No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What makes Iran the big bad boogeyman of the middle east? Don't the Saudi's have more power and allies? Even Saddam was afraid of them so much so he said he had WMD to thwart an Iran.
31·12 hours agoBecause Israel and the US for shared as well as separate reasons existentially need a villain to wage a “holy” war against.
Narratives founded on conflict and exclusion must always have an enemy they can use to scare people into listening to their empty hate.

Technology@beehaw.org•Team unlocks large-scale Fourier transforms for analog in-memory computing
4·13 hours agoThe most fun way to understand the benefits of this in my opinion is to check out how crazy powerful and surprising software digital synthesizers and effects can sound and then think about how offloading any kind of digital synthesis/processing to analog means is free computing cycles from the digital perspective.
If you tried to capture the surface of a swimming pool along with measurements of momentum and then use a digital algorithm to predict how the surface will fluctuate (assuming no further disturbances beyond boundary conditions) it would be very quickly a computationally overwhelming task… but a real swimming pool just keeps on doing it endlessly.

TechTakes@awful.systems•United Airlines wants you to check in, not your chatbotEnglish
4·14 hours agoI can’t imagine giving a chatbot my bank info, but dealing with corporate websites and customer service is actually one of the benefits of AI that appeals to me.
This is just the “we need a universal standard” xkcd meme but with half-assed underfunded customer service schemes. We will end up with the same problem but worse.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•I think being politically intolerant in 2026 makes zero practical sense
1·16 hours agoThis is an echo chamber

This is the opposite of an echo chamber

At the level of physics, the absorption process simply involves small, microscopic particles. Acoustic foam is a material with an open-cell structure that allows sound waves to enter a network of small, interconnected air pockets. The air molecules must vibrate and collide with the foam’s fibrous structure as they pass through these pores.

The “echo chamber” metaphor is almost exclusively used to incorrectly portray communities with a structure like open cell foam with many smaller semiconnected communities as prone to producing echoes when it is the precise opposite structure of large open cavernous spaces bounded by hard surfaces (groups where everyone is always talking to everyone else equally) that produce overpowering echoes best.
Fragmentation does not produce echoes, creating large silos bounded by thick inflexible surfaces does.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•I think being politically intolerant in 2026 makes zero practical sense
7·16 hours agoI like to boil reality down to something really basic: the left (liberal, whatever) pushes us toward progress, which is good, but bad if it’s blind. The right (conservative) tests whether that progress can hold up. So both sides balance the world, at least in my naive little worldview.
You CANNOT boil things down to that basic of a narrative.
The right ACTIVELY SABOTAGES the left and advocates for violence and oppression of leftist movements all over the world.
Your axiomatic assertion here is naive and worse it involves you projecting something you desperately want to be true onto a reality that doesn’t fit.
What do you mean by “balance” anyways? Deadlock? Performative division masking lockstep conformity?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Epic CEO says ousting Jensen would be 'Apple firing Steve Jobs level of idiocy'—Musk would hire himEnglish
5·17 hours agoTim should raise capex for the massive AI costs by fundraising through twitch style streams where gamers pay him to sit quietly in a chair and keep his mouth shut.
There could even be a Q&A section where questions are asked to Tim and he still isn’t allowed to talk or else he loses all the funds he raised for that day.

An easy way to come up with some starting places is to search for “rate my build” type communities for recent posts at around the budget you have, see how people respond with suggestions or critiques and go from there.

Maybe, all I can say tell for sure is many places look down at the spectacle of US police brutality in an attempt to convince themselves the police where they live don’t have the same fundamental void at the heart of them.
