  • Pentagon Admits No Evidence of Planned Iranian First Strike

    Jump

  • MAGA is a cult (and consists of previously existing cults such as Evangelical Christianity). As Trump said, there's nothing he could do to lose their support.

    Many countries are supporting these wars, death, and destruction as well (e.g. France, Germany, U.K., many countries in the region, Israel).

  • A single Dynavap bowl of decent flower will get me feeling buzzed. 4 bowls, I'm glued to the couch for 2-4 hours. I don't use very often though. Sometimes a few times a week, sometimes months without using.

  • The Junior Developer Is Going Extinct

    Jump

  • And offshoring to vibe coders. Saw an article the other day about Indian Amazon devs (well, probably the managers) saying that being forced to use Amazon's in-house models instead of Claude was hampering their productivity.

  • The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

    Jump

  • There are studies that show the tactile nature of books and hand written notes improves retention and encourages more thought, so it would seem likely that going more digital would have negative impacts on education.

    Even that grifter Sam Altman was talking about how he takes notes a while back.

  • What movies are all style and no substance?

    Jump

  • Enter The Void is pretty good.

  • Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AI

    Jump

  • I don't think LLMs will become AGI, but... planes don't fly by flapping their wings. We don't necessarily need to know how animal brains work to achieve AGI, and it doesn't necessarily have to work anything like animal brains. It's quite possible if/when AGI is achieved, it will be completely alien.

  • Germany's Merz calls for real names on the internet

    Jump

  • A Web of Trust/friend-of-a-friend system could somewhat work. Where every person has their own personal trust scores of others, including implied trust by navigating the graph. Global trust scores are susceptible to Sybil attacks, but local ones are more resilient (still susceptible though). Hyphanet seems to have a decent WoT implementation, though the user count is so low, it hasn't really went through a trial by fire yet.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • I've seen them installed in pairs that watch each other. I also see them in the vicinity of store security cams or intersection cams. I don't know of one in my area that isn't in range of another camera.

  • Unlimited Power ⚡

    Jump

  • My grandparents called it that. I guess it comes from a time where lights were the primary consumer of electricity in a household.

  • is it considered rude to limit my upload in qbittorrent?

    Jump

  • I used to. My current router seems to handle QoS gracefully, so I haven't found a need to. For the last year or so, I've been seeding everything until it gets > 2 ratio and there are > 10 seeders, otherwise I just keep seeding. I just looked, and I have one torrent with > 200 ratio, lol.

  • Supreme Court rules that Trump’s sweeping emergency tariffs are illegal | CNN Politics

    Jump

  • At his White House news conference, Trump announced alternative options, including an immediate 10% global tariff.

    Lol, the US is a clown show.

  • Get. Out

    Jump

  • I'm working with people that seem to try to offload a lot of their work to AI, and it's shit, and making the project take longer and shittier. Then they do things like write documents in AI and expect people to read that nonsense, and even use AI to send long, useless Slack messages. In short, it's been detrimental to the project.

  • Get. Out

    Jump

  • I don't buy that. There's little reason to automate those jobs because the labor is so cheap. And as someone who has worked most of those jobs in the past, most of those workers could be easily trained for different jobs; most are actively taking it upon themselves to train to get out of them.

  • but my narrative

    Jump

  • Would be cool. I've tried, and was even able to get an interview with one, but was rejected :( This job market sucks; everyone's getting many more applications than they're able to deal with, and cooperatives are more hesitant to accept new members than regular businesses. I guess I'd have to create a new cooperative if I wanted to work in one, but I'm bad at/hate securing and negotiating contracts.

  • but my narrative

    Jump

  • If you consider the Zapatista's anarchist, they are a federation of autonomous municipalities that do stuff like this (along with hospitals, schools, etc).

  • The AI bubble is NOT going to burst

    Jump

  • I agree that company fundamentals don't matter, and that the goal right now seems to be techno-feudalism.

    Retail is ~40% of the stock market, and retirement is ~20%. I think it will pop whenever the next recession starts. If enough people lose their jobs, and start selling their stocks and dipping into their retirement to pay bills, these stocks will tank. It's my theory that these stocks are held up by all the people passively investing in index funds following the SP500 and NASDAQ. During any small sell-off by active investors, a lot of people's retirement plans will eventually automatically just buy and slowly bring it back up.

    A scare, widely reported by media, could also cause people to take enough notice where a lot of people manually adjust their plans. But, yeah, the media is pretty captured now, and will avoid reporting on stuff that could cause scares.

  • Pentagon prepares for 'sustained' war against Iran as Trump calls for 'regime change'

    Jump

  • I doubt the US would try to occupy or "nation build." I assume they'd just bomb a bunch of people and do some small operations with special forces. The goal is to probably set their nuclear program back significantly, and try to do the same thing they did in Venezuela (cut the head off of government, replace with someone they can control, and literally steal their oil for the oligarchs).
