Tigers with horns 😨😨 ?

Isn’t this “gotcha” argument rendered unsound by something akin to “Existence is not a predicate”. Looking for someone who knows more about formal logic: Can a predicate reference itself in that way?

I will check this out, thanks

It is ??!

Thanks! I don’t use it but I want it so much on freetube and newpipe 🥲

You could add that extension that replaces clickbait titles by community-made descriptive ones. (lemmy do your thing and find the name please)

In the political context of where I live, this reminds me of those in the socialist party that are against a Universal Basic Income.

Can someone explain how portability is still an issue? Are there no cross-platform API and libraries that allow developpers to write portable apps?

I am failing to recognise if this is satire or not. Maybe my geography is too bad, but what waterway are you talking about? Israel is not strategically significant four the Suez canal, is it?

If all major APIs use SPIR-V, does it mean that it could become the ISA of some GPUs? Like that time someone made some hardware that executed Java bytecode directly?

I can’t unsee it now :(

SEO breaks the web, writer was a hero :)

1, a, 3 ?

(I just find it weird people write their 2s as ‘a’…)

I don’t want to diminish the talent of the historian in vain but past performance is not always an indicator of being good at predictions, he might just have been lucky in a completely random guess 9 times out of 10. Given the amount of historians making such predictions it is not unlikely that such an historian exists and it would be fairly easy to mistake their success for talent.

I don’t know where I found this but I found a scheme somewhere to scam some investors: Find a large list of potential victims. Tell one part of it that you predict that market will do A, and the other part that the market will do B. Repeat the process several times, selecting only the investors to whom you’ve always told the correct prediction. Eventually you will have a handfull of people who have “solid proof” that you are a visionnary and you can scam them.

Again, I absolutely do not mean to say that this particular historian is bad. This story just reminded me of these ideas and I wanted to share.

Not that you will care: Switzerland passed a similar constitutional amendment in 2021, with no exception for religious purposes. It was proposed by a right wing party with barely hidden anti-muslim sentiment. It’s one of the many recent moves that, in my view, makes my country more vulnerable to authoritarian drifts as it makes it harder to conceal one’s identity in protests. There is a difference it seems to the law discussed in this article in that in switzerland the fine is not automatic. it only occurs when someone refuses to uncover their face when asked to.

Why is the fact check bot being downvoted? Is it reputed to be itself biased and wrong?
