Doesn’t really matter. Ukraine does not have significant rare earth deposits in the first place. The whole thing is a farce.

Nope, we don’t. This talking point is about a decade out of date. The solutions are all sitting right there without building any new nuclear.

I think a lot of the reports of high bandwidth/cheap rates around Europe are cherry picked. When I looked a nationwide averages, it doesn’t seem particularly better or worse than much of the US. At least, not in the populated areas of the US. Rural access is another issue.

A router is also an open-by-default device, and knows how to handle routing protocols like OSPF. It’s not something you would usually use at home unless you’re into that sort of thing. Things we tend to call a “router” are all-in-one firewall/switch/access points.

Right, and for another thing, it sounds like they’re actually following procedures to get court orders/warrants. Now, business as usual in the United States wasn’t great as it was, but this doesn’t fit how the Trump federal government has been doing things.

It has to function the same. It has to follow the same laws as before.

Bur more likely, they know this and it’s all part of privatizing social security.

Can-Am Spyders don’t roll over easily. You have to put them into reverse while cranking the wheel and pulling the e-brake.

You’re not wrong that the law should change, but there is one thing here. Generally, when we say that 3-wheelers are unstable, we’re talking about one in front/two in back. The opposite configuration, which is what Aptera is using, is generally pretty stable. That one picture of a guy on a recumbent trike is unusual. You almost have to try to do that on purpose.

“ROFL”

Signed, everyone who has been involved in migrating a codebase before.

They won’t, because then it’s legally considered a proper car that has to have air bags and crumple zones and such. They can only make it small and cheap because it’s three wheels.

Raising the standards would result in 20-50% of the worst drivers being forced to do something else. If our infrastructure wasn’t so car-centric, that would be perfectly fine.

Historically, groups that have “communist” in their name have been Soviet mouthpieces. Not all of them, and the ideology doesn’t require it by any means, but it happened a lot. Conversely, if they had “socialist” in their name, they were more likely to want nothing to do with that shit.

It’s nothing of the sort. If nobody had the capital to scale it through more power, then the research would be more focused on making it efficient.

Large power consumption only happens because someone is willing to dump lots of capital into it so they can own it.

If gigantic amounts of capital weren’t available, then the focus would be on improving the models so they don’t need GPU farms running off nuclear reactors plus the sum total of all posts on the Internet ever.

Both AI and social media are a shit show because it’s owned by a few people.

Unironically, the best social media is Fetlife. Not that it’s perfect by any means–not by far–but it is designed to facilitate bringing people together.

The delusional maniacs are going to be surprised when they ask the Super AI “how do we solve global warming?” and the answer is “build lots of solar, wind, and storage, and change infrastructure in cities to support walking, biking, and public transportation”.

It’s not necessarily about changing anything. It’s a matter of safety for those visiting.

Steph Sterlings’ recent video hits it directly. The big publishers see Balatro doing well, so they go copy Balatro. They spend a lot of effort looking for the next Balatro in all the wrong places. Their attempts to copy it will fail, because people who like Balatro will just play Balatro. This will continue until there’s a new indie darling dominating the sales charts, and then they’ll try to copy that.

The industry is deeply misguided.

The article puts the cutoff for “old” as being 6 years or more. Officially, Factorio was released in 2020, but we all know that any other studio would have considered it done years before that.
