Whatever your opinion on Brazille and her book can we at least all agree her deliberately lovely timing is not doing the upcoming elections any favors? The conversation wouldn't be so heated if it wasn't such a poorly time publicity stunt at the expense of potential elections and giving Trump something to yell about instead of current events. Dog tax:

Irrespective of whether or not she’s telling the truth, this is the entire reason for her doing it now. Maximum exposure means maximum book sales.

Although obviously not very single Go player ascribes perfectly to these patterns I nonethless notice clear trends in players taht have been both a delight to study and learn to exploit. I've never been more interested in Go in my life

7c Nickel posted:She conflated two separate agreements in order to sell her book because certain people can't orgasm without screaming about Clinton. And the explanation is that the agreement that gave Clinton camp extensive control over internal DNC workings was signed after she won the primary, and thus was normal functional stuff for a presidential campaign to take over after winning? Because it would seem, reading that article, that if that was the case, then Brazile was straight up lying, and also basically publicly quitting any role in the DNC ever again, right? That would be extremely dishonest, if the conflation you're ascribing to her worked the way you laid it out.

Uglycat posted:https://www.facebook.com/events/341522882972612/ Bob Avakian is leading a relatively low-compaction Narrativist cult that is left oriented, and that is who is the organizing force behind the November 4th protests. They are relatively low-compaction and not actively compacting because the insanity of the Trump administration actually conforms quite nicely with their Inner narrative. This enables them to expand and absorb non-Narrativist new members. In reality this is actually two groups of Narrativists screaming at each other- the Avakian cult (and a few clueless me-too's) on one side and a sizable portion of the Trumpstaffel on the other. Avakian's group is Narrativists and their protest are designed to appeal to Narrativists, which is why the right wing Narrativists are choosing it as their exemplar of the entire left. I would argue that you can see the difference in the level of penetration of Narrativism by contrasting these two groups at present- Avakian's cult is still almost unknown and the Noveber 4th meme they have inadvertently sparked is much more well known than they are at this point whereas Fox News is currently mainstreaming Alex Jones to their aging and credulous audiance.

I agree, it is! But her motivations for doing what she did, vs. the substance of what she said aren't the same thing. She can have lovely motivations for revealing poo poo that's actually true. It'd be pretty simple to find out, but only morons would want to know for sure!

It seems to be similar to Westboro Baptist, as a business model, from seein' 'em march into spaces and demand a lot of attention for radical ideas. The only real recruiting I see them do is try to insist that their founder wrote a book everyone has to read. I've not read it.

If DNC was bankrupt and Hillary used that to leverage influence that leaves the DNC in more serious disarray than if none of that is true and Brazile is just making this up. The future of both how to act within the party and around the party is heavily influenced by the outcome of this saga.

Not a comment on the Brazile article itself, but the idea that she wrote it to sell books seems strange. Who would she be trying to win over? Leftists hate her and aren't going to buy her book, and Clinton fans would take it as a sign that she's betrayed their camp.

And now the program is so advanced it can only seriously challenge itself using strategies that are drat near incomprehensible to human observers. Alphago is easily the coolest thing that google deepmind did. The level that alphago plays at is so far beyond humans that while we might get a few pointers from it, it's simply not something a human being could ever replicate. Insanely cool to watch though. My favorite part is that alphago doesn't care about how much it wins by - it just aims to win by 0.5, and will play in such a way that that 0.5 point is locked in, making its victories against aforementioned greats look close when it was really just masterfully controlling the game to the point that its opponent was kept to a half point deficit.
