The fact that he’ll spend all his time playing golf or whatever will leave ample room for all his appointees to actually govern. It’s not Trump we should be worried about.

Except if it’s free software.

Old guy here. My advice: find something you really like and do that. Doing something you like multiplies by 10 the chance you’ll get good at it. You’ll have to try out a few things, which might give you the impression you are wasting your time; but it’s better to lose 3-4 years finding your way than burning up at 35 because you hate what you do.

The fact that they didn’t even try to hide their ssid (or at least, the report doesn’t say they did) shows how stupid people can be with cybersecurity.

Aaaaand why would CloudFlare want to teach the computers to mimic mouse movements?

Oddly specific

Nobody ever said a democracy is the perfect system, but it’s better than non democratic forms of government.

What do you think would be a good system?

There’s a special place in hell for you

You do realize he’ll get a presidential pardon the minute Trump is reelected don’t you?

They have a conscience, they have empathy, it’s just that they only do for their friends, families or people in their social circles.

Most people act like this. There are people working in terrible conditions in Bangladesh or China to create stuff the western countries buy at Walmart, forever 21, Amazon… Where’s the empathy for them? Where’s the empathy for the guy that lost his job 6 months ago and has been sleeping in a tent since, and only got 75 cents after 2 hours of panhandling?

Individually, we can’t help everyone so we often look the other way. That doesn’t make us psychopaths.

Furthermore, saying rich people have mental illness frames the problem as a psychological one when in reality it is a socio-economic problem that requires a political solution.

And the hell of it is that the ruling class is so far gone in corruption and shallow self-interest - so sincerely deeply mentally ill - that they don’t recognize that ultimately they’re working against their own interests

I come across this sort of comment more and more - the fact that sociopath billionaires extending their influence to the political and judicial system are, in fact, mentally ill.

Believe me, they’re not.

They know very well what they are doing. It’s just that their wealth isolates them from the consequences of it. They don’t care about healthcare, climate change, education, unemployment, because that’s for the 95% to worry about. They are rich enough to don’t give a fuck, and they feel safe doing so.

Yeah every store values client loyalty, but pretending companies (e.g. Walmart for crissakes) want to be loyal to their customers should disqualify you from being called an “industry analyst”.

I think the most interesting thing in this article is the fact that some concepts central to semantics (analogy, connotation) or psychology (bias) kind of emerge naturally in multi layered neural networks of sufficient size. Also that it can sound like different personalities (overconfident, secretive, delusional) if you manipulate the weight or the proximity of features. I’d like to see the same kind of study but for midjourney…

But I’m really fucking tired of hearing about things we’re not trying to do because we’ll probably fail. There’s value in the failure, in the attempt.

Trump was impeached (twice) by democrats who knew it wouldn’t be enough to remove him from office.

Accelerationism is like being on a plane and wishing it crashes when one of the engine fails.

What’s interesting about this device is that it (supposedly) learns how apps work and how people use them, so if you ask it something that requires using an app it could do it.

So while it might be “just an android app”, if it does what’s advertised that would be impressive.

Simply put:

Israel and Russia = bad guys

Palestine and Ukraine = good guys

Well Trump did actively support an insurrection, I don’t know how you can’t see this as a threat to democracy in the US…

“Religion A is less genocidal than Religion B”. This is a supremely futile argument to make.

And millenials will be in 15 years, then genZ in another 15… As generations get older, they tend to shift to the right.
