Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: “how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read.”

I don’t know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn’t generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

GODLIKE!!!

Lunokhod is a soviet lunar rover.

I don’t think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don’t think it’s dirt keeping him in check.

It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

If Trump doesn’t respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he’d just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

RC Hobbiests become the most in demand job.

I was going to say “doubt” because I’ve seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You’ll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

Oh I haven’t played that in a while. Looks like a bunch of updates

It’s not a hard problem to solve. It’s not hard to see the reasoning behind a desire for self driving cars. Anyone who lives outside of a big city in the US knows this.

Roads are already present. Traffic control is already present.

Tie the goddamn roads to the goddamn traffic control and have it coordinate the cars. The cars input their destination, and have radar to stop the car to prevent accidental collision.

The problem is people don’t like that they can’t get to their destination faster, they don’t have the freedom of choosing their exact route, and they can’t just rev their engine whenever they want.

It’s not mass transit, but it solves the final distance problem.

I am aware.

350m people have been affected by it in the US. With the ties we have to Europe, it’s already been happening.

The biggest problem is the damage is done.

The party holds the supreme court. House. Senate. Executive. Under the unitary executive theory, the rest of the federal government, while being completely inept, will be party members.

All we can do now, is collectively survive. It’s a death cult. Steps we take to prevent the detainment, torture and death of our neighbors, friends, and family are the biggest fuck you to these people.

I don’t know how we’ll do it. But we don’t do it by joining or tolerating them. We don’t have to make it easy for them.

No, that’s silly. You’ll both be campers at “Liberty Rehabilitation Camp!”

Took longer than I expected.

One day, in the future, the people who live where Russia is now will look back at the history of Russia and say “Ha, wow, what a bunch of stupid inbred alcoholics. Thank goodness Putin forgot to reinstall the window of his last victim.”

No, that is not how the ccTLD is enforced by IANA. It has sole authority, and it is not automatic is any way. There have been a total of two retired domains, one in like 95 and km 2000.

They will not retire a domain under heavy use such as .io.

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

That is most definitely not how it works.

So from my perspective, the ‘submissive lady’ part is really only like a mental pleasure. An independent or powerful woman who herself chooses to submit to you temporarily is like the hottest goddamn thing I can think of.

Otherwise? Yeah, I also want her to feel like she’s in control of what and when she wants things.

It can’t be like total submission over everything. Otherwise it’s meaningless. Like I don’t want to always decide what to do for dinner. I don’t like writing all the checks. I like to cook, and I have specific ways I clean. I’m also not a mental health professional, but I’ll listen.

A woman who can take care of herself and play helpless is my absolute dream. Women who are helpless are a lot of work and it was not worth everything I had to fucking put up with while being told I was absolute shit for not doing enough bleh

Hence my unpopular opinion.

I think it was. People glorified Joker for anarchy, but he wasn’t an anarchist, he was a psychopath having a laugh.

Which is exactly what Joker is in almost all media

I’m not.

It was sort of a joke. I’m not leaving windows for the price.

See below: I started my machine off with an XP Professional 64bit license (I didn’t personally buy) in like 2006?

Because I kept the key for… Oh god 18 years, I always had the windows Pro versions. Windows 7 64 pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro.
