I was kind of thinking the same. I mean it is states like FL that are all over pedo material and grok from what I understand is the goto ai for nude images. Personally I use ai for zip, nada. Met with a friend the other day thinking I might be interested in helping them with a project they had started using ai. I'm guessing they wanted me to go in and rewrite the ghoul the ai spit out. It was a hard pass. They had no idea what the ai had written and did not even know the language the ai used, I think python maybe. It was only peanuts per month charges, for now. They may be in for a rude awakening when the prices go up exponentially.

Might be an interesting idea. Plutonium is quite toxic. Maybe the billionaire investors could al handle a sample, pretty. The US even did some experiments on people that were terminal & poor in the mid-40's. micro grams were enough. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Like I said, stuff is quite toxic in addition to be radioactive. Worse than radium.

Not sure if that is true. I doubt many really wealthy use robinhood. The big brokerages take good care of those with money. Very very good care. Nope, this will be robinhood stealing from the poor and giving it to the rich. The new definition of robinhood. I saw the story about this a few days ago and all I could think was those poor schlobs. They are going to get fleeced. And the ToS will protect, you guessed it, the rich. I seriously doubt robinhood will claim the AI is a fiduciary.

I think that it depends on the user. For me, I am usually browsing while waiting for a build. Builds use a great deal of I/O and broadly randomly. So for a user like me, probably not very useful. For most though, I expect they browse and that is what they are doing on the machine, nothing else. Those are the target.

I will say though given the memory footprint of modern browsers, man they need a great great great deal of space if they need a cache in addition to the 10G of memory they often consume. Maybe the RAM price increase may have a benefit after all. Putting browsers on a crash memory diet.

Now that is funny:)

And yet even without the AI, google's waymo was caught driving by stopped school busses letting kids off with the arm extended dozens of times. I don't think they even got fined. They said they fixed it in December, and yet in spring they were caught dozens more times. Great fix. No fine. I haven't heard if they fixed it again. What I have heard is the police are at a loss as to handle any infraction on the self drive cars.

US is indeed a bizarre inexplicable land now. CNBC just reported a judge having sex in chambers within ear shot of law clerks during work hours with a high ranking law enforcement officer that could easily have had cases presented to the judge got, you guessed it, nothing. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/2... We have really become bat shit crazy in this country. MAGA=insane whackjob.

You could almost argue the stock market is not gambling. If you buy one of the major indexes, over a long enough period of time, you'll win. Even the crash of 08 had you bought at the peak, and held until now, you'd be doing well. Contrast that with say "let it ride" in Vegas. How long until you are busted? I expect polymarket is worse than Vegas as the "house" advantage is giant with insiders everywhere. Unless you are the insider of course.

I thought I saw an interview with one of his team mates, who may have gotten shown the door, that suspected lance doped. Maybe my recollection is bad. The name in the article you referenced just does not ring a bell, so I think it was a different team mate. And I am fairly sure he was fired, because again as I recall the interview was passed off by many as sour grapes because the guy was cut from the team. The interview was way before the indictments and lance admitted being a doper.

I imagine like any good criminal org, you don't begin with, we dope here, you good with that? I imagine there is a period where the doping team is feeling out new recruits and determining their attitudes toward doping. If they sense you are going to rat them out, they cut you.

Finally the year of the linux desktop. But seriously stupid to do the age check. Last I checked my car doesn't ask my age. An officer might, but not the car. Or liquor bottles don't have a thumbprint reader and cell connection that I have to get authenticated before I can open the bottle/can. Cigs same thing, ... I suppose we could put an age verification on the sale of the computer, phone, etc like we do with cars, booze and cigs. But the backlash from that would be revolution level.

I don't believe the others in cycling did cheat in general. That is where we are different. Even his team mates seem to have been in the dark about his cheating. If it had been common, it would have been a group coordinated effort. Which indicates to me that they were not cheating and that they did not believe in cheating. There are noble people in this world. The problem is that doing the right thing has been shat on so much that now most like yourself believe to get ahead you have to cheat and believe every one does it, probably yourself included. I'll be blunt, it will be the end of the western world.

Lance is that you???? Seriously, Armstrong was infamous for this. Everyone knew, but his fans were the ultimate deniers. I had a friend who loved him. I'm not positive she thought he was using even after he admitted it. I on the other hand said right after he started winning after cancer that he was on juice.

And as I understand it coming to the WH. Trump is hosting MMA I thought. Dystopian indeed. I'm waiting for the announcement for a coliseum to be built where lions eat immigrants or any political opponents on the WH grounds.

I think they forgot to account for the AI revolution. Double the power and with carbon fuels to power the new machine intelligence. Nat gas turbines are on backorder for years now. To the point some are repurposing aircraft jet engines to spin generators.

Well that was me. UNTIL. I had ADT, rates kept going up. But the "straw that broke the camels back" was I noted the smoke detectors on the system were flashing the red led instead of the green one. I looked it up, it was faulty. I'm thinking WTF, why am I paying 40/mo to ADT and they can't even tell the smokes are dead. Did some checking, geoarm offered full systems for sale and monitoring for peanuts. It was fully accredited monitoring, so insurance eligible. I put the system in myself, upgraded to 16 channels so each room was monitored instead of just an upstairs/downstairs level, added another keypad and set it up exactly how I wanted. I was surprised at just how many options can be set. I was also a bit surprised that there was a delay option from alarm until a call starts to central monitoring. I changed that to 0. Geo even recommended, as they said do you really want the criminal to be able to smash the box before we are notified and you get kidnapped? Their view, better a false alarm than no alarm. I also went cell because I always thought it bat shit stupid to be able to disable the system by literally pulling the RJ45 at the POP outside the house in an unlocked ATT box. As to monitoring, geo's provider is better than ADT was from what I've seen. Geo sends me an email when the system has any issue, from battery replacement to power fails. Which is just confirmation as the keypad tells me the same thing. I don't remember ADT doing that.
