Comment Adaptation (Score -1, Troll) 42

Insect populations will adapt and recover. To think that these changes are permanent is ludicrous and reveals a complete lack of understanding of nature. Life will adapt and fill openings/niches that are available over time. Cool it with the chicken-little stuff. Life will adapt to higher temperatures or wider temperature swings. We're far more at risk from man-made catastrophes than we are from climate change. That fungus China may have been preparing to unleash on US agriculture would do far more damage than climate change for example.

Comment Socialism (Score 1) 56

We have to call this crap out and stop socialism like this before it's too late... requiring companies to offer their product or service to consumers at below cost and then sock it to other consumers to subsidize that is INSANE. The youth don't understand the totalitarian hellscape that will happen if they keep getting their way implementing these socialist programs. Eventually actors in the economy will start giving up and the whole thing will tilt into a death spiral and we'll end up in a Venezuela or something. They're just too stupid to stop themselves and the deep state is not using their control over the narrative to counter this crap any more but actually to amplify it and promote it because they want the totalitarian control. The adults may have to save the children from themselves.

Comment Re:The Trump voters seem to be abandoning slashdot (Score 1) 232

Wow, it's incredible how the deep state neocon crooks have managed to flip the script, coop the Left/Democrat party (after running the conservative/GOP side for decades) and convince so many lefties that they are liberal or have liberal intentions for the future of the USA. They are not liberals, they are aristocratic elitists and eugenicists who care nothing about Party or left/right. They have always been slowing working on removing all of our rights and freedoms and creating a totalitarian system they can use to grind us down to the minimum number of lowly worker bees they need in order to maintain their lifestyle ruling the rest of us. The Trump/MAGA/Doge phenomenon is the first semi-successful attempt to rip those aholes away from the levers of power, the control over the narrative and to cut off their access to the taxpayer's Treasury which as we've seen through DOGE they have been siphoning trillions out of for decades. If you don't see that, you need to go back and read your Chomsky and think more skeptically of any mainstream narrative which are always false.

Comment West Coast Customs (Score 1) 232

I thought this was a security nightmare and would never work until I saw a post from Buzz Patterson and one from @RevSid that debunked the issues. As others have said, Boeing isn't making any more new 747s, so any replacement AF-1 would be a used 747 that they would already be stripping and rebuilding like it was West Coast Customs. So I'm not sure the security concerns really apply. They're going to strip and go over that plane with a fine-toothed comb anyway. The real reasons to accept it are two-fold. One to be gracious and courteous with the Qataris by accepting the offer and two, to knock Boeing down a bit for their incompetence and gouging of the American tax-payer for how they have handled the AF-1 contract over the years.

Comment better than Apple silicon (Score 1) 23

These are the only Intel architecture chips that can compete with Apple Silicon on performance / watt, but Intel is going to cancel them !?! That makes a lot of sense...we wouldn't want to risk the dominance of arm architecture in the future... The big story is actually that Intel was able to create a cpu with an amd64 architecture that can compete on perf/watt with amd architecture cpus. For the longest time we thought that was just not possible because of legacy aspects of the architecture necessary for backward compatibility. Computer architecture folks please educate the rest of us...

Comment Exactly the wrong approach (Score 1) 115

The right approach should be absolutely no use/exposure to AI until at least 16 years old. The kids MUST develop the native capabilities to read, remember, process, write, calculate, etc. without assistance BEFORE they start using the assistance, BECAUSE they will NEVER develop those capabilities if they are given the crutch prior to their development. This is just common sense.

Comment FUD (Score 2, Insightful) 265

This is such a transparent FUD article. "X increased by 35%!" is only significant if the X was significant in scale in the first place, which in this case may very well not have been. US scientists are not fleeing abroad in any significant numbers..get over yourself. We'd see these sky's falling! articles when biological research would be affected by anti-abortion legislation, too. For 100+ years our government has been virtually hijacked by various mercantile interests of different kinds at different times (oil, bankers, railroad/steel, military/weapons/intelligence, pharma, media, etc.). It's high time they got yanked away from the levers of power and their access to and misuse of our taxpayer money cut off. They are kicking and screaming and propagandizing hard to get the plebs/pawns to help them oust the orange usurper. Don't fall for it.

Comment OpenAI is the new tool of the deep state (Score 1) 30

OpenAI is the new tool of the deep state. They allowed it to be privatized and now they are the overloads. Google was their first big one, then Facebook, then Twitter. Now that they lost Twitter to Elon, they are planning to take back the Matrix with AI. First that will be via a new social network, but later as AI gets embedded in everything, the social network won't matter any more. They'll be able to frame and shape reality and nudge everyone's decisions however they like. It's not looking good people... the future is grim under the Western deep state overlords. It's going to be a CCP style totalitarian state in the West. And their goal is to depopulate the planet to 500 million people. It's worse than any dystopian novel/film.
