Thanks for posting this lol. I love that the entire thing is completely libbed up including telling people to read the Guardian and Ha'aretz and then like you mention he name drops some left-wing media. The good episodes of Citations Needed are like highly corrosive acid to any of my wrongly-held liberal beliefs. Like the recent one about police body cameras. I don't think anyone's actually going to read this article and get hooked on the-podcast but we can only hope.

It's always interesting reading the biographies of Russian diplomats and public figures:

Wikipedia snippet on Mikhail Bogdanov:

Mikhail Leonidovich Bogdanov (Russian: Михаил Леонидович Богданов; born 2 March 1952) is a Russian diplomat.[1] He is Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia and Special Representative of the President of Russia for the Middle East.[2] He is also Deputy Chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestine Society.[3][4][5]

Mikhail Bogdanov graduated from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) in 1974.[6]

As student at MGIMO, he was the captain of the MGIMO basketball team of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and, later, he played professional basketball on the Lokomotiv (basketball club, Moscow).[1][a]

In addition to his mother tongue Russian, Bogdanov is fluent in Arabic and English.[1][2]

Mikhail Bogdanov worked in the Soviet embassies in South Yemen from 1974 to 1977, Lebanon from 1977 to 1980, Syria from 1983 to 1989, and Syria again from 1991 to 1994. He was Russian ambassador to Israel from 1997 to 2002, and ambassador to Egypt, and was concurrently Representative to the Arab League from 2005 to 2011.[6]

It's probably mostly just self-interested politics, but I still hope that some of these people have a bit of the Soviet spirit of anti-imperialism and international solidarity (and lord knows this Bogdanov has the looks).

The only specificish policy they even mention in the article is "increase the number of night-time walk-in emergency shelters available in churches and community centers".

You can completely disable it by just toggling it off in the Settings app.

Did you use some tool to create a GPT partition? It isn't bricked if it's just a bootloader issue.

Why even post these articles. Everyone has known this for 70 to 100 years.

Googling that gave me exactly the kind of bleak search results I was expecting. Cheery videos and articles about how progressive it is to give autistic people job training by having them identify targets in drone footage.

No he's saying they're gonna have autistic kids train AI algorithms by creating training data. So he wants to force kids into doing Mechanical Turk stuff for military drone targeting.

I also don't know if there's any Linux program that will automatically do the configuration for you.

It seems like it would be pretty complex since I guess you need to disable the linux host from using the GPU, and do PCI passthrough in a VM that has Windows installed.

And there's still the problem of the graphics needing to move around the system in order to get to the display instead of the display being directly connected to the GPU.

Seems like a pretty cool thing that would be neat to have a nice automated GUI solution for.

I was just looking at, seems like it's difficult but not impossible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTWf5D092VY

I'm in the same boat that it seems too difficult (and I bet the performance still isn't near native).

I just dual boot and boot into Windows if I'm going to play a game.

Wonder if there's gonna be a School of the Pandoras.

Up until 3 years ago I guess (thought it was more recent tbh), it would show blurry images instead of vector maps and satellite, but it looks like it's detailed now.

Previously I think Google had to comply with some protectionist policy that South Korea had in place so that people would use South Korean maps, or something like that.

Seems like a cool organization. It looks like it has over 90 countries as members, including Cuba, Russia, Iran, China, Vietnam, etc.

Israel is still listed on the members page and the competition this year already just happened, so lets see if they actual commit to banning Israel by the time the next one comes around https://ioinformatics.org/page/members

Looks like that one place in Greece probably doesn't have an exceptionally good life expectancy.
