Good thread, I've yet to watch it fully, so I'll get back to you.
I don't even play chess, but damn, this is compelling.
This really does beg the question though, what will be the next groundbreaking paradigm in computational science? Machine learning incredible, but what if there is something out there that is more robust? Machine learning has already severely fucked with our idea of what a computer is, but what if it is just the tip of the iceberg? Will we fundamentally change our understanding of what intelligence is? Will we find a computing paradigm that is so unthinkable, yet so powerful? Have we been limiting ourselves with base 2 computations?
idk, I'm kinda pissed im not immortal. I would really like to be able to play modded skyrim on future quantum computers.
Have you noticed similar in your country, puppies and kittens flying off the shelves? Hamsters and bunnies going out of stock?
OP is saving money for the inevitable mass-abandonment of all kinds of furry critters, when the global depression hits hard and "normal" life returns post-covid-19.
I will be the petgarch when others are cutting expenses in their household budgets.
Please rate plan.

Maybe 6 months until the deep recession hits petgarch households. But now that I think, there will be another flood of pets needing rehoming: When those lucky enough to keep their jobs return to the office and have no time no more for their animals at home.
What does Bernd think?
Also, the world is basically burning around me, despite it I have high ferret fever. Feels inappropriate but we all have our coping mechanisms, right?
Now it's official.
The evenings are getting dark, time put lanterns outside.
Halloween is coming and I'm doing the shopping from last year's leftover stock, you can still get them for half the price before October.
How will Bernd spend the fast approaching spooky season?

Not exactly "former".
The moment they saw Russia is moving towards real social democracy, they realized that they're about to end up unemployed or losing all their privileges in this new happy and just society. This is the moment they decided to turn Russia into a mafia state. The same process took place in Soviet republics. Of course, the entire thing masquaraded as victory of freedom whilst Russian publicistics never witnessed the level of freedom that existed in 1987-93.
You have to realize that in Russia, KGB IS the mafia. The most intriguing part is that they started raising their street gang sturmabteilung all the way back in the 70's, you can read some info on the Kazan phenomenon and, later on, the Lyubertsy gangs.
The only thing that makes me happy is that a shift towards socialism is inevitable after fall of putnism, the hybercapitalist system which essentially represents the goal of any libertarian with an entire country held in private control.
And sure the CIA contributed. Wect always needed the perfect enemy to keep milking their tax payers and a democratic socialist country wouldn't qualify as the spook story to keep the cattle in the line.
After some research you'll realize that Putin is the most convenient man Wect couldn't even dream of. The fact that putinist elites keep their families, finance and real estate in Europe and the US adds the final touches to the whole picture.

damn near everyones govt intlly fucked up imo
xtra special shoutouts to the CDC and WHO
its like these mongs have never played CK2 or something
>shut the gates
theres literally a button for it
shouldve been done in late january
keeps the initial outbreak more manageable, and doesnt stress healthcare/resources out too much
sure itd fuck up travel and tourism etc etc, but all that shit is doomed in the nearterm anyways
and now, to make it even more retarded and ensure the next global depression, they decide to shut down nearly everything for a whole year, well after it was already everywhere already
said it before, but "quarantine" as a concept doesnt even real
even in best case scenario, you cant expect people to stay inside for longer than like a week or two
most dont even do that and still go out every day for something or other
and all the current restrictions are so woefully lopsided and pointless its hard to say whether theyd do much of anything anyways
no matter what, youre always at the mercy of the weakest link, be that the underpaid mcdonalds/walmart employee not giving a fuck and not spraying shit down, or some alex jones tier boomer who doesnt afraid of anything and dont need no mask coofing all over the frozen foods aisle
unless an outbreak is at the point where people are dying due to total lack of resources/availability of care, it all kinda seems pointless to me
this shit is now endemic, and it mutates at an obscene rate
its not going anywhere any time soon
so is the plan to just keep the world closed for another year?
would that even help?
Why is this board so dead?

people should be able to say whatever the fuck they feel like imo
ive still never found any evidence that thought or speech can actually severely harm anyone by itself, especially not when it comes from an anonymous poster on a d_gdamn imageboard
but i have seen literally everyone losing their fucking minds these past few years due to not being able to say what they want
as far as i can tell, thats one of the prime factors behind why there are more and more reactionaries as of late
as for this place becoming nu-pol, i doubt it.
most boards that get like that are a factor of kcmods kcmodding away any sort of dissenting opinions, and we thankfully dont have that problem
idk about you, but personally, the only times id ever get b& from kohl was when i "went off-script"
its only reactionaries left AND right that have a need for an echochamber like that. and because of that, they mostly tend to gravitate towards boards where they have mods who reflect their own views, and will ban the bad men with the mean words so that they can continue being right and dont have to worry about thinking too much
Tinder date scheduled for saturday
I matched with a grille on tinder who I studied with 5 years ago. We were kinda friendly for a while but then not anymore. She avoided me and I thought she didn't like me. Now she tells me she thought I hated her because she slept with a friend of mine and I was jealous, but for some reason we both swiped, matched and found out we didn't actually hate each other.
This is super awesome in my opinion, because I always feel like I'm accumulating people that hate me in this city and now it turns out it might actually be a positive relationship of some kind. We will see what happens saturday. We are going for a nice scenic walk.

I'm supposed to be in India or back in my home country instead of fucking around here in NZ.
I am an acorn waiting to crack my shell and put out my roots. Part of the issue is finding the right soil to do so without rabbits or other animals eating me beforehand
Nz is cool that it has tall poppy syndrome everywhere you can imagine yet lets hippies be hippies in a satisfyingly mutual way i don't care if rednecks or bydlo be bydlo
Wow, I can't believe it's a whole new millenium in just 2 months. It's like living forever and travelling to Alpha Centauri on a spaceship are just around the corner haha. I can't wait to play that demo I left downloading on my mom's computer by the way. It's called "Rogue Spear" and it looks rad as hell. It's like a sequel to something called Rainbow Six... ever played that one? Hopefully the computer can run it haha. What have you been up to man?

no, so it's not really statistics, more or so it is assigning words that come after phrases of length k, where k is the "order". higher k means more word context. As k approaches infinity, the result of the model approaches the original data. So nothing too fancy.
Also, the last stats class I took was in 8th grade. The only shit I know about stats is in the context of compsci.

It still makes as much sense as the original post not going to lie.
How do I get good at math?

hmm.
it helps to have someone teach you who makes the learning experience fun.
For example, this one time, my highschool calculus teacher locked his door and had the students wait outside. When he let us in, all of the tables, chairs, and books were spread on the floor. In the middle of the room there was a blanket and a lump. He started freaking out and said "Oh no what happened?" He lifted the blanket from the lump and gasped as he unveiled a decrepit cabbage patch kid doll. He puts a thermometer into the doll and reads out a temperature.
And basically, the entire lesson surrounded the "murder" of this doll, and how we could solve differential equations to determine the time of "death".
I remembered a shit ton about Newton's law of cooling after that.
So idk, find an eccentric math nerd and befriend him. Or watch people like Flammable Maths to experience mathematical shitposts.
Does Bernd like RAC?

I've completely overhauled the Essential Far-Right Metal guide for 2020. It is now Essential Nationalist Metal since all the artists have, in some form or another, expressed Nationalist ideals even if they aren't Nazis or Fascist but still aligned on the right. I've now color-coded the names for each release to their respective genres so others consulting this chart will now have a handy guide to tailor their search for their respective tastes.
