  • This Little Maneuver's Gonna Cost Us 51 Years

  • I've had a Debian install brick itself on update / restart. As annoying as Windows is, it hasn't done that to me. Nothing is perfect, there are horrible software crimes hiding under every system you could name.

  • AI Companies Are Buying Tons of Old Books Because They're Free of AI Slop

  • According to Wikipedia, while a market for old, low-background steel was real phenomenon for a few decades, that's pretty much over.

    World anthropogenic background radiation ... began to fall in 1963 ... and by 2008 it had decreased to only 0.005 mSv/yr above natural levels.[9] This has made special low-background steel no longer necessary for most radiation-sensitive uses, as new steel now has a low enough radioactive signature.

    So you may consider your friend's estate-sale theory in light of that time-line.

    but it carries some weight

    Did you know about !dadjokes@lemmy.world?

  • Some Mullvad VPN customers tunnel for exit after co-founder donates millions to populist party

    Jump

  • It should be obvious that [founder's] private donation to a political party is not part of [his company's] values or mission

    Riiiiiiiiiight, because it always shakes out like that

  • DOJ’s Reflecting Pool “Vandalism” Case Falls Apart With Pool Draining

    Jump

  • Okay, fair, the technicalities are part of the justice system.

    What I mean is, there will be no opportunity to refute the charges, to recognize, in an official way, that the charges were baseless and corrupt. There will not be even the slimmest possibility that the people who caused him to be charged will face any consequence for their corruption.

  • If this strategy works, it will mean that Hearn escapes his bullshit charges through legal technicalities rather than through anything that looks like a functional justice system.

  • The Trump administration is showing signs it could ban cutting-edge Chinese AI models

    Jump

  • The whole point of corruption is that powerful agents are no longer bound by rules in any way that matters.

    Sure, "ban" those models. The way insider trading is banned. The way sex with minors is banned. The way felons in office are banned. The way taking state secrets home with you is banned.

    That's not going to work, because we broke it on purpose.

  • How do you feel?

    Jump

  • What is the Venn diagram of "People who can't stop arguing in online forums" and "People who have become addicted to obsequious, flattering LLM chats?"

    Is there any overlap? Is it perfect overlap? Is it some boring in-between answer?

  • TIL that target shooting could be causing brain injuries. Scientists are worried about this.

    Jump

  • If the cops in your part of the world are like the ones in mine, its a sure bet they clock way, way more shooting range time than you and your friends do.

  • Donald Trump Says ABC And NBC Should Lose Broadcast Licenses Because They Didn’t Carry His Primetime Address On Election Claims

  • I can smell the Freedom burning all the way over here

  • How hard is it to build orbital data centers, actually?

    Jump

  • Solar panels and infrared heat disposal into space can both work just fine right here on the ground.

  • How hard is it to build orbital data centers, actually?

    Jump

  • Ooh, I've seen this one. The secret is just to build them out of paperclips.

  • George Lucas Goes To The Dark Side, Says AI Is ‘The Future’

    Jump

  • Instead of interviewing a rich, famous, busy person, wouldn't it be easier to ask an AI to pretend to be that person, and interview the AI?

    Or even to ask the AI to just write both parts of the interview itself? Wouldn't that just be helping interviewers get the stories they want to share out into the world?

  • Trump Justice Department Scrambles as Lawyers Flee in Droves

    Jump

  • I'm not going to presume to tell you what she really thinks or really stands for, but my understanding was the whole "this job sucks" thing was a refusal to defend what ICE was doing. That she had been given the thankless task of being the legal point of contact between a justice system she had worked very hard to become a part of and a rogue agency that was making a mockery of justice in every sense.

    Jump

  • Supreme Court justices tell Congress their safety is at risk and more must be spent on security

    Jump

  • I can't help but feel that the sort of person who would be likely to try and harm a member of the Supreme Court is busy at home, furiously masturbating over the Court's recent decisions.

    "Racial profiling, so hot... Oh God, oh God is that the Shadow Docket? Yes, yes!"

  • Behold the future of programming

    Jump

  • The C-suite people got rich by (to be a little reductionist about it) telling other people what to do, and they can't imagine that everyone else wouldn't leap at the chance to do the same.

  • TIL about the "Aroma of Tacoma"

  • The trouble is, the source of the brain worm story was ... him. So if you believe it, you're taking a brain-worm-victim's word on his condition.
