only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands

meanwhile in multiple slavic languages pretty much the same word (датчане, данцi, datčáne, …) refers to Danes.

Thou shalt roll back first, even if thou knowest not the root cause

and make everything so worse your angels won’t dare ack the alert. Forget not about stateful systems!

Everyone was pissed

as someone who had worked in transparent jurisdictions: everyone should absolutely be pissed about not having this info available publicly always in real time.

Several Dutch people told me that firearms are common on ships under the Dutch flag. Given the number of people owning sea-worthy vessels this might be interesting. Do you know anything about this?

MIT Technology Review got an exclusive preview of the research

The article was published 3 days after the arxiv release. How is this an "exclusive preview"?

Successfully tricking existing models by a few crafted samples doesn't seem like a significant achievement. Can someone highlight what exactly is interesting here? Anything that can't be resolved by routine adjustments to loss/evaluation functions?

I have played in online and offline CS and Overwatch tournaments. My team won prizes. We had a wonderful anti-cheat measure: reputation and respect.

This software will not solve the problem - and is probably not even meant to. The company is likely harvesting data to abuse users or sell it.

No extent of privacy invasion will solve cheating. I have made - as a fun university project - demo cheats that do not even need to run on the same computer as the game. They give significant competitive advantage, and detection systems give too many false-positives to even begin to counter these.

Maybe !venting@lemmy.ml or !vent@lemmy.world ? If it is relevant to your location then you could search for options on a local instance like feddit.uk.

people will still be like ‘wtf’ haha

People here (North Holland) are used to tourists and immigrants. A local could use "Hi", "Hallo", "Bonjour" or "Shalom" instead of Dutch-specific "Goeiemorgen"/other. If I say "Moin" or "Ciao" or "Hola", people will understand and sometimes reply appropriately, but likely continue in English not Dutch. It's something anyone would do for fun.

"hyvää huomenta" and "terve" on the other hand are not widely known to be a greeting. "tesekkuler" will not work as "merci". I don't do that.

Highly depends on where the shop is based.

True. I have mostly lived in touristy and immigrant-friendly places, and I'm OK with people not seeing me as a local.

Is French just the most commonly spoken common language, even in Germany and Czechia?

No. This title is likely taken by Turkish.

Or is it something else?

Many phrases from European languages are common knowledge across Europe. I'm about to go grab some coffee. When I walk in to the coffee shop, I'm free to say "Hello" in one of 10+ languages and no one will think anything of it. Why would I do that? Maybe because I'm in the mood. Ciao!

There’s some wisdom in the old soviet anecdote

There’s freedom of speech in the USSR: In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, and yell, “Down with Ronald Reagan,” and you will not be punished. Equally, you can also stand in Red Square in Moscow and yell, “Down with Ronald Reagan,” and you will not be punished.

The Internet is still mostly connected, the law enforcement is not as much. Many businesses exist only because of this. You are free to host (produce, store, distribute) your content where it is legal and access it from where it is not. Access to foreign resources may eventually be outlawed or the access itself restricted. This is already the case in EU, Russia, China, etc. - but for now Internet is mostly connected.

the whole Internet

It will not affect the whole Internet. American-centered English-speaking “Internet” yes, but there’s lots and lots of infrastructure and content elsewhere. Many Chinese-, Japanese-, Russian-, and German-centric resources exist almost independently from the rest of the world. Some of them are free to completely ignore the “bad internet bills”, copyright, IP, GDPR, and any other regulation you can think of.
