The open AI governance model was doomed to fail, however, and structurally had no chance to work. By ignoring human nature and greed, things ended up with the profit side getting backing from a massive for profit company and employees voted with their pocket instead of sticking to some mission statement idealized by the non-profit board.




I mean, many US states/cities already do forfeitures, so applying this to foreign individuals and entities is just… consistent??



My muscle memory causes :wq to be typed without my conscient intervention


I don’t mind upgrading but windows won’t allow me… MacOS looks not bad. Or linux


Agree… Too much screen real estate horizontally, not enough vertically


Depressing that the line workers had to improvise as Boeing production engineers are too few to handle the workload




See, but that dividing line is the issue - that minority figured out how to use the political process for their needs. We can debate whether they got external help or not, but they face no visible opposition and the many different varieties of opposition have no coherent plan to counter that, as each of the opposition have their own particular and absolutist view of how it should be done and can’t agree on a way forward, either.

Basically we are living that Austin Powers gag of the guy who was squashed by the steamroller until November comes


The public and politicians needs to understand that “Christian” in the context of MAGA is just shorthand for “marginalized white non-catholic Americans who mostly lives away from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts” who got screwed by a severe deterioration of living standards as globalization only harmed their livelihoods (although allows them to buy cheap stuff that, in the end, does not make it for the lack of long term life prospects for them and their communities).

America has a way of not caring for communities and livelihoods in the midst of economic changes and the electoral influence of MAGA is the ultimate symptoms of this culturally-ingrained and supported lack of care. And Dems also have no plans or policies for them, so it is a one way ticket to political extremism.


Oh the carousel. Anyway I just wished voters would vote more consciously but even that has been rigged so that people vote to those who appeal to their own fears and anger 😞


America is truly exceptional… Nonagenarian politicians serve as lawmakers of an economy they barely understand, and part of a system of legalized bribery that reinforces their lack of interest in not understanding, while septuagenarian supreme court interpets and applies laws made in the aftermath of the civil war but are free to bend the meaning of laws as their personal political biases allow, and octagenarian presidents wield extreme unchecked power.

In this system, laws against abuse of personal information and exploitation of data will only be written in 2080 or later, after many lives of common people are damaged, until it damages the life of a congressman and then change happens.


The BOJ is counting on low interest to force a devaluation of peoples savings to drive consumption and, given the massive amount of savings, it will take time to burn through that


Which is something I also observed. And even some trucks are electrical.


Not only that… A significant portion of cars in china are already electrical, at least in very large cities.


Unfortunately, that is the same notion shared with other neighboring muslim countries, as well the rest of other countries




rsync with open SSH certificates is secure without prompting for any password at all


Building high quality rail networks requires legal framework to facilitate that given that initial costs are staggering. The US framework simply leaves everything to private initiative and given the multitude of local land regulation and lack of laws to support strategic mobilization at this scale, it is guaranteed the USA will never have a country-wide high speed rail network. There are just too many interests to satisfy in a very diverse legal landscape across cities, counties, and states.



oh look, another of Elon Musk’s weirdly named children


I do wholeheartedly agree that Samsung writes shit software tho, but their customizations for the last seven years stopped frying my phone. (S2 was okay, S3 was such a dumpster fire of a phone caused by Samsung’s deplorable coding)

I have the impression that OS restrictions imposed by Google on latest versions of Android and - perhaps - the move to Kotlin improved it. I have been using a S10+ and had no issues with software. Crappy software can be removed without root using ADB and, in my region, Samsung does not bundle carrier crap (except stupid Facebook stuff that is still present in S10 and even S24 series)


All it did was piss off eight years of customers.

Yes, curved glass serves no function and introduces a vulnerable point, prone for cracking


Samsung finally ditched the stupid curved glass, so Androidland now has nice hardware too



This is why the post and the thread are so funny (assuming people are being intentionally funny)







I thought that valve distributed statically compiled files


That was true in the 60s, but now most south American governments are ostensibly anti-american but need to be in okay terms with america so that they can trade internationally


I see the concept but unfortunately it runs against human nature: humans have an inherent need to follow someone and the emergence of cliques among people result in power struggles for the benefit of their own group.


These mental issues are becoming so prevalent that airlines might need to set up cages in aircraft to prevent physical disruption of flights
