Stop sealioning, this is simply Morocco once again using its desperate young population as pawns in their underhanded "diplomacy".

Those people had no way to stay in Ceuta or travel onwards in any way, so this was just a deadly flashmob performance.

Of course the whole thing does double duty in arousing fascists and racists in Spain and the EU, for which the cui prodest list is quite ample.


Oh so you actually believe these people were Moroccans?

They're quite obviously Moroccan.

Obviously? Morocco is a well-known hub for migrants from all over Africa who try to reach Europe, but these ones are "quite obviously" Moroccan? What makes it this obvious then?

We are not in the business of mass massacres. Maybe the US should come and study how to deport 60k people in 24h whithout having to shoot anyone.

> We are not in the business of mass massacres.

Those are unarmed but aggressive foreigners. There are way to stop them entering your country in mass in a few hours without committing a massacre.

Western Europe has no problem using crowd control methods against their own people when they are protesting for good reasons (remember the gilets jaunes?).

But states like Spain are totally incompetent and corrupt. They won't hurt a few foreigners literally invading their country for the optics and do not care their own citizen get hurt as consequence.


In 2014 there was an attempt to swim over in the same exact place by just 300 people. Spanish police used rubber bullets to repel them and 14 died in the water.

More than 60 have died this time, even unoppossed.

Deaths could have been easily in the hundreds or thousands in the case of a similar heavy handed response, but our corrupt and incompetent forces have succesfully controlled and defused the situation in a peaceful and humane way within 24h.

I'm quite proud actually.


In Spain, if you drive 1 h 20 minutes southwest of Madrid you get to Talavera de la Reina, which is a town all about ceramic and pottery:

Practicality and utility to the student must be the reason I started getting junior software engineers that are computer illiterates out of whatever Java IDE they were taught in.

Off topic, but I'm kinda sad there's only one Cosma Shalizi in the world. That dude is a treasure, I've been a fan for decades now.

"Aluminium carpentry" is a thing around here: people that build and install window frames, metal gazebos, conference stalls, custom sheds and so on. These huge data centers probably aren't using the quaint standard data center server cabinets.

For me it feels a lot like generated images or video. I've made lots of things now, but those that are 100% LLM written "work" but are uncanny, weird and the details are wrong everywhere you care to look in detail.

I think how I'd put it is like, it's a deterministic common denominator thing iterated on, but it's not really intuitive, it's not really "what makes sense" but rather "what would x look like", similar to how you point out it is when it comes to image generation

it's useful for scaffolding but after that I'm not sure how you could rely on it without being in the loop and directing how the code should be like


This has been my experience has well. For code generation, you have to really constrain these LLMs on your coding style, design goals, test cases, and overall expectations. I mainly use these tools to help my understanding of the code and to generate code for very specific problems. Even after all that setup and careful review I'd say it's still a net big speed up for certain software engineering tasks.

Jason Turner gave an excellent talk at last year's CppCon explain how he thinks tools can be used to make generative AI coding assistance safer and more productive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCuRUjxT5L8


I spent a few weeks there back in the day. After the ordeal of surviving the spawn I remember it as a haunting and melancholic experience: you kept finding decayed places, huge projects long abandoned, vandalized monuments, vague traces of simpler dwellings, hidden orchards.

I haven't played a lot of Minecraft but I'm glad that most of the little I played was there.


I did too. It had a LOT more swastikas at that time, it was a natural hangout for bored edgelords taking time off 4chan. I travelled far out and built a small underground base and then got bored. It wasn't easy to survive and get out of spawn because there was no food or soil or trees.

If anyone wants to look at it in your browser see this link: https://2b2t.place/@934,528,0.1179,0

If you want to relive your minecraft memories without actually playing minecraft again I recommend you check out the excellent game Vintage Story.


The made up cases are so many that they deflect each other and the few real ones. The real scandal is the state of our judicial power.


This is pretty common in any country going through a populist phase, they go against the judicial, as is happening in the US


what are you even talking about..

embarrassment of a child


I'll simplify it for you, populists from left and right (Trump and Sanchez) main trick is blaming the elites for preventing the will of the people.

This usually puts them in conflict with the judiciary, that and the fact populist government are usually incredibly corrupt (also due to contempt of existing standards)

My therapist asked me to track my binge eating episodes, empty log after a week...


Keep tracking and reporting to someone you trust! It can really help to know others are invested in you, whether random internet strangers encouraging you or people in your life you trust.
