Ruby on Rails@programming.dev•Ruby on Rails founder calls for the ethnic cleansing of Europe
3·6 days agoHighly politically active man who has every alt-right opinion in the book and is very familiar with the use and abuse of subtext just happens to use the conspicuous loaded word remigration when talking about the necessity of removing millions of people from Europe. I’m not buying it.
Ultimately a win-win, they get to go home and the load on our overburdened societal systems is reduced (housing, welfare, healthcare etc.).
That is the hope of course. If all voluntary measures fail and someone no longer has the right to residence (through lawfully attained citizenship for instance) then deportation becomes the only option.
Europe is not keeping refugees hostage. European countries have had programs to promote and assist emigration of certain groups for well over a decade. If it was truly win-win nobody would need to call it a sacred cow that needed to be killed.

science@lemmy.world•Ketogenic diets may increase cancer risk in the small intestineEnglish
9·6 days agoDon’t read too much into the title. It’s an animal study and found that another type of cancer went down simultaneously with this one type going up. It isn’t the actual notable finding of the study either, the study’s real title is Ketogenic diet mediates intestinal tumorigenesis through lipids not ketones.

Ruby on Rails@programming.dev•Ruby on Rails founder calls for the ethnic cleansing of Europe
20·6 days agoHe uses the word “remigration” right after explaining quite clearly that ethnicity is exactly what he is talking about.
It doesn’t help that it has been identified as a term for ethnic cleansing since 2019.
And let’s put our thinking caps on for like 1 second. How exactly do you expect unilaterally imposed “remigration” to actually happen? You ask millions of people nicely to uproot their lives and they just do it?
Reading between the lines they wrote this because of seeing “I hear you, and you are right to be suspicious — but I only use AI for spell checking, nothing more” one time too many.

TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 12th July 2026English
8·15 days agoSomeone made a pretty good, albeit very cautiously, almost concern-trollisly written blog post about recent internet drama Odin v. Wikipedia. Surprise: the conclusion is that Odin is fashTech. (warning, the blog appears to be LLM-designed. I do not believe the actual text is LLM-written but you can never be sure with that kind of writing style)

12·16 days agoDonations are not a good substitute for taxes at all. A social expectation of billionaires donating only ensures that the people who remain billionaires are the biggest assholes around to an even greater extent than they already are.
Just say nothing. Hitler legally cannot invade if you don’t sign a non-aggression pact with him.

Programming@programming.dev•OpenZL delivers high compression ratios while preserving high speed, a level of performance that is out of reach for generic compressors.
3·27 days agoIt can only do the impressive numbers after you give it a schema for the data, and the data has to be structured in a way that follows a rigid schema, so it’s not magic.
OpenZL compresses data into a self-describing wire format, any configuration of which can be decompressed by a universal decoder. OpenZL’s design enables rapid development of tailored compressors with minimal code; its universal decoder eliminates deployment lag; and its investment in a well-vetted standard component library minimizes security risks.
The freedom afforded by OpenZL’s graph model is a double-edged sword: the capability it offers comes at the cost of a combinatorial explosion of choices that must be made—namely which components to use and how to compose and configure them. There is no one-size-fits-all compressor
Webassembly for compression or something, but it’s made by the zstd people so maybe it will turn out to be magic eventually.
On one hand the x2.06 ratio for the SAO data is extremely good, zpaq and paq8px are 50x and 10000x slower at encoding and decoding and still can’t even reach that ratio (I didn’t try even more extreme compression, paq8px -8 already took 20 minutes).
On the other hand,
enwik: A Case Study Where OpenZL Performs Poorly
We present this case study to show that OpenZL is not a magic bullet for all use cases. The shortcomings are twofold. First, the standard codec library can achieve good results for many datasets, but is not currently optimized for human text. Second, English text is a highly compressible format for which domain- specific transformations are especially useful. xwrt combines multiple such transformations to achieve its results. With this in mind, we are optimistic that porting text-specific codecs and text parsing will improve the performance of OpenZL compressors in this domain.
Oh you did! Indeed, you have to complete the human campaign all the way through (to the point that you get an epilogue) to even be able to start the 2nd largest storyline after the human things.
Endless sky follows the old and storied tradition where 90% of the game’s content is locked behind speaking to a specific random NPC near the starting town, and not giving any hints at all that you’re going the wrong way. You probably fell victim to that.

What exactly would he go to prison for, that he did before getting into politics? Putting billionaires in prison wasn’t a thing the USA really does even before Trump, and the worst things he’s done seem to all be after he got into politics.
No, half the people died in early childhood and most of the rest lived for around 40-70 years. Agriculture also sometimes made life expectancies worse, even in the year 1900 life expectancy globally was still less than 35.
As long as it’s public speaking, and not public screaming, you’re good.

“Stop. You know nothing. You have baked 0 bread loaves by hand. No one has ever depended on your bread. You are a finger-wagging “they put dog poo in my bread” type in an era where you hide in plain sight coasting on the moral high ground of baking homemade bread from scratch at home without poo. You can’t ship bread, can’t adapt, can’t even realize that a bread shop is not the place for this kind of attitude.”

Found a 4 megabyte dump that seems promising though it’s from 2018 so outdated.

Look the ancient rom- I mean greeks were bronze, that’s a totally different color from hispanic. Unfortunately bronze doesn’t exist anymore and all the scrolls were written in black and white so we can never verify this.
