  • It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word

  • some crypto learned to be efficient, others did not. We still do have crypto-mining botnets. Crypto remains to be useless to humanity and very profitable for few. Same with AI. Same with stock market. Instead of producing something of value we keep on burning through resources while selected few enjoy bonfire others have to fight to stay alive...

  • not only does he burn through cash, he burns through resources making life worse now for everybody: AI rivals crypto in resource waisting while not contributing at all to any improvements. I fail to see "brighter future" for us through AI as it is energy-intensive, unsustainable endeavor for which we are woefully unprepared both materially (energy efficiency, semiconductor manufacturing/recycling, etc) and psychologically (ethics etc.). Yeah, grand on paper, terrible in reality

  • while Israel is clearly wrong bombing and killing civilians, Hamas took first step in escalation of violence in the region setting both sides on trajectory of mutual destruction. I am not defending Israel, but any reporting on the issue has to acknowledge both systemic abuse from Israel side and mass killing campaign unleashed by Hamas.

  • Chappell Roan On Why She Hasn't Endorsed Kamala Harris Or Donald Trump For 2024 Presidential Election: "There's Problems On Both Sides"

    Jump

  • clearly this alludes to vote dilution by "voting small" meaning left vote gets fragmented. The very sad part is - she is right and people SHOULD vote FOR something rather than against, but system is stacked for political duopoly with a slight preference to the right. In other words it not pragmatic to "vote small" under system where small get ignored and society gets polarized to the point of always voting against. What she should be pushing for is a change of a system, otherwise communities she cares for so much are going to remain political hostages of the left because the right found "the other" they can rally against in them. There are only two rational decisions: remain under current system and support whatever big entity is further to the left or stage a revolution/rebellion forcing system change to allow everyone to "vote small". Silence is not working.

  • Trump Has Crossed a Truly Unacceptable Line

  • he's got no lines to cross... he lives on yhe other side of humanity. However lines werr and will be crossed when US public elects him.

  • Martha Stewart Just Quietly Made a Rare Presidential Endorsement

    Jump

  • you do realize how easily it could be spun on the other side, right? "Crooked Marthe supports crooked Kamala. They all are thieves and the stole my 2020!" see? that is what I mean. Right side is Ok ignoring reality if it gets in the way of idolizing POTUS45 but will latch onto any spin "proving" the left is corrupt.

  • endorsement from convicted felon is of questionable value IMO.

  • Ocasio-Cortez Loses the Democratic Socialists’ Endorsement Over Israel

    Jump

  • left wing is so busy ripping itself apart while right has fully consolidated, good luck winning elections. This is practically handing POTUS45 his POTUS47 title. US left wing always picks wrong timing to settle internal scores which is why it's always flatfooted and toothless.

  • @mgdigital, first thing I'be noticed: reliance on "heavier" database stack (pg + redis), at least from the first glance at docker-compose. My suggestion would be to have an option for minimalist setup with sqlite and without redis if possible. That would work better for those of us flying with minimal hardware (rpi, old PC and such).
