    It’s a UX issue. If you make votes public they should be very clearly so, the way reactions are on Facebook, LinkedIn etc, and everyone would be fine with it. What’s getting people’s panties in a twist is that Lemmy superficially presents itself as having anonymous voting but the logs are tucked away behind some convoluted process that you have to just know about and only seems to work about half the time.

    I read it as criticising reductionist views of the many diverse nations that existed in North America before Europeans showed up and decided that the whole continent was Terra Nullius.

    To this day a significant number of US high school American History textbooks only discuss the tribes in terms of their interactions with European invaders, and shy away from anything that might make them look like they were ever legitimate nations. Referring to them as ‘Native Americans’ instead of by name also has this effect.


  • That’s my whole point, it wasn’t Ballet Vision’s option to exercise, it was Kibbutz Hanita’s, but the opening summary erroneously describes it as the exact opposite. Here’s from later on in the article:

    As part of the agreements, the Chinese fund granted the remaining minority shareholders an option to require it to purchase their remaining shares for about $9.5 million, now valued at roughly $11 million, by early December 2025.

    (edit: I had a little search just now to see whether it was true that China have made it illegal to invest in Israeli companies. Half the results were literally reporting on this story, and the other half of results were about Chinese companies actively aiding illegal Israeli settlements, which makes me suspect that BV’s claim that their hands are tied is bullshit.)




  • The insane thing about TSLA’s valuation compared to either its profit or revenue, is that it’s based on the idea of it growing by a bigger margin than the market could possibly have room for, even if they did turn around their tired-out product lineup and managed to get everyone to stop hating them. People still seem to treat them like a plucky new startup in its fast growth phase, even though they’ve been around two decades already.

    They made barely 0.2% of their market cap in profit in 2025. A 12 month US treasury bond pays 3.52%. TSLA could increase profits by over 1500% and still be worse than a treasury bond whilst also being higher risk.



  • The hash proves which bytes the answer was grounded in, should I ever want to check it. If the model misreads or misinterprets, you can point to the source and say “the mistake is here, not in my memory of what the source was.”.

    Eh. This reads very much like your headline is massively over-promising clickbait. If your fix for an LLM bullshitting is that you have to check all its sources then you haven’t fixed LLM bullshitting

    If it does that more than twice, straight in the bin. I have zero chill any more.

    That’s… not how any of this works…
