I’ve been searching for 30 minutes and couldn’t find what you’re talking about. Can the burden of proof lie with the accuser please?

How is emptying a database table not easy? If you’re hosting your own public forum that should be child’s play.

… supporting and endorsing genocide. … The entire fucking internet already caters to you people.

This is what I’m upset about. Why does every minor fediverse problem have to devolve into “us vs them (and they’re definitely nazis btw)”? Piefed doesn’t control the entire fediverse platform. If you want propoganda in your feed you can join an instance that allows it. And if you’re going to accuse people of supporting genocide bring some fucking proof.

Not everyone on the fediverse is a free speech absolutist and that’s fine. Having blocklists doesn’t make an instance equal to the corporate hellscae of facebook and reddit. Be upset about things that matter please

I’m starting to think these are deliberate attempts to start a fediverse flame war.

Piefed has an easily lifted block on right wing propoganda, boohoo. Oh no, piefed called a Marxist-Lenninist website Marxist-Lenninist, how can I turn this into drama somehow

AMD Ryzen CPUs have reportedly seen over a 50% price increase in Japan, likely due to AI.

… CPU prices could reportedly increase as software developers shift toward running cloud-based AI-related applications locally.

Who tf is running ai models on cpus? The source seems to be a Chinese report by intel:

… The goal was to achieve a cumulative price increase of 30% based on 2025 prices, thereby recovering the investment in capacity expansion and meeting the return expectations of the capital market and investors…

… some users, especially software developers, are choosing to deploy AI-related applications locally, thus creating strong demand for AI PCs … The core growth is concentrated in the high-end thin and light laptop and thin and light gaming laptop user groups…

So the reason AMD’s desktop cpus suddenly got more expensive in Japan is because Intel is expecting an increase in ultrabook sales? I’m unsatisfied

Waiting for some genius to calculate how many people this statistically means

It still has idiosyncrasies that create friction. Looking like it’s from early 2000s is much less of a problem imo than confusing buttons and unintuitive workflows. E: It’s also strangely laggy and multimonitor support on wayland is still not fixed

It is not an opinion that people don’t earn money by randomly trading with others, wtf are talking about??

I’m actually triggered about this

Scientific American isn’t an academic journal and there’s no paper about this published in 2017. There’s a Scientific American article about it written in 2019 though. I think you’re referring to the part in the article that says it matched real world data remarkably after they modified it in 2017.

I don’t think this model is an x-ray that reveals the bones of the system, as its premise about how it works is plainly inaccurate. Maybe scientists can gain actual insight by studying it further but I don’t think drawing conclusions such as the title on social media is healthy.

At best the model teaches why gambling is a bad idea even if the chances are perfectly even. At worst someone looks at this and decides all anti capitalist evidence must be flimsy

Edit: Nvm found the paper you were talking about. Once again, it is based on this but it is not this. Either way it doesn’t conclude that since it is similar it must be the underlying reason.

I don’t think this is as good a model as you or the oop seem to think it is. Nobody is under the impression that you can make even by buying and selling random things. And gambling your money against other people isn’t something people can afford to do unless they already have money to live comfortably. Real people have fixed needs they have to buy and usually a fixed value they can create to make money.

I don’t think a model that doesn’t share any similarities with the system can be used to prove that inequality is baked into the system. I don’t mean that it isn’t, but I couldn’t in good conscience claim so based on this alone. Please keep your standards for evidence high yall.

Also the article completely misses the reason why wealth accumulates in the model. It has nothing to do with compound ratios being confusing or the amount one can afford to wager. This is simply a normal distribution with flipped axes and a bottom cap of 0. Inequality arises even if you change the game so that richer people give more when they lose and receive less when they win.

The 4chan image blocking is excessive but the rest of the stuff just reads like the dev didn’t think anybody else would use their software so they implemented them ‘good enough’ for themselves.

That whole tread just reads like a counter-moral panic by the .ml instances.

I’ve clicked through the links and the most ‘evil’ thing they did seems to be using a non-mainstream open source licence? Evil is getting contracted by Israel. Prohibiting other companies from profiting off your work isn’t evil.

Edit: And they hosted an interview with Curtis Yarvin. That’s bad, but still doesn’t warrant calling them evil.
