Should we then apply the same logic to very fallible human drivers?

The entire positive side to bureaucracies and committees and governments is that they have enough people in them to do multiple things at once.

Usually when someone says something like what you said and I quoted above here, they are trying to argue that human drivers shouldn't exist. Maybe this is true, for some particular set of truths, but there's always a number of ways you can look at a situation. For example, I would argue that no one and no computer should be driving in the bulk of situations we are currently driving in, because cars are a terrible mode of transportation in the cities where most people live.

Yes, and also the open driver is worth a shit unlike the closed driver for Windows, which provably is not. So not only do you not have the Nvidia driver shittiness, you don't have the AMD Windows driver shittiness either. If you're not deeply into LLMs then AMD is the obvious choice for a GPU for Linux.

Communism was supposed to be about equality and the people controlling everything in a bottom up manner. But the moment you implement it on a national scale you end up with a small inner circle

Nobody has ever tried to implement "Communism without a small inner circle" at the national level, and WITH it, it isn't Communism. Maybe there is no such thing as Communism, like there is no such thing as a completely free market, but nobody ever made a good faith effort to have everyone be equal at that level. There's always the plan to ride atop the masses.

Comment Black market? (Score 0) 59

Muskrat is openly on russia's side and using spacex to act against Ukraine! He bent the knee back in 2023, I think it was, by ordering Starlink blackouts strategically crafted to prevent Ukraine's communications in their defense from russia. And it's not even a general lack of service or anything he could blame on profitability or whatnot. He targets specific Ukrainian military operations and cuts the communications support for those. The only thing that's "black" about this "market" is the ink on the check that putin wrote.

"They're at least open and blatant with their corruption. It's not hiding and pretending to be something else before the bullshit moment. It's bullshit right up front and center."

Trump views the US as his personal property. To him there is no corruption, he can do as he likes. The Supreme Court agrees, except when it suggests it might not. Congress has been dysfunctional since Gingrich, the destruction of US government has been the Republican plan for decades. To Trump, the US is the family business, it's not socialism or fascism, it's just taking money he's entitled to.

People need to see Trump for who he is. We don't have a functioning government or constitution any longer, only a fight over whether Trump owns everything and whether billionaires and christian extremists who put him in power are satisfied with the scraps.

Submission + - How Long Poop Stays in Your Body Could Impact Your Health, Study Finds (sciencealert.com)

alternative_right writes: According to a 2023 review that brought together data from dozens of studies, distinct differences can be seen between the gut microbiomes of 'speeders' and 'slowpokes'.

Since the human gut microbiome is intrinsically linked to health, this could have implications that have gone unnoticed before now.

In particular, slow transit times and constipation have been linked with metabolic and inflammatory disorders, as well as neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

This is not socialism but fascism. Look it up. And what happens when one of these companies that idiot put U.S. taxpayer money into? The taxpayers will bail it out. And if anyone of these companies cannot compete, it won't matter because the U.S. Government won't let it fail.
