Watch Elon Musk of 2012 vs 2025.

Long term drug use clearly destroyed his brain. He never was very smart but 2012 Musk is a fucking genius in comparison

Ummm. Elon Musk made $100,000,000,000 by making internet propaganda about how his electric cars are better than internal combustion, lies about their capabilities (full self driving), lies about how often they explode and lies about how well his Robots work. And then the propaganda is so strong he becomes Buddy in chief and people think that literally paying Musk another $50Billion is a good idea.

The cats out of the bag. Internet propaganda is too cheap and too effective. Everyone will be doing it if only to counter Elon Musk (let alone make money for themselves like through bullshit crypto coins or whatever).

You or I deciding to ‘not fill the internet with shit’ stops nobody. It’s going to happen given this political climate and the benefits therein.

Lemmy.ml started off as marxist-lenninist site. All sites need to start with a niche and I doubt any future social network will avoid the niche issue.

I think normies are turning off of Lemmy recently, which naturally causes the extremists feel more loud (because the extremists will NEVER leave this site).

Trying to figure out a good social network is like looking for a good hangout in real life. The people who frequent is entirely the picture. It’s hard to compete vs commercial interests like Blue sky or whatever as they pop up though.

Still, Threads, BlueSky and Twitter are all obviously suspect sites that will seed algorithms with their message. Lemmy doesn’t do that. Lemmy has its own issues but it’s very much a pick your poison situation.

Early internet was just information about hobbies and for the betterment of people and furthering knowledge. Let’s take that back.

Nope. After 2010s proved that the internet is the central location for political battles with Wikipedia Blackouts causing major political shifts, Pandoras Box has been opened.

The internet is now the premier location for propaganda and politicalization.

Fascists are building the camps right now and you’re mad that people are shouting outside of the q&a portion of a town hall.

Yes. Because this proves you don’t got my back in 2026.

If you can’t prove you’re going to be useful to me in stopping Trump next time, then I don’t give a shit about anything else you say.

And sitting here talking about how Biden was a genocide supporter and Kamala deserved to lose is just that. Fucking propaganda designed to stop our best chance at ending Trump last election or this next election.

You fucking get on board for 2026. None of this bullshit about fucking AOC up in her next speech.

I’m here to support the people who are doing things. Not to pull Jill Stein bullshit or whatever you think you are doing.

Get your head out your ass. Fucking up the Democrats won’t help you vs Trump in 2 years or 4 years.

YOU are the ones not pushing back about anything

No. I’m pushing back against YOU. A danger to the 2026 election if you continue on this path.

I’ve explained plenty to my friends why Donald Trump and his policies are horrible. I don’t need to explain that to you, because you’ve gone far over to the point where your words are now counterproductive and helping Mr. Trump again.

What I need to tell you, in particular, is that you’re counterproductive and worse than useless. You’re like this protester in AOC’s town hall. You can’t even see the fucking context of the situation in this fucking thread. Take a step back, calculate the politics a bit better, and see what’s best for you and everyone. Including those in Gaza. The #1 goal is the defeat of Donald Trump.

And you continue to prove my point. This is a topic about “Free Palestine” protesters going too far and attacking of all people, AOC on this issue.

Glad to know I can’t count on you, or anyone from your political ideology, to help us defeat Trump.

I just want to make sure everyone else is aware of this. Thanks.

We’ve confirmed that Trump is part of the Warmongers with this move. But instead of pushing back vs the genocidal maniacs, you fuck up our overarching political moves and political strategy.

It’s fine. My point here is to show who is, and who isn’t, part of the reliable bloc of anti-Trump moving forward. It’s better to know today that the Free Palestine idiots will die on this hill rather than work with us on the issue. Nothing is enough for you, and you’ll continue to espouse anti-Democrat talking points even in our moment of need and unity.

There was a ceasefire deal pushed by Biden which was active when Trump was inaugurated.

https://www.defense.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/article/4032622/biden-announces-ceasefire-deal-between-hamas-israel-in-farewell-address/

Period.

Stop fucking lying to yourself. We know who broke the deal and who pushed for it to be broken.

Worse. It’s the idiocy of the far left who are getting manipulated into self destructive behavior like this.

Yes there’s an element of manipulation here. But there’s also the stupidity of allowing yourself to get manipulated by dumb shit you saw on Facebook.

This is just a preview of the resistance we will see next election year. We need to stand firm and build a true coalition to retake the country.

Biden forced peace upon Israel, strong arming them into a ceasefire.

Trump reopened the war and now has more bombs over the region. And yet it’s somehow Kamala’s fault for the situation.

How fucking stupid is the Free Palestine group? Answer: not stupid at all. Y’all are fucking malicious at this point and it’s time we consistently pointed out the hypocrisy.

Kamala supported genocide tho. /s

Great answer!!

After thinking about all this for a while, I’ve gone with the basic binary tree (leaning towards AVL tree as I expect my use case to be read heavy).

In my use case, multiple ‘intervals’ can merge together without major penalty (and should be merged together). It looks like a lot of these interval trees (including ph trees) are best when the intervals need to be kept separate.

There is a part of my algorithm where ph trees might be useful though. I’ll have to give it some though.

I’m kind of shocked that a basic binary tree ended up being so usable. Its a classic for a reason, lol. I guess I saw the intervals and got confused and overcomplicated things…

And typical RAM speeds are 100GB/second for CPUs and 500GB/second on GPUs, meaning 512MB operations are literally on the order of 5 miliseconds for CPU and 1ms on GPU.

Below certain sizes, the ‘billions of intervals’ is larger than the damn Bitmask. Seriously, 8 bytes per interval (aka one pointer and 0 data) and that’s 8GB for the data structure.

Instead of a billion 32-bit intervals to store (4GB of RAM at the minimum) it’s obviously a better move to store 500-million byte Bitmasks. And modern GPUs can crush that in parallel with like 3 lines of CUDA anyway.

Because CUDA and ROCm/HIP are far easier to program.

The Khronos competitor to CUDA/ROCm is SYCL not OpenCL.

SYCL vs these other options is a fun theoretical problem, but only Intel seems to be pushing SYCL at all. OpenCL got stuck in OCL1.2 (the 2.0 release was dead. 3.0+ OpenCL ignores OCL2.0 but it’s too late, OpenCL is seen as a dead end tech these days).

The biggest issue is that OpenCL is a different language, while CUDA/HIP/SYCL are ‘just’ C++ extensions. This means that if you ever shared data between CPU and GPU in OpenCL (or DirectX or Vulkan for that matter), you have to carefully write and rewrite structs{} to line up between the two languages.

Meanwhile, CUDA/HIP support passing structs, classes and more between CPU and GPU (subject to conditions of course. GPUs can’t do function pointers or vtables for example, but cpu-only classes can have vtables)

And you fail to address my point.

These loose collections of movements are too easily disparaged and negated on the political stage. I wish you the best, but I know what’s going to happen

The violence will escalate and there will be no spokesman to strategize a message.

You haven’t said anything that addresses my core point. You just hope, without reason, that your methods will lead to meaningful change.

You underestimate the ease at which the right can disrupt leaderless leftist mobs.

We are beginning to see the deployment and coordination of far right individuals to attend things like Tesla Takedown. And unlike you, these far right assholes have a leader and a plan, and know each other.

How will you differentiate between false flag ops done during these protests vs official acts of resistance?

I wish the best for the protesters. But it’s all very dumb. Maybe we manage to defeat Trump in the long term but some very obvious acts of disruption are going to fuck over these protesters.

They should be trying to learn from Occupy, BLM and other more recent movements.

I promise you. If an effective leader took charge and ownership of one of these groups, entire swaths of online media will follow up.

Oprah, MeidasTouch podcast, TheBulwark, The Atlantic, Guardian, etc. etc.

There’s plenty of allied media. But no leader that we can put on our media. We have a media disadvantage but it’s not completely dead. We can work with this.

More siloed than literally the separate but equal era??

I don’t think so. MLK Jr. Had to do that shit with zero Black media supporting him. Because black media didn’t exist.

The French solved this problem by creating a separate Congress to represent the people.

Ignore the like 40 years of violence and infighting. But I do believe that we need something more akin to this. If the Democratic party is dead then we build our own.

Democrats are invited of course, lol. And hell, might as well invite Republicans too. But in any and all cases, it needs a leader that can speak for everyone and is responsible for the actions of everyone.

No.

But the #1 podcast is now the anti-Trump MeidasTouch network. They’ll run your leaders.

There are protests and marches going on - I’d forgive you not knowing about them since nobody (including “left leaning media”) covers them. You’ll only see coverage in non-domestic outlets.

I’m talking about 50501, Tesla Takedown and Latino Freeze.

I’ll forgive you for not knowing about these protests because they don’t have spokespersons. Also, it’s probably irrelevant to learn about these leaderless groups because they’re inevitably doomed to fail without a leader.
