i would expect he meant the us and israel, if there is any distinction by now. yes, that was meant ironically :-)

regardless, those are just labels. these people have no homeland, they see nothing but power, and democracy has always been a convenient facade for criminals to rule the world. it doesn't work anymore. you might see this retarded palantir tech-visionaire as a cartoon villain with delusions of world domination, but even these are just elite peons for the very same bankster gang who has been running the show since even before ww1. nothing new, it's all the same war, but times change and the world has outgrown them. the sudden rise in brutality and recklessnes right now is just the symptom of their desperation because of waning power after decades of misplaced bets and sunken costs, overexploitation and their offshore colonial operations and pozni schemes crumbling down. contrary to what it seems there's not much they can do about it though, which is why this filthy rich dumbfuck calls for "universal conscription". might as well be creepy ursula crying wolf, no difference, they all bow to the same lords. if they don't "accidentally" (out of shear panic or spite) doom the entire species then they'll either move abroad and salvage their assets or end up feeding on their own in their decadent backyard. that's "us", btw. happy future! if you're planning on staying don't have kids.

now, to be fair, power is always self perpetuating, and elites abroad are no saints. but the phenomenon of western hubris and exceptionalism (now starting to express itself as vicious religious zealotry and ideological radicalism) is really one of a kind, and it's long overdue. the rest of the world is not like that.

in the current situation 3 developements are not only possible but becoming increasingly likely:
- fuel shortages (not merely a price spike)
- inflation going through the roof
- combined with a recession if not depression, which also means high interest rates

so considering an electric vehicle if you currently drive a a combustion vehicle is not at all uncalled for, specially if you were considering a photovoltaic installation aswell. it means you might remain functional during these developments, and you might not be able to afford it in a few months time (consider inflation and growing demand). if you were intending to get a new car in the medium term anyway and an ev fits your needs then it's a nobrainer to do it now.

in this case "unhealthy" means fatty liver and possibly steatohepatitis, high lipoprotein in bloodstream, heart disease, hypertension, insulin resistance, gout. and getting fat in general, which is unhealthy on way more accounts than i'm ready to list.

i agree, i'm not a paleodieter, that's nonsense. i responded to "nothing they give to school-kids resembles fruit" which sort of implies that fructose from something that resembles fruit is okay because "it's natural" (in the same line of argument you critizise) so i pointed out that today's high availability is not natural either and has never been in our evolution (it's an artifact of modern food industry and marketing). real fruit indeed also contains a lot of fiber which reduces absorption, but overconsumption is ... well, unhealthy.

it's all about the dose. and it appears you forgot the link.

doesn't matter. shakes, cakes and syrup are worse, but fructose in regular fruit is still bad in excess (obesity, diabetes, liver problems). the benefits of fruit are many: antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, etc. (excess of some of those can be bad too, mind) but mainly because of the high fructose content it should be consumed sparingly. like tfa points out we're not bears going into 6 months of hibernation, even though [-space reserved for obligatory joke-].

fruit today is overabundant, even already peeled and cut into bite sized portions. that's not how we evolved, even our grandparents didn't have access to so much fruit all year around. heck, when i was a kid saint nickolaus brought us exactly that as a present and special treat: fruits and nuts, and a bit of chocolate.

claude desktop is essentially your llm chat loop (you write a prompt, llm prints a result, you copy/paste what you want, rinse and repeat) with some handy features: you can create separate projects with prompt history and global rules, you can upload source files or you can give it read access to your github repos and it produces files you can then diff directly to your own. it supports anthropic's models and you can use sonnet 4.6 for free (which is quite good).

llama.cpp is just a model runner for any model, usually from the terminal. ollama is a dashboard (initially built over llama.cpp) to pick and choose models.

claude code, cusor, copilot, codex etc. are all an entirely different rabbit hole. these are coding agents and/or coding harnesses, more general tools with varying functionality to work with any model, context management, break high level goals into tasks and then run agents and subagents and let them roam over your codebase and run commands on your system. openclaw is a more generic agent, not just for coding.

thunderbolt seems to go one step further to build your own infrastructure of harnesses and agents, aimed at organizations and still in development

here's a good read on the generalities of coding agents and coding harnesses: https://magazine.sebastianrasc...

odds are you are in for a surprise on that.

you might be in for a surprise on that too.

fair enough, but deployed server executables aren't usually referenced as "publishing code" or "internal codebase" so i assumed there was some misunderstanding there.

they do have phone and desktop clients although that's likely javascript, and seem open to on premises service. anyway ai binary analysis seems a moot point here because the whole "security" angle is clearly just a pretext for closing the source; the real reason is anybody's guess but i'm betting on a good laugh if (or when) they get pwned.

that's today. 10000 years ago the main cause of death was trauma, then infectious diseases after agriculture and sedentarism were introduced along with overcrowding and less healthy lifestyles and diet. the main causes of death today are degenerative diseases from the combination of longer lifespans (because of sanitation and healthcare) and even crappier lifestyles and diet. genetics seems to have had a minor impact in all this.

"binary analysis/conversion"

indeed. the whole premise is totally contradictory if not hypocritical: "Cal.com would be an open-source project [because] limitations of existing scheduling products could only be solved by open source" (a jarring claim in itself), and now that they have a working product "open source has become too dangerous" and "we don't want to become a cybersecurity business", which is just nonsense because 1. security by obscurity is the last thing you want, this is security 101, 2. if malicious llm agents can find vulnerabilities so can yours and 3. finding and getting rid of vulnerabilities is not becoming a "cybersecurity business", it's a fundamental and unavoidable responsibility of any software developer. the charlatanery here is just through the roof.

could be. they claimed to have reached profitabilty in 2025 and didn't depend on further venture capital, however they're fishing for extra $25m in 2026. to "expand". maybe closing the source is just an argument to lure investors. it seems they're targeting the health sector which is specially sensible and hope investors are ignorant enough to buy that bullshit. who knows, they might even be right!

i didn't say it's impossible or inappropriate, and i conceded that it should be easier now than 20+ years ago with limux, probably much easier, but we shouldn't underestimate the complexity and work involved either. limux was possible and appropriate back then but it stalled because the difficulties were too many and the motivation too weak. now both factors are surely way more conveniently aligned but you still have to get there. je leur souhaite bonne chance, and wish the example expands (and suspect it will)!

oh, "everybody" knew :-). it's just that the masks have fallen off and mirrors and smoke no longer work. paraphrasing mark carney in davos: "we knew international order was a fiction covering up dominance but we played along because it suited us, and it no longer does" (full speech with timestamp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...).

the irony, that's actually a prostitute's job description: get fucked.

nyt, newyorker, reuters ... might aswell be fully run by llms from a basement and you wouldn't notice.

lovely how this thread still has only one reply. not even /. diehards give a fuck about msm anymore? X'D

careful what you wish for. according to this:

“John Doe responded by sharing that Ross had lived in Chaska, Minnesota; grew up in Indiana; and served in the Indiana National Guard—biographical details that were circulating widely at the time,” and wrote that “Hopefully he moves up to Stillwater State Penitentiary,” according to The Intercept.

On a different occasion, Doe suggested that another Reddit user write “Urine speaks louder than words” on an anti-ICE protest sign. “TSA sucks and we all know it,” Doe wrote in another comment thread.

Doe submitted a declaration stating, “I utilize this account to engage in political speech through direct posts, as well as dialogue with community members in comment threads associated with my own and others’ posts. Reddit allows users to post and engage on the service without publicly disclosing their legal identity. Like many other users on the site, I use Reddit to converse anonymously.”

you might be on the consequence hook for your comment here aswell, as soon as trump is out of office.

the part that's kind of frightening is that this is actually a unique and very worth reading study observing about 20 years of behavior that apparently not one of you deranged primates here has deemed worth reading. :o)
