Maybe your and my idea of what private means is different.
In this case, I mean that they are not the state. The state itself censors all mentions in their own communications. And the state also censors mentions by people who are not the state, i.e. private persons.
why would any government be okay with people commemorating an attempt to overthrow them?
Because that is free private speech. That is what free speech means.
You are allowed to commemorate Jan 6 in the US. I think you are an idiot if you do so, but that it still your right to free speech.
Firstly that’s public.
It is a private person saying a thing. As opposed to the state saying a thing.
And the text also says:
all three face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
You write:
you Brits
WTF? I am not British.

Alliance vice-chairperson Chow Hang-tung and 25 activists were prosecuted in 2020 simply because they insisted on lighting candles in Victoria Park despite the government prohibiting the vigil that year, ostensibly on Covid-19 grounds. In 2021, after the police banned the vigil once again, Chow was arrested on 4 June after encouraging people on social media to commemorate the crackdown by lighting candles.
Ultimately, Chow was jailed for 22 months for taking part and inciting others to take part in an unauthorised assembly. She and fellow Hong Kong Alliance leaders Lee Cheuk Yan and Albert Ho have also been charged with “inciting subversion” under the National Security Law and all three face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Well, it is undisputed that the CPC censors all mentions of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. Both public and private - the US may lie, but private free speech is still allowed. So can we please stop pretending that China in its current form is not doing evil?
So if China is so nice, what is the identity of the “Tank Man”? Why can’t we find him? It is like he “disappeared”.
The third variant mentioned by Wikipedia (Tally marks used in France, Portugal, Spain) seems more elegant to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_marks#Clustering
Despite the fact that Microsoft was where it was then because IBM had chosen DOS for its PC operating system until that time.
Is this actually morally bad? Unless MS had promised otherwise, isn’t it just competition?
In some cases, it is “code as documentation”. Saves me from 1) remembering the steps 2) means I actually doing the steps correctly 3) Actually remembering to do the 10 minute task when I need to.
If I had not done the program, then I often would have to write down and maintain documentation elsewhere.
This shooting war is going to end some way, eventually. And the ending is going to be some form of diplomacy, implicit or explicit. Even just agreeing to pretend each other don’t exist is a form of diplomacy.
The only case where Iran should not care about pissing off Trump, was if the US was totally annihilated. Trump is a madman with a nuclear suitcase.
But Iran does need to negotiate. They are being bombed quite a lot right now. Iran is not going to surrender, but they would prefer not to get bombed. Antagonizing Trump is not going to help Iran.
Like, maybe? She could also just be a jerk. It is hard to know without social cues on context.
The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.
An LLM has an internal state while predicting text. The “next token” chosen takes that state - a model of the world - into account. So a LLM is predicting the next token based on a world model and the previous text.
Saying that it is “only predicting the next token”, without more context, while technically true is very misleading.
