that is internal to Russia, but serious steps should have been taken after the invasion of Georgia in 2008, at the latest.
Maybe the reality isn't evenly distributed. I'm supposedly at the working end of that job and can't immediately recall seeing the result of that transition.
"Why be EXTRA courteous to women? Already reveals you think of them as different."

Because that's the ways boys were taught by BOTH schools and their parents when I was a kid not only from our youngest age but also it was reinforced throughout highschool until we left. This was sacrosanct value of good behavior in our society until recently.

It's a damn shame that you and others like you are not old enough to have a sufficient sense of history to realize the problems and damage you are causing by accusing innocent people like me for having the normal views and values of my society's culture.

It is extremely upsetting and unfair that you make such allegations. I'm not responsible for society having turned its values upsidedown in recent years.

Not me.... This is a 30+% increase for my 2 year plan. I have no need for the "extra" things. If I wanted them, I would pay for them. I now have til April to find another solution for 1 pc and about 7tb. Worst case, I will just buy an external and ship the drive to my parents. Use my Synology for local backup, and then the offsite drive. Not ideal but better than this increase.

Not to mention how BB is handling the pushback of the price increase by gaslighting their users.

Personally I think that's a great response. Continuous schema mapping, gotcha-patching, and formalization of undocumented knowledge is imperative, and this can be solved by engineers using an ongoing process. Kudos on the launch.

I did an NL-to-SQL startup, but now I think is a much better time to do this.

This definitely also used to be true on macOS. Bun previously would just request the max ulimit for file descriptors and then not close them. Most tools don't realize there are hard and soft limits to file descriptors, and the hard limit is usually much higher.

On Linux, not closing file descriptors makes opening new ones on multiple threads occasionally lock for 30ms or more. Early versions of `bun build` were something like 5x slower on Linux compared to macOS until we narrowed down that the bug was caused by not closing file descriptors.
> you've selected on employees who lack knowledge about their own power

Which is the majority of employees. Because...

> employees who are more proactive and entrepreneurial about negotiating

...aren't going to remain employees for too long; they are going to end up starting their own businesses because they realize that the upside is so much greater. Which means, first, that, to them, the job at your company is not a career; it's a temporary day job while they get set up to pursue their real goal. And second, that at any given time these kinds of employees will be a fairly small minority of all the people in the job market.
The health anxiety in me just found a whole new lifeline.
> But that's for at-rest inertia. Photons are only very rarely if ever "at rest".

Not just rarely; photons are never at rest, period. In circumstances where one might intuitively think they might change speed, instead they change frequency.

That includes that they do not change speed in materials with a different index of refraction than a vacuum, but in that case, they do seem to, so as a shorthand it's often said that the speed of light in e.g. glass is slower than in a vacuum, but that's really just a shorthand -- so that's a can of worms.

Anyway your second equation is the full version of your much more famous first equation precisely because we need the extra term for photons (or any other massless things).

>That's not the same as saying you would refuse any offer for less. So you haven't answered the question I actually asked.

The question is ambiguous, in some cases I stood on my number and would not take anything less, in other cases I renegotiated for other compensation e.g. less base, for much higher sign up bonus. Don't see how is this relevant though.

Essentially, after each side called a number, no matter the order, you are either in agreement or with the employer's number lower than yours. The final outcome in the latter case will be either rejection, or a number between these two. You claim that if the employer calls the number first, the final number will magically be higher than if the candidate called the number first. I don't see how is this feasible unless the employer always calls the maximum possible number or close to it.

>In other words, you're moving the goalposts.

Not really, I did not edit my message, just read it again, the goalposts are still there.

>I don't see how. You've told them you'd accept an offer from them for 210, but now you're reneging

I just wrote how, say you've got another offer. In your model, if employer said 200 first and you, using your strategy responded with 250, and while the employer is thinking or negotiating further, you've got an offer for 260 from another company, how is this different? Are you going to take 250 if offered even though you have 260 on hand?

>You're assuming that the company will interpret your giving them the 210 number up front as a sign that your negotiating position is strong. I think they will assume the opposite: that your negotiating position is weak.

I think you are personalizing things too much, nobody really cares. The HM has a vacancy that needs to be closed ASAP, not a need to demonstrate who is strong and who is weak.
My hypothesis is that a lot of high-status intellectuals are reflexively dismissing AI out of fear that it threatens their status, as AI poses to turn intellectual labor into a cheap commodity rather than the premium bespoke product they offer it as via their professorships, speaking fees and book sales.

Most criticism of AI has all the hallmarks of coping mechanisms. They seem to shift quickly between declaring it an ineffective parlor trick, and then say it's so good and effective that it poses a risk to the human spirit. There are a lot of legitimate criticisms I've seen, especially of OpenAI's potential regulation capture and misuse of models, but calling it all snake oil is hilariously naïve and seems more like a fear of change.
Because there's a large productivity gain from being able to use one language for both the frontend and the backend, and server-side JS tooling is far more mature and usable than client-side Go or Rust.
There's footage of a crashing aircraft circulating on Twitter and reddit[0], purportedly of this particular aircraft, and in one of the clips a plume from a missile can be seen. The aircraft depicted is clearly missing some of the vertical stabilizer and other flight surfaces which is consistent with a surface to air missile, which tends to bring down the targets by fragmentation damage (the aircraft doesn't explode in a Michael Bay fireball despite common belief).

Furthermore the abrupt descent shown on the speed data suggests a catastrophic in-flight breakup, rather than something like a multiple engine failure wherein the aircraft would be able to glide, so being shot down or a bomb being detonated on board seem like the most likely causes. My money's on the former.

> set up a VM with an ancient python version

Maybe just use virtual environment?
+1 for GeoWorks which ran a lovely suite of bundled programs amazingly well on a 286, and was preinstalled alongside MS-DOS on some systems in the early 90s. Despite being a quality product, apparently development was a major pain (expensive documentation and bad workflow), while Windows rode a wave of third party software to market domination. An interesting footnote to the Windows story of the era, and a cautionary tale perhaps. But FWIW I still run Ensemble in a VM :).

If you really think that climate science is as robust as the knowledge of the fact that the earth is not flat, I suggest picking up a book and reading a little bit about it.

Twitter is full of videos of FSD drives and they seem to work very well now. You can see the software improvements from older drive videos on the same channel (running the same hardware).

I think it's important to look at the current state of FSD beta, not the past state from more than a year ago.

That's a strange title.

Russian warlord Prigozhin who challenged Putin 2 month ago is dead (together with 9 others) after his plane was shut down in Russia by a rocket (most likely an execution ordered by Putin).
The fundamental model of company valuation is that the company's equity is worth the accumulation of the company's future cash flows, typically discounted by some rate so that predicted cash flows 5 years from now are worth some % less than 100%, with the intent of pricing in uncertainty.

Nvidia has had a watershed moment of revenue growth, because they're the only significant player in the space of top-of-the-line GPUs for training LLMs.

Their current valuation bakes in the assumption that not only is this unprecedented level of pricing power durable, but that top line revenue will also grow significantly over the next few years.

Reminder that Nvidia is selling chips, mostly to datacenters, whose purchasing habits are primarily driven by "customer" demand (where customers are, in this case, tech companies wanting to train neural nets).

So a bet that they go up from here is a bet that datacenters will want at least as many chips in the next N continuous quarters, and will be willing to pay the current premium that Nvidia is charging, today. The corollary is you're betting that "customer demand" for ever-improving GPUs is climbing an incredibly upwards, secular (read: permanent, non-cyclical) trajectory, such that it outpaces the assumptions of these already-lofty expectations.

I think betray my own opinion, but the price is what it is. :)
> it feels optimized for porn

So I was relatively unimpressed with the first few images, they looked incredibly unrealistic. But then after reading this message i decided to add "topless" to the notes just to see how crazy the result was.

I was actually impressed, it returned an image that actually looks lifelike once I gave it an adult request. Which reinforces the idea that this was optimized for porn.

For those curious, this was the result I was provided. NSFW of course, topless female gender (ai generated): https://generated.photos/human-generator/64e6c26e190809000fb...
> salaries are not negotiated and are systematically the same for all employees in the same seniority ranks

What companies actually do this? In my experience, none. Not even governments actually do this, though on paper many will claim they more or less do.

> Later, the surfaces of those bullae were impressed with the tokens to be sealed inside so that a bulla’s contents could be divined without having to break it open. Once it became apparent that the signs on the outside were as useful as the tokens on the inside, the tokens themselves became surplus to requirements

My understanding is they continued to use bulla. They would create a clay version of a contract and then seal it inside of a clay "envelope". Then the contract would be replicated on the outside of the envelope. People could read the outside of the envelope to see what the contract stipulated, but if there was ever a disagreement (charges of the outside having been altered) then the envelope could be broken open to check the version inside to see if it matched the version on the outside.

> The plan is to run our own servers on the edge in datacenters around the world. Oven will leverage end-to-end integration of the entire JavaScript stack (down to the hardware) to make new things possible.

So how does oven-sh the company make money? It sounds like you release Bun open source, and then sell access to your edge infrastructure to enterprises?

Is these edge servers basically a running a smarter version of NPM with a CDN? Can you say more about what this may eventually do?

Will individuals be able to use the edge servers via some free tier?

Does Bun in it's current form use this edge infrastructure already?
