Eiköhän ne ole ryssän trolleja, jotka suoltaa yhteiskuntaa jakamaan tarkoitettua propagandaa tuhansien bottien voimin ja ihmistyönäänkin.

Arvostan, että otit asian kuitenkin esille. Terve suomalainen tasa-arvoajattelu tekee paluun, kun osoitamme näiden rapakon takaa ja muualta tulleiden villitysten hölmöyden. Pääsemme jatkamaan oikeaa tasa-arvotyötä.

Puhun itse mieluummin tasa-arvosta, koska “feminismi” on nykyään ladattu niin raskaalla kuormalla ettei sen kantaminen ole enää edes tervettä. Varmasti feminismistä löytyy paljon terveitä asioita – ajalta ennen sen lataamista ääriajattelulla ja ylilyönneillä.

You are lucky to have a rantasauna. Enjoy!

Here in Spain, and in Gibraltar, there are many saunas, but only a few allow löyly. There’s a good one in Fuengirola, Hirsisauna. In Gib, I go to E1 Spa sauna, which is otherwise fine, but no löyly.

It’s kind of sad or even awkward that it has to be spelled out like this in the U.S.A. In other countries, people would have thanked and said something beautiful to express gratitude and celebrate friendship. In the U.S.A., you have to explain it like this ‘in clear terms.’ It feels so unrefined.

Trump is supported by untouchable oligarchies and influential business interests, including fossil fuels, weapons, gambling, and deregulation-focused industries. He also aligns with environmental exploitation, sweatshops, data abuse, predatory finance, and tax evasion—essentially, big money.

Even the theoretically highest form of intelligence, of any form anywhere in the universe, can never achieve more than locally optimal deployment of resources available to its operator. That means sustainable development, because value is future of life and it will optimize for that. 5/5

Take, for example, the traveling salesman problem (or any problem). If we know the best solution, we know what to do—optimally—but we still need to execute it, assuming we still like what we see. We save the difference in cost between the search and trial vs. the optimal solution. 4/5

Generalization is a tool for efficient organization of intelligence, similar to compression, also manifesting as predictive power of the abstract model that is the compressed result of generalization. It helps optimization because of its efficiency, not because of its expressive power. 3/5

Intelligence is life. There is no general intelligence. All intelligence is local like life is – adapted to its local environment. Local intelligence is optimizing – adapting. Optimization is what life is all about, what intelligence is all about. General only exists in abstract. 2/5

Vaikka lämpöopin toinen pääsääntö tekee resurssien ehtymisestä väistämätöntä pitkällä aikavälillä, voimme vaikuttaa siihen, kuinka nopeasti ja miten tämä tapahtuu. Yhteismaan tragedian nopeus ja kirjo ovat siten valintojemme ulottuvilla, mutta lopullisuutta ei voida täysin estää.

This is a good idea, thanks @petterijohansson.fi & @jjw.wtf!

However, I quickly scanned through some accounts on the list, and some had their following count only in the 100s. I only wish to block the really awful ones with counts in the high 1000s, to avoid flushing any babies with the bathwater.

I hope you are safe. I heard Kilauea is erupting again.

Weird how the headlines and reports keep focusing on this being a Chinese ship... But only seem to occasionally mention the reality that it is commanded by a Russian Captain (as if this was a mere trivial detail & an afterthought)

Talk about burying the lede!
