It was "personal liberties and free markets", AKA libertarianism for billionaires. And the editorial pages, not the news coverage. So far.

Yes it was to appease Trump, how much more obvious could that get, the actions took place in February immediately after Trump took office. Right in line with the government suing news organizations and universities, threatening to block corporate mergers for personal favors, threatening broadcast licenses to attack anyone not nice to Mr Trump, restricting media access to what's left of the whitehouse and pentagon.

Dude literally said newspapers don't need broad based opinion coverage, because the internet has enough of that. Like the internet doesn't have enough libertarian tech-bro views.

Departure... from? You now have a split between news coverage like this.
"Medical examiner believes death of man in ICE custody was homicide, recording says"
https://www.washingtonpost.com...

And "personal liberties and free markets" content Bezos jerks off to like this, cause if you want to hear intelligent well reasoned people you can just go to the internet. THIS is what newspapers is for. MERIKA fuck vaxines fuck yah
"How RFK Jr. plans to bankrupt vaccine manufacturers"
https://www.washingtonpost.com...

Which is why you also have things like wapo reporters being raided by the FBI, because they're still not nice enough to Mr. Trump.
"The Post and the First Amendment"
https://www.washingtonpost.com...

So when you say department from, did you really mean entirely wrap lips around Trump's asshole? Because they haven't done that yet, they just got a pinky finger up there for now, because I doubt Bezos really gives a shit about anything. Do whatever it takes to not endanger Blue Origin or AWS government contracts, fuck you got mine, he doesn't give a fuck if you read his paper.

It's like you're arguing about 1080 upscaled vs 4k native or LCD vs OLED or 80" vs 60" but move the sofa closer, saying it's the same, and the technically on paper better hardware is overpriced garbage. Who are you talking to? Nobody that bought a 90" TV with the best refresh rate, the best grey to grey times, the best refresh rate, best black levels, best brightness, no artifacts, expensive as fuck TV bought garbage.

It's better hardware. Did they pay by the inch, by the pixel, by the nit of brightness? No, they paid through the nose for that TV, that's what top of the line costs. Does it make sense for you, no probably not. Me either, 65" 4k with meh black levels and some motion artifacts in the greys is good enough. But I don't go around calling things garbage because while they may be only a little better in most ways and the same in some it costs a lot more and wasn't worth the premium - for me.

The seats example, you didn't get it? That view from ten seats back is NOT 5-10x worse, but it's 5-10x cheaper. You don't pay by the row... Cheap seats is good enough for me. It doesn't make front row overpriced garbage, that's childish and something people tell themselves when they're butthurt something a little bit better costs a whole lot more. Is front row or box seats a niche, it certainly is. Not for me, but not garbage, I'm not resentful they exist out of my reach, or I could reach it I don't want to, etc.

I'm not arguing an AVP is 7x better than a Meta Quest 3, but it is better, and the resolution is insane. A Meta Quest Pro isn't even a better experience than a Quest 3 yet it costs twice as much. You don't want eye and face tracking, FINE, or any of the other ridiculous things a mass market version of AVP won't have, FINE, they're not garbage, a Quest Pro isn't garbage because you can't or don't want to afford it. This is childish man.

You could watch the exact same game from ten seats back for 1/7th as much, but why are you angry about it?

R2-D2 should be in my spellchecker apparently.

I agree, a sweet spot for it would be large, high resolution 2D virtual screen for a PS/xbox/switch if they could nail the latency and throughput requirements. Export some console screenshots and clips to your phone's photo library and open them in the Vision Pro, makes me drool.

Then build up from there with companion features that render alongside the remote display, for example, the controller light bar to start with, could be sent to the headset and rendered in the frame of the window or something like that. Games that use the controller speaker to play found tapes, those could be full blown found footage videos or R2DT holographic videos that render outside the main window. So much untapped potential if they'd collaborate on becoming an enhanced viewing experience for all the things instead of trying to be a software platform first.

What part of the headline is misleading? Where are you confused. The article is about an advanced malware package that is cloud aware and container aware. It shouldn't be surprising, just a reminder that yes your managed kubernetes deployments are also considered targets, duh.

Malware and attack payloads for Linux servers do exist, because they do get infiltrated, and they are definitely targeted. What is even controversial about ANY of that?

... that's why it's called malware. It's bad software. It's the second stage that comes after a system has been compromised .. from any of the things that can lead to a system being compromised. What's the confusion here?

If that were even half true, Grok wouldn't need continual manual adjustments to make Musk happy, would it.

So then the excuses shift to "but, the whole internet and literary word and magazines and media and written content has a liberal conspiracy bias", and grok has no choice but to take it, or a cabal of liberal xai deep state employees are responsible for embarrassing Musk, or you're ultimately forced to deal with the fact that while you're completely free to train Grok on all of the most illiberal speech you can find anywhere, it turns into 4chan and sucks.

That's how we end up with reality having a liberal bias because after you filter out everything you call a progressive framing, or left-leaning tendencies, you're left with just garbage. But don't take my word for it, keep twisting the dials on Grok until it sounds right, LOL.

Why would people stop asking new questions? Either LLMs have answers for everything, or they don't and people will ask questions somewhere else. You can't have it both ways.

SO isn't the last place on the internet to find an audience that might have an answer to a question you can't get answered any other way. If LLMs answer ENOUGH questions where the profitability of running a dedicated Q&A site is impossible, people will ask hard questions on special interest sites, blog comments, GitHub, slack, discord, Reddit, etc. Even the least searchable of those eventually surface in some bro's blog, which is then index by search engines and LLM training data.

All that does is hurt classic search and help LLMs.

This is not hard. What do you do when Google doesn't get you what you need. How does Google get more accurate if everybody just googles stuff.

You go to official documentation pages, to official user community forums, and then to unofficial community sites like SO, github, reddit, slack, discord, etc. Future accuracy will depend on availability of those sources, same problem search engines have today. Something might be provided on an unindexed corporate slack channel, then it migrates to some blog. Because people will not stop self promoting their ability to find stupid things and blog about it.

Centralized Q&A content will eventually migrate from dedicated sites to general purpose ones probably, or to more diverse special interest sites. We've seen this cycle of Q&A sites flaring up and petering out a hundred times already, it's not new. Walk through this with me, you find an obscure Perl problem something new with something old doesn't work. AI doesn't have an answer. Google doesn't have an answers. ZOMFG, stackoverflow is no more! Where do you go next??11! So all of those options for finding a community and posing questions are out there, and the future accuracy of AI and search both depend on access to them. But don't act like you're totally helpless with no place to go.

Hybrids will average 40, 50, 60 whatever mpg, which is great, but a plugin hybrid's larger battery doesn't turn it into an electric car. The combined power of the car is from all motors, and you're not going to like driving an SUV 38 miles on half or a quarter its total power output, whatever the configuration is. If you don't want to waste gas, you just go easy on the throttle and the car will use only the power output you need from any combination of the motors.

I think where a plugin hybrid makes more sense is when you have longer commutes, and lots of constant speed driving. Where you'd put an older standard in overdrive. That's where a regular hybrid will eventually use all its battery up and cycle back and forth between gas + charging the battery and short periods of battery only. A hybrid might drop from 55 to 50, and a plugin hybrid on the same trip might start averaging better 55 to 60+, something like that. Every hybrid is different though, a 400 HP combined, split 50/50 might be OK electric only, but a 200HP combined SUV or a 100ish car ehhh.. no, expect the combined MPG rating +/- depending on how you drive, the MPGe on those is marketing.

Confucius say, bathroom can be cleanest room in house, it still has all your shit

Except there wasn't a coup, and there isn't an occupation. The same party is running the country, and the VP took over. It's like a hostage situation now.

I'm not sure how anybody believes economic cooperation can follow. If the same had happened in Ukraine they'd be fighting for sovereignty under a different leader because kidnapping the Ukrainian president isn't going to coerce the rest of the country into favorable trade terms with Russia or make it cease looking for a defense compact elsewhere, and it's asinine to think so.

The most likely goal is coercing Venezuela into accepting deportees en masse. It's an administration goal and it's a realistic objective you could hope to achieve without actually going through the effort of occupying and taking control of the country.

You have some things really mixed up. China's export restrictions (in response to the earlier tariffs) did that. It was all over Fox News because Trump responded with 100% tariffs and then they both backed down. That's how big a deal access to them is. It's not so much that we want rare earth processing here, it's dirty and doesn't make much money, it's that we don't want it all from China. Rare earth processing investments are a big part of our trade deals with other countries.

They're raw materials used in manufacturing electronics. We need them because we require some stuff to be made here, like for defense or auto components, etc. I'm not sure how jacking the price of the raw materials helps anything, the stuff we pay more for already because we make them here, or the electronics manufacturing you'd actually hope to bring here. Buying cheap TVs and monitors from Korea is a good deal, not Chinese propaganda, you retard.
