There was absolutely nothing in that article about Roblox usage. It talked about browsing websites.

Honestly, I miss the taxis. The pricing is so predictable and affordable. If you're in a big city it works great to just go to the street and flag one. If you're in a smaller city or town you can still call for one.

Now, with the deregulated ride share companies the price is so unpredictable and so often is unaffordable. You can't negotiate the price as it's take it or leave it and based off of not just supply and demand, but what the company thinks you as an individual might be willing to pay.

And the Republicans know this and many of them have their own presidential ambitions. If Trump is successful in a third term then we are probably in for a permanent Trump dynasty with Baron taking over when Trump dies and then Baron's son taking over and so forth.

While it's true that the heritage foundation is fine with that since it would still just be a puppet regime for them plenty of Republicans are hoping to be that puppet. Trump has made billions being president.

So what you're seeing here is the Republican party trying to undermine and split from Trump in order weaken his position in the party so that they can prevent him from running for a third term.

What's going to make that hard is the Republicans do not have a viable candidate for 2028 besides trump. The candidates they have with a national profile who haven't already retired are all deeply weird and deeply unpopular.

That means it's likely the heritage foundation will push for Trump to run for a third term.

It is possible voters will reject that but they can probably make up the difference with basic voter suppression tactics.

I suspect after the midterms when the Republicans lose the house they will go harder after Trump but it's tough for them to do that because he is still in a position that he can endorse primary challengers against them. That's why you're seeing so many people drop out of politics and then go after trump.

The difference is a human gets ticketed when they do that shit. Self-driving cars are explicitly excluded from traffic enforcement and police are told not to pull them over

Nooo, we need to ban 3D printers

PEEK is commonly used in engines. It's not easy to print, but if you're making parts for engines you can spend the money to do it right.

I know there are a handful of people who are kind of freaked out at the suggestion that we should put a halt to any new technology. But besides that knee jerk reaction is there anyone who genuinely wants to see these data centers built out?

We could just tell the billionaires no. We would have to take their money away because money is power but we could do that. There's about 8,000 of them. There's 8 billion of us.

We could just tell them no.

You mentioned Tesla only, and you talked about "if" everyone had their thumb on the scale, rather than the fact that they do. And you didn't explain why Chinese OEMs should be obliged to enter the market unsubsidized while US OEMs have, by your own admission, received subsidies.

I try to use the library for DVDs, but I'm consistently disappointed in the condition of the discs. They're often dirty or deeply scratched in elventeen places. It's nearly impossible to watch a library DVD without it glitching.

Clearly, people aren't treating the discs with care. Humans suck.

It's true that the VHS tapes at the library were never rewound and were worn out due to the long pausing on the scene where Phoebe Cates undoes her bikini top, but their analog nature meant they never glitched out the entire movie.

It’s crazy! Here in London, UK, there’s a massive jumble of cars, everything from a Citroen Ami (very rare) or Smart car (pretty common) through to superminis (ten-a-penny), saloons and a bunch of SUVs of varying sizes. But the largest we have is something like a Range Rover, and the smallest SUVs are things like my own car, a Mercedes EQA, which is only 4.4m long. Pickup trucks are super-rare.

Yes to all of that!

But instead we have a 100+ comments focused on bullshit about engine reliability which affects a small % of people, as opposed to the costs of poor fuel economy, which affect many more.

Errr no. There are insanely minor hardware accelerations at play here. Virtually all of the translation on the M series is handled by Rosetta 2 - a software emulation layer.

Context matters, ARM gaming is insanely niche, far more niche than Linux gaming providing the context includes recognising that tapping on a touch screen is not "gaming". The reality is if you create a game you want to reach the target audience, that is Windows x86. Many people consider the border of "niche" to be some 15% of market adoption. ARM currently is 0.0fuckall% of the gaming market.

That people still don't realize they have a ruling class.

Your Masters want this and they are going to get it.

One of the old bugaboos with the right wing is the idea that you work the first 3 months of the year for the government.

But we know about half of the money in any given country goes straight to the top . 01%.

Nobody ever talks about the 6 months you spend working to pay for Bill gates's yacht.

Meanwhile my tax dollars paid for healthcare for people who couldn't afford it. I had a neighbor who had a kid that was only alive because my tax dollars and everybody else's paid for a surgery they need it. Pretty minor stuff but they'd be dead without it. Single mom with a $15 an hour job no way she could afford even a routine surgery like that.

The people at the top have class consciousness but us working stiffs do not. Down here in the trenches it's every man for himself.

You realise what this story is about right? The answer is no. The entire premise here is that bullshit gets retracted from publication.

You're an optimist, but in the past 30 years we have developed fuck all. We've only taken existing developments and mildly improved them. Not only have we in 30 years not stopped a catastrophic rise in emissions thanks to our new inventions, several of them (AI, crypto, etc) have contributed massively towards them, wasting energy without any practical benefit to society massively cancelling out any improvement.

At some point you should read those "legacy" models. You may find that many of them aren't even old enough to walk unassisted without mama yet. Not only that, but no model spits out a single number. They spit out a range that is based on different development trajectories, and those (the most optimistic of them) include radical new technological development.

I'm sure fusion power is ready any day now.

Until then let's just focus on the 20+ year promise of carbon capture that is currently producing 0.000fuckall% carbon offsetting. What wonderous technology we have /s

Who said build? Datacentre companies are bitching about not having power made available to them. They don't want to build it. They can in theory put themselves off grid if they were willing to pony up the cash, but it's easier to be the government for a handout and saddle the public with the high cost of power.
