Gloria lives in a bubble, and made the mistake of thinking her extremely comfortable, highly secure bubble was the whole world. That's not surprising. Gloria only moves among other bubble people, from one gated bubble pad to the next, in her bubble transport system, where they don't talk about the turbo-fans and ICE V8's that power it all, or the staggering quantity of power it takes to climate control everything in her bubble world.

That's not new. We're ruled by such bubble folk, indulging their bubble concerns, pursing their moral panics, signaling their virtues, and carefully ignoring all else beyond the bubble.

What's new here is this: the consequences of this have reached the privileged students of our prestigious academic system. Suddenly it's not just the hoi polloi on the shit end of the stick. Johnny Winston-Blake IV is also having his future deleted by the bubble people. And he's mad about it.

Only idiots would think that the biggest troll on the world stage wouldn't use a Nazi salute.

You can thank the GOP, aka the Retardican Party, for that. Decades of not letting teachers teach and demanding "teacher-proof curriculums" that kowtow to fake white-supremacist history, young-earth creationism, and other DumbRetardedFuckery.

Hold on, did a journalist make Musk do a seig heil?

A news reporter took over Musk's twitter and called a rescue worker a pedo?

It was totally CNN that forced Musk to mockingly run around with a chainsaw as he was cutting off the livelihoods of countless people!

Wasn't reddit where the glue on pizza came from?

It uses a magic system called ext4. It can store and lookup stuff for a long time.

That's pretty crazy. 100% US Grade A clown-world right there.

I really think Roblox is missing the point.

Sure, age-verification might impede underage use of their product, but there are a lot of adults that understand the age-verification movement to be an invasion of their privacy. Whether or not this is true, "perception is reality".

It's all easy wins. Winning a war is hard. This is just chips, software and data.

The 120kW figure is indeed input power. Thrust is typically quoted in Newtons, not Watts. The input power is useful because it's a proxy for thrust and vastly easier to measure. Ultimately, none of that really matters, however: the real figure of merit for ion engines (all rockets, really) is Specific Impulse. When NASA claims these use 90% less mass for the same total impulse, they're saying it's about one order of magnitude more propellant-efficient than a chemical rocket.

Who cares. This stuff is still in its infancy, and new algorithms and new hardware is going to collapse all of this to commodity level value anyhow. A few years from now you'll buy a GTP-5.x/Mythos equivalent in a box for gaming console money.

If you buy a platform from a company that once infected their customer's PCs with a rootkit, you deserve whatever Sony choses to inflict on you.

Enjoy.

Until Cursor starts enshittifying.

If it is, then given what the administration's actions have borne out time and again, their intention is to put in their own people, so they can get their cut... no matter how much damage it does.

The real problem is that given his rank, he would be in a position to hear things sooner than others further down the food chain. Anyone paying attention to who is doing any betting could have (or should have) asked what they might now that would cause them to place the bet they did. In this case, it boils down to an OPSEC violation, and that's illegal under any circumstance, punishable by UCMJ if not actual civilian law. The fact that the FBI are involved tells me that this guy will probably be facing UCMJ violations too (if he's lucky, court martial if he's not), and may not be a Sergeant Major any longer when the dust settles.
