Was thinking of the Trump assassination attempts. Though it nearly always a rightwing but jobs, even when it is a rightwinger being killed.

I’d say America is market dumping AI. It’s all money put into companies burning through money to try and capture market share.

Next supprise will be he is actually a crazy ringwing nut job who is upset she said something that was not right wing enough!

That seams to be the pattern of attempts on rightwing politicians’ lives.

Commercial closed source loses because of the profit motive to cut corners and make anti-features. Plus little to no independent peer review. Also legacy stuff can’t just be recompiled or ported by anyone, so ABI has to be stable for a long time. Even new stuff, can’t be all compiled to the same one version of every lib, so basically ever program has it’s own version each lib it uses.

Plus they have a big user base locked in, so they have to take whatever they are given. So motivation to be good is low.

Just so many reasons!

Stop letting foreigner interests buy our politicians and media? They don’t have our best interests at heart.

Age verification is really just about identity verification. “Show us your papers” version of the internet.

My head already has:

• LVM - Logical Volume Management
• LLVM - Low Level Virtual Machine

LLM keeps keep corrupted in my mouth by those two.

Agreed. Do all the things!

Completely agree, but I don’t see that as either or. We need both. This is the coolest summer we might have in our life times. I’m genuinely concerned we are getting ready fast enough of what is coming. I mean it could swing the other way if the gold stream stops, or we need to deal with crazy cold, and maybe crazy hot.

We know this is the norm for summer now and only going to get worse. We can’t rebuilt all our buildings for this new climate, but we can retrofit active cooling. We need a nation program of ACs for hospitals and schools. 25 years is a target far to far into the future.

Aircon is an air to air heatpump. Normally they can run in either direction.

That is also because we let the companies get too big. We need to break them up. The market is completely dysfunctional. It is feudalism right now.

There are, but the market is rigged by monopolists. And things like banks increasingly require apps that won’t even run on customer Android ROMs easily.

The regulators are needed here.

Until it was dominant and could abuse that power to squeeze everyone.

I’d argue this is dumping.

Not just Amazon either. A good few of the American monopolies. AI spending is the pattern repeating and it is a dark pattern for everyone.

Might be like the AMD BC-250 discarded from crypto. Hopefully! https://bc250.info/

Have been a while. The American tech monopolies and their awful business practices have been with us decades. Been “too big to fail” and “too big to jail” for a while. Just now it’s in everyone’s faces.

Sounds like an argument for wallets. Digital or with cash.

Only a matter of time. We don’t need to worry about Terminator and Skynet. We need worry about everything going from engineered to automated cargo cult slop. All run on massive datacenters controlled by a few mega corporation that everyone is hopelessly dependent on and can’t imagine working without. The trillionaire owners of these mega corporations are hiding in bunkers waiting on one of coming calamities to happen, or just from us unwashed masses. While they buy governments and media to keep and increases their riches.

This future sucks. Can I try another one?

Edit: slopocalypse is the term

That’s pretty much the UK really. Only you are very rarely able to get close to the 60mph limit at all, let alone safely.

The are more dangerous by statistics. Some random links:

I love these roads and the British countryside, but it is definitely an eyes wide open environment. Certainly can be a shortcut, but often SatNavs without traffic info, use them when they really shouldn’t. You used to often see signs telling people to ignore their SatNavs and not take this road, but it’s less of a thing now as everyone just uses Google Maps. Basically, I want that traffic info as public access for all SatNavs. Not locked away.

I’ve very sympathetic to the developers. It’s a stupidly hard problem to know what speed is likely, at what time of day, on these roads. Far far easier to just have the data of what people are actually doing on these roads. That’s what Google do.

Though if you can detect country road, you could safely assume half the speed advertised.
