I wish everyone had a pet unicorn and their own private rainbow, too.

But... I have to recognize the planet we live on, amongst the animals we call humans.

Let me know when you find a better one.

Genuine question: you don't think there's ever a worthwhile reason to kill another person? Truly?

If only they could have noticed something was up when Melinda Gates resigned from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and filed for divorce from her husband over Epstein ties in 2021.

But that was fairly subtle so it's hard to blame them for not connecting the dots. It would be foolish to accuse them of being complicit in the coverup of heinous crimes.

Sounds like a Conspiracy Theory only People Magazine could come up with.

This set of anomalies is meaningless because no causal link has been proved.

In fact it never makes sense to look into anomalies unless you know what the outcome will be.

Detectives are stupid. Science is stupid.

Trust the Experts and whatever you do don't do your own research. If something is important the government or Fox News will let you know.

Turn on Netflix and zone out if you have spare time.

You ain't one of them "readers", is ya?

The Chinese Wall legal strategy is to have Team A produce a specification and Team B produce an implementation.

If these guys can't show a specification they're screwed.

Claiming there must have been one in abstract Platonic space inside the LLM network black box isn't going to convince a Court.

So do the work of making an actual specification generator. Then write a coder. It's not impossible. You still won't get updates, fixes, support, community, or features added. The guys who just steal ffmpeg won't even bother. The AGPL haters might bite.

Also, he seems quite angry.

When gas hits $10 there may be too much pressure to bring in BYD to stop it. At least atomic energy isn't more sensitive to global price shocks than it needs to be (EPA being the champion of high energy prices).

Automated lights-out factories are a total game changer and basically nobody cares if domestic auto workers lose their jobs due to sales collapse or to automation. It didn't have to be this way but Kissinger sold out Middle America so GM became a sales tactic for GMAC loans. We'd need a time machine to stop the collapse of the US auto industry at this point. Or a total fascist takeover of industry and crippling tariffs (not ruling this out).

Toyota and Datsun used to be shit brands fifty years ago. Now we have Lexus and Infinity. Heck we had those 20 years after they were shit brands.

But Tundra engines are getting famous now for lasting 6000 miles before blowing up, so perhaps the torch is being passed.

Yes, "to bring Jesus back".

They actually believe this. Like, you can spend money to get God to change his calendar.

We don't have to believe it - we only need to understand that they believe it. Red heifers, Gog and Magog, Third Temple, they jump up and down and speak in tongues when you talk about it.

Meanwhile Americans spend 60% of their wages on taxes and regulations and don't complain. They vote for anti-war, anti-spending candidates and get the shaft after elections. $10 gas might actually change things.

>Now how about finding a way to do it with silicon-based rather than lithium-based batteries so that we're not using costly mines to create the batteries?

Why silicon rather than sodium?

Sodium is right under lithium in Group 1.

>> The company also announced plans to begin mass delivery of sodium-ion batteries in the fourth quarter. Sodium-ion technology is seen as a lower-cost alternative that could reduce dependence on lithium, cobalt, and nickel.

"You Insensitive Claude, why haven't you made Thunderbird multi-threaded yet?"

(there appears to be evidence of significant limitations in its understanding of complex code)

> Is it appropriate to cite the old proverb, "Physician, heal thyself" here?

Years before the physician was a fentanyl addict living in a cardboard box on the street you would have been compassionate to do so.

At some point you just can't help people who don't want to be helped.

It's sad because the physician was once a happy baby who gave his mother delight. So much waste of care and resources.

Wherever he was, I'm certain that progressives will insist that:
- this is an alt-right lie
- it may not be a lie but he wasn't there
- ok he was there, but it wasn't relevant
- yeah it might have been relevant but this is all blown out of proportion by the alt-right media
- there are perhaps scores of bodies but they were bad people anyway
- turns out they were innocents but there are way more important things we should be focusing on.

That's pretty much the script, isn't it?

What's ironic is that feeds his megalomania. Extreme-ego types love that their detractors are thinking about them all the time.

"Living rent-free" is the ultimate payoff.

Best to ignore them as much as possible.

Yes, it has that figurative meaning but there's also an ACTUAL meaning to the words, no.

AmiMoJos statement was stupid and I'm explaining how **using an example in the PRECISE context that he/she did, the transfer of wealth to/from government**.

For example if I called you a "routinely sanctimonious cunt", I mean it figuratively, not to anthropomorphize that your actual vagina has feelings of superiority. I would assume your cunt routinely has no emotions, in reality.

"Slashdot reader AmiMoJo commented: "This is perhaps the biggest transfer of wealth in American history."

You mean aside from the $2.66 TRILLION the US (federal) government collects every year from taxpayers?

Instead of 10 activations limit it to n number of sync chains.

Pair the activation authorization to the hash of a chain code or whatever on the Brave activation server.

Reduce the number to 5, that's fine.

A good number of privacy folks have extra devices to run certain apps. You might trust Brave and have them all synced but not some odd banking apps or dating apps or stuff work makes you have.

A decent used phone can be had for $50; keeping all those apps on one device seems nuts.

5 sync chains would effectively be a family license around here. Sounds like a good deal at $60.

Having a license wear out because your phone needed a factory reset or went in for service just doesn't make sense.

"But it's both sad and ironic that those traits may also spell the end of mankind."

Ah, I see from this and other posts that we're entering a new cycle of the "oh no, the world's end is imminent because of: (check all that apply, according to your therapist)
( ) climate change
( ) pollution
( ) overpopulation
( ) COVID (deprecated)
( ) Trump
( ) Illegals
( ) Illegals being prosecuted
( ) Trans people not being allowed to strip in front of kids anymore

This has been a persistent neurosis especially peculiar to the West since what, 990AD? What's old is new again.

In fact, the existence of nuclear weapons has given us 75 years of Great Power peace, something unheard-of in the modern era.
