Second and third wave feminism are as much an exogenous imposition on western societies.

First wave was organic, in no small part because the increased farming productivity removed a lot of workload from women and urbanisation and the obsolecence of their ancestral means of influence and power actually *reduced* massivly their contribution to social mechanisms and had to be compensated by new political and economic powers.

The simple fact that they are focusing on remigration first and foremost instead of the so much easier to sell and implement method of "putting murderers, rapists and their accomplices in prison" is significant.

Sure, on paper, remigration is fine, but it's used as a slogan and thought-terminating cliché, not as a detailed policy plan.

True, but inconsequential, occupying the whole of Ukraine would already require far too many people, the idea that Russia is looking for territory for territory's sake is fundamentally missing the point.

Even the Odessa region is overreach, I understand why it would have been a rational objective in 2012, but the feelings of the residents have changed enough since that it would be a forever counter-insurgency war.

Best korea is impressive in its own right tho, for a nation under massive sanctions for its entire lifetime and one that is still *at war* with the UN to boot.

At a point it was literally **alone** against everyone else, with both Russia and China mostly aligning with duh west for two decades.

The speed at which it broke off from starvation level poverty once it finally got its nuke, freeing massive industrial resources that were locked in their conventional nuke-class deterrance artillery and opening bilateral trade with China and Russia instead of, at best, unilateral foreign aid from China is extremely impressive.

While there are a lot of stuff that would deeply bother me if I lived there, even if it was'nt so alien, it's not as if there are'nt tons of stuff that deeply bother me in duhwest and I'd still rate it above South Korea now that famine is'nt a thing anymore.

@TheStalwart If a bunch of imbeciles had'nt been talking about mandatory remote complience firmware and kill switches for compute the need would be less obvious (would still have existed tho).

Now the cat is out of the bag, if you don't control your chip and firmware, it's not *your* chip.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

@teortaxesTex I'd assume they still try, NRO at the very least can.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

@MorganCatha @samlakig Oh yeah, even assuming they could be detected, accelerator neutrinos would be the *kof* 'best' option, without compact wake riding accelerators that is very far from easy, more credibly doable with near-future tech, but not easy by any means.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

To detect, yes, the very same properties that make them go through the planet as if it wasn't there make detection extremely hard.

Neutrinos (well antineutrinos) on the other hand are very easy to generate, any radioactive source beta decaying will spew them, and fission reactors are indirectly extremely hot sources due to the high volumes of very short half life beta decaying isotopes produced.

@ZoomerHistorian Rupert Lowe absolutely does tho, he will reluctantly signal against kosher slaughter when cornered about it but in every single other instance his position is undistinguishable from all the other kosher nationalists reheating counter-jihad crap from the early 00's.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

To be fair, lebensraum wasn't *only* about national reunion and the means to do it without huge population migration.

It was also part of the Nth iteration of the continental dream of connecting Europe to Asia through a safe land corridor, it wouldn't have accomplished this goal, but it would have made huge progress towards it.

A dream that has been central to European geopolitical thought since the Roman Empire, and a perennial nightmare for naval powers, once Spain and Portugal, then England and now the USA, a land bridge from the Atlantic coast to central and east Asia would make global naval power practically obsolete.

The interesting thing is not that it's a new chip, it's that with so much marketing around it, it's pretty obvious that it won't be sold at the same price point.

Suddenly having millions of people with the hardware to run local models in the 6-12B parameter range without needing a 300W GPU creates a ton of use cases.

@WestminsterWAG Pyongyang is more my climate, but Teheran with zero hesitation, even when it's getting bombed.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

@perrymetzger @mark_k @AnthropicAI @OpenAI Of course, which is why Dario is so hell bent on making model creation and hosting a small cartel enforced by military force.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

I have a very simple penal rule for violent acts.

If it's the first time, the circonstances leading to the act are not likely to repeat and no sadism was involved, harsh but *suspended* sentence.

Repeat offense (that is'nt due to some weird statistical fluke of a chain of incredibly unlikely events) -> removal from society, permanant if at least one of the two acts is bad enough.

Habitual criminality is a much greater burden on society than once in a lifetime crimes of passion.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

And let's not forget that western government and elites are incredibly unpopular, so what they see China is'nt necesseraly representative of how the people would if they spent 5 minutes actually caring and thinking about it (which most don't, because rationally it would'nt improve their life to be informed, quite the contrary in fact).

@jackywacky_3 Space station modules.

The bigger they are the more efficient they are per kg of throw weight, and they are pretty light.

[Spaceweasel @Spacew3asel]

TBH, there's a lot of people thinking about it, due to the "bomb them to the stone age" anglo-israeli doctrine of war, thing is that it is projection, nobody else does that shit.

But defensively, everybody does think about it, having redundant datacenters with >150km distance between them *is* a thing in some highly regulated industries, and I don't believe it to be only about meteors...
