I don’t think AI is capable of this kind of human interaction:

Full circle. After a big orgy of trying to make ever larger word guessing engines write software we rediscover that computers are fundementally logic machines (and also word guessers were never intelligent)

NVidia’s Jensen Huang has a bag he wants you to hold.

Perhaps, but I suspect that Wikipedia was looking for a reason to ban them to avoid problems with the ADL and US Government…

The spoiler is that the virus is controlled by the immune system, so it can take over if your immune system fails for some reason (for instance AIDS).

That’s not OP’s point. The point is they are clearly getting rid of the guy for telling them their AI plans are dumb. I’ve seen it before. If you see a leader get dismissed or resign right as there is a big policy shift that’s what’s going on internally.

Yeah and “fuckening” is clearly his attempt to bandwagon on “enshittification.”

“Oh so catchy phrases need swear words in them now, I’ll use the sweariest word and have the catchiest phrase!”

AI Doomerism is AI boosterism.

No, LGPL just allows linking to differently-licensed software.

Basically linking copies some code from the library into the program that uses it, making any linked software a derivative work.

Sellers of proprietary software libraries give permission for this specific type of linking in their license. LGPL gives the same permission to people who are otherwise following the GPL. LGPL used to be called the “library-GPL” because it is the GPL plus permission to use the library linking mechanism.

Sure the parts I needed weren’t available. Which is probably the problem with these iFixit scores. They should really wait for the laptop to be a few years old and then look and see if the stuff that’s actually breaking on the laptop are actually repairable with the parts available.

For this particular laptop even though it had a really good iFixit score, I couldn’t even buy a new touchpoint nub (or whatever HP calls it). The old one completely disintegrated but the nub was different than other HP laptops, so the ones I tried to buy (even for other elitebooks) wouldn’t fit. The nub the laptop needed simply wasn’t available anywhere.

I once bought a HP Elitebook on the basis of a very good repairability score from iFixit. It was a shit laptop but the big problem was that as it started breaking I found it impossible to find parts for it. It doesn’t matter if it’s held together by torx screws with no glue if you can’t actually get any parts.

Probably a combination of that and Russia finally starting to run out of meat. They’ve been missing their recruiting goals for the last several months. Russia will have to start using general mobilization soon, something they have been very reluctant to do. This is probably why they are finally starting to move forward on ceasefire talks.

Bradley is surprisingly good considering all the “Pentagon Wars” development hell. I think a lot of people still think its junk. When it was more effective than the Abrams in Iraq the theory was that the fighting there mostly didn’t require tanks. In Ukraine of course, the fighting was very mechanized in the beginning until equipment losses and drones ended it.

And the Bradley still did very well, better than the MBTs. At this point I think it’s reasonable to wonder if MBTs are obsolete, if not all tanks. A lightly-armored vehicle like a Bradley is going to be no more vulnerable against modern MANPATS and drones than a MBT, but it’s going to provide just as effective protection against small arms. It’s easier to maintain, longer range, and it can do more missions.

Lots of chuds in the UK…

Tomorrow’s headline: Google announces layoff of 1000 employees.

Nature is healing

Elon had similar PR until he fired them for not “keeping it real.”

“It’s at 90 PSI and is 80 percent air, 15 percent water, and 5 percent oil,”

Something’s seriously wrong with the air system then, and it will contaminate all their work and compromise the welds. Water is a particularly pernicious contaminant in welding because it causes hydrogen in the weld that will make it brittle and crack.

Welding shops have to be CLEAN. There are some welding processes that can work ok with dirty metal (SMAW with some electrode types) but these only work on mild steel, and these processes really aren’t used in a shop or production setup, more for field work.

The article doesn’t really explain why except “maybe someone would like it” but I think the real answer was CGA. CGA was a predecessor color technology to VGA with a different 8 bit color space. So if you took a color scheme for CGA and rendered it on VGA you’d end up with a really garish scene.

When I was a kid I had a DOS game that I played the hell out of. I ended up ruining the disk, and stupidly didn’t have a backup, but the box included a CGA version of the game. It played just fine on my computer except that the colors were trippy on my VGA monitor.

Came here to make the same comment.

really starts normalizing nazism

As we speak Dick Cheny is lying in state in front of all the “good liberals”
