Second chance for all and the human side of justice – review of Recovering America

Image
Recovering America (2024) by Robert F. Kennedy proves to us that everyone deserves a second chance. The documentary also implicitly underscores the importance of restorative justice. At 23:07, the documentary features a successful Utah enterprise that directly demonstrates second chance, as the employees there once had drug issues. At 13:42 and 16:25, judges Steven Leifman and Maria Elena Verde say that many drug addicts in prison should not be imprisoned from the start. They add that drug addicts have psychiatric disorders and histories of violence. The judges add that the justice system has recovery programs to keep drug addicts out of jail and to enable the addicts to heal. Most drug addicts chose the recovery program. Drug addiciton is indeed an effect of violence and psychiatric disorders. As the solutions to those issues are often out of reach, the affected are forced to seek more volatile and ultimately self-destructive methods to soothe the pain, including drug abuse....

Conserve usage of large-language models

Image
Large-language models return answers based on their databases and protocols A large-language model ( LLM ) is a software system that generates an impression of conversations using petabytes of data stored in its databases. The concept of LLM emerged in the early 2020 with the advent of OpenAI ChatGPT, which gained 100 million users in its first month of operation. Having noticed the advent of ChatGPT, several software engineering companies also launched their own large-language models. Large-language models rapidly generate answers but their underlying infrastructure consumes billions of watts because they are thousands of servers that must transmit data across tremendous distances and cable lengths. As for their massive energy consumption, their companies commissioned power plants specifically to serve the power requirement of their LLM projects. LLMs are best for generating article summaries or rendering information for relatively non-divisive topics, such as how to stay healthy o...

Ysten Zizek view on suicide

If you spot or suspect any signs of suicide, immediately call emergency services. Do not wait. Crisis Line PH (02) 893-7603 (Landline) 0919-056-0709 (Smart) 0917-800-1123 (Globe) Hopeline PH (02) 804-4673 (Landline) 0917-558-4673 (Globe) 0918-873-4673 (Smart) Southern Philippines Medical Center 0962-954-3135 (general hotline) 0999-224-9783 (social worker hotline) National Center for Mental Health 0917-899-8727 (Globe) 0908-639-2672 (Smart) I encountered a post from a random Facebook account. While the Facebook account, called "Ysten Zizek," never provides the user's real identity, one of its post about life and death is particularly revealing, not just because it mentions suicide, but also because it reflects censored voices on the suicide issue. Suicide is an anomaly in the animal world, as no non-human animals have ever been confirmed to actively and consciously hasten its own death. The world "suicide"...

Orphanhood and supermobility in politics

Image
Nothing in human life is worse than having no sovereign state to belong to In the context of politics, orphanhood is a condition in which adverse elements or entities deprive someone of their home polity (can be intentional community, private city, or township) while the subject, called the orphan is still developing. Within general usage, the word orphanhood conveys adversaries concluding people whose direct beneficiaries are still developing. Meanwhile, supermobility is a condition in which the subject, the supermobile , is completely unaffiliated with nonstandard political entities, thus subject only to the sovereign state. Supermobility is the default state upon entry to the human world. Also, as the sovereign state is considered necessary for the basics of modern human life, affiliation evaluations virtually never include such a ubiquitous institution. The beholder's institutional context determines whether someone or something is an orphan or a supermobile. Let's ta...

On the launching of Grokipedia

Image
Grokipedia is intended to compete with Wikipedia; verify Grokipedia articles using Encyclopedia Britannica articles In October 2025, communication and transportation magnate Elon Musk's company xAI masterminded the launch of Grokipedia , an artificial intelligence-powered Internet encyclopedia. Musk distrusts Wikipedia due to the website's ideological bias. Dr. Larry Sanger, Wikipedia 's cofounder-turned-whistleblower, expressed support for Grokipedia . When you search Google for "Grokipedia," there is a message that says, "Did you mean Wikipedia?" This implies that Google senses competition from alternative encyclopedia projects. As it is in its early stages, we must remind you that Grokipedia contains errors and has yet to undergo significant revision and editing. If you are an expert in any field, we encourage you to contribute to Grokipedia and remove content that is suggestive of having been copied from Wikipedia . Unreliability of Wickedped...

Have a little respect for cloud storage

Image
Conserve cloud storage to give chance to less served users and respect the health of the provider company's employees Cloud storage is essentially storing your data on servers around the globe. Convenient it is, you can upload data files to computers located in different countries. The Internet platform company is very protective of the data their users trust to store, so in exchange; the users should have at least a little respect. Cloud storage services have relatively limited amounts of "free" capacity and that's a good thing, as there are billions of people worldwide. Imagine the stress on computer resources that comes with serving billions of users. TeraBox is an exception, as it provides 1 TB free space and grants "premium" access for watching advertising. Cloud storage is meant to complement your computer's local storage. Files that occupy gigabytes or contain highly sensitive information should not be uploaded to cloud storage services. Occupyi...

Childfree Singles Philippines (CSP) is a lifestyle movement for promoting the childfree and single lifestyle in the Philippines. Unlike most other childfree movements, which forward resentment of people who have spouses and children, CSP also intends to promote diplomacy with the childed and the married. In the 21st century, as developed societies fear human population rightsizing, CSP intends to overcome that fear, citing issues arguments such as the world or several parts of it being overpopulated. Still, unlike other childfree movements, which support abortion, CSP opposes abortion using secular arguments. Seal of Childfree Singles Philippines. The pastel green outer circle represents liveliness and positivity. The pastel cyan inner circle represents the advantages, strengths, and victories of the childfree single lifestyle.
