Comment Re:Is military right-to-repair unrealistic? How so (Score 1) 52

"They may customize it with their own communications gear, but they didn't pay for the R&D that went into it. "

Companies build the prior research cost into their current pricing. It isn't as though gov. is not paying for it when they buy off the shelf. They just are not paying for it up front, but they will pay.

Regardless, this brings up a dilemma for the alleged administration. They have two competing impulses. They want to decrease the cost of the care and upkeep of systems so they can spend more on systems and repair them quickly, and they want to preserve the kickbacks from industry into their greedy little hands. I'm guessing the latter impluse will win because industry has populated the regime with their cronies, and money is everything to them.

This is why everyone and their grandmother is all in on AI. It's adoption lags for the sole reason of "people haven't caught up with what it can do, and learned how to let it do it".

I really want you to explain why you know better than the MIT researchers quoted in the summary who determined you are wrong. Most jobs can't be replaced by current LLM, that's what they found. Why do you disagree with it?

Comment Re:What is thinking? (Score 1) 276

ok look. "Thinking" is defined with extreme mathematical rigor. It's not completely defined, but we can definitely rule some things out.

Of course, I don't have time to explain all the math here, so as an example I used the fact that rocks don't think. However, some people like you idiotically tried to argue that rocks do think. You are a moron! Why are you even arguing that??? Get off the internet for a while.

Comment Re:Annoying but actually reasonable (Score 0) 173

When I looked a few years ago, motorists in the Youkay paid 8x as much in motoring taxes as the Youkay government spent on roads. They're a generic tax grab rather than something to pay for roads.

But yeah, it's incredibly unfair that EVs don't pay the tax when they're typically significantly heaver than ICE cars and road damage scales with something like the 3rd or 4th power by weight.

Comment Re:UK arrests 30 people a day for speech (Score 2) 49

There is no group if the members are "diverse". If you try to create a "diverse" group you end up with multiple groups forced together who disagree about what the group is and what it's going to be doing.

Which is largely what you see in the UK, where the different types of "diversity" are creating their own enclaves where they don't have to interact with each other. Except the government takes money from one group and gives it to all the others.

This inevitably leads to breakdown and collapse.
