Yeah it’s far from perfect, but it’s still better than most countries in most ways.
Child protection however is an extremely difficult area, because getting it wrong is horrible, despite they think they are helping the child. In other situations, there really is a need to protect the child.
I don’t know if this woman has gotten her children back
Probably not, the standard mode for social workers/services I’ve seen here in Denmark, is to double down, no matter how wrong their original decision was. It was their decision, and they are right by law, and it basically can’t be questioned.
simply being Greenlandic will be enough to get the attention of social workers.
The tests cover attachment, personality traits, cognitive abilities and psychopathology, and take about 15-20 hours. It is almost impossible to pass them, says Nellemann; even he and his colleagues have failed to do so.
I remember reading about this late last year, and I remember not trusting that social worker or the process one bit.
I once watched a documentary about this kind of “social service” and some of their methods are 100% unscientific, and don’t take personality traits or just moods into account, like whether a person is extro- or introvert. I even posted about it on feddit.dk, but was met with much skepticism. One of the things I saw, was that if a baby doesn’t seek eye contact with a stranger holding it, it should be a sign that the mother doesn’t give the baby enough attention! Yes really it’s that stupid! When obviously it’s more likely the baby doesn’t appreciate a stranger.
I can’t put into words how much I despise that kind of quackery! Because that’s what it is.
But quackery is unfortunately standard procedure in social services. And social services even trump real doctors, meaning quackery trumps real doctors by law!!
Quackery is illegal in Denmark, except in social services where it’s an everyday phenomenon.
I hope you find a way. 🤞
But we’re pre-dating the common distro hopping discussions
No we aren’t, Linux fora were full of them even before Ubuntu more than 20 years ago. Debian, Suse, Fedora, Mandrake, Mepis, PCLinux.
Distro hopping was always a thing people debated.
The rest of that sentence is a bit confusing, who are we? And how am I supposed to read minds? And going back was kind of where we started, because you claimed it was a new thing for Debian. Debian was definitely recommended to general users, for many good reasons. Stability and huge repository among them, but also user friendly install procedure, and good package manager, that handled dependencies way better than Suse and Fedora.
I think this points to the idea that knowing why an answer is correct is important.
If by knowing you mean understanding, that’s consciousness like General AI or Strong AI, way beyond ordinary AI.
Otherwise of course it knows, in the sense of having learned everything by heart, but not understanding it.
Debian was never talked about as a serious contender in distro hopping
Back in 2005 when Ubuntu was all the rage, the first alternative to Ubuntu was almost always Debian. Only later when Mint became a thing, that was also an obvious alternative, because it was similarly focused on being easy to use.
Good summary. 👍
Debian. I do see Debian mentioned now a lot more than it has been in years.
I haven’t noticed much difference, Debian has always been the go to distro if you wanted reliability and repositories that cover almost everything. Debian has always been an excellent choice for productivity. It’s not by accident that Debian for more than 20 years has been the distro with by far the most derivatives.
By that standard Arch is the only distro that has achieved something similar, and it may be somewhat telling that SteamOS switched from Debian based to Arch based. Arch is way smaller in scope, and more nimble and easier to maintain. But AFAIK they do not have the democratic process Debian has, so I’m not sure it can really be called community based distro like Debian. Arch has more of a top leadership.
Debian is probably the most true to the Free and Open Source ideals among the big distros.
Why is it rong to forgive the one you love ?
Whoever you were unfaithful with probably hadn’t promised your boyfriend anything, so definitely it’s irrational to blame “the other guy”.
If you had agreed to be in a monogamous relationship, you broke that agreement, and for most people that’s a very serious thing.
I do not however buy into your claim that this issue is something men care about more than woman. On the contrary women are generally the ones complaining about potentially unfaithful men, and I’ve heard many women generalize that men are often unfaithful, to a degree one would think that is much more common.
But statistics clearly indicate that since there are more men than women, chances are that on average, women are more frequently unfaithful than men.
it doesn’t know or understand
But that’s not what intelligence is, that’s what consciousness is.
Intelligence is not understanding shit, it’s the ability to for instance solve a problem, so a frigging calculator has a tiny degree of intelligence, but not enough for us to call it AI.
There is simply zero doubt an AI is intelligent, claiming otherwise just shows people don’t know the difference between intelligence and consciousness.
Passing an exam is a form of intelligence.
Can a good AI pass a basic exam?
YES.
Does passing an exam require consciousness?
NO.
Because an exam tests abilities of intelligence, not level of consciousness.
it can only guess at the next statistically most likely piece of information based on the data that has been fed into it. That’s not intelligence.
Except we do the exact same thing! Based on prior experience (learning) we choose what we find to be the most likely answer. And that is indeed intelligence.
Current AI does not have the reasoning abilities we have yet, but they are not completely without it, and it’s a subject that is currently worked on and improved. So current AI is actually a pretty high form of intelligence. And can sometimes out compete average humans in certain areas.
they keep growing.
I haven’t seen that. No kings was a good effort, but it seems to have fizzled out.
Or maybe this is Bridge, where you need to have a good partner, but trump is playing alone against 3. 🤣
Trump is not playing cards, he is playing shit on the carpet, and he thinks he is winning, because nobody else is doing it.
But all he is doing is leaving a huge stink in USA, making life worse for Americans, and keeping everybody else away.
Then they could at least state it was an accident. Instead of:
the evidence didn’t meet the threshold for criminal charges
I have no idea how Americans can just stand by and watch while these things are happening?
That headline is a straw man, and the article really argues on General AI, which also has consciousness.
The current state of AI is definitely intelligent, but it’s not GAI.
Bullshit headline.
Yes that’s what counts ultimately, but it was remarkable how normal Trump behaved at the NATO summit.
But another reason it won’t go anywhere is that Republicans in general don’t favor leaving NATO. And with only partial Republican support, it can never pass.
That’s crazy, Denmark is one of the most expensive countries in EU, but here you can absolutely live decently on $35/hr.
Apparently higher taxes but benefits like free healthcare and education beats the lower taxes of USA.
Expenses must be insane in USA to not be able to live off $35/hr.
This bill is going nowhere, and Trump just said at the summit that he would honor article 5.
I know Trump often changes his mind, but the summit showed that Trump has definitely changed course for the better regarding NATO.
He also claimed he wanted to make self driving safer than humans. You can’t do that well if the car has the same visual limitations a human has.
