Those "271 zero days" in Firefox turned into 3 in in the patch-notes and only one was "high" severity. There is a lot of lying in the LLM field.

Well, an LTS kernel only lives so long and that is a problem. Maybe they should so a sort-of extreme LTS that gets security patches for 20 years and then drop all the old drivers from newer kernels.

Yeah what scares me about that is it's clearly automatic bots making those picks on the stock market and it really shouldn't be something that can move stock prices that much. I can see a few idiots running bots maybe even a few of the rich assholes doing it but not enough to take a dying shoe store and bump its stock to 127 million.

That's a sign of a fundamentally unsound system that's going to come crashing down soon.

I wouldn't care but every time it crashes it comes down on my head. The entire system is designed to wreck my finances and anyone's finances when they work for a living and leave the top 10% untouched.

It used to be the top 20% was untouched but that number gets smaller every year. Heck it's possible that only the top four or five percent is going to come out unscathed this time around

Genies are fun and good. The djinn are generally malevolent spirits seeking to take advantage of people's greed and gullibility.

Somebody did some math on one of the mega data centers they want to build in Utah and it's the equivalent of dropping 23 atomic bombs in terms of heat output. It's going to basically destroy the local environment.

There's another case of locals telling the data center no and the billionaire funding it just started building it and told them go fuck yourself I'm in charge here.

And there's another data center that guzzled down 30 million gallons of water without telling anyone and now the community has groundwater shortages and might even have serious structural stability issues that come from taking out too much water too fast.

All of this so that a handful of Epstein class members don't have to pay wages.

Because make no mistake that is what this is about. It's about replacing people with machines so the people at the top don't have to pay those of us at the bottom.

I remember when you could add crypto to the name of your company and your stock would shoot up because bots were buying any stock with a crypto in the name. AI has the same bullshit going on.

It sounds like he's just doing basically like a Google search for a news topic. Using Twitter chat as the source to determine what the highest ranking search result is. To limit the amount of searching he's doing and to get attention he's focusing on news stories discussing AI.

There is absolutely nothing new here he's just trying to use an algorithm to pick up popular news stories and display them on his website. And he is limiting the type of news stories to ones that discuss AI.

It sounds like a big thing until you actually stop and think about it. It's still just a shitty aggregator just an automated shitty aggregator...

It's not going to go anywhere as far as people using it but throwing the words AI here and there might get some clueless investors to give him some money. But man this reeks of desperation

Keep in mind there are dozens of other visa and immigration programs that we all just kind of lump under H1B as people who are getting replaced by cheap foreign labor.

If H1B was the only high skilled worker program then it's only about 60,000 people a year and it wouldn't really have much effect. But it's one of dozens of programs to bring in cheap labor.

The frustrating thing is as I pointed out on another comment without influx of immigrants we're going to go into a massive recession just like Japan did for the exact same reason and it's basically a permanent recession. However when those immigrants come here they take a limited number of slots in our society where someone is allowed to be a functioning adult. So you're basically trading social stability for economic recession.

If our economy did wealth redistribution so that the money generated by those immigrants didn't just line the pockets of a handful of Epstein class members this wouldn't be an issue but well, if wishes were horses beggars would ride.

Assuming our civilization survives the AI apocalypse, and I don't mean kill a robots I mean huge amounts of automation creating massive unemployment and leading to conflict in war, then it's a problem we're going to have to deal with anyway though because the entire planet has plummeting birth rates because we demand women into the workforce and women in the workforce don't crank out babies so it's going to be a problem we have to deal with someday but like I said, right now the solution seems to be to give religious lunatics the launch codes for nukes and let the Epstein class members hide out in there bunkers while we kill each other

Look we all know they're h1bs. GM didn't magically get less work to do in it just because they want to save money. There is a little bit of cutting back but most of that has already happened with the people in the EV division that got shit canned. So if they're firing people they are either shipping the jobs overseas which is tough to do because they've already shipped as many jobs overseas as they can or more likely they've got a batch of fresh work visas to replace Americans with.

But the question becomes what are you, me or anyone else going to do about it? And please don't suggest violence it doesn't work. Violence inevitably devolves into right-wing extremism and right wing extremism only benefits the people who are making these decisions and who have private armies to protect themselves from you. After Luigi they all bought a bunch of security and paid for it with money pulled out of your pocket or by laying you off. The only people you can get to are shitty middle managers who didn't actually make any of the decisions involved and they are just as much on the chopping block as you and me.

The real problem here is so far no matter how many of us lose our jobs it does not change how we vote. We still vote for pro corporate establishment candidates. Sometimes we desperately pick a lunatic because they look like they might not be establishment but when we do that they inevitably turn out to be pro-establishment because of course they do.

There are plenty of good candidates that would fix these problems but when we do elect one we never give them enough political capital and power to do anything. Biden was doing some damn good work up there right up until the midterms when the Republican party took over Congress because voters like to hand Congress to whoever isn't in the White House. As soon as that happened everything ground to a halt.

So again this just brings up the question what are you going to actually do about it? Are you going to change how you vote? Are you going to bring up politics and the changes you've made to your voting patterns at Thanksgiving dinner? Are you going to pay more attention to the media you consume so that you're not consuming obvious propaganda? And if you're already doing all this things are you going to make your family do all those things or are you going to go with the flow because it's fun to be the crazy right wing uncle but it is no fun being the crazy left-wing uncle or the crazy pro worker and pro-union uncle or the crazy pro government regulation uncle.

And make everything even worse while I do believe we are going to have to do a moratorium on immigration that's going to drive the whole economy into a massive recession because we don't have the birth rates necessary to sustain our system without immigration and we don't have the will to change our system to account for that.

I don't really have a solution so apologies if I sound like I'm trolling but I'm just bringing up a bunch of completely intractable problems that are completely unsolvable because of how humans work....

I'm on a Q820 from 17 years ago at home.

Still runs fine, still had more RAM and disc than a number of new laptops which is a bit sad.

I remember the nimbus!

My school had a network of discless machines.

They could also boot into BBC mode with a reasonably good BBCBasic interpreter and RM mode as xxx well.

They were pretty good in their niche, really though the Archi was a fool 32 bit very fast RISC computer that knocked the competition into a cocked hat. Struggled on a bit but then vanquished into the embedded space until a few years ago.

The average new car price in the US is $49k. There are several EVs on the market that come in below that (even including Tesla).

There's other issues (such as lack of home charging at apartments and condos) at play here.

My brother rented one and it absolutely refused to connect to any DC fast charger that he'd tried using. He ended up bringing it back to the rental company and swapping it for an ICE car. Apparently, this is a somewhat common problem with the car.

Some people don't even like changing their own oil, and you just drop an EV conversion as if were as simple as changing the lock screen background on your phone. Anyone who has all the tools, know-how and inclination to take on such a product probably doesn't need the suggestion in the first place.

I think a more realistic answer would be along the lines of "cross your fingers that the Slate Truck isn't vaporware, then buy that."

>>If you bothered to read, they are not blaming the victim, they fixed the problem and just point to where it came from.

They fixed one manifestation of the problem. The real source of the problem is that the AI can't seem to evaluate the status of it's training data; even at the most basic level of fiction vs non-fiction, to say nothing of more subtle differences like plausible vs implausible, joking vs serious, fact vs opinion, etc.

The opposite style of adapter (connecting a NACS charger to a CCS vehicle) works fine, at least in my experience.

It would be good for the US and the world if I were wrong and you were right, but go see what the LLMs predict when you ask them. Gas in some places in some states is already at $7 or higher from time to time, I was really genuinely talking about national average. But you have to feed in all the context: remind it that the Straits were first closed on March 2nd and haven’t really opened up, and then ask it to consider comparable oil shocks.

I’m saying the US is more car dependent now than in the 70s. Roads infrastructure has been developed more fully, and public transit infrastructure has been damaged, looking across the country as a whole. Just take a look at a picture of an American city in the 70s compared to today: massive suburbs, freeways everywhere, giant parking lots, lack of sidewalks, retail pushed out.

SPR = strategic petroleum reserve. The yikes is everywhere.
