They will just throw Rolls Royce some money to muck about with SMRs, before realizing what everyone already knows - they aren't better than traditional reactors, and nuclear in general is the most expensive form of energy we have.

Naturally the taxpayer and consumers will be on the hook for all this.

European standards do also award points for simply having certain safety systems installed. The top 5 star ranking is only available if the car has certain systems and they are enabled by default every time the car is started.

If that was the case then a) why would they go to American influences when the cars aren't even sold there, and b) why aren't the American companies doing it too?

They are just really good cars, and the fact that Americans can't buy them makes for some good rage-bait engagement.

It's not a solution for non-technical people, but can you use Cloudflare Zero Trust or similar for Plex?

I have my own Subsonic music server at home, using Navidrome. I set up Cloudflare Zero Trust so I can access it remotely via the web, with a secure Google login in front of it. You can use other authentication methods, it doesn't have to be Google. Passwords, 2FA, certificates, other providers.

For desktop, any browser works. For mobile I use Symfonium. It's not free, it's a cheap one-time purchase, but it works great with that set-up and means I can stream my music anywhere, without the need for a VPN.

They seem to have bought into the SMR hype, despite nobody having even demonstrated a viable prototype commercial design yet.

They need to be able to see outside, and glass is the most reliable way to facilitate that.

Is reserved for approximately 8,000 people worldwide out of 8 billion. This creates a lot of bizarre situations like the problem you're describing.

So basically we need lots of young people to work and drive the economy forward and generate economic activity in order to support the old people in their old age when they're physically incapable of work.

Basically line must go up. The economy has to grow because if it stops growing the people at the top take it out on us and we enter a permanent depression. It's like how you are running from the dragon hoping he eats The Hobbit. That's our economy.

On the other hand AI is taking jobs needed to make the whole system function. We need people to be working but we also need them to be constantly exchanging the value of their labor again in order to keep the economy driving forward and functional.

As the population of young people drops and there is less economic activity you will also have Ward drop offs in the number of available jobs due to automation. The entire economic system we have built will break down and we do not have any replacement for it.

Meanwhile we still have to take 70% of everything we do and use it to satisfy every single conceivable whim of those 8,000 people because they earned it and because clearly God wants them to have all that money and power or he wouldn't have given them all that money and power.

Also if you take away Elon musk's billions leaving him with only tens of millions then the next step is somebody's going to break into your house and steal your toothbrush in your car and probably fuck your wife. That's just logic.

Basically the systems we put in place are not capable of addressing either of the two problems you're describing and the two problems you're describing are going to put different pressures in different places on the system we live in. And we are not capable of reforming or changing that system because we are a nation of 12-year-olds and 12-year-olds don't like change.

Great opportunity for open source web services. :-)

There's no good reason to use it. Just encode your video for random-access streaming, set up Apache or nginx with a URL that you make sure isn't indexed, require a client cert on the directory if you really want to be careful, port forward to it from a port on your router, set up dynamic DNS, and use a web browser. No arbitrary restrictions, just your content on your terms.

All it's going to take is a subpoena and that's that. Writing reviews can be dangerous because businesses will cheerfully sue you if you write a bad review. Free speech is nice and all but you're still going to spend thousands of dollars depending yourself in court.

Everyone is. The economy is collapsing exactly as anyone with half a brain would have predicted when we put Trump in charge. Which is why Trump is hiding all of the reports showing how bad the economy is.

America is a failed state. When your leadership starts to hide report data that's when you know it's over.

We normally get 8 years of Democrats fixing the disasters caused by republicans. We never fully recover and the voters inevitably blamed the Democrats for that and go back to the Republicans because voters are dumb. But we usually get 8 years of relative stability with a little bit of Republican sabotage after the midterms and we didn't get that this time. Like absolutely everyone who isn't either an idiot or a paid shill predicted it's an absolute disaster.

I think one of the major problems is we have too many retirees who are completely insulated from the economy and who really do not give a fuck about their kids and grandkids. The kind that find Fox News entertaining for reasons that I do not fully comprehend. Like the kind of twerp that voted for brexit in the uk. People that can set fire to the whole world and get away with it. Probably anyway.

If you're under 65 though I don't think you're going to get away with it. The damage is too extreme and too fast. We are so fucked and the worst thing is is I don't think anyone has learned any lessons from this.

The internet is filled with idiots who have lost their livelihoods because of Trump's idiot policies and asserting that they will vote for him again given the chance. I do not know what you do with people like that but I know there are a bunch of them here and they like to keep their mouths shut when they're not in safe spaces.

Show me how your insights have enabled you to create more advanced functionality, and then I'll be interested.

Much of the critique seems irrelevant to AI other than LLMs, such as self-driving cars which map visual input to actions.

He openly attempted to overthrow the US government. He is also a convicted felon and a rapist. Never mind that he is an incredibly incompetent buffoon who is bankrupted every single company he has ever been in charge of without exception.

And all it took for him to get another term with a shitload of propaganda, the news media being owned by billionaires and the Democrats running a man far too old to be running and a woman.

There was also a metric fuck ton of voters suppression. Literally millions of illegal challenges to signatures and voter registrations. Not to mention multi-hour waits to vote. There's a reason that a state like Missouri that is almost 50% black is a red state and it's not conservative family values.

Every single institution designed to protect you from psychopaths and rapists has failed. Or rather it has been systematically dismantled going back to when Barry Goldwater lost.

So yeah Donald Trump is absolutely going to run for a third term if he is physically able and the corrupt supreme Court that struck down Roe v Wade by citing a literal witchfinder general is going to rubber stamp it.

And I don't think the voters who are allowed to vote are going to stop him because about 30% of them think he is the second coming of Christ about another 10% think he is a business genius and about 5% are so confused they don't know what the fuck and then all the Republicans have to do is stop about 6% from voting and Bob's your uncle third term of trump.

All that for a man who has 28 credible rape accusations eight of which involved children.

If we can elect a rapist who bankrupts every company he touches president twice we can do it a third time.

in America. You can chart a direct line from when smartphones and the internet got cheap and widely available and the decline of religious extremist churches in America. Specifically the hyper-political mega churches that were created and built up by billionaires in order to trick people out of their property and jobs.

That's a good example of something like a one laptop per child having a direct tangible effect in a positive direction. Albeit not as a charity case but just as a consequence of cheap electronics. You went from people having a single source of Truth in the form of a corrupt preacher to being able to Google everything the corrupt preacher tells them.

It also means that all the rape and pedophilia the churches have been actively hiding gets around really fast. I suspect social media has a impact there too.

I had two family members with major health problems hit right around 2008 one of which survived the other of which died.

I wasn't fully recovered financially until around 2016 which is when my kid hit College and suddenly I had the pay for them to go through college. Not being a psychopath or a piece of shit I stepped up and actually paid for them to get through college. Because if you're going to have a fucking kid you should make damn sure they can actually support themselves in this fucked up world and have a decent life.

I have only just now recovered from that Financial blow only to have the fucktards that are the American voters put Donald Trump back in charge so that he can promptly collapse the economy.

Trump is likely going to get a third term unless he dies of old age or senality gets him. And the economic fallout from that is probably going to be the end of me.

Basically I've gotten one gut punch after another with just enough to keep me going until the next kicking the balls. Which is the quintessential American experience if you're not a piece of shit baby boomer who pulled the ladder up behind them because they hate queer people and are scared of brown skin.

There is nothing more American than I got mine fuck you. What's funny is is the age 50 to 64 Boomer types who got the tail end of the New deal and Lyndon Johnson's Great society are about to get a huge punch in the balls from their god king Donald Trump.

They are all over the Internet freaking out right now because he's bankrupting them and making them homeless. Every single one of them says the same thing, I voted for Trump three times and I will vote for him again but I don't understand why this great man has destroyed my business or my job or taking my health care away or murdered my kids or whatever horrible thing Trump did this week.

Out of maybe a hundred of them that show up over on the Reddit leopards eating faces for him one or two of them have the presence of mind to say they probably shouldn't have voted for trump. Probably. But fuck it feels good to vote for Trump doesn't it? Stick it to those fucking God damn liberals right? So fucking sick of them telling me what to do right?

This website is full of those fuckers. They keep their mouths shut and try to soak up mod points because they know what they're doing is wrong but they can't stop it because it feels so fucking good and that 12-year-old boy who doesn't like being told what to do kind of way.
