Words have definitions! You don't want to "end capitalism", you just want a mixed economy; some private, some public. Tankies are just as bad as Milton Friedman, if not worse. Capitalism ≠ Robber-barons.

@frodehommedal.bsky.social I saw an AP article saying that preparations to let Ukraine build their own Patriots were still continuing, despite Trumps statement on July 31. Any news on that ? (If it's still a go, it will take to much time, but still. )

@Strabisme@toot.aquilenet.fr The "power socialists" in power in Norway at the moment have dammed rivers, dumped smoke from ore-smelters into the air, alllowed dumping of mining waste in fjords, enforced brutal decisions on immigration, advocates stigmatising drug policies just like (or *more than*) our conservative party. All while increasing opportunities for under-privileged. Free kindergarden, public funding for schools/univiersities. All "left wing". @Nocta_Senestra@eldritch.cafe @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

@Strabisme@toot.aquilenet.fr That's probably directed at my too broad generalisation, "usually ends up" is too broad. This is totally beside the point that words have meanings, but for completeness: Extreme left where private property is all but prohibited, on a nation state level, usually ends up in authoritarianism.

@bulwarkonline "the Italian scholar Umberto Eco noted in his famous essay “Ur-Fascism,” the rejection of modernity for the sake of an imagined past, necessarily paired with irrationalism and a “distrust of the intellectual world,” is a core component of fascist ideology. In turn, that anti-intellectualism serves an ideology that, as Eco notes, valorizes violence for its own sake and can only understand heroism through the prism of violence."

@bich@apobangpo.space One root cause for this predicament I believe is the tendency of newer academic text-books to be overly verbose. A text-book should be so dense that a reader needs to read every word, slowly. Appreciate every nuance, every comma. If students need things repeated, they can read twice, have a class-mate explain it, work the problems or a dozen different things.
A typical US-made text-book makes me die inside by the second page.

@Vocu@masto.yttrx.com What happened after the US civil war is an interesting case-study. I don't know precisely what to learn, other than that the US reconstruction did *not* work. The South lost the war, but won the peace. They were pushed back in the 1960s, an resurged from the 1980s on.
South Africa I know even less about, but "truth and reconciliation" in some form seems like a good idea.

@AndyKotlarz@mastodon.social Language evolves. There are now terms for churning out stuff, because that is what people do. 100 years ago a crafts-person would *be* their craft, take pride in their work.

Quoting
they say:
A malicious dataset abused two code-execution paths in our dataset processing (a remote-code dataset loader and a template-injection in a dataset configuration) to run code on a processing worker. From there, the actor escalated to node-level access, harvested cloud and cluster credentials, and moved laterally into several internal clusters over a weekend.
and in the comments someone mentions this repository so i go and check it out and there's this PR that seems about right. so i don't know kubernetes but it seems like there was a kubernetes worker that could just run arbitrary commands on their clusters if compromised, so that's cool.
there was also this PR from 2 hours ago that "temporarily reject(s) the packaged raw Arrow builder in safe_load_dataset_builder" pending this PR in another repo that validates maliciously formed arrow IPC record batches. hmm that sounds like the code in question.
safe_load_dataset_builder was introduced here on june 11th: https://github.com/huggingface/dataset-viewer/pull/3360 in a PR that allegedly makes data loading safer and switched the repo to only using data streaming as part of a sprint that the author describes as being about loading LLM traces and streaming data shuffling.
i'm not going looking for and trying to diagnose the full template injection path, but idk at least from what I can tell, code written by AI in order to feed more data to AI at least has been busily associated with, if not introduced some vulnerability which is now being patched by flurries of more AI code being rushed through while tests keep failing. I am not so sure about their lessons learned being "make sure you have more AI to help you to understand the problems that AI creates."

@pawsplay@dice.camp All this is true. BUT; when people feel the emergency is over, complacency and navel-gazing comes back *very* fast. So, the worst can be fixed quickly, but the undermining of the foundations will take a long time to fix, because the urgency will be gone.
Anti-trust, food and safety, consumer rights, to name a few, they all require a large pool of conscientious bureaucrats who take pride in their work. For them to come back *will* take a long time. who@iris_meredith@mastodon.social
