Confluence use to be really awesome back around 2012. It's sad how far both have fallen. Atlasian murders everything it touches.

It's a wiki. It's an ultra shitty clone of Confluence. We used it at my last company and it sucked ass. Some people use it for general note taking.

It hasn't really popped yet. It's hitting some corrections, but the pop would be 30% losses. When it does, the world economy will collapse .. and there better not be any fucking bailouts this time! All the big tech companies can rot! People who know how to code with their brains should be the ones in high demands.

The US desperately does need more nuclear power plants. Browns Ferry finally got all three of their reactors online after one was down for decades. But I hate it's because of this data center bullshit. At least that will mean we'll have more, cheaper, cleaner power after the AI bust. These data centers need to stop. They're destroying all the small communities filled with people who intentionally wanted to get away from industrial and city bullshit.

Sadly I'm sure the same massive building campaigns will happen with reactors. This will also suck for rural people who don't want these reactors in their community. I guess the saving grace is that nuclear sites don't have the massive noise pollution that data centers do.

Honestly there is so much room around Comanche Nuclear (it has a massive man made reservoir instead of using river water) they could easily expand it to 4 or 6 units without much issue.

Exactly, Wikipedia is nothing but a political propaganda tool today. I covered this about four years ago:

ad hominem. You literally can't attack the argument and your argument is so poor to being with, that you attack the person rather than the argument.

It's okay. I'm sorry you're retarded. I really am.

Nightmare Eclipse showed us Bitlocker is a joke. It's not remotely real encryption and easily breakable .. on Win11/2025 server, NOT Win 10. This wasn't an exploit. It was a backdoor. Meanwhile Veracrypt needed a public backlash to get their dev signing keys reinstated so people could get their updated kernel drivers on Windows (and remember, TrueCrypt its predecessor mysteriously disappeared in 2012 with the former author telling people to use BitLocker instead!)

Now we have this. The answer should be obvious: there is a concerted effort to remove all real encryption, security and privacy from our software. This isn't incompetency mistaken for malice. This has to be intentional.

There is so much wrong with what you said it's hard to fathom.

> Your problem starts here. Right to privacy is a human right

Show me where in the American constitution where you have a right to privacy? The 4th amendment is against unreasonable search and seizure. It's a hard steep climb from that to privacy as a right. Now that Planned Parenthood v Cassey and Row v Wade have been repealed, it's even a harder sell.

> you cannot lose a human right

Who gives you rights? This entire concept of "human rights" is very recent. The earliest beginnings may have been the Magna Carta in the 1200s, but the entirety of Roman, Sumerian, Arcadian and other civilizations knew no such concept. Roman Citizens had certain legal standings in societies, and that citizenship could be earned, but it's a far cry to say they had a concept of "rights," in the way we've had for only the past few centuries. You can absolutely 100% lose a "human right" anytime you travel outside an area subject to the jurisdiction of a nation you hold allegiance to which has given you those rights.

Rights are bestowed by the State, often fought for by citizens, and are only enforced by collective belief. Is the Freedom of Speech a human right? Because it literally exists no where outside America. Europeans can go to prison for questioning verboten parts of history. British people can go to prison for teaching their dog to raise a paw in a German salute for a comedy bit. New Zealand has a national censor who decides when news content is illegal for people to possess. Only Japan gets even remotely close.

> regardless of what you do. It can be temporarily restricted if another thing has priority, but it cannot be removed

Distinction without a difference. You have no rights in prison. There are two legal forms of slavery in America: The military and prison ... both are voluntary when you really think about it. Your rights are totally removed. You don't get all of them back in most states. Gun ownership and voting are often restricted. Now I think that's wrong and those rights should be restored, but what you may wish for isn't realize. Sex offender lists are another one.

> Hence people like you are into violating human rights and as soon as that starts to be a general sentiment, a state/group/organization is on a very dark path. Yes, you may be able to get some statistic to look better this way. But you have lost something far more valuable.

What strawman directed bullshit. You drew all that out from my limited statement, making deep connections with my philosophy on rights, with made up arguments I never even tried to make? Going back to the original statement, do you not think we should allow these groups to pool together prisoner information using search technology to try to at least get some of them out that can turn around an contribute to society? I don't even know what argument you're making.

I think the idea is identifying people most likely to succeeded and get them out. This makes slightly more sense for LLMs, if you're just talking about reading a lot of public data for people who have no right to privacy anyway due to the harm they caused others.

16% sounds pretty low, but it's probably reasonable. There are a lot of people in prison who can't be let out. I'm sorry, you stab someone, the chance of rehabilitation is very low. If they get 20 years, they need to stay in 20 years. Maybe they'll be too old to hurt anyone then, or the time will make them realize how shit they are. Most often a lot, they'll commit a violent crime again and then won't get out ever. I think of this tragic case of a woman who befriended her mom's killer and was then murdered by him after she helped him get parole:

There is a kind of suicidal empathy in wanting to help everyone on the street or in the prison system. It denies the realize that for over half the people on the street, they have literally fucked over all their friends, all their family members and anyone who could possibly help them. Their friends are now others on the street who have done the same. Some people don't get in the loop. One of my best friends is a court reporter, and despite all the awful stuff she has to record, she also sees people who come into the court room, cleaned up, their lives turned around and coming off probation. So people can turn around their lives, but they have to want it.

I'm just glad this article wasn't about trying to use AI chatbots to directly change behavior of inmates. That would just be straight up AI-psychosis talk.

You need to scan your drivers license to buy medicine for your runny nose. How long before you need to have your government ID on file to buy any video card with 32GB of ram (like the 5090 or an R9700)? That's where this is really heading. Tracking all off-cloud AI usage like it's a weapon.

It will be here next. Stop bitching about someone's sports team (aka party affiliation). Care about individual issues and support or reject arguments individually. The people in charge want you divided. They act like there are divided in Congress. They are not.

Strawman. I never said people weren't for it. We've clearly seen the British are all fucking idiots. It doesn't have to be a "conspiracy." The push for individual digital identification has been out there in the public for years.

I remember getting an e-mail for purchasing Google Glass. They were pretty expensive ($1k or $2k NZDI think?). Glad I didn't get them since they were killed off and were paperweights within a few years. There are some videos of people who have gotten some more life out of them, but all the original apps and services for it are gone.

I hope there's a growth in Invidious usage.

Social media is bad for adults. This has nothing to do with children what so ever. It has to do with pushing for more identity verification to permanent identified each and every person with every single online request they make. It's the telescreen spying on everything you do. Anyone who thinks this has anything to do with protecting youths is not realizing what's really in play here.
