There is a missing link that shows the post-Apartheid behaviour - Paul Calder Le Roux.

https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/satoshi-files-paul...

It is all their when you include him: the unstable personal identity. The contempt for average South African (British or Afrikaaner) while being a minority white. The Sovereign Individualism. The use of the Internet to pioneer new firlds of commerce (telemedicine). The contempt for women. The attempts breed Ubermenschen. And of course, the utter contempt for Rule of Law.

We can also explain much of their behaviour when we look at his life story.

OneDonOne | 1 year ago | on: Don Knuth letter about libraries increasingly unable to afford prices (2003) [pdf]

Not all of us are able to, or want to, use ebooks. Especially textbooks where one may be going back and forth through chapters fairly frequently. Simply saying "muh Libgen" ignores how most people , especially teenagers, study. For teenagers, any smart device will lead to distraction if connected online. They usually choose Insta over the PDF reader in their distraction.

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, report finds

If any of this is true:

1. Why haven't renewable solutions solved Germany's energy crisis?

2. Why didn't Germany experience its current problems while its nuke pants were operating?

3. Why has Germany been opening dirty lignite mines instead of just applying Gigawatts of renewables?

Something is not right I think.

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: Firefox for Android is adding support for 400 add-ons

Not to sound like some sort of Pale Moon absolutist, but, I feel like the frontend changes were too much. And 3 years without Firefox biggest selling point is painful. It hurts. It really hurts. The only reason I haven't sold my soul and dignity to Chromium is that Iceraven lets me use μMatrix.

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: Language Models Represent Space and Time

No new ideas have been advanced in anything reported here. A state machine change state is all that is going on here.

What I'd like to know is why should anyone care about this preprint? Nothing has been stated on how this software will improve the life of the average human being.

LK-99 at least would have had lead.somewhere if it worked.

>A lot of people exercise their intellectual, economic, or political freedoms by rejecting others' efforts to gain the same things.

Could you please explain what the above has to do with a Large Languange Model?

If any colonialism is being done, it certainly is not being done by China. The "China.Debt Trap" nonsense has been.debunked too many times to count. As cited below.

Even where I am,CHEC is used as a local political tool, not the other way around.

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: South Africa imported a power station's worth of solar panels(3.4GW) in 6 months

So Tanzania,Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, Togo, Botswana, Seychelles, Mauritius etc. don't exist?

At the end of the day, South Africa was always a basket case. Massive defense industry trying build Peacekeeper missiles and Apache type helps. Dumping the majority of your population into a racist totalitarian hellscape. The economy only worked due to resource extraction that used a massively underdeveloped and overtaxed majority controlled gybe totalitarian state.

As much of the above economic superstructure has not changed, one can hardly then expect the basket to become a bucket.

Then you must have a very interesting definition of reggae.

This piece has no skank. It actually arpeggiates on the 4 beat, and is played by a percussion instrument, instead of the usual Fender Jazz electric guitar.

Also, none of the,drumbeats are present (rub-a-dub, steppers, one drop, rockers).

Listen to how your clip sounds compared to the below - Drop into a Walk by Yuzo Koshiro

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: Indian Influences on Rastafarianism

In this case we have a documented history of the origins of reggae music as an outgrowth from ska and reggae. This includes confirmation of the genre's post-Independence origins. So I'm not sure what this "Indian Origin of Reggae" comes from or why no historian or musicologist has ever noticed this.

OneDonOne | 2 years ago | on: Indian Influences on Rastafarianism

I've been hearing about this influence for,"years". But if you were to ask any of my classmates, co-workers or the guy who lives up the road from me - they'd laugh in your face.

Rastafarianism may have been influenced Indians - but it sure isn't now!

Rasta has always been a Black Power movement that takes Haile Selassie as the reincarnation of the Black Christ prophesied by the "prophet", Black Nationalist Marcus Mosiah Garvey.Think the Nation of Islam, but less dogmatic and centralized . Garvey is in other respects, Jamaica's first National Hero.

The ban on cutting hair (Leviticus 21:5, Numbers 6:1-5, Judges 13:5), vegetarian/pescatarian diet and the smoking.(not all Rastas are ganja smokers) are features of the Nazarite vow. No one is mentioning Indians when they're that Nazarite vow to join the House of Nyahbinghi or Bobo Ashanti
