Theft of the century is “AI”. They have literally stolen all of modern literature plus published research papers. Anthropic has felt gracious enough to pay $3,000 per book they used in training. Imagine I ransacked your home and then graciously offered to pay you an amount I thought was fair.
How many people have survived having only gone missing for 24 hours, never mind a week!
On that note, I can’t tell if Musk has fired whoever it is that has gotten Space-X as far as it has so far. Maybe the starship project will turn out to be their cybertruck?
Maybe they’re onto something with these illegal immigrants ruining America? Elon has boasted how his brother and himself violated their student visas to work on a tech startup that would eventually become PayPal. I am not a lawyer but that feels like well into felony territory?
It’s a good to keep mentioning when the US does stuff like this as a warning of how quickly a corrupt country can implode.
no need to burn them down, just focus on the chillers. if they use evaporative coolers a water balloon partially filled with oil and soap will fuck that entire system.
also better to cripple then destroy as they get a full insurance payout where just drastically degrading facility performance is harder to prove the monetary value.
This is fascinating. Most of those are indeed elder millennial double spaces after the punctuation but the inconsistency is odd. Also I don’t see them on my computer.
I am not seeing a problem so I suspect its an elder millenial/xennial thing?
Other possibility is I am on piefed, you are lemmy, and the formatting has gotten bjorked between them?
edit: I am curious now, can you send me a screenshot?
They just can’t help themselves. All of these techbro fuckers jumped the gun on this being “THE” AI wave but instead have bet everything on the equivalent of the self checkout kiosk at the grocery store. That was touted as the way to save money, lower the chances of unionism, and make the checkout process more efficient. Instead it has been a money pit that introverts and morally flexible people love! AI slop is flooding Youtube, drowning the tech industry in biblical sized code commits and hallucinated security threats, while continuing to be the greatest theft in the history of our species (after that mother fucker Thog stole my ancestors shiny rock).
Trying to recover my old account but supposedly “TrustMeBroThisIsSuperSecure” is not sufficient. Fucks sake, even I would have trouble just typing that in.
It’s tough find good numbers but this thing (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/natural-gas-consumption-by-country) claims Germany consumes ~78 BCM. 1 BCM is roughly 1 kilometer cubed of natural gas at a set temperature. Last I knew China was supposedly projected to consume ~380 BCM while that website has a much higher figure, but again tough to get good numbers.
I really wish Merkel didn’t go along with shuttering their nuclear energy sector, but what is done is done.
indeed! The open source community should adopt LLM powered mailing list filters. Basically new age version of “protection money” as you pay AI firms to stop other AI firms from drowning your organization.
Joking aside, the dead Internet theory is unfortunately looking pretty accurate.
kinda like an anglerfish in that you are lured into a false sense of security which makes the straight to the jugular scathing responses even more effective.
Giuliani had the NYC emergency management/crisis center relocated to the WTC despite experts warning him that was a bad idea.
I’ve been using some variation of Linux since the mid 90’s but never been able to fully switch over. That said I am on my longest and perhaps permanent switch over with KDE EndevourOS (Arch based). I don’t believe this is what you are hoping for but I do believe it is close so perhaps something to keep an eye on for the future.
I have gotten Teams to run once for a about an hour before it crashed and now I can’t figure out what proton/wine voodoo witch doctor recipe I used.
No idea what luck you will have with RDP or RustDesk.
KDE plasma’s window tiling manager is really damn cool but has no documentation. Still you can do neat stuff with it like having a floating window tile on top of another tile (basically an always on top state but on steroids) with distinct tiling arrangements for each virtual desk space.
Scaling has been good but font support is still at the “almost but still not perfect”. A graphics designer might be in trouble.
Drivers - This is where Arch’s pacman (software package manager) and pkgbuild really shine. If it can compile and is available as a git repo, an rpm, or deb file then there is a good chance you can get it working. That said there are still an unfortunate mountain of unsupported stuff.
Otherwise, with all the improvements to Wine via proton and the other forks, it is getting easier to run a lot more Window’s applications.
Like I said, EndevourOS/Arch with KDE is getting pretty close to being an easy jump from Windows but not 100% perfect.
Even the Nazis, the literal ones from the 30s and 40s, were not as inhumane as we treat our homeless, chronically ill, an disabled.
At least they would outright murder them while here they end up dead behind dumpsters or just outside hospitals. I did a lot of volunteer and community work until I had reached my limit of seeing how fucked up things are at the bottom.
not just democracy but whatever is left of the economy will evaporate.
preemptive response to how invincible the US dollar is, a lot of people said the Titanic was unsinkable.
Unless the CO is compromised, anyone who opts out will likely find themselves constantly “lucking out” and not going on deployments. The USN has some serious idiots in charge of our nuclear subs but they also really know how bad things get with contagions due a couple classified events.
Not too much to research with the blinding lasers needed. Keep in mind I am not any where near an expert but this seems like a sufficient implementation. I am 100% certain someone smarter and or more experienced than me could potentially simplify this further.
A sufficiently high resolution video camera with fast integrated auto focus on a mechanized cradle, a computer with two RTX 4090’s, and of course a class IV (say 100w) laser with dual rotating mirrors should be enough to permanently blind the bulk of a crowd.
I bet there is a free model on hugging face for identifying the pupils for eye tracking and there are facing tracking models to drastically cut down the area for acquiring targets. Really the hardest part could be the camera but if you have enough money, Hollywood has stuff that would work. Other problem would be running the models fast enough to be effective.
Casing could just be a metal box that rotates and has a quartz glass window coated with hydrophobic chemicals.
It’s alright tho cause he’s an old white guy that wears a suit.
