Is this a war crime? [freneticwolf] [FRENCORE]

If I learned anything from c/noncredibledefense, it's that it's never a war crime the first time.

we migrate to a location where we can get sensible people together in a location.

This has already been happening for quite some time. People move to be around others like themselves. It's why northern Idaho has been taken over by far-right newcomers, and why so many LGBTQ folks move to places like Seattle or greater Boston. Hell, the Free State Project has been actively trying to pack New Hampshire with libertarians for almost 25 years. The result of this self-segregation is stark political boundaries with easily-identified in- and out-groups. But we're all still part of the same overall nation, so there's a distinct political split and culture war politics take center stage. Hence our position.

Then we can rebel against the for profit system by protecting each other with weapons, food, community.

History tells me that secession by force is a losing proposition.

I don't have a good solution. It's tempting to organize and try to make peaceful secession a palatable political outcome, though that's a long and difficult path with a lot of vested interests in the way.

Hunters: is camo just cosplay?

Jump

Yeah, it's a fun show. I never thought I would care about a fashion podcast. Avery does an awesome job.

I happened to be passing by the Maryhill Museum a few years ago, and had to stop in to see the Théâtre de la Mode dolls. Had I not heard the episode about them I don't think I would have appreciated the exhibit nearly as much.

There is definitely a fashion aspect to camo. Less so in hunting, and more so in the military world. Relevant fashion podcast:

The rare times I have been hunting we wore blaze orange hats & vests with no camo at all. Not getting shot by accident was priority #1, avoiding hypothermia was priority #2.

Read lots of history. Humans have not changed in thousands of years. Though the details of our current problems may be new, the underlying motivations and mechanisms are the same as the have always been. And despite all of our problems, the trend line of humanity is moving in the right direction. Try to remember that progress is not linear. Rather, it is a constant pattern of three steps forward, two steps back.

I don't have a comprehensive collection, unfortunately. If you Google around you can find partial collections on sites like this:

Who works at a (tech) company that's not delirious about AI?

Jump

kersploosh @sh.itjust.works 6mo ago

Medical device industry here. Some of our software and electrical engineers are using Claude as a sounding board for ideas, or as a starting point to find possible paths forward when they get stuck with a hard problem. Nobody trusts the model to give an accurate answer. Nobody is being encouraged to use AI models. At the end of the day, all work committed to a project is done by real humans with the normal review processes.

Management is cautiously looking at potential uses for AI in our products, but there is a healthy dose of skepticism all around. If your machine is displaying diagnostic data to a doctor there cannot be any question as to whether the machine is hallucinating.
