  • Pivot to AI is similar to web3 is going great. You could also look into Ed Zitron's articles: https://www.wheresyoured.at/ however they are pretty rant-like but do also contain a lot of further links.

  • Members of crypto community starting to regret voting for Donald Trump after Trump family launches 2 meme coins

  • I also don't understand this. Trump is known to be a conman. It was so obvious that he will do this. Was the alternative actually that bad?

  • The leopard that eats faces, has begun eating faces

  • I am concerned about the health of leopards. They have so much to eat in the upcoming days and weeks.

  • I believe so. He at least promises more system breaking in his unique way. I believe he will do what he said on the campaign including implementing project 2025 ideas.

    But the people who voted for him, believe he will improve their situation, even if it means that it will get harder for them in the near term. I believe things won't improve for these people.

  • I think that for many of his voters, the system doesn't work anymore for them. So they want it to change and they only see this change possible with Trump and Vance. Very sad.

    Robert Downey Jr Speaks Out About Elon Musk "Cosplay" Of Tony Stark-The Tech Billionaire

    Jump

  • Out of interest, do you have any sources that what he does is not reliable? This is not some kind of I'm pissed off about your comnent, I'm actually not. Having said that, I see tgis as an opportunity to learn about Harris' shortcomings. Thanks in advance.

  • According to Johnny Harris (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WYQxG4KEzvo) he does go into the details, according to Johnny's sources. I can't stand Elon as well, but I'm no longer sure if he's just an investor.

  • Donald Trump’s racist NYC rally was vile. It was also political suicide

    Jump

  • I think they are voting for him because of the things they believe he is or stands for. Let's assume some people cherish kindness, then these people believe he is kind even if he's obviously not. They want to believe.

    They are analogously not voting for Harris out of what they believe she stands for: destroying their values, installing communism, surrendering to the Soviet Union, all on day one. Because they want to believe.

  • I think this is a good example that free speech is not free consequences. The question is who carries the consequences. My guess is the two girls that may get mobbed at least until they graduate, maybe even longer.

    Btw, I am pro free-speech, I just find it kind of sad that more often than not the consequences of free speech from people like Ted Cruz hit the people he's speaking about.

  • The Washington Post opinion editor approved a Harris endorsement. A week later, Jeff Bezos killed it.

  • You're right. Tge AfD won the most seats in Thuringia. History rhymes. I guess one important factor is cognitive dissonance. I understand that people are unhappy with current politics for multiple reasons and I think some want to believe the propaganda in tge hopes that things will get better but knowing deep in themselves that these demagogues don't promote any policies that will actually help them. At least I hope so.

  • I'm from Germany, which means that we learned an re-iterated the history around the crumbling of Democracy in the Weimar Republic and the rise of the 3rd Reich in school, in several different subjects.

    And now, more than 20 years since I graduated, I still don't understand how people could vote for Hitler with his rhetoric and his hatefulness. I sit here and can't believe that Donald Trump has realistic chances to win, and he will get votes from people who should know better and not only the votes from obvious Nazis. It's depressing.

  • Elon Musk shows off two-seat robotaxi

    Jump

  • As far as I understood, the robot taxis may start production by 2026 or 2027. Shouldn't we live all on Mars by then, according to Musk?

  • Additionally, if AI actually gives us this answer, tge answer we have already now, will we as a global society actualky implement it, because it sounds inconvenient (at least for some) or will we say, hey the AI seems to have made a mistake.

  • Zig vs Rust. Which one is going to be future?

    Jump

  • What are your goals?

    If you want to learn another language just for the fun of it (the best reason) than learn both.

    Of you want to improve your tool set to be able to land a job, then there is no good answer. Probably some other high level language like Python, Java, JavaScript, C#. Etc.

    Also: Zig bay be easier to get started when coming from C, because it is mostly imperative.

    Rust introduces concepts from functional programming. This could be interesting for you, of you don't have any experience in functional programming to get in touch with other programming styles. Or not, of you explicitly don't want to learn such things.

    I use both languages, and I enjoy both. Shameless plug: I've written a blog post ~ 2 years ago what I like about each language: https://zigurust.gitlab.io/blog/posts/three-things/

  • there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites

  • Besides streaming, i.e. the capability to watch the movies and series when you want and how much you want, and lowering the entry to produce videos for more people, they pretty much reinvented cable. Or did I miss something substantial?

  • Another tidbit: Operating systems (like Linux) usually provide a possibility to get entropy (ideally used as seed). Linux for example has /dev/urandom beyond others. Afaik, it uses the time between subsequent accesses to the hdd as one of the sources used to create the entropy.

    Jump

  • A software solution usually can create "random" faster, with the drawback that its not actual random

    The Mersenne Twister was a famous pseudo random number generator when I wrote my diploma thesis in 2009. Today, afaik, PCG (Permuted Congrentual Generator) are better.
