  • What you're talking about is something I've learned a lot more in the last couple years. It came about because I'm trying to consume fewer things that are Made in the USA, as a Canadian.

    But there are many instances of a product Made in Canada by companies that are headquartered in the USA, sometimes with a Canadian subsidiary. I try to look for local alternatives first, then domestic, then international, then American brand but made in Canada, only then if there are no other options and I can't do without I buy the American option.

    One funny one is that the American Playing Card Company bought out a whole bunch of other card brands over the decades, they make cards in the USA, in Brazil and other places. But then Cartamundi, a Belgian company, bought them out and now are the largest playing card supplier. So I'm now confused how American the American Playing Card Company is to determine how strongly I should boycot it.

  • Problem nearly as old as Linux itself:

    My suggestion is to try pulse audio volume control (pavucontrol), you get a pretty decent number of options to look through and troubleshoot, in case it's routing to non-existent display monitor speakers or like a separate headphone jack instead of Lineout, etc.

  • Trump says U.S. will seize Iran’s Kharg Island and other ‘oil infrastructure points’

  • Clearly if the Trump administration wants to do war crimes they do it without announcement, like the water infrastructure in Sirik.

    So this Trump military plan announcement is yet another "in 2 weeks" type of thing.

    • That didn't happen.
    • And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
    • And if it was, that's not a big deal.
    • And if it is, that's not my fault.
    • And if it was, I didn't mean it.
    • And if I did, you deserved it. <-

    We got here on this subject a lot quicker than I expected honestly.

  • America Broke Something When It Gave Trump a Second Chance

  • A Project 2029 cannot be a collection of Democratic Party agenda items. It must articulate a broad new conception of the nation’s political order — one that will guide the way a future Democratic-led government might wield power. Above all, Democrats must have a plan for reconstruction — for building something new on the wreckage of what President Trump, MAGA and the Republican Party have wrought — not restoration of what was.

    The whole article puts eloquent prose to the thoughts in my head (looking from outside the US) as to what the USA needs to recover post-Trump; it's more than striving to going back to normal.

    The issue is that centrist Democratic voices have been kind of developing their vision by committee over any aims to make it cohesive and comprehensive. In my view the plan has to recognize and tackle these three things:

    • Internal complacency within the Democratic party to do good things for people rather than just talk about them
    • Reforming the outdated systems that simply relied on trust that the system wouldn't corrupt itself or overlook corruption.
    • Fixing the destruction caused by the Trump administration, then taking steps to prevent a cult like Congress and a bought-and-paid-for judiciary to surrender the republic to the executive.

    The important thing is you can't grandfather in the corruption while you fix it.

  • Angry devs vow to flee GitHub Copilot as metered billing takes hold

    Jump

  • To clarify, AI companies charging the cost that would make the inference profitable for them, against the operating costs and financing costs on new capital expenditures (new data centres, new compute and new model training*), is more than what most people appear to be willing to pay. That cost is indeed more than just the cost of inference incurred by the AI company.

    *(I'm being generous and including model training as capex for the sake of argument, even if I personally think to continue the hypetrain, continuous model improvements are core to AI companies' operation.)

  • Oops. Now that users are being to made to pay something closer to the true cost of AI inference, no one will like using it anymore. Could this be what ultimately sets off the bubble *collapse?
