If you don't measure climate change, Mar-a-Lago isn't under water. Insurance claim denied.

Teachers can't teach real first principle thinking, only rote learning and memorization. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, etc. Our education system was built in the 1950's to produce factory workers. It was already obsolete, now it's really showing how useless it is.

Teachers as they are today obsolete. Let them say whatever they want it is sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I am really not certain what we do with people who are incapable of first principles thinking. They are going to be a huge burden on society.

"Where are my engines Tory?!!"

"One's over in the swamp over there and one's over that-a-way on the beach."


Didn't they blow up a second stage during testing a few weeks ago? Two KABOOMS in such close succession?!!

I'm about 10000 words into the encyclical, and there is a LOT more in it than "it's about AI". The first section was on war and nuclear proliferation, and a call for dialog. Then we get to the importance of vocation and the dignity of work. I haven't even gotten to AI yet.

When did bsd.slashdot.org drop the red header scheme?

I have no idea what your point is at all. Seriously, are you OK? Just to make it clear - I am against governments, I am against governments using any technology to make it easier for government to oppress people and this is one instrument of oppression.

Airbus has a flight laws system. That flight laws system which would have told the pilot they were in a stall failed because of ice accumulation during a thunderstorm.

The pilot didn't know they were in the stall because the otherwise highly redundant system which should have warned him didn't work. Given what he could see, the aircraft was losing altitude, so he firewalled the throttles and pointed the nose up. If you don't know your wings aren't generating lift anymore, this isn't an unreasonable reaction.

The captain re-entered the cockpit seconds before they hit the water and figured it out, but it was too late.

So how can this be allowed if there is so much graft around this technology that is flowing through thousands of hands in the government offices?

Funding Opportunity Number: FM-MHP-26-002
Assistance Listing: 20.245

Executive Summary:
The objective of the HP-ITD program is to advance the
technological capability and promote the deployment of
intelligent transportation system applications for CMV
operations, including CMV, commercial driver, and carrier-
specific information systems and networks, and to
support/maintain CMV information systems and networks to
(i) link Federal motor carrier safety information systems with
State CMV systems; (ii) improve safety and productivity of
CMVs and commercial drivers; (iii) and reduce costs
associated with CMV operations and regulatory
requirements.

Eligible Applicants
1.1 General
The HP-ITD awards are available to States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. FMCSA may award HP-ITD funds to eligible applicants that have an approved program plan as
outlined in the Fixing Americaâ(TM)s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. Individuals and businesses are
not eligible to apply for HP-ITD funding.

This entire thing is premised on the idea that there will be *more* information available to the federal government to work with, not less. They are fully committed to using these ALPR cameras that are everywhere now to track everything all the time and to put every truck driver out of service for any inconsistency in their visual data and thus hand out more fines, more court time, more oppression.

This is just one single program, one example, there are so much more, there is so much money at stake, never mind the actual flock graft itself.

"Cocaine back in coke." - why was it removed in the first place?

Mythos was hype. There are exploit finding/code analysis AI's out there that are not.

I'm just waiting for someone to release one to Hugging Face with the training corpus, weights, model structure, everything fully open source so I can watch the world burn.

In America... we just use a gun. No more bear. Also, you get a free rug. It's what we call a win-win.

Generally though, don't shoot black bears, they're almost never a problem, and they're kind of cool. Just back away if they're aggressive, you're near their cubs. If the bear is Chinese, please capture it humanely, and return Xi Jinping to the Beijing Zoo. I think there is a reward.

If the bear is brown, or worse white, move the selector from BANG to BANG BANG BANG and mag dump it. Brown bears are incredibly aggressive. Polar bears are endangered, but if you see one it's because it's hunting you. It is not going to stop hunting you. Ever. Fly home? Polar bear. Flee to the tropics? Polar bear. Launch on Starship to Elon's secret moon base? Polar bear. They have a certain set of skills, they will find you, and they will kill you.

I want 12+ hours of smoke on that brisket, and I don't care if it's regular or unleaded.

After all, we're all going to die at some point, but life without brisket... isn't worth living.

All this nattering about licensing and we haven't yet had one comment -

Regrading the "Killdozer" guy -

Those two things go hand-in-hand a lot more than I am comfortable with.

I can print to my Bambu printer locally by using LAN only or an SD card, not sure why you think I need their cloud to print at all.

Also https://orca-slicer.com/ is not offline, some kind of a fork of it is offline.
