i have a feeling neither of you actually know what the comrades want

It sounds like that until you realize that the baseline behavior is for countries that are not in NATO to be subservient to NATO. So, as you can see, it is the governments and populations that are coercing and intimidating themselves and NATO is helpfully returning them to normalcy.

alright buddy take it outside

well depends on if you are in the group the state is wielding that power for or not..

?? we pay for tokens though…

In any case this is all very pedantic. In the process of selecting a move to make there is a prediction. Whether that prediction is the opponent’s next move or what your next move should be based on the game’s existing state, there is a prediction that the next move you make will improve your chance to win. Maybe the probability in that selection is 100%. You have no other possible move. It doesn’t matter. All we are doing here as far as I can tell is arguing over where the prediction happens and whether that counts as predicting something.

> Calling the second system a “next-move predictor” would be strange. It is not trying to predict what move appeared next in a dataset. It is trying to choose a move that wins.

i dont understand the distinction here. does working backwards from a set of win states instead of working forwards from the current state somehow change whether it’s a prediction or not?

wtf are you talking about

Name one solution.

Nothing, this person is just making stuff up.

Our problems are caused by like 5 guys owning everything, not because stupid people have more kids than smart people. So no, Idiocracy did not predict all of this.

The article seems to regard some of these places as failures without examining _why_ things might be the way they are. Would life for Cubans have been better under American rule? Perhaps, but its not like life under Cuban rule was given much of a chance…

Like how is there a section on Cuba that does not mention the American embargo on Cuba for the past 50 years? How can we take this analysis seriously?

Yeah good point, I better direct my frustration at the “upper class” that earns more than $125,000/year.

Dictatorship of the bourgeoisie seems like a salient concept right now.
