LMFAO, prices aren't a force of nature, they are set by people who own businesses who want to increase their profits. It's obvious that the issue doesn't lie with QE, but with private ownership of essential industries.

Please read what I actually wrote above because it addresses your question. There's no contradiction here, BoC expects inflation to rise as a result of QE, but the reason for that people who own companies decide to raise prices. Let me know if you're still having trouble understanding this, and need me to use smaller words.

The only thing weird here is that a grown ass adult would have trouble understanding something so basic.



La notte dei biplani


Metti insieme un po' di neuralink, un po' di Firefox volpe di fuoco e un buon 5% del pil e viene fuori un bel prodottino veramente utile al genere umano.

Che poi, uomini. Mica erano uomini quelli. Ragazzi? Bambini spaventati. Con il cavo del BOT che gli spenzolava dal collo e le mani che non riuscivano a star ferme per via dei tremori.
"Non bevete l'Absynx", ci dicevano," una droga, vi fa male, vi distrugge il cervello". Ah si, certo. Perché il BOT, invece? Cosa combina al cervello? Quando siamo collegati tutti insieme, noi del carro, io sento i loro pensieri, entro nei loro corpi,e vedo. Vedo. E poi a cosa vi servono i nostri cervelli in fondo?

Ci avete mandato in battaglia. Contro il nemico? No. In Irlanda. Ma che ci avevano fatto gli irlandesi? Parlano la nostra lingua, sono proprio come noi."Non importa", dicevate, "dovete fare il vostro dovere e basta". Così l'abbiamo fatto.

Non vedeva più niente, non sentiva niente. Era scivolato in una valle d'ombra da cui non c'era ritorno.
Poi ci avete mandato al fronte, dove c'erano i nemici veri, dove ci saremmo fatti onore. Invece ho visto solo trincee fangose, uomini pieni di pidocchi, sguardi tristi, filo spinato. E il nemico? Altre trincee, pidocchi, sguardi, filo spinato. Proprio come noi, anche quelli li. E io tremavo ormai, bevevo, avevo freddo, e Faulkner ci è morto a cena, stavamo mangiando e lui ha gridato ed è piombato a faccia in giù nella scodella del brodo, stava male già da tempo, perdeva sempre sangue dal naso."Pazienza", avete detto,"ve ne manderemo un altro".

Good enough for me.

Vehicle drives into Los Angeles crowd injuring 30 people


A vehicle drove into a busy crowd of people waiting to get into a nightclub in Los Angeles early Saturday, injuring 30 people, with at least five in critical condition.

The incident took place on Santa Monica Boulevard, the city’s fire department said, and people were quickly transported to local hospitals and trauma centers.

According to Cpt Adam VanGerpen, the public information officer for the LA fire department, the line of people struck by the vehicle, a Nissan Versa, were mostly female, and were waiting to get into the nightclub when the car also hit a taco truck and a nearby valet stand.

Trump administration to destroy nearly $10m of contraceptives for women overseas


The Trump administration has decided to destroy $9.7m worth of contraceptives rather than send them abroad to women in need.

A state department spokesperson confirmed that the decision had been made – a move that will cost US taxpayers $167,000. The contraceptives are primarily long-acting, such as IUDs and birth control implants, and were almost certainly intended for women in Africa, according to two senior congressional aides, one of whom visited a warehouse in Belgium that housed the contraceptives. It is not clear to the aides whether the destruction has already been carried out, but said they had been told that it was set to occur by the end of July.

People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"


Who are these people? This is ridiculous. 😀

I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.

People even have romantic relationships with these things.

in reply to 1984

I use chatGPT to kind of organize and sift through some of my own thoughts. It’s helpful if you are working on something and need to inject a simple “what if” into the thought process. It’s honestly great and has at times pointed out things I completely overlooked.

But it also has a weird tendency to just agree with everything I saw just to keep engagement up. So even after I’m done, I’m still researching and challenging things anyway because it want me to be its friend. It’s very strange.

It’s a helpful tool but it’s not magical and honestly if it disappeared today I would be fine just going back to the before times.



Netflix’s first show with generative AI is a sign of what’s to come in TV, film


Netflix used generative AI in an original, scripted series that debuted this year, it revealed this week. Producers used the technology to create a scene in which a building collapses, hinting at the growing use of generative AI in entertainment.

During a call with investors yesterday, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that Netflix's Argentine show The Eternaut, which premiered in April, is "the very first GenAI final footage to appear on screen in a Netflix, Inc. original series or film.” Sarandos further explained, per a transcript of the call, saying:

The creators wanted to show a building collapsing in Buenos Aires. So our iLine team, [which is the production innovation group inside the visual effects house at Netflix effects studio Scanline], partnered with their creative team using AI-powered tools. ... And in fact, that VFX sequence was completed 10 times faster than it could have been completed with visual, traditional VFX tools and workflows. And, also, the cost of it would just not have been feasible for a show in that budget.

Sarandos claimed that viewers have been "thrilled with the results"; although that likely has much to do with how the rest of the series, based on a comic, plays out, not just one, AI-crafted scene.



Zohran Mamdani and the “Black Vote”


cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/33391116

Last month’s results in some 15 percent of voting precincts with majority-Black populations, though, don’t tell the whole story. Rather than being a race about a mythically monolithic “Black vote,” Mamdani’s campaign could show us a different side of politics in New York — one that speaks to Black voters based on their material needs.

Staying on message about affordability was Mamdani’s route to victory in the primary, and it could hold the key in the general, too. If he can win over some Black voters — rather than the “Black vote” — he may yet again shock political observers and land himself in the mayor’s office. His foes, however, are already seizing on his primary performance.

There’s whole groups of people who have a problem with the genocide in Palestine but don’t care about the one happening in Ukraine.

don't like this

in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

That's because, there isn't. Russia just taking out the Nazi's
in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

It was the year that Ukraine was couped; the year that Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk voted by referendum to secede from Ukraine; and the year that Crimea voted by referendum to join Russia.

That’s the referendum with 89% voter turnout where 97% voted to leave Ukraine?

Those are almost unbelievable numbers.

in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

Do you find it hard to believe that a majority Russian & Russian-speaking people, with family and business ties in Russia, whose president they voted for had been couped, might prefer joining Russia over the far-right wing anti-Russian coup government of Ukraine?

Getting 89% of people to do anything with 97% of those agreeing is impressive.

Even with the least controversial opinions there will be 20-25% who typically disagree.

in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

Being targeted by nazis tends to unify populations who do indeed have varied opinions on everything else. This isn't asking people what kind of beverage they prefer, it's about sovereignty and protection from fascist paramilitaries, and, post-coup, fascist state forces.
in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

Go look at numbers for anywhere outside of the North Atlantic Euro-American imperial core and you'll find that overwhelming majorities are commonplace.

For example, Harvard conducted a 15-year study of Chinese citizens living in China and found that 95.5% of them supported their national government and believed it was working in their best interests.

in reply to jackeroni

So they say, but there are Nazis fighting for Russia. Wagner group, named after Richard Wagner whose music Hitler was fond of. One of their founders and leaders was openly a Nazi. Rusich group also operates within Wagner and their leader is even more of a Nazi.

The links between the Russian state and right-wing extremist groups are numerous. But it seems to me in general that ultranationalist/fascist groups have stronger support in former Soviet states than elsewhere. Russia and Ukraine are no exception.

in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

We're not selling weapons to russia for genocide.

There's a lot of people who have a problem with russia but dearly love everything netanyahu is doing.

in reply to SatansMaggotyCumFart

I see plenty of people, even on this site, who are calling for peace in Ukraine. Unfortunately they get shouted down by armchair warriors who just see all this as part of their geopolitical 'game'.

in reply to Parculis Marcilus

Nobody is enjoying the death. Any death's on either side can be laid at the feet of the US empire. They could have just not had the democratically elected government of Ukraine overthrown in 2014 and replace it with a anti-russia pro-NATO expansionist Nazi regime. Russia is only doing what it feels is best to keep total western dominance at bay

A woman who was detained in Parliament Square said: “We demand that #Palestine Action is de-proscribed.

“Our government is not only arming a genocide, they are using terrorism laws to silence people who speak out."

Health experts raise alarm over RFK Jr’s ‘war on science’ amid mass firings and budget cuts


The Trump administration’s “war on science” appears to have entered a new phase in the aftermath of a recent supreme court decision that empowered health and human services secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a prominent vaccine sceptic, and other agency leaders, to implement mass firings – effectively greenlighting the politicization of science.

The decision comes as Kennedy abruptly canceled a scheduled meeting of a key health care advisory panel, the US Preventive Services Task Force, earlier this month. That, combined with his recent removal of a panel of more than a dozen vaccine advisers, signals that his dismantling of the science-based policymaking at HHS is likely far from over.

“The current administration is waging a war on science,” warned Celine Gounder, a professor of medicine and an infectious disease expert at New York University in a keynote talk in May to graduates of Harvard’s School of Public Health.

Ukraine proposes new round of peace talks with Russia next week


Kyiv has proposed to Moscow a new round of peace talks next week, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Saturday, after negotiations stalled in early June.

Two rounds of talks in Istanbul between Moscow and Kyiv failed to result in any progress towards a ceasefire, instead yielding large-scale prisoner exchanges and deals to return the bodies of killed soldiers.

“Security Council secretary [Rustem] Umerov also reported that he had proposed the next meeting with the Russian side for next week,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address to the country.

Did Ukraine eventually retrived those bodies? At first they refused to.

July 19 (Reuters) - Russian forces staged a mass drone attack on the Ukrainian Black Sea port city of Odesa early on Saturday, setting ablaze at least one multi-storey apartment building and killing one resident, authorities said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the attack on Odesa injured six people, including a child.
