I wasn't worried until that moron opened his mouth and stuttered some BS. Now I am questioning everything. That bozo could claim the sun was hot and I would have to check myself.

"History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man"

I like to think the delay is justified by the fact that IF you think in terms of 1800s tech, America is huge and it can take a while for horses to pull a wagon from sea to shining sea.

It's November 1860 and you just won your election to be the new Senator from Oregon. You have two months to get to DC. Can you do it? (Yes, you can do it in a "mere" 3-4 weeks thanks to rail. But before rail? No way two months is enough.)

The first thing will probably be to do something think of the children bullshit to ban local AI instances.

Are you seeing a lot of support for the "people should be forced to use a data center to run AIs, instead of being allowed to do it at home using solar power" position?

What I saw last week, is that "think of the children" means that no one should ever fucking ever let a Republican anywhere within ten feet of a child, rather than it meaning we need to give data centers a monopoly on running AI.

The RAM crisis is it. This is the high-water mark on suppressing competition. It was a clever move, but the consumer market isn't going to tolerate electronic gizmos and video games being expensive forever. As soon as someone decides they want money and opens another RAM factory, the AI companies are in trouble. They have this brief pre-Personal-Computer-Revolution situation going on like 1960s IBM, and the 1970s are coming to fuck their shit up.

Yo dawg, I heard you like DMCA, so I sent you a DMCA notice (Title 17 Section 512) about DMCA-prohibited circumvention (Title 17 Section 1201).

The fact that they make sure to include that repeatedly tells me that the real reason is they have their own AI agent that they want you to use, possibly for an extra fee, definitely trained to not bypass all the dark patterns they use to upsell you shit.

Oh, and there'll be absolutely no problem with giving THAT one all your personal and financial data, because trust us bro, we're the airline, we're famous for being totally not sleazy...

This is eerily similar to the marching soldiers' bridge collapse - Broughton Bridge in 1831, often misattributed to Napoleon but happened after his reign.

Lessons weren't learned 180 years later either, for the Milllennium Suspension Bridge, which I happened to work next to at the time and watched the construction and failure unfold. People tend to walk in sync. When things happen in sync, a resonant pattern emerges. It's true for people crossing bridges. It's true for people synchronising machines to exact clocks and nice rounded-off times as well.

It dances like the whitest guy on the planet, no hips.

That's because EVs are perfect for taxis. Many short distances, never far from a charging point and time inbetween rides where you can recharge in the supermarket parking lot while getting a bite to eat. And in the city, with stop-and-go traffic, EV are much better at handling that than ICEs who hate that. Plus the lower cost-per-km-driven matters even more when it's a profit margin thing.

It happened in classic Who as well. To Tom Baker I believe, though I might be misremembering the "why don't you follow me up these stairs?" scene. Could have been McCoy. Either way - the line was..."Elevate!".

Yes.

Whether I especially want this however, that's a different matter. But for those that do - yes, support efforts have been stepped up recently.

Why?

Seriously, I get you are personally outraged, but that's not a reason. Has he mismanaged funds? Is his strategy failing the company? Is he driving key persons away from NVidia? Has he sold out to competitors?

Which one, exactly?

I was impressed on a different system I had my wallpaper and saved wifi passwords.

Apple makes this so easy. Come on man

I barely got my machine weaned from OneDrive. I'll just backup myself and FSCK M$...again.

The law doesn't explicitly define the term repeat infringer, nor does it say how many piracy accusations it takes before a subscriber can be cut off.

[emphasis mine] Surely they mean convictions, no?

Why would accusations be relevant? I accuse every single member of the Mexican government of having violated the copyright on my work, four times each. They all did it four times. No, I can't prove it, but the accusation stands.
