Post should be hire. People are missing the point they traded out data center cost for human cost.

"Hire" an unfortunately ironic typo!

Isn’t that the soul cooking lady from the Podesta files?

Edit: yup looks like it

The fact this is the top comment shows that HN is healing.

Yeah, not so much. Half a decade ago there would be some interesting commentary on her performance art. Now it’s just Reddit tier meme comments and “it’s dumb and I think anyone that likes her is dumb.”

A video of Abramovic preparing for one event shows her smearing pig blood on walls while writing cryptic instructions, including, “Mix fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk, drink on earthquake nights.”

In one photo, Abramovic holds a bloody, skinned goat head—a symbol associated with Baphomet, a pagan idol tied to Satanism. Another image depicts her standing behind a model posed as a “dead” body, naked with her internal organs spilling out. Abramovic’s hand gestures in these photos are said to align with occult practices.

If that's not demonic, Satanic, and occult, what would you ever call demonic, Satanic, and occult? Does every demonic person need to self-identify as such? Is this a game of "she's not because she says she's not"? Believe people when they tell you what they are.

Pretty strange for sure.

Not clear to me how that has anything to do with my comment. Thanks for the reminder not to engage with bizarre comments, though.

I first learned of her from her Netflix documentary, long before the Spirit Cooking thing, and she came across as a pretentious twit to me. I'll say I did have some respect for her commitment. I'm admittedly someone who doesn't "get" performance art, though.

Her performance art consciously courts controversy, so it wouldn't be fair to the artist to ignore this aspect of her work. Anybody who wants the discussion to avoid the controversies is being dumb and quite frankly doesn't understand art!

What aspect? I doubt any of the shallow dismissals are even vaguely familiar with her work.

Certainly it’s possible to critique her, but I’m not seeing any of that here.

The woman goes out of her way to play on taboos like cannibalism, but you think you're doing her a favor to ignore it? Please.

Again - perfectly fine to critique her methods, attention-seeking, etc., preferably after taking the time to understand why she is doing this.

But I don’t see any of that here. Just mindless “it’s dumb.” Very similar vibes to the angry atheism cultural trends 15 years ago.

Mindless "it's dumb" when she's literally posing with decapitated goat heads, fully aware of their centuries-old symbolism?

My reaction to your response is that your moral compass has the sensitivity of a glass thermometer that fell off the wall.

Do you have an actual point to make?

I don’t personally care for her work, at least the more recent stuff. Her older performances were more interesting. But I’m not evaluating it morally, and I don’t really see how it being “demonic” is equivalent to it being dumb.

Your problem is that you see "demonic" as an aesthetic choice; but Marina and others like her completely believe what they are doing is real and has weight. The people accused of engaging in the occult are frequently offended by those who claim it is merely aesthetic.

ZDR in place at API level but need enterprise contract if on a plan. Vendor lock-in and IP drivers.

Yeah, saw Mericari and had some flashing lights go off.

Most Japanese tech is in - well Japanese - companies like Mericari, Woven and Rakuten are exceptions, hence you get a blog post on how to speak English properly.

Have 2.5 in prod. Hope they release 3 lite soon so it will be easier to swap them. Holding my breath as pro pricing is a non starter.

The scariest party is the uniparty.

Based on what Amazon team you are in more than half are born in India. Makes sense they’d be moving operations there.
