Microsoft successfully did that somewhere near Scotland iirc.


Kojima strikes again


Eh, we’ve kinda seen the opposite in the Netherlands. Far-right party got in right-wing coalition, things obviously failed to work out for them as they were completely dysfunctional, and they were punished in the next election. In countries without FPTP it’s much harder for these kinds of parties to get in control.


But the CDU is also promising to tackle immigration, and has actually delivered on some of it during their government. They were halved this election.
The fascist can always jump to the next topic. Immigration isn’t even the original boogeyman, there’s always another “other”. You can’t beat them at their own game, they’ll always promise a more radical, more “effective” solution, meaning you’ll never “do enough”. The only thing you’ll do is legitimize their viewpoint.
You need to address why people are looking for a boogeyman. And that’s because many of them appear to be worse off than they were a decade ago. They’re angry at traditional parties because they messed up economically and standard of living is going down. Address that, and you take away the oxygen that fuels the fire. Immigration didn’t cause the standard of living to go down, promising you’ll end it legitimizes those who claim it does.


Sure, but MAD has never actually been tested.
Suppose Russia drops a tactical nuclear warhead on Ukraine tomorrow. Will anyone start dropping nukes on Russia in response?
Suppose Russia starts a ground invasion of the Baltics; will France drop a nuke on them? Or would we just get another large-scale conventional war where neither side dares to touch their nukes?
No, you’re just violating the law twice that way: once for claiming it doesn’t violate the law, and once for false advertising.


But is that high demand or low availability?


He died recently, but he suffered a stroke some years ago that left him partially paralysed.


He’s suffered several health incidents including a stroke afaik. So maybe!


About 1:20, and the text above even missed the fundamentalist/reformer step: https://youtu.be/ANNX_XiuA78


Germany isn’t “doing nothing”, Germany is actively providing weapons to Israel to enable the genocide it is carrying out.


In France, sure. In Hungary the water level actually dropped below the intake valves so they physically couldn’t pump enough water into the reactor.


The device is a long way from restoring normal vision. The images it produces are black and white and the field of vision is extremely narrow. Hodak described the experience to the Financial Times as “kind of like looking through a straw in the center of their vision,” though he added that they see a pathway to color vision and higher acuity.


Yeah but that’s exactly what I mean when I say that defining consciousness as a scale brings us no closer to the (poorly defined) questions we have about these things. We don’t even know if we should define it as a one-dimensional number.
“When is something conscious?”
“Well it’s a scale so once it has a high enough consciousness number”
“Okay, so at what point in the scale do we consider it conscious?”
“Well that depends on how you want to define ‘conscious’”
So you get stuck with essentially the same question. And I think that expressing it as a scale also runs into the problem of “how do you measure it then?” which basically requires answering the original consciousness-question again.


Although I think it’s probably not a bad idea to think about it this way, it does create the next unhelpful question of “when is something conscious enough?”, so it kinda dodges the hard question. So it simultaneously is useful and useless to think about it in this way.


Excessive emissions.


fedinsfw.app looks like.
It’s not impossible, at least in C# I know you can mark objects that need to be RAII with some custom attribute and enforce correct usage patterns with a custom analyzer. You need to write it yourself but it’s not impossible that way.
