It’s enough to wipe out most people’s student loans, and buy a reliable vehicle, then put a down payment on a house. That’s life changing.

Threw rocks at stuff.
Trains, signs, each other,
Peed off of tall stuff.
Ride bikes.
Try to build ramps for the bikes.
Crash the bikes.
Ask your mom for a popsicle cause you have a fat lip now from hitting your face on your bikes handlebars.
Generally dumb things.
Freak out cause the kid s few doors down got his hands on some dry ice.
But the dry ice in bottles.
Run away when that nosy old lady calls the police cause people are “making bombs”
That’s crazy. You can’t do six. It’s seven! SEVEN MINUTE ABS!
It’s a surprisingly good comparison especially when you look at the reactions: frame breaking vs data poisoning.
The problem isn’t progress, the problem is that some of us disagree with the Idea that what’s being touted is actual progress. The things llms are actually good at they’ve being doing for years (language translations) the rest of it is so inexact it can’t be trusted.
I can’t trust any llm generated code because it lies about what it’s doing, so I need to verify everything it generates anyway in which case it’s easier to write it myself. I keep trying it and it looks impressive until it ends up at a way worse version of something I could have already written.
I assume that it’s the same way with everything I’m not an expert in. In which case it’s worse than useless to me, I can’t trust anything it says.
The only thing I can use it for is to tell me things I already know and that basically makes it a toy or a game.
That’s not even getting into the security implications of giving shitty software access to all your sensitive data etc.
Beer Hall Putsch
Alas, I cannot grow hair on the top of my head, so I must grow it on the bottom.
“It’s not an ethnostate! Also, you’re racist if you criticize our ethnostate!”
There’s also this: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/automakers-sharing-driving-data-brokers-102200724.html
Tl;dr: All the connected car stuff is collecting data on you and the data brokers are more than willing to correlate your data and package it all up for insurers, or whoever else wants to buy it.
Welcome to late stage capitalism where the game’s made up and the points don’t matter.
Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
I’ve tried to use “AI” to help me with minor programming tasks, or to start basic projects, it’s really bad. As in, it takes me more effort to fix the garbage it outputs than it would have to write it from scratch. In addition to that, it writes things badly in non-obvious ways. Junior engineers make similar mistakes to each other, because they’re working logically. “AI” makes weird mistakes because it’s not working in the same way a human mind does.
If someone doesn’t know what a fork and a light socket are and can’t otherwise deduce what they are based on context, maybe it makes sense to stick a fork in a light socket.
Once.
Modern nuclear technology is much safer than older stuff, additionally when the older plants are well maintained they are much safer than they’re made out to be.
This is one of those cases where pop culture doesn’t match reality and as a result people who are half informed do more damage to their cause by rejecting the good in pursuit of the great.
Correction: they make money
I’m not sure how quickly I’ll be able to get through this, but thanks for the link, this is really interesting.
Given the history of outside influences on Haiti, I’m not sure how much of this story I buy.
Could be “violent gangs” torching “civil society” for “their own benefit”.
Could be “revolutionaries” torching “an oppressive oligarchy” for “the benefit of working people”.
Both of them would be reported the same way in US, or European newspapers.
I’m just skeptical when I see “violent gangs” taking over public infrastructure and when one of the “first casualties” of a “bloody uprising” is the Prime Minister who is not in fact dead, just forced to resign and flee the country.
Right now I’d settle for shit I like not being wiped from existence to make the line go up slightly more with some convoluted Producers math bullshit.
Gotta be able to boot Nazis. Otherwise it’ll be Nazi bar.
Is Missouri the new Florida?
This is a sad story, but as a former Missourian it’s not super surprising.
There’s anger and distrust that’s festering there. A societal anger, not a personal one. It’s a personification and personalization of national politics.
I can’t describe the relief it is to not live in that environment anymore.
I am incredibly lucky.
“John Brown Gun Club”
I’ve just rejected firmware updates and will continue to do so as long as possible. If it gets to where I can’t do that anymore for some reason I might leverage my professional expertise into remedying the situation more permanently.
What kind of dragon are they?
Are they a chromatic dragon like Bezos or Musk?
Are they a metallic dragon like Swift?
Either way they still smash smallfolk, it’s a question of if it’s purposeful or not.
