  • I question why anyone would have a monopole or exclusive right to a topic of conversation :)

    But I actually disagree due to another fundamental point: USA politics are in fact involving and impacting the rest of the world. The USA leads NATO and has previously threatened to drop it, as well as the WHO, they get involved (sometimes violently) in foreign affairs (afghanistan). They are a huge economic market to which many foreign companies try to sell or get funding. They are the biggest stock exchange (still today I guess).

    The influence of the USA exceeds its borders since quite a while now. It is only normal for people to feel involved, despite not being from the USA. Same with Russia, same with China.


  • In the deep learning community, I know of someone using parquet for the dataset and annotations. It allows you to select which data you want to retrieve from the dataset and stream only those, and nothing else. It is a rather effective method for that if you have many different annotations for different use cases and want to be able to select only the ones you need for your application.













  • I don’t care which is better. But I can share certain unique features which make me personally chose GrapheneOS over all other options I know of:

    • it is possible to relock the bootloader
    • you can disable the internet permission
    • the location service is independent on google services, even if you install them
    • you can use mutliple profiles and pipe notifications from one profile to another
    • you control native app debugging (and its off by default)
    • you have storage scope (as well as contacts scope)
    • you get all the latest security patches and really fast
    • and more…
