It’s kind of unreal that they took something that worked perfectly well for 25 years and then fucked it up entirely overnight, for no good reason.

Stick in bike spokes meme.

Interesting. Ok, I will give it another go at some point. I had an Oculus Rift and there was a ton of promise but the tech was just not ready.

Yep I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR space and I don’t even like watching movies on them, the loss in resolution and the way the dynamic aspect of it (using a moving screen to simulate a static screen) makes it a shitty solution. Eventually it’ll be good enough to watch TV in but I can’t imagine doing serious work in it.

Money addicts will risk their half trillion dollar fortune trying to save a small fraction of it

Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

Now I hate going back, it’s not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

The state is not improving but they don’t care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

Let me translate this little code.

“Donald Trump has almost made it to where it the owners of this network will actually notice it in the bottom line for their quest to fulfill their endless greed.”

The gap between expected behavior and behavior is narrowing each iteration, plus people are starting to understand the limitations a bit better. The things AI does well you’re talking about are being parceled off as AI Agents for monetization and don’t require additional staff to oversee, they’re turnkey solutions.

The headline here is that AI is costing us jobs but not replacing them. And if you’re concerned that AI is a bubble, imagine what that’ll mean when it blows and these companies start faltering and being purchased. This is all mindless disruption with no foresight.

“Oh dear, my neighbor’s badly neglected oak tree is now bisecting my house. Since it’s not raining, that’s my fault.”

I have friends that talk about getting food delivered nearly daily, plus groceries and whatnot. I am so frugal it makes my asshole pucker to think about delivery fees PLUS them getting your order wrong so often PLUS the food is cold and takes way longer than simply driving there. And then in addition, we actually need the human contact. But I’m not gonna criticize my friends to their faces. Just here.

Bird law is simple and fair in comparison to tree law

Slicing them to vastly multiply their surface area so that more Maillard reaction can occur, and it’s that Maillard reaction that causes the yummy browning, and causes the proteins and starches to change and become potentially harmful/carcinogenic, plus yes the addition of fatty oil that wasn’t present at all.

A lot of us think of “processing” as like, something a food processor does - reducing and changing the form. But it’s also the chemical changes that occur during cooking as a result of the physical processes. When you look at the before/after of a potato and an equal volume of fries, it’s apparent you’ve drastically changed the base food.

Unfortunately that includes a lot of women, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Honestly what do they, as individual career politicians in a now-nakedly-corrupt industry, stand to gain from fixing any of it? Their actions are primariy about advancing their careers because Congress has been broken for years and what else would they do?

The consultant’s credo is, “if you can’t be part of the solution, there’s good money to be made in prolonging the problem.”

Meaning the politician’s credo is now the reverse “There’s good money to be made in prolonging the problem, you won’t be part of the solution.”

So says the other side too

Not because he was a POS to the American People tho, because he said a bunch of shit about his other house members and pissed them off. The only way to actually go to jail is to not play their game.

I don’t care too much when it comes to early adopter tech like this, which everyone knows will be obsoleted and laughable in 1 year. But the biomedical devices - we need a law about this, so people who get sense-restoring tech implanted in their bodies don’t get bricked because the company decides the product isn’t viable to bring to mass market.

The first amendment is an amendment but he ignores that one.
