We may never find out what Putin has on Trump. However, I think it is safe to assume that Trump wants what Putin has. Lifetime presidency and the power that goes with it. Anybody who objects goes straight to prison. What is not to like?

And looking at the Republican party of today, I think these people are eager to give it to him. Many in the Republican party have been trained to admire Russia. And that training continues with the likes of Tucker Carlson signing praises of Kremlin leadership, their grocery stores, their whiteness...

If Reagan were to show up today, the Republican party would immediately reject him as a libtard. And Trump would come up with some choice nicknames for him.

> It is unbelievably "woke" and many of the responses to queries that do sneak past its firewall of "we must not offend" are just totally wrong.

What does that mean? How did it not offend you? Or do you mean others? How did it not offend others?

I will agree that Bard's technical capabilities are not very good when compared with others. I mostly use various AI services for software development related topics. All AI tools occasionally hallucinate. But Bard is in a league by itself.

"a final decision has not yet been made about the utilization of the Bitcoins."

I would quickly sell them to the next fool. Its ponzi money. Will fluctuate for a time. But in the end is going to zero. I think at one point, even Elon the genius bought $2b worth of ponzi currency. Sold it at a loss I believe.

> ... Get your ears, mouth, and nose away from your phones cuz that's how accidents happen. I know that's Sooo BOOMER ! but it's true.

Honest questions. You don't use any electronic maps product in the car? Or do you use paper maps while driving? And have you never taken a wrong exit because of a confusing sign?

The comment would be even more useful if you actually stated what you are trying to say, instead of saying the equivalent of, "search the Internet for something".

He would disappear from prison, like Navalny did recently. Or fall out of a window from 1-story building and die from the fall. Or have his prison transport blown to bits. As it is, he will likely win the election from prison and then come out and seek vengeance on his opponents.

He is a fan of Putin himself. Having visited him, as the prime minister, right after Russian invasion of 2022. Everything I know about him, makes me think that he is actually guilty of the crimes he is accused of.

I speak from experience. I have owned GM vehicles in the past and currently own a GM Volt. I also own a Tesla. The interface for the two vehicles couldn't be more different. It is clear that GM's interface for nearly everything was designed by a committee of clueless execs. It is exceptionally painful to use. GM has been making these things or a very very long time. You'd think that they'd fix some of the super obvious shortcomings. But, no. They refuse to put any effort into it.

Also, they love the monthly recurring revenue thing too much. For me to able to remotely lock/unlock the car, I have to pay $15/month. It is free with every Tesla. Sure Tesla is more expensive, but GM can provide basic functions for free if your car is connected to wifi. Nope. And, if I want to update the software in my car, I have to take it to the dealer. Stupid shit.

I distrust all players in this space equally.

So, I am not feeding it information I do not want anyone to know. And when it comes down to it, I have very little information I don't anyone to know. I primarily use AI as a software development assistant. And it is OK with me if they steal all of my code. I don't consider it a secret. What is not OK is that the AI software development tool spits out utter garbage. And that is what Google's AI does. OpenAI is so far ahead of Google that it is not even funny.

I fed some sample code to both tools this morning and asked it to explain to me what the code was trying to do. And the output did nothing to change my impression that Google's AI tools are utter rubbish.

On a side note, if you are a software developer and you are not using AI, you might as well start writing software in assembly. That is what *real* software devs do.

This report had me scratching my head. Our EV ownership has been trouble-free. None of us will ever buy a gas car again. And then I noticed that the report says that Tesla owners don't face the problems they are talking about. Only legacy auto manufacturers trying to build EVs. If you buy one of their EVs, then yes, expect problems. They are very new at it.

The story title is click-baity. It really should say that companies that haven't built EVs before are building unreliable EVs. But, yes, it is not as catchy. And somewhat obvious.

My company is raising prices for our customers. Our essential costs have not gone up. Our server hosting costs have actually gone down in the past couple of years. However, we have hired more people in order to grow the business. We have a captive audience with our customers. In our case, we are hoping that some of our customers chalk up the increases to global inflationary pressures. I imagine we are not alone.

All this talk of inflation allows some businesses to raise prices, even when their underlying costs have not changed or even gone down.

I recently discovered Obsidian. It made me very upset and sad that I did not know about this app sooner.

Evernote and OneNote are hot garbage in comparison.

> Given the same training data and applied algorithms, the computer will -ALWAYS- spit out the same answer. Human intelligence does not.

Are you talking about two identical computers? Same hardware, software & training data and then comparing them to two different humans?

If he pays the asking price, where did the money come from? A long line of fools holding shitcoins. That's where.

There is money to be made in crypto. Your odds of success are much better if you happen to be a confidence man or woman.

> They hope it's enough data that the owners of millions of wallets will realize they are at risk and move their money, but not so much data that criminals can figure out how to pull off ..

In other words, "Your money is at risk. We can tell you a little bit about why. But can't tell you a whole lot. Just know that we are the only ones who can help you secure it. We are trying to get the word out, because we are the good guys with honest intentions."

Anybody else see a problem here?

People are searching for that stuff as opposed to running in the opposite direction at the very mention of such scams?
