  • SpaceX executives worried Elon Musk was on drugs during 'cringeworthy' all-hands meeting, WSJ reports

    Jump

  • Has there ever been an all-hands meeting where the CEO was not cringeworthy?

    I just assume it's the minimum amount of yearly cringe you have to endure to stay employed.

  • More Realistic Meat Substitute Made From Soy Raised In Brutally Cruel Conditions

  • Of course, but livestock require even more agriculture to maintain than the same caloric/protein intake of plant based. So if the choice is 50 animals or 100 animals then the choice is easy.

  • If the soy beans aren't cannibalizing themselves out of desperation it's not authentic enough

  • Let's say that plants do have some kind of sentience, which is probably very limited due to the evidence we do have. Animals still have more advanced sentience that is closer to our own so it would still be the lesser evil to eat plants. Like why would you eat other people or chimps when there are other options available?

    It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to be able to say that plants suffer the same way as animals. I know you're not saying this, but you do hear stuff like this based on this premise.

  • There's some evidence that he read Atlas Shrugged, which is about a poor executive who "suffers" under increasing government regulation. It's like a bible for CEOs

  • Trump skips Illinois loyalty oath promising not to overthrow government

  • More like Hitler I think. Mussolini offered to crush ongoing communist and anarchist revolts to secure order for the ruling elite and they were happy to give him the power. Hitler got into office democratically by leveraging an economic crisis and then used loopholes and violence to secure a role as dictator.

  • Well, it's winter, so that's like 4pm to start coding

  • GitHub will sunset Subversion support on 8 January 2024

    Jump

  • Wait, so the name was misleading? It should have been GitAndSvnHub

  • 4-year campaign backdoored iPhones using possibly the most advanced exploit ever

    Jump

  • The exploit's sophistication and the feature's obscurity suggest the attackers had advanced technical capabilities

    exploiting a vulnerability in an undocumented hardware feature that few if anyone outside of Apple and chip suppliers such as ARM Holdings knew of.

    according to Russian officials also infected the iPhones of thousands of people working inside diplomatic missions and embassies in Russia

    the devices were infected with full-featured spyware that, among other things, transmitted microphone recordings, photos, geolocation, and other sensitive data to attacker-controlled servers

    Sounds like government espionage

    puts tinfoil hat on

  • How to fix GitHub actions error?

    Jump

  • Not that I know of, but you you can do the tests on a separate branch with garbage commit messages and when you're ready rebase and squash onto main

  • Godot 4.3 FINALLY fixes web builds, no SharedArrayBuffers required!

    Jump

  • itch has support for SharedArrayBuffer. You just need to enable this in the options. I tried this like a year ago and it also worked on mobile

  • Bipartisan bill would prevent millionaires from taking unemployment checks

    Jump

  • notwithstanding "any other provision of law," federal funds would be barred from being paid out "in a year to an individual whose adjusted gross income is equal to or greater than $1,000,000."

    I am surprised that in the USA you can make a million income in a year and still get payed welfare. But then again I really shouldn't be.

  • OpenAI suspends ByteDance’s account after it used GPT to train its own AI model.

    Jump

  • Oh the irony. Just train it on copyrighted material without a license, like OpenAI did.

  • He wrote a techno optimist manifesto that reads like a proto fascist manifesto. In fact, he cites Marinetti as an inspiration, who was founder of the futurist movement, and later author of the fascist manifesto and a close supporter of Mussolini, so no surprise I guess. He enforces ideas that this century is just a bad rerun of the previous.

  • It's a full time job to answer completely, but from what I know he finances escape fantasies for the rich which they call seasteading. He calls it a libertarian ideal to create these new colonial city states, but what he means is liberty for his ilk from taxes, regulation and societal rules. Meanwhile his brainchild Palantir erodes the rights of the poor people who are left behind through surveillance, military technology and ICE funding. But this is all in line with his ideology, because apartheid "works" in South Africa according to Thiel

  • As well as running Cop28 in Dubai, Al Jaber is also the chief executive of the United Arab Emirates’ state oil company, Adnoc, which many observers people with a brain see as a serious conflict of interest.
