  • "I asked the question I intended to ask using the words that I intended to use because they have the meaning that I intend them to have. There's no secret subtext to read into, I am asking this question literally with the words coming out of my actual human mouth" And people will still think I'm fucking sarcastic.

  • I want to eat the cake I bought. I don't want to buy a cake and then have it taken away from me before I'm finished eating it.

    I understand you don't want to deliver cake anymore. That's fine. You need to open the rest of the box so I can get the rest of my cake out. You don't need to deliver anymore to me You just need to not take away the cake I already have.

  • For now you have access to the ability to connect to the internet for multiple places and not have businesses immediately know exactly who you are. That is gradually going to be eliminated until you can be assured that every interaction you have on every website and every service will know exactly who you are at all times.

    Then it becomes a lot harder to investigate this kind of stuff for yourself.

  • Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere

    Jump

  • There's not enough minable copper or lithium to make all of the batteries we will need. So e alternatives will have to emerge if we are to reduce the need for generating power on demand with fuels.

  • Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere

    Jump

  • This CO2 is acting as a reusable fluid in a closed loop. The initial capture of the CO2 costs energy, but the battery keeps using the same CO2 over and over again. So the question of efficiency should be more about land usage and maintenance of the rest of the parts and the labor needed for each megawatt stored vs what other grid scale energy storage costs in materials and labor.

    The rough reality is that batteries aren't going to be up to the task of grid scale energy storage unless they have a couple huge breakthroughs. Something like this is a far less materially expensive way to store energy for later use.

    Currently most grid scale energy storage is just pumping water up a hill and letting it back down through a generator. It is extremely limited in where it can be used and requires tremendous space to be effective.

  • Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job

    Jump

  • This is only a symbolic gesture until we see actual literal results. Those results are already questionable because we know they won't be arresting these criminals.

    I'm not sure what you see this officer having done other than talk about encouraging his officers to do part of their job or risk losing it.

    This isn't actually doing anything. This is barely an announcement of public intent to in the future do something. Every time the police don't do something will be evidence that this was full of shit. If an officer does something as a result of this order it can't even be praised because of what it's taken to force them to do it.

    They aren't actually going to do it though. This is all marketing and public relations nonsense. This is purely performative. If I'm wrong I will be so happy to be wrong.

  • The Number of People Using AI at Work Is Suddenly Falling

    Jump

  • Has anyone ever tried to communicate to open AI support? Their support is basically nothing but chat GPT with a filter on it. I am trying to help somebody set up SSO with Open AI and it's been two weeks of back and forth sharing videos showing screenshots that their AI system completely ignores and asks me if I've tried clearing my cache for the umpteenth time.

    I'm helping a company set it up but they are wholly unprepared for how unreliable and shitty it is. So often I hear people excited about all of the things they can do with it and I worry that they actually believe it works as advertised.

  • I was told I was a bright kid, ignored and only complimented as criticism so I deeply mistust compliments.

  • Swiss government urges people to ditch Microsoft 365 and others due to lack of proper encryption

    Jump

  • In fairness a government should be the only entity surveilling people in its own borders under most any circumstances.

    I'm pretty opposed to most any kind of surveillance outside of warranted due process, and I don't think that any domestic surveillance needs privacy for longer than it takes to do an investigation and prosecution.

    It's when governments are allowed to do things in secret and outside of the law that the whole concept of the law is undermined.

  • Boot lickers and fragile snowflakes like to report videos on topics they don't like.

    Automated systems go with the flow and take down whatever they brigade.

    What's ironic about this particular video is that they delisted it from his page, removed links from the homepage, but still put it in my auto play...

    One way or another I bet they aren't paying him for it. YouTube is such scum.

  • From what I can tell, it looks like there are a lot of loans out right now, the rate at which they are issued has increased since the beginning of the Trump presidency has increased dramatically, and this is like really bad because If those loans don't get paid back then pillars start collapsing underneath the financial system. Lose too many of those and the whole thing comes crashing down.

    This one graph doesn't represent all of the bad that is going on, it's just a sort of a weathervane to tell you which way the wind is blowing. ...and right now it's blowing where the sun don't shine.

  • Democrats ramp up probes into Trump’s $300 million White House ballroom

    Jump

  • This article is old news. It's passing 350 now.

    I wonder if there is any plan to build anything really or if it's just a way of draining money into a hole.

  • Give me money or give me death

  • It doesn't offset our losses, it uses our money to offset the losses of the grifters who bet on Argentina.

    Some of these libertarian types actually believe their own bullshit. Libertarianism is a scam that you play on other people to get them to think less government is better, but if you yourself fall for it then you will inevitably put money in the wrong places and make bad financial decisions.

    The problem now is that the idiots in charge are the same idiots who grew up believing the bullshit. They swallowed the bait. To them they don't really even have the ability to understand why this bet didn't work out, and now thanks to Trump they don't ever have to. Because it did work out.

    Can you imagine if someone bailed out Cuba or Venezuela? We would still be hearing about it to this fucking day.

  • Why the White House is behind a rare Supreme Court push to limit gun ownership

  • Never threaten.

    Even if you have the ability to defend yourself against a bully that is motivated by piss and vinegar, that doesn't mean you want a target on your back or for them to see you coming.

    My guess is that many of the people who are willing to resist kinetically aren't going to say anything or threaten anyone.

    One day, a thug kicks down the wrong door and punches his own ticket. The next day the paranoia grips the jackboots and they start passing gun laws in a hurry.

    Lots of cold dead hands after that and no one is willing to volunteer to be first in line to kick off that process.
