Rioting Pacifist

Insane people doing “lone wolf” attacks is a byproduct of the government’s continued support of a genocide not the protests against that genocide.

it is entirely unsurprising that an “independent” representative of the state, is more friendly to Far-right marches than to liberal/left ones though.

Nobody is making money off CLI timers, regardless of who can use the source code.

Because any webpage you load has total control of the content it serves, including the plaintext of your emails along with the keys you use to decrypt them.

e2e encryption in browser is effectively not e2e in any meaningful sense, this goes for any thing, but Proton are the worst for trying to convince you that they can’t do this.

Software that is targeting people who might need encryption should be honest about it’s own limitations.

Also their “e2e” is only in the browser, which is only e2e if they don’t get a warrant, at which point it’s trivial for them to get your browser to decrypt everything for them.

I wouldn’t mind Proton if:

1. Their fans weren’t so annoying
2. They didn’t market themselves as more secure than they are

Git was started by Linus but he doesn’t run GitHub

compare that to the cost of running the DeepSeek model on comparable hardware (because it is open weight).

What?

You can’t compare the cost of running a model at home to the cost of running a model operationally as a business.

Or at least nobody should take that comparison seriously.

If OpenAI/Anthropic are selling at a loss

Why the If, we know they are running at huge losses.

Honestly this level of poster analysis is why clankers are able to impress people, everyone has just accepted full bullshit all of the time and nobody is willing to admit the unknowns are significant and the numbers we are being presented are largely unverified/unverifiable!

I’d be ok with age verification if it can be done in an anonyomous way

People lost their shit over a local API with an easily fake-able age bracket.

The problem with hyperventilating over everything, is that there is no benefit to even trying to write reasonable laws as they get painted dishonestly anyway.

Sure but comparing what companies in an industry full of losers make, is pretty meaningless as we don’t know how much companies are losing right now.

Firstly governments should stop blocking immigration then.

Secondly billionaires have gotten richer globally and you can only get richer if you are making others poorer wether it’s directly or by printing money.

This doesn’t mean much they could just be losing 50% more money than their competitors.

You can never be sure there is no spyware because if your infected a sufficiently advanced spyware can hide itself.

In theory you can use a liveCD to scan your OS for specious signs but if someone has written bespoke spyware for you it may be hard to detect as it won’t match any of the signatures.

TBH We’ll end up with slop cars because capitalism kills innovation not because of AI.

Popular on twitter != electorally viable.

He got the largest vote and voteshare of any Labour party leader since Blair in 97.

He wasn’t just popular on Twitter.

Starmer lost both votes compared to 2019.

They tried that and he was crushed by the Party aparachiks and press

This is a wealth tax, it taxes stocks.

I think it will barely cover the cuts to, Healthcare & education that Trump made, we should do that if there is leftover funds though.

Management are pushing sysadmins to use AI, yet AI tools permissions models are worse than useless.

California’s Legislative Analyst’s Office found that the proposed wealth tax was likely to increase state tax revenue by tens of billions of dollars over several years. That analysis also found that the measure would decrease income tax revenue by hundreds of millions of dollars or more annually because some billionaires would leave the state.

It’s gambling a potential one-time revenue bump in exchange for massive ongoing losses, which would force cuts to schools and health care

God I fucking hate centerists, Trump’s tax cuts take effect now and will cripple healthcare for years (you can’t just rehire thousands of medical professionals), if fixing this means we need to increase taxes on billionaires by a different measure later that fine.

Also the Math

tens of billions of dollars over several years.

hundreds of millions of dollars or more annually

N x 10^10 > M x 10^8

100 N > M

The one time revenue is 100 times bigger, even if you tweak N & M, your looking at 30ish years before the total revenue is less.

Yeah it’s funny with AI they are deliberately obfuscating what they can actually do to scare people CEOs with FOMO.

Running an ISP is simpler than a powergrid, sewer system or water system.
