We all remember, how openclaw agents tend to take names with a crustacean reference, like MJ Rathbun (named after zoologist) taking aim at Scott Shambaugh.

And now a dude called "Krebs" (German word for Cancer) shows up in the scene ...

PS: to the humor impaired: I know who Brian Krebs is ;-)

Spectre offers 55 and 77 inch screens that are dumb panels but have all the bells and whistles of newer panels (hdr, interpolation, etc). The 55in was $200 when I got it, the 77in was stupid dumb, like $450

Got this message for months and could not figure out what it was. Ended up fully power cycling an LG tv and the suspicious traffic went away. Child launched an app and the traffic came back. LG allows backgrounding apps but they get evicted quite easily due to limited resources. Well the app was a 4MB app that used so little resources it never got evicted. Now I see this post and it just furthers the point, do not connect devices to your network you do not trust. In my case I thought I was safe because it was on its own locked down VLAN, but nope. Now they are all going through proxies

You may conflate Russia's block of Telegram service and Starlink's sudden disconnection of Russian users. I would suggest, that the latter rather than the former was the main reason for the success of Ukraine's counter attack.

"Anonymous source(s) reportedâ¦" is how they legally get away with lying. They all do it. Anyone still relying on mass media is fooling themselves. Best to watch the people making the claims say it directly from their mouths. And not snippets or sound bites, the entirety of their speeches, interviews, and statements.

I saw an article talking about how Americans are surprised they are not able to claim the new tax deductions on their recent car purchase because they didnâ(TM)t read the fine print of the big beautiful bill. They simply listened to the talking points and said "bae, if we buy a car we get $10k back" or "yeah all my tips are tax free!!". But if they had read the bill they would have understood the shortcomings. CNN is not going to tell you that. Fox News isnâ(TM)t going to tell you that. Best to go to the source. New media was saying this but even then it's just snippets and likely goes too far the other way.

Gotta go to the source, those that don't will be doomed.

They were not flush, they had a very deep recess for your fingers to grasp the handle which allowed for turbulent air to form

This is what an LLM would want us to believe. Youâ(TM)re not fooling anyone, bot

Does it matter if it's actually conscious? When staring at another person, you have no REAL ideal if that other person is "real" other than how they act, talk and behave. However, if an high-end LLM can "mimic" those things, does it matter if that other person is real or not? their impact on you (positive or negative) would be the same either way. The higher-end LLM's are at that level currently, although speech recognition and text to speech is lagging. People are too used to the "free" ones and think all LLM's are dumb... Honestly, it only matters if you're religious and believe in a soul at that point. Otherwise, why would it matter?

I was in the epicenter of Silicon Valley right when the dotcom bubble started inflating unreasonably. Looking at the level of douche baggery drawing millions from clueless but enthusiastic investors was breath taking. Yes, PEPE is trash, PEPE2 (whatever this is) is likely even worse trash, but neither are worse than some of the things I saw back then, and neither deserved their crazy valuations.

PEPE and these pathetic meme coins were by far not the only tokens created in this time frame: many tokens were created to finance and support otherwise quite reasonable projects, many of which floundered nonetheless (which is typical for startups and does not necessarily imply fraud. BTDT.).

Please tell me, what percentage of Silicon Valley startups survived in this time frame, what percentage of "new media" outfits made it through this time, and which restaurants opened and stayed open. This is really nothing new. This is, how capitalism is supposed to work: present idea, find initial funding, see, whether you can make money with this. Fail early, fail often, find your path to success.

You realize, that most web startups from late 90ies went up in smoke, but you'll agree, that the web is here to stay ....

By the time you shoot at your own people with machine guns, and no, sniper rifles won't kill thousands of people in so few days, the economy is about the least of your concerns. I assume, that the monsters committing these crimes are well fed and have all the water they need, even if Iranian economy shuts down completely.

The situation in Iran has moved from "murderous fascist dictatorship a la Chile" to "completely nuts like Sudan".

TF is a BMV

Yes, libs have their own share of agenda driven "experts", and caused a lot of damage with their drivel. Some of their "experts" got enough traction to cause real damage (inflation thanks to UBI like covid payouts, increased public hostility to strangers thanks to stupid open border policy, downtown districts deteriorating thanks to open hard drug use, women's sport turning into a charade).

Still, the damage caused by the current agenda driven "experts" like "RFK's end vaccinations", "CBP/DHS chase the darkie" and "trump crypto embezzlement fund" seem to be much worse and also insensitive to popular backlash. These new agendas also do little to fix the problems created by left wing "experts".

There are serious considerations to remove all vaccine requirements, which could create changes in liability insurance for vaccine side effects (yes, they exist, but are still a good trade for all the side effects of the actual disease they prevent), and also in insurance coverage of these (sometimes expensive) vaccines. Yes, the discussion about this is ongoing, but it's clearly visible where Kennedy is trying to take this. He is quite open about this.

Could it be, that an empty oil tanker doesn't hold much oil and is therefore not such a big issue?
