That's quite interesting. This is way outside of my wheelhouse - has this kind of approach been tried in other security contexts before? What would you even call that, virtualization?

I don't really get Mass in general. On paper it seems like it should be quite a bit nicer than it is in reality. I live in the Hudson Valley and feel like it would be a downgrade in a few ways. And for being a deep blue state they are pretty far behind Cali/NY/Wash/Ill on things like food safety and health guidelines.

It's politicized by default when it stands in opposition to the most blatantly ideologically slanted social media site in existence this side of Gab and Truth Social.

Considering everyone NOT in a specific ideological umbrella has been fleeing X en masse, yeah it's obviously sensible that alternative ideologies would be more present by default.

Layman question here since this isn't my field: how do you achieve success on closed-system tasks without supervision? Surely at some point along the way, the system must understand whether their answers and reasoning are correct.

It's funny, the calculators were incredibly politicized when I was growing up (TI84 generation, so kids were getting caught programming functions to solve exam questions) but GPS was just taken as a given.

Same here. I never really consciously saw it as "defiance" against cognitive decline or anything. More to the point, the answers are much better on average

Kids are born into a world where the last generation is already essentially locked into lifetime servitude, the world is burning, and the "adults in the room" are a circus. How could they not indulge in alternatives? What is there to look forward to, identify with, or love about this place?

Culture thrives when the people are able to live meaningful lives.

Because people are writing Orwell fanfiction?

Oh, wasn't meant at any dig in terms of quality, I don't believe in that kind of characterization. Besides, ostensibly, Chinese developers have been much more successful in this space and seem to deliver better products. I just wouldn't know myself as I stay off of shortform video platforms.

The kids flocking to another Chinese app just to avoid using Reels, Shorts, or whatever abomination is on X continues to be so funny to me. Looks like a long game of whack a mole starting.

We're up +1.5C already and it's a polynomial growth. This current figure was also on the "upper end" of projections from 25 years ago.

I'm all for this, lol.
