The mighty computers:

People who make fun of LLMs most often do get LLMs and try to point out how they tend to spew out factually incorrect information, which is a good thing since many many people out there do not, in fact, “get” LLMs (most are not even acquainted with the acronym, referring to the catch-all term “AI” instead) and there is no better way to make a precaution about the inaccuracy of output produced by LLMs –however realistic it might sound– than to point it out with examples with ridiculously wrong answers to simple questions.

Edit: minor rewording to clarify

This needs to be a real command.

Regardless of political subtext, I found Master and Margarita a fun read. Nevertheless, Heart of a Dog of the same author was not pleasant to read.

Soviet literature was not worse than the works of pre-Revolution authors and ranged across many genres, from socialistic realism works to fantasy (Soviet sci-fi was great) and also many children books that are loved till this day. Unfortunately, same with other kinds of works, Soviet literature is disregarded by the West, as are many works that don’t conform to the Western values.

Beware, this sounds like a correlation fallacy. Correlation does not imply causation.

I agree that there are better choices than blue jeans, though.

Let us also not forget about their attempt at baking invasive DRM right into the browser.. Not mentioning recent experiments with replacing tracking cookies with “cohorts” and all sorts of privacy invasive “features” that claim to enhance your privacy but actually would help advertisers overcome client-side blockers.

Congrats comrade tavarisch! Really happy it went well for you ^^

Sometimes I realize everything is

Yes, in fact I first saw Spleen when I checked out OpenBSD. I think it uses that font by default in its terminal. It looks slicker than Terminus.

Sans serif: Workplace Sans, Ubuntu, Open Sans, IBM Plex, Orpheus Sans (greek), Neohellenic Sans (greek)

Serif: Baskerville, Garamond, Times New Roman, Didot (greek) and Bodoni (greek)

Monospace: DejaVu Sans Mono, Ubuntu Mono, Fantasque Mono

Fixed: Terminus, Spleen

Decorative: too many to list here

Papyrus is a neat decorative font.

Comic Sans is awful and annoying IMO.

I really wish there existed a scalable/vector (TTF/OTF) version of it. Bitmap fonts are usually good only for UI elements, not really suitable for print.

Good luck, comrade! Удачи, товарищ! ✨

Not the topic starter, but at some time I have sifted through that course. Seems pretty good for a free course. Of course one might need some additional materials, more grammar-oriented, depending on your learning needs, but otherwise, as somebody already pretty fluent in Russian, I can say that it is decent.

Synthesizer. I can barely play some soviet songs but I give my best for Gershon Kingsley’s Popcorn. I really like that tune :)

I used to sing when young but I’m not sure my voice is as good now. That doesn’t mean I don’t do it, from time to time, when I’m all alone though.

It is not unusual for niche communities (forums, wikis, etc.) to get targeted by spammers. I think they expect to find less moderation or something.

If it is about covering a basic need, I don’t see why this would be wrong. Of course, there is the aspect of supporting a private enterprise vs. a public service provider but, since it is an imformed and weighted choice that comes out of a need, I see nothing fundamentally wrong with it unless you want to be dogmatic (which a communist should not be). As a person living in a country where healthcare is in a similar state, I understand that sometimes you don’t have much choice unless you want to take risks with your health. Unfortunately living in a capitalist society means that even as a marxist you sometimes have to play by the system’s playbook.

I have tried to learn Esperanto. Its grammar is as easy as people claim it to be. The most difficult parts, as with any language, are learning vocabulary and finding somebody to practice (unfortunately hard for what strives to be an international language).

Still, at least to me, it feels more like a strange mixture of various european languages than its own thing. One could say it makes it easier to learn, but for me it shows that Esperanto cannot be considered truly international, as to people who are neither from Europe nor from an English-speaking country (who might even be using a diffrernt writing system) it still feels as foreign as English (albeit easier to learn).

I still like the ideals that inspired Esperanto and find conlangs to be a lot of fun. Still, if any language is going to dethrone English in coming years, existing languages like Chinese and Russian have more chances to do so. Meanwhile conlangs like Esperanto, Lojban, Interlingua and Toki Pona are still a very great way to meet like-minded people.
