We are in agreement on many topics. Where we diverge is in the mythologizing of deterministic western fascism without making the same potential attribution to failures at implementing socialism. This is, simply put, a failure at critical analysis. History has seen both cases. The idea that the Chinese system is the answer to, or even a protective force relative to western imperialism, simply because it exists as an alternative, is flawed reasoning. I would even say dangerous reasoning. The path forward is understanding and learning from the failure and success in all systems through history. In China’s case, a big part of that is literally the inability to discuss its failures. And I’m not just talking about the legal state of China itself, but also the broad hesitancy to acknowledge this as a failure within leftist circles.
These acknowledgements do not collapse any house of cards unless it has been built on fragile ground in the first place.


You are doing the age old ML trick of attaching the rights which convey political agency to a specific historical epoch of economic liberalism. If we are to understand that the Chinese socialism is a process which inherently must navigate through flaws and imperfections of the material conditions it is dealt, then surely we much acknowledge the same of the western struggle. And yes, it is a struggle all the same, albeit from a position of historical privilege.
In reality there is nothing about the enshrinement of individual rights which requires or implies capitalism or imperialism, other than historical snapshot these things have been attached to. It is no more correct than saying all socialism requires autocracy. In fact, we have an entire century of revisionist thinking which modifies Marx with this specific goal in mind. So just as China approaches this struggle from a more Orthodox perspective inspired by Lenin and molded by a period of historical oppression (itself a bit or a contradiction given China’s broader history), the west’s struggle is throwing off the shackles of its comparative success and influence which binds it to so much old world influence. Both molded by imperialism in different ways. Both currently stuck in a vicious cycle of capitalism, thrust on them by material reality.


If the proletariat is the class that benefits from their own work and the government has their popular support, is this really the red fash, authoritarian exploitation that the other comments and western media assume it to be
Yes, because without basic political rights which do not exist in China, Chinese workers have no political agency by which they can express a political preference. It is entirely possible that given such freedoms, the Chinese people would implement the exact same system of government they have now, but there is no way to know that since the functional basis for political self determination does not exist.
It’s actually incredibly shocking how many people online seem to actually think that violence is a justifiable response to insults or “disrespect,” and it seems like it’s shifting even more aggressively in that direction every year. I honestly can’t think of many things less worthy of respect, or more pathetic than escalating a situation beyond words because you got your feelings hurt or you got out in your place. If you don’t like feeling that way then maybe take it as a lesson.

The problem is that Lemmy also has no news communities, because they are all just tankie campgrounds.


OSI is much more important when you are doing wireless protocol design. TCP/IP is when you want to abstract out a lot of the lower layer functionality which is concerned with collision domains. It is definitely still taught in engineering school for a reason.

My anthropomorphized climate change is a hot cat girl.


Some memory leaks are logic errors, and this is honestly the irony of modern dynamic languages. I have actually gotten into the argument in interviews before - it is arguably safer (and better) to work from maximal static memory allocations with memory safe data objects than it is to implement dynamic memory algorithms just because they are fun coding problems.

Because maybe one day someone will send me something useful. Also I like the attention.
It’s meant as a portfolio and I don’t want to risk someone mistaking some contribution for my own work.
I don’t actually intend to put any time into maintaining it, but you are free to fork it if you want that responsibility.
Your linting is lousy. It causes my eyes much pain.


It will definitely be called Half Life Part 4, and it will break the Internet.


Pytorch being the defacto ML R&D language basically means that every ML engineer Facebook recruits is familiar with their workflows. This is an age old strategy in tech which goes back to the early days of Unix.

Tryhard forum shit. I actually deploy software on Linux and have 20 years using it professionally. I compiled my first kernel in the 90s. Ubuntu is fine. It’s easy, reliable and you can make it whatever you want.
Literally nothing of consequence has been built with visual, mda or no-code paradigms.
