I wouldn’t trust Zuck-Zuck to clean up after my dog, let alone anything more complex than that.

I don’t think this is a Google thing.

We have working cross-carrrier RCS in Ukraine. No one uses it though.

I found the article to be rather confusing.

One thing to point out is that the video codec used in this research (but for which results weren’t published for some reason), H264, is not at all state of the art.

H265 is far newer and they are already working on H266. There are also other much higher quality codecs such as AV1. For what it’s worth, they do reference H265, but I don’t have access to the source research paper, so it’s difficult to say what they are comparing against.

The performance relative to FLAC is interesting though.

Recalling looking forward to this one.

Just some super basic index stuff. Day trading style strategies is not my type of thing.

Ah I see. I thought you had equity and wanted to cash out during the IPO.

Flat design is getting boring. It’s been more than a decade of the same styling.

I don’t get all these discussions about “charitable purpose” and so on. It’s pretty clear that this is oligarch run institutions and the individuals involved are likely incapable of understanding the concept of “charitable purpose”.

Are you an insider? Or why exactly are you waiting for their IPO?

I don’t live in the US. The price in local currency was close enough to $50.

I don’t even know who to trust here. Apple has motivation to highlight how Apple Intelligence is massive success (irrespective of whether it is true or not) and Google has an incentive to play up the strength of their service.

I am surprised they went as far as mass shutdown of mobile internet in so many large metropolitan areas.

Seems like they are being paranoid. I don’t get the impression we have the capabilities for a big strike that would have immense symbolic impact (e.g. on the military units taking part in the parade in Moscow).

Was this posted in self-hosted because the term is vaguely associated with the concept of getting pregnant?

Cool graphic! Cheers!

Sounds like it’s going to be UE6: Fortnite.

Hopefully Godot can make more improvements by the time of UE6’s release.

Looks very much like change for the sake of change, or be more specific, change for the sake of promotion.

Then don’t talk out of your ass about things you have no fucking clue about.

Ukraine does not have anything close to the same level of racism as russia. And supremacist attitudes exist outside the bounds of race, just because you know nothing about it it this and are too lazy to educate yourself, it doesn’t mean this is not a major issue (it is literally the root cause of the russian invasion).

I don’t see any ethical issues with donating to LW. Tankie rubbish is both downvoted heavily and/or modded if things start getting out of hand.

There is broad agreement among observers that at its formation in Spring 2014, the Azov Battalion was associated with Neo-Nazi and far-right ideas, including through the use of symbolism and the political associations and statements of its leaders and cadre.[71][281] However, there is disagreement about the subsequent course of its evolution. Several researchers have stated in the years since that the Battalion’s successors have depoliticized or deradicalized, identifying key landmarks in that process as its November 2014 incorporation into the national guard, a 2017 expulsion of some far right radicals, and Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022

Don’t lie! You clearly have no fucking clue what you are talking about and your reference to “white supremacy” in Ukraine is more of an attempt to establish a weird aesthetic. I dislike the term, but virtue signalling is an apt description of what you are doing.

The fact that you think racism in russia Wagner (or even just Azov in Ukraine) shows that you can’t even conceptually evaluate a concept such the prevalence of racism.

I was in Kyiv during russian siege in Feb 22. Every 100 m there was a military checkpoint on the road by my place. So you are saying I was discriminated against when I passed those checkpoints and I am lying because I am a “Ukrainian uncle tom”?

We then left to the west of the country. We had the security services come to our rental apartment (standard procedure to check for saboteurs). So you claim that I am lying when I say my white relatives were far more freaked out by the interview than I was, because well Ukraine is extremely racist and they had to harass me in such a situation?

And the fact that you think racism in russia is limited to Wagner means that you’re saying I never regularly encountered racism from both security services and regular russians (you probably don’t consider racism against Ukrainians to be racism, but that’s what I encountered in addition to being discriminater against and harassed because I am not white).

Honestly, there is an abstract beauty that you are so confident in your ignorance that you had the gall to show me (a non-white Ukrainian who has lived in both russia and Ukraine for many years) Wikipedia articles for Azov and Wagner as your source.

Afaik Ukraine has as much of a white supremacist problem as Russia

Source? Keep in mind I am a non-white Ukrainian who has lived in both Russia and Ukraine and I speak the languages.
