“There is little evidence to justify the widespread assumption that willing participation in pedophilia hurts children.”

But per the quote in the meme above, you can’t have willing participation, it is always coerced.

And you still don’t provide sources.

I agree, the phrasing is bad, but that doesn’t change that if you read it carefully, the meaning is clear.
There is absolutely no reasonable basis for claiming he is defending pedophiles, when what he does is the direct opposite, by logically proving that a common defense they use is invalid, because you can never claim to know participation is voluntary. It is per definition coerced.

Why? When he can win with arguments like “She’s so nasty” and “Just words, those are just words”
Debating Hillary, Trump was most of the time completely unable to construct a reasonable come back. He will just throw everybody off with something completely idiotic.

It is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.

I’m not even sure what a winning strategy against that looks like, when about half the voters think that’s just fine.

Land of the free and freedom of speech are such hollow terms when Americans say them.
Fascism has a very strong foothold in half of USA.

Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in.

Absolutely, and the fact that people didn’t adopt it creates confusion, some people claim Android is also Linux, which you can argue, but it’s definitely NOT GNU/Linux, and it’s definitely NOT a free desktop OS as defined by freedesktop.org either. There’s a huge difference.
Especially since Android generally means Android with Google apps, and not AOSP. AOSP is open source, but Android with Google apps is not.

And what’s your point with posting this? My guess is that you don’t even understand it.
He is saying there is no such thing as willing participation from a child in pedophilia. Are you saying there is?

I can’t remember having seen them debating each other, either in person or otherwise. But their positions are well known. Linus chose the GPL license from an engineering/pragmatic viewpoint, while Stallman is an idealist.

Apparently they are quite friendly:

You are a moron, VC does not stand for one thing, and you haven’t either denied nor confirmed what you meant. This makes you an actual troll in this context.

I have hereby blocked you.

Bragging how you didn’t read something is also ill-favoured here.

WTF? Your shitty link to some private blog doesn’t work, but apparently you can’t make a proper response to the above.
I just mention I couldn’t read it for completeness on my side.
VC is not a tech term, you are being lazy and apparently don’t care about ambiguities in what you write.

And unless it means something different here than I guessed, your point was irrelevant. Venture capitalists are irrelevant to the boom of AI.

You also don’t explain how actual demand can be a bubble.

The link you provide above stalls, so IDK what that is about.
I don’t agree that AI is just a marketing term, although it probably is used in that way by many, it is not when it comes to Nvidia, who has the by far most popular hardware to drive AI software. And Nvidia is already making a lot of money on selling hardware for AI, and even lower tier suppliers claim the demand is crazy for AI hardware.

VCs will get sick of setting money

Do you mean venture capitalists? It’s very annoying to have to guess the meaning of a 2 letter acronym. For Christ sake how many meaning do you think VC has?
What special contact do industry peons have with venture capitalists? That doesn’t make any sense. Also I don’t believe this is driven by venture capitalists at all.

All the biggest companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc are making huge investments in their own implementations, implementations that cannot even be finished this year because of supply shortages. This is not about upstarts, but all the biggest existing companies investing huge amounts of money. Upstarts funded by Venture capitalists are not even a blip on the radar.

So saying 3 quarters is absolute bullocks, that doesn’t even cover NVIDIA’s back orders!

this is a bubble fueled entirely by investors,

Nope, there is actual crazy demand. But how crazy in the longer run remains to be seen.

I agree this increase is insane and without parallel AFAIK. It seems to be too good to be true, and normally that means it actually is too good to be true.
It’s also hard to believe that Nvidia will be allowed to stay ahead in a market with such profit potential.
But for 8 years they’ve not only kept their market advantage and profit margins. They’ve actually managed to increase both.
I thought Nvidia was crazy when they made chips that yielded only one per wafer, I thought AMD would beat them with more agile chips at a fraction the price.

So the question is when you call this a bubble, do you mean demand for compute will stop increasing as much as it is? Do you think AI will flop?

In some ways I think AI already flopped somewhat from the initial hype of ChatGPT. But I do not think that will stop the race among companies to implement AI to keep up or stay ahead og the competition. It seems like AI is like a weapons race, and I bet it will go on for at least 5 years. Then if it turns out not to be the advantage companies hoped for, it will obviously slow down.

But I think Nvidia has a few years of good running ahead of them yet.

Yeah people have been saying something along those lines since 2016. I admit I had no idea it could get to where it is now, but people called it insane when Nvidia passed a $100 around that time (before the splits), and they called it doubly so when it passed $300 (still before the splits). Now they are at $125 but with a split of 1:10 this year, and in 2021 they had a split 1:4, meaning one stock prior to 2021 would be 40 stocks today. So that’s equivalent to a stock worth $100 around 2016 is now 40 stocks worth $5000 total! That’s 50x the value in 8 years.

Nvidia has been boosted over several times first by crypto, then by (traditional) datacenters, and now by AI:

I’ve been thinking this was a bit too much for about 5 years now, but the world constantly hungers for more computing power, and apparently Nvidia is the best company to deliver that.

My bet was on AMD, because I thought they’d catch up to Nvidia (apart from taking market share from Intel). While AMD was still a good bet, Nvidia would have been way better.

For 8 years betting against Nvidia has been the wrong bet. Maybe it’s finally at the end of the fairy tale, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

It’s one thing that Trump believes that telling an elephant and Giraffe apart makes him a genius, the truly horrible thing is that a lot of Americans agree, and are prepared to elect him president of USA.

Apart from the painting, it’s interesting that Tesla needs to rent space to store Cybertrucks! Maybe it’s not selling so hot?

But Trump says that just sitting in court is already cruel and unusual punishment, so idk?

I think you were downboted for “hard slap”, when obviously it should just at most be a soft slap.

IDK if federations doesn’t work, I already wrote to another response that I use Bash.
Since the Amiga in the 80’s I considered CLI windows and Shell as the same thing,because they kind of were on the Amiga, as there was only 1 shell, and a CLI window was also called Shell. But that was obviously a misunderstanding I just never got quite rid of.

Ah OK, Bash because it’s default.

xterm, because shortcut keys do what they are supposed to.

Edit:

Bash because it’s default.
