  • Much of it "theory" written by the dictator to describe how Marxism happens to support the idea that he should be in charge of everything. The masses were just too dumb to liberate themselves, you see.

  • I hear there's this one where they have wine and its some guy's blood, and crackers where it's some guy's body. Why is this in our community?

  • UK government trial of Microsoft's M365 Copilot finds no clear productivity boost

  • There's meetings other people need to have and I just need to know broadly what was said. Transcription and summerizing would be great for that

    That is, if I could trust its accuracy. Which I don't.

  • Wait until you hear about the heat problem.

    Young earth creationists claim that radiological dating is off because all that water caused half lifes to go faster. Setting aside the question of how, this would have meant that billions of years worth of radioactive decay happened in the span of a year or so. That's a tremendous amount of heat, and would be enough to turn the Earth into a ball of plasma.

    There's some other things, too, like plate tectonics. To explain away certain other problems, the plates would have to have moved pretty damn fast. Ridiculous amounts of friction building up ridiculous amounts of heat. This would also be enough to turn the Earth into a ball of plasma.

    It may unironically be "checkmake, YECers". Not that they'll go away entirely, but they like having a veneer of scientific plausibility over their terrible ideas instead of relying on supernatural explanations. There's no way out of this one. The numbers here are just too big for anything but "God fixed it" to work.

  • THERE WAS CANDLES AND SMOOTH JAZZ

  • Democratic research finds voters prefer populism over ‘Abundance’

  • Democratic research on messaging has never gone wrong before.

  • Tucker, you need to learn to move on when your love interest won't go out with you.

  • Maybe they have him confused with Chris Tucker. I can see the resemblance.

  • The 2A keeps the government afraid of it's citizens.

  • That's so much a strawman it's not even worth the time I spent to read it.

  • US flight attendants push to be paid when planes aren’t in the air: ‘Most of our passengers have no idea’

    Jump

  • Here's a fun fact. Vasquez Rocks is a common shooting location for Hollywood. Particularly Star Trek; my wife and I make a game of pointing out when they're using Vasquez Rocks for yet another episode.

    The reason it's used so much is that it's an arid environment just outside the "studio zone". If they shoot within the studio zone, people have to pay for their own transportation and meals. If it's outside, the studio pays for all that. Vasquez Rocks is just outside the studio zone.

  • Bunch of lazy freeloaders wanting to get paid for working.

  • What If There’s No AGI?

    Jump

  • If you don't know what CSAIL is, and why one of the most important groups to modern computing is the MIT Model Railroading Club, then you should step back from having an opinion on this.

    Steven Levy's 1984 book "Hackers" is a good starting point.

  • The 2A keeps the government afraid of it's citizens.

  • It helps if a whole section of the political mass, the one that supposedly wants to protect minorities, didn't swear off guns.

  • It means it's only funded for two years, but Congress can keep reauthorizing it when it comes up.

  • What If There’s No AGI?

    Jump

  • Exactly. Quantifying technological growth is incredibly difficult.

  • What If There’s No AGI?

    Jump

  • I see this line of thinking as more useful as a thought experiment than as something we should actually do. Yes, we can theoretically map out a human brain and simulate it in extremely high detail. That's probably both inefficient and unnecessary. What it does do is get us past the idea that it's impossible to make a computer that can think like a human. Without relying on some kind of supernatural soul, there must be some theoretical way we could do this. We just need to know how without simulating individual atoms.

  • They don't think that far ahead. There's also some evidence that what they're actually after is a way to upload their consciousness and achieve a kind of immortality. This pops out in the Behind the Bastards episodes on (IIRC) Curtis Yarvin, and also the Zizians. They're not strictly after financial gain, but they'll burn the rest of us to get there.

    The cult-like aspects of Silicon Valley VC funding is underappreciated.

  • Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade

    Jump

  • Transistors aren't getting cheaper, and the industry doesn't know how to deal with that. They're still in the mindset that Moore's Law has continued and will continue.

    Then some clown convinced a bunch of people that he should be in charge of things, and he thought tariffs were a valid economic tool.

  • YSK that in the State of Arkansas , it's illegal to boycott Israel

    Jump

  • The title is misleading. It bans state contractors from boycotting Israel, so there can be a certain amount of checking up.
