The right of self-determination means that a nation may arrange its life in the way it wishes. It has the right to arrange its life on the basis of autonomy. It has the right to enter into federal relations with other nations. It has the right to complete secession. Nations are sovereign, and all nations have equal rights.

again, !bang is for searching using a specific search engine, !!bang is for redirecting to a search engine’s page

!g will search with google

!!g will redirect to google

all ddg bangs are supported to my knowledge, but obviously !bang will only work with the search engines searxng supports

different neural network types excel at different tasks - image recognition was invented way before LLMs, not only for lack of processing power, but also because the previous architectures didn’t work with languages. New architectures don’t appear out of thin air, they are created with a rough idea of what we could need to make the network do a certain task (e.g. NLP) better. Even tokenization isn’t blind codepoint separation but is based on an analysis of languages. But yes, natural languages aren’t “parsed” for neural networks, they don’t even have a formal grammar.

i’m not talking about knowing about how humans perceive/learn languages, i’m talking about language structure. Perhaps it’s wrong to call it “how languages work”

While I agree that LLMs can achieve human-tier efficiency at most tasks eventually (some architectural changes will be necessary, but the core approach seems sound), it’s wrong to say it’s modeled after the human brain. We have no idea how brains work as they’re super complex, we’re building artificial neural networks from the ground up. AI uses centuries’ worth of math, but with our current maths knowledge the code isn’t too complicated. Human brains aren’t like that, they can’t be summed up in a few lines of code because DNA is a huge mess that contains so much more than just “learning”, so many inactive or redundant bits and pieces. We’re building LLMs with knowledge of how languages work, not how brains work.

it might work with obfuscation, in general my preferred solution is VPN+proxy, the proxy is used for bypassing the DPI and doesn’t have to adhere to particularly high standards and can be easily swapped, and the VPN is used via the proxy for actually routing L3 traffic

Well, Tor (with bridges) still works just fine, I don’t really know any other “crowdsourced” proxy networks. Telegram isn’t blocked (it used to be, but everyone used it anyway, including people in the government, so they unblocked it), so any info there is freely available. Wireguard and OpenVPN are blocked (even within Russia for some reason), shadowsocks is throttled on certain connections but works fine, and I haven’t extensively tested anything else.

Also, mobile networks are used for testing stricter blocking measures before rolling them out to landline connections

not “any”, but some very specific ones

snowflake is actually blocked quite well

searxng has bangs too

this kind of software is mostly used for tech support, so your option is too hard to setup

I agree that’s a problem, but refresh rate is one of the fingerprinting methods, and resistFingerprinting doesn’t offer finetuning options (except canvas permissions?), which is what prevents me from using it

you can change that in about:config, i think privacy.resistFingerprinting is the culprit

as a rhythm gamer, I can say you’re full of shit lol

I have 240hz and the difference between 120hz and 240hz is somewhat noticeable, don’t see why I’d need any more than this though

Target Israel and we will target you. […] You have been warned.

by default, your content is all rights reserved, the most restrictive license possible. AI trains on “all rights reserved” content all the time. You really think adding a CC-BY-NC is gonna do anything?

there are two images for me on .ml as well (I use Eternity client, maybe that matters)

There’s an issue without you saying not because you don’t know econ 101, but because you do know it. Because you shift the focus from the systems (global imperialism) to the individuals (“so you shouldn’t be allowed to migrate?”). What causes migration is, objectively, unequal development of different countries caused by imperialism and inherent to the market system, and not “personal decisions”. That means shifting the talk to “personal decisions” is pointless and harmful.

It’s like going “oh but you voluntarily choose to buy/sell” and blaming all your economic problems on yourself.

No, migration is caused by economics, so it only makes sense to use economics to talk about it. In capitalism, migration follows the market laws, i.e. people migrating to where they expect to be paid more.

There’s no agency in the market. That’s the entire point of markets - being independent of a single human’s whims and being an equalizing force, the “invisible hand”.

And the entire point of communism is getting that agency, having production for the sake of humans rather than humans for the sake of production.
