Why?

Honestly because they are fucking nazis in disguise, and it’s clear just by scratching the surface. The dog whistles alone were enough.

I don't know what to trust anymore. One group calls the other Nazis for literally anything. And the other calls the other corrupt.

Moot point akin to trump’s “good people on both sides” comment after Charlotte. One side is deliberately taking inspiration from nazi slogans and such…

I have grown tired of anyone calling mildly conservative views as far right or authoritarian. Look at the condition Europe is in.

And do you also include the forced deportation of people with non-German ethnic backgrounds, even if they are citizens of Germany, in these "mildly conservative views"?

Hasn't mass immigration ruined Europe? Genuinely curious.

Ruined? You mean the continent with the highest life expectancy, highest rate of higer education, lowest infant mortality, and lowest rate of child poverty (and relative poverty in general).

The world is angry, we live in the age of the predators. European youth are also disappointed, just as in north America, that higer education is no longer a highway to a better life than our parents. But ruined? No.



I have grown tired of people not accepting that a party can truly be far right and try to put it off as being a shift in perception of the general public.

Today anything that is not left is labeled as far right in the media.

I think journalists have to realize that crying wolf always stops working when you need it the most.


Germany has five to six parties (depending on election cycle) in the parliament. Noone calls the SPD far right. You may find people debating whether the SPD or the CDU marks the center, but the AfD is clearly far right.

It's funny how people avoid this term. The far left party in the German parliament ("Die Linke") would never deny they're far left. (Their name literally translates to "The Left".)


I am not informed enough about AfDs platform to judge.

My comment was more about how the US media/english-speaking media describes non-left parties. All the populists on the left side of the spectrum are “left wing”, but their political counterparts are always “far” right.


And in the opposite media anything not right is "far left socialist extremists".

This doesn’t help either. That being said, I don’t get this finger-pointing at all — how does it help?

Why does my finger pointing not help, but yours does? That is my point.

You’ve read half of my comment and ignored the second half. My comment is not claiming that only the left-wing media is doing bad things, it’s about the role that media has and modern media failing it.

But sure, let’s continue this whole “he did it, so I’m doing it too”


I didn't only read half of your comment. I just think it is silly to vent about US politics in a conversation about Germany politics.

> My comment was more about how the US media/english-speaking media

So, irrelevant to the topic under discussion?


Are you saying the AfD represents "mildly conservative views"?

Well, they aren't running any camps yet, so how can you prove they will actually run camps in the future? You can't, so internet argument rules require you must accept that the opposite is factual.

As the misinformation botnet commands!

What condition the Europe is in and in comparison to what?

They mean immigrants.

"Look at the conditions X is in" is a common dog whistle for anti-immigrants and racists. It's a flare sent up to say, "Hey, who else thinks all these X are ruining our country?"


The AfD became relevant precisely because the conservatives (CDU) were not far right enough. They exist to be more right wing than the conservatives. They are as blatently far right as it gets.

I dont know why almost everyone is Labelled far right who have mildly conservative views.

If you have mildly conservative views in Germany, you vote CDU or FDP. You don't vote AfD.

Left and communist views have failed. Hence such parties rise. If the centrist parties can take bold decisions, such parties won't be needed.

Centrist and far-right views have failed. Spectacularly so in Germany. Maybe spectacularly is not the right word for WW2 and the Holocaust?

Things that far right people say who consider themselfes mildly conservative for 100.

It is not "mildly conservative" to call for deportation of citizens with middle-eastern roots, removing disabled children from normal schools and glorifying Hitler while taking money from Russia

> a Christmas card sent with a swastika and “Heil Hitler”, and an email thread signed off with “Heil und Sieg”

Ahh, old good mild conservatism.

That is an interesting moral compass you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it.

Don't worry, they can just throw it away when it becomes inconvenient.

Shooting the messenger is fun and all but maybe you should place your killing instincts on something more worthy of its target…Jesus Christ

I could have gone in the other direction with

  And what is good, Phaedrus,
  And what is not good—
  Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

Surely you must realize how absurd your line of thinking is. Far left and far right are not labels based on popularity! Communism is still far left ideology if you live in communist country, same with fascism being far right.

I'll be happy if it ends up costing less than a billion dollars

Would that be terrible for the investors?

Coz the company is 1 trillion plus valuation. So your argument falls flat. I understand if customers are pissed, but not investors.

Crows are most definitely intelligent than most of my colleagues.

I don't know the practicality of this car, or if the production version will have these thrusters, but the demo was epic. It tickled my childhood dream of working with mechanical stuff.

Are we too sensitive? It's their own product

No. Ad-hate is justified regardless of the product being sold or the platform presenting the ads.

Ads ruin everything.


Upselling your own paid customers is cheap. You already took their money, make them feel valued not like you just want to squeeze them for more.

If you also agree that people were too sensitive dragging Microsoft then yah, we are getting too sensitive

I don’t like OneDrive ads from the same reason. They are still ads in a product that should be ads free.

Ads are annoying whether it's for third party products or not.

Jev really shook up the industry. This seems obvious in hindsight


All this is for extraordinarily simple decisions. Real world problems often are a lot more complex requiring highly structured outputs covering many output attributes and substructures, for which a conventional structured output via a documented schema is better. If instead you make twenty independent calls to a decisions API, you lose coherence among your twenty decisions. I think any hype surrounding decisions will be forgotten soon enough.


There's plenty of business applications for a deterministic scoring/decision systems such as:

* Pass/Fail evaluation of a assortment of work product againt a given standard. * Document classification without OMRs. Luna can take image inputs.


I don’t think so. People want more determinism and this is just another step in that direction.


Can't wait to read about BERT on the front-page!


"temperature=0 & sampler=deterministic is all you need".


Deterministic predictions are sought by those looking to offload their decision responsibility to AI, whether to lower perceived legal risk or otherwise. This is fake risk reduction, i.e. "risk theater".

Unfortunately, a deterministic prediction utterly fails to yield an uncertainty measurement which is critical to have in actual risk reduction. If you want the variance in measurement, it is vital to obtain multiple measurements. This also gives a confidence interval.
