I guess it would be nice if you supplanted that by economic policy, wouldn't it.

Reading this quote from wiki:
After the XX Congress, in an ultra-narrow circle of our closest friends and associates, we often discussed the problems of democratization of the country and society. We chose a simple – like a sledgehammer – method of propagating the "ideas" of late Lenin. A group of true, not imaginary reformers developed (of course, orally) the following plan: to strike with the authority of Lenin at Stalin, at Stalinism. And then, if successful, – to strike with Plekhanov and Social Democracy – at Lenin, and then – with liberalism and "moral socialism" – at revolutionarism in general .... The Soviet totalitarian regime could be destroyed only through glasnost and totalitarian party discipline, while hiding behind the interests of improving socialism. [...] Looking back, I can proudly say that a clever, but very simple tactic – the mechanisms of totalitarianism against the system of totalitarianism – has worked.
Especially this part - "and then – with liberalism and 'moral socialism' – at revolutionarism in general" - it makes it sound like at least this guy (Yakovlev) wanted to move away from economic socialism altogether. Am I reading this right? Is it taken out of some context in which it has a different meaning? I'm asking in case you've read more about the topic. If you haven't, that's alright.
I read the wiki page on Perestroika. Am I understanding correctly that the people who pushed it, at least some, wanted to move the union to social democracy?
Goddamn oof.

How would they spread anti-Israel hatred by recording security procedures, if the security procedures are above board? I really don't understand Israel's officials anymore. Surely they are aware how shit like this looks outside of Israel. Are they just high on their own hasbara supply?
USB 3 should be plenty fast. Even 4-disks per port do 600MB/s. Get some USB-SATA adapters, or a multibay box, or some enclosures, and a USB hub. I was running 2 4-bay boxes on 2 USB 3 5Gb ports with 8-disk RAIDz2. Peaks at 1.3GB/s.
AI can absolutely increase productivity in manufacturing. Not the generative AI bullshit, but computer vision for any processes that require visual inspection, AI models for some optimization problems like optimally packing hardware IPs on a silicon die, and so on. Specific tasks that can be solved by purpose-built models.
If AI software, hardware and developers are abundant enough, you'd see a lot of integration done by factories all over the place. It seems like China is trying to create this abundance.
Yeah it seems like China's action produced a larger selloff. Perhaps people weren't as certain of the size of their response.
I suspect that the US'es China-bad propaganda is going to be cracking fast over the next little while as a result of the economic realignment forced by the clown car team. Especially outside of the US.
Or... perhaps... talk to people and try to understand why they think the way they do. Who knows, maybe you'd hear something that makes sense. Just an idea! :D
Damn that's not nearly as much as I thought it will be. How're those spontaneous combustion numbers?
