I mean, I get the point, but it’s not like rewriting the 1917-1945 history is uncommon in Europe.

The anti Soviet museum in Lithuania doesn’t talk about the Holocaust of Jewish people at all, for example.

There was a well organized campaign to promote revisionist history on the Croatian Wikipedia.

And Poland codified denialism into law.

The Jewish population of the region that used to be the Western Russian Empire remembers the violence as starting in 1917, not in 1939 when the Germans showed up. This had been a recurring thing, but nobody seems to remember that.

You can install Plex on your mobile device and toggle the “share media from this device” setting. Otherwise, a steam deck would have everything an RPI has plus a GPU and a touch screen. Since there are two radios (2 and 5Ghz) on the device, you should be able to set it up as a bridge device, but I’ve not tried this personally.

I’m definitely not confused. Perhaps we have irreconcilable philosophical differences, but I’m certainly not confused by percentages.

Personally, I would a 30% voter turnout as a damning indictment of the system, particularly when Switzerland was one of the last countries in Europe to legalize women’s right to vote and the right to gay marriage.

For most of the US’s history, most people were simply not allowed to participate in that system and twice this century the winner lost the popular vote. How is it do hard to believe that someone would feel legitimately disenfranchised and frustrated by that system?

“both sides bad” has won almost every US election, according to this chart.

It’s literally the most popular position when you consider voter turnout and % of votes for each main party.

Wild that you’re getting down voted for wanting to comply with international humanitarian law.

Sorry about the downvotes. I’ve found Lemmy to be weirdly territorial like reddit, despite having only a few 10k users. There’s not enough content to push everything into hyper specific silos. I feel you. Also, thanks. I had some weird permissions issue on my Ubuntu gaming rig with Firefox snap and installing the .deb resolved my issue. Ignore the haters-- I found this post useful.

Yeah, the panel that stuck with me most was that the US had been escalating sanctions against Japan for their 3 decade long occupation of Manchuria and invasion of Indochina. Admittedly, there were certainly valid complaints against Western imperialism and racism, but the panel said

The United States with its biggest potential influence was hamstrung by isolationism. From 1935 to 1937, Congress passed three “Neutrality Acts”. President Roosevelt, deeply concerned with developments in Europe and Asia, gave the “quarantine speech” on October 5, 1937, in which he urged that it was necessary to deal with international “lawlessness,” implicitly criticizing Japan. The public opinion and Congress gradually supported strengthening sanctions against Japan, such as the abrogation of the U.S.-Japan Trade and Navigation Treaty and finally the oil-embargo, which triggered the war.

which is a bizarre way to justify Pearl Harbor.

That’s gross, and I didn’t know that. That’s certainly not something I saw at the Holocaust memorial or in Dachau. It’s widely reported, however, that German schooling teaches the Holocaust thouroughly while Japan ignores the Asian Holocaust entirely. I can’t speak for the German tank museum in particular, but every museum I’ve been to in Germany made it clear that the 1928-1945 period of German History was unequivocally evil.

The article I linked in the OP mentions how this has caused persistent political divisions between Japan and it’s formerly occupied neighbors.

I thought more about this and realized the Us presents the Enola Gay without context and that’s gross too.. Though the US does have museums on the genocide of Native Americans, Japanese internment camps during world war 2, a national slavery museum and memorial, and there’s been a lot of public controversy around racist statues, so that also feels categorically different than enshrining war criminals as saints in your imperial shrine.

\mathbf{} cause I can just use Ctrl+B on overleaf.

read the other replies and maybe click the link

No, no. This museum failed to mention the millions of people killed by the Japanese Imperial army at all and blamed the war entirely on Western involvement in Japan. It even claims that Japanese troops were welcomed in Nanking. Famously, the rest of the world calls it something very different.

Seriously, just read the linked article. This isn’t a memorial to the victims of war. It glorifies atrocities and rewrites history.

Germany doesn’t have Panzers presented as a cool memorial. This image is taken at the shrine, which also has a museum. Half of the museum is a shrine to people who fought for Japan in World War 2 and many of those people are recognized war criminals.

To me, at least, starting off the museum with a refurbished plane that was used to commit war crimes was, in itself, shocking. Also the gift shop was, uhhhhh…

Like, can you imagine the same in Germany? Little Nazi flags for the kids?

I’d show you pictures of the sketchy exhibits but you’re not allowed to take photos in them.

Oh. My bad. Every post I have submitted here violates that then. I apologize.

Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1]

yeah. find the es_input.cfg file

Forum link

On Linux, that’s usually the case. Finding the config file is the problem. I suspect that’s why emulation Station isn’t working. I don’t know where that’s installed, but I’d assume there’s another configuration file for ES. It’s probably in the home directory, ~. maybe ~/.emulation_station or or ~/.ES. I don’t recall, but there will be a file structure similar to the RetroArch tree.

In either case, it would be very kind to post the full solution for the next person.

I’ve never had issues with the 8bitdo Controllers on rpi, Bluetooth or wired, but I found a thread where others solved the same problem. Looks like that particular controller isn’t perfectly supported and you need to update xpad and a configuration file.

I intended B, but A is also true, no?

Yeah. I’m thinking more along the lines of research and open models than anything to do with OpenAI. Fair use, above all else, generally requires that the derivative work not threaten the economic viability of the original and that’s categorically untrue of ChatGPT/Copilot which are marketed and sold as products meant to replace human workers.

The clean room development analogy is definitely an analogy I can get behind, but raises further questions since LLMs are multi stage. Technically, only the tokenization stage will “see” the source code, which is a bit like a “clean room” from the perspective of subsequent stages. When does something stop being just a list of technical requirements and veer into infringement? I’m not sure that line is so clear.

I don’t think the generative copyright thing is so straightforward since the model requires a human agent to generate the input even if the output is deterministic. I know, for example, Microsoft’s Image Generator says that the images fall under creative Commons, which is distinct from public domain given that some rights are withheld. Maybe that won’t hold up in court forever, but Microsoft’s lawyers seem to think it’s a bit more nuanced than “this output can’t be copyrighted”. If it’s not subject to copyright, then what product are they selling? Maybe the court agrees that LLMs and monkeys are the same, but I’m skeptical that that will happen considering how much money these tech companies have poured into it and how much the United States seems to bend over backwards to accommodate tech monopolies and their human rights violations.

Again, I think it’s clear that commerical entities using their market position to eliminate the need for artists and writers is clearly against the spirit of copyright and intellectual property, but I also think there are genuinely interesting questions when it comes to models that are themselves open source or non-commercial.
