don't agree with a lot of the post but definitely worth reading and this part gave me some hope that we end up in an ok place don't think you need to agree with someone on everything or even work with them at all as long as the end goal is the same and you get there one way or another

The problem is not, ultimately, the technology. Working less, with the collected art and science and knowledge of humanity at your fingertips: that is the promise of the future I have always dreamed of. How are we to reach fully automated luxury gay space communism without automation?

The problem is the social structure that surrounds it. The technology may be inevitable, but its consequences are not.

We must deny the concentration of benefits, and mitigate the diffusion of harms, in three important ways.

1. Regulation must be passed to stop the pointless avoidable harms and ease the transition.

2. We must decentralize control over this technology.

3. We must redistribute the dividend of prosperity, lifting all of us up.

Piers and Glenn are also enjoying this effect rn

kragdar.bsky.social: I don't really know any Tucker fans per se, just people who are conflicted about it but are willing to credit him for what he does say. And while I believe he's an antisemite, a lot of what he does and says is "normal" - visiting injured kids from Gaza evacuated to Qatar for example.

sometimes you are hated sometimes you can shoot the wrong person and still become a national icon gaining popularity to the point where even the non violent wing has to acknowledge their sacrifice and there are memorials to you to this day

Bhagat Singh was convicted of the murder of John Saunders and Channan Singh, and hanged in March 1931, aged 23. He became a popular folk hero after his death. Jawaharlal Nehru wrote about him: "Bhagat Singh did not become popular because of his act of terrorism but because he seemed to vindicate, for the moment, the honour of Lala Lajpat Rai, and through him of the nation. He became a symbol; the act was forgotten, the symbol remained, and within a few months each town and village of the Punjab, and to a lesser extent in the rest of northern India, resounded with his name." In still later years, Singh, an atheist and socialist in adulthood, won admirers in India from among a political spectrum that included both communists and right-wing Hindu nationalists. Although many of Singh's associates, as well as many Indian anti- colonial revolutionaries, were also involved in daring acts and were either executed or died violent deaths, few came to be lionised in popular art and literature as did Singh, who is sometimes referred to as the Shaheed- e-Azam ("Great martyr" in Urdu and Punjabi).

Subhas Chandra Bose said that: "Bhagat Singh had become the symbol of the new awakening among the youths." Nehru acknowledged that Bhagat Singh's popularity was leading to a new national awakening, saying: "He was a clean fighter who faced his enemy in the open field ... he was like a spark that became a flame in a short time and spread from one end of the country to the other dispelling the prevailing darkness everywhere". Four years after Singh's hanging, the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Horace Williamson, wrote: "His photograph was on sale in every city and township and for a time rivaled in popularity even that of Mr. Gandhi himself"

Gandhi admitted that he could no further since India's freedom was more important than the execution of a few young men who would cheerfully court death for their country. Nevertheless Gandhi paid tribute to their courage and self-sacrifice, while drafting a resolution on their sacrifices for the Karachi session. It ran thus: "This Congress, while disassociating itself from and disapproving of political violence in any form, places on record its admiration for the bravery and sacrifice of the late Sardar Bhagat Singh and his comrades Sukhdev and Rajguru and mourns with the bereaved families the loss of their lives. The Congress is of the opinion that government have lost the golden opportunity of promoting the goodwill between the two nations, admittedly held to be essential at this juncture and of winning over to the method of peace, the party which, being driven to despair resorts to political violence

People gotta stop using Gandhi like some magical figure that they invoke to make a point about nonviolence when he also clearly understood there is a time and place for armed resistance too

"I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done, had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908, whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defended me, I told him that it was his duty to defend me even by using violence."

"I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment, forgiveness adorns a soldier. But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish, it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature. A mouse hardly forgives cat when it allows itself to be torn to pieces by her."

NIST and its partners at the University of Colorado Boulder built the first random number generator that uses quantum entanglement to produce verifiable random numbers.

Broadcast as a free public service, the Colorado University Randomness Beacon (CURBy) can be used anywhere an independent, public source of random numbers would be useful, such as selecting jury candidates or assigning resources through a public lottery.

"Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics," the mathematician G. H. Hardy wrote, in 1940. But matrix multiplication, to which our civilization is now devoting so many of its marginal resources, has all the elegance of a man hammering a nail into a board. It is possessed of neither beauty nor symmetry: in fact, in matrix multiplication, a times b is not the same as b times a.
