The reason they're pushing for 2027 is they are trying to get it in before Trump leaves office because he is gutting regulatory agencies left and right. So they are hoping to get something up and running before the adults come back in the room.

On the other hand it's entirely possible Trump will get a third term or if he's just too sick for it JD Vance will win the election. There is going to be so much voter suppression going on that if you want to vote blue it is going to be tough.

But I'm sure it's fine. A shitload of multi-billionaires and trillionaires want unlimited electricity right this very second and are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to undermine basic regulations while pushing for rapidly building nuclear reactors in a country with a shortage of high skill construction workers and tens of thousands of multi-million dollar tofu dregs because of it... I'm sure having the guys who can't build a frame square can throw up a nuclear power plant no problem.

I really really hope this country comes to its senses. I'm not looking forward to evacuating my city Fukushima style...

They got a special agreement that anyone who bought it could not sell the shares for the first 120 days. You cannot short a share that you can't trade or buy.

After 120 days SpaceX gets dumped into the NASDAQ index funds by force whether you want to have it or not. This will pump up the value of the stock making shorting it basically impossible until right before the collapse. Unless you have insider information then you will not be able to catch that and deal with it. You will just lose your money.

You need to wake up. All of the systems designed to protect you and to give you even a ghost of a chance in the market have been dismantled and you are in the process of being stripped for parts. Unless something drastic changes you are going to lose all your property.

All you need is some raw milk and colloidal silver and you'll be right as rain! Oh and some roadkill. Don't forget to eat roadkill. /s

I hope you get better I cannot even imagine the bullshit you hear from people if you tell them this IRL...

Patrick Boyle on YouTube covered this but the market for satellite internet is completely tapped out. The high cost of launching satellites isn't going away because physics and that means the bare minimum you can get by charging is going to be about a hundred bucks a month and even that is really cutting it close. There are only so many people on planet Earth that can spare $100 a month for internet and can't just get wired internet which is cheaper and faster and better. Never mind competition from cellular internet.

But what's funny here in a holy shit we are screwed kind of way is SpaceX did such a huge scam IPO and it's going to drain so much cash from everyone's 401ks, 10 trillion dollars is just lying there waiting for the Epstein class to take. So it's no surprise other people are looking at that and getting in on the action. I just saw an article from an economist talking about how the only way to fund the AI expansion is to put their worthless stock into your retirement plan and snag all your money.

People keep telling me that they are just going to pick their own stocks. That's not a retirement plan that's being a day trader. If you have a full-time job and it's not day trader that really isn't practical in the real world. You simply do not have the time to do the research and track the stocks so that you can reliably earn the returns you need to retire off of your investments. That's why index funds were created in the first place. It was a safe place to park your money that was heavily regulated and controlled.

SpaceX broke all those rules and they were allowed to do it because you're not paying attention and NASDAQ looked at all those fat sacks of cash and said we want some of that.

Now the only question is will you die of old age before they get around to taking your property? Because if you're under 65 the answer is no.

But he did so overseas so it doesn't show up in the statistics. It is strange that he the greatest mass murderer of the 21st century though. I guess maybe Henry Kissinger might be in the running.



As for the orange pedophile the effects of his actions don't really kick in until after the midterms because he doesn't want you to know what he did to you. We did take millions of people off their health care so we could squeeze billionaire tax cuts through the reconciliation process and get past the filibuster for those extremely unpopular tax cuts... Oh and your taxes went up assuming you're American which will, I mean honestly with that comment I have questions...

After the midterms suburban and rural hospitals will start closing down because they got huge income cuts from the Medicaid cuts. So death rates will tick up. We also massively deregulated a wide variety of safety protocols and environmental regulations so expect more cancers and more food poisoning.

On the other hand murder rate keeps going down despite the Republicans best efforts so there is that but on the other other hand they do seem like they want to get us into a really really big Vietnam style war and send a few million Young Americans off to die in the Middle East. It's pretty clear Trump was trying to get the country behind invading Iran which would require a absolutely enormous draft. And would result in a lot of dead people.

What I'm getting at here is that you're dealing with complex systems and you put two completely incompetent criminals and grifters in charge of them. The shit is going to hit the fan it's just going to take a little while for it to splatter on you personally.

AI slap generators create code with dubious copyright protections. Open source software relies entirely on copyright to enforce its license agreements so once you start polluting your code it's all downhill from there...

These are people who lost their jobs, spent months sometimes years looking for another one, could not find one, and gave up.

We have 720,000 people who are completely unemployable. Nobody will hire them to do anything except maybe pay them sub minimum wage and abuse them until their bodies break or they run out of money to steal.

That number is going to keep growing on top of the number of full-time working homeless.

In a country with more guns than people sooner or later that's going to be a problem. As automation continues to devour jobs we will eventually hit a tipping point where we can't pay for the services we need to have a even vaguely functional civilization. Police and fire will go first and you'll dial 911 but nobody will come.

A bunch of libertarian numb skulls think this is cool because they think they can just go around shooting people and for a time they are right.

The problem is the horde. Your dipshit libertarian uncle shoots somebody dead because they wandered into their house looking for food. Okay fine whatever. But another guy comes and this one has a baseball bat. So your uncle shoots that guy. The next guy has a machete and the next guy has a gun. He gets a few rounds off but your uncle is a crack shot so again down he goes. Sooner or later two or three of them show up and they have guns and your uncle kills one of them but the other gets a shot off that hits your uncle square in the arm and now he can't hold his rifle.. but damn your uncle is like John wick or some shit he finishes the other guys off. And in comes the next batch of them and this time your uncle has one good arm can't move fast enough and his leg gets taken out. But again your uncle is fucking Superman right so he kills them all. So now with a bum leg and a bum arm the final batch of guys shoots your uncle dead.

That's why you can't let civilization collapse and be okay. Once that happens there's a limitless supply of people who are coming to kill you and you have to kill every single one of them but they only have to kill you once.

But if rationality worked with these numbskulls then they wouldn't be libertarians would they?

Functional unemployment combines people who are underemployed and people who do not make enough money to be functional adults. People in this category who are getting by are either working homeless (we have half a million full-time working homeless) or they are receiving support from friends and family to keep a roof over their heads.

It's become so obvious that the books are cooked I don't think anyone can ignore it anymore and I have seen economists come up with all sorts of fun euphemisms to describe the actual situation.

None of this is sustainable. Here is where all the libertarian twats worried about toaster licenses show up to tell us why it's a good thing that Civilization is collapsing because nobody's going to tell them what to do right?

The average american, about 60%, read as a 6th grade level or the level of a 12-year-old. When you are 12 you get this burning desire to not be told what to do. Some people grow out of it and some people become libertarians or Republicans or some combination thereof.

Like the old joke, There are two novels that can change a bookish kid's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs

Congratulations on waking up from your coma from 1964. A lot's changed.

Vance literally said Nixon wouldn't have if he did Watergate today.

He also complained about how little coverage Biden's health got... To US troops. In full knowledge of the lie.

The current administration is making it hard for Chinese companies to directly sell into the country. It's part of a push to start up a new cold war with China since Russia is a bust. Kinda hard to scare people with an adversary that can't invade a country 1/5th it's size...

So OnePlus is getting pushed out of the market and looking for roundabout ways back in.

This is part and parcel of how America runs it's empire so it's likely the next admin will do the same. It's over of the few nonpartisan things going on right now with the current administration. So OnePlus can't just wait it out.

It's pretty well documented at this point that the SpaceX IPO is just a scam for them to loot our 401ks. You can look up the videos from Patrick Boyle he does explain it in detail.

The question is are you going to do anything about it or you just going to handle your money over to elon?

I see a bunch of people telling me that they're just going to make elections but for the most part you can't. You can I think in some cases take your 401K money and put it in a LLC and then become a day trader but that completely defeats the purpose of a 401k. The whole point of a 401k is you can take a bunch of money you have and put it into safe investments so you don't have to individually pick and choose stocks while making sure that you know which ones are safe. Meanwhile index funds are stuffed full of stocks waiting to explode...

So what are you going to do about it? Because you can't really escape it forever. You can't just keep letting civilization collapse and have everything be hunky-dory unless you've got the kind of cash that lets you pay for a private army. And your little 401K LLC isn't going to buy you a private army

It's the same reason Elon Musk made that stupid fucking tunnel. It's misdirection.

So this lets them guzzle down all your water and electricity so that you have to start rationing both of them while they go to public and tell the public that they have a solution to the problem.

As an added bonus Elon Musk can pretend SpaceX has a magic new customer that doesn't actually exist in order to justify the phony valuation while he extracts all the money from your 401k.

I've used chat GTP a bit and 99% of its responses are pretty obviously coming from old stack overflow posts. The problem is there is a lot less traffic on stack overflow because all the programmers are using chat GTP.

When AI has to rely on the raw documentation for a technology, documentation that is almost always written overseas by people who don't speak whatever language the documentation is written in natively because fuck if a company is going to pay for documentation, the end results are pretty terrible and pretty useless. It's really just summarizing the doc. Occasionally if the documents are a meandering mess it can be useful because it'll pick out the piece of information you want out of hundreds of HTML pages spread across the internet but for the most part worthless.

So it's all the training material gets cut off from AI how are they going to keep it up to date? Is there some trick I don't know about? I don't think you can just pointed it code and have it magically work it's got to have context.
