Yep, most people would not understand Machine Learning or Big Data analysis generally being AI, so just market your product by the sub category and you don’t have to deal with the expectancy of GenAI

Great roll call nomination, with only one candidate. Yet she didn’t get 100% of the votes - Some would rather abstain

Or reimburse the companies the salaries of their employee’s while they vote - I’m confident that would make queue times drop

Coincidence, or maybe Fediverse is experiencing a growth spike?

Coincidentally we’re also both European, unable to grasp why Americans can’t understand the mechanics for why people are willing to vote for Trump, Farage or the AFD.

Their bases are fairly similar, middle aged white men whom lost a job with good benefits to internationalism. Mostly through outsourcing production of goods.

Simultaneously they suffered a loss of status, which arguably is a good thing. As status is more even today across the sexes than ever, but it can be hard for some to cope through.

Furthermore the political system of all three mastodons highlighted here, are designed to ignore the few. So when the few yell foul about an issue, and nothing is done. More and more will eventually turn/agree with the issue and demand it solved.

Most other parties are to some degree in favour of a status quo, but when the status quo means the world around you is continuously getting worse - You’re willing to aim for any silver linings that challenge the status quo. Even if it most likely will accelerate society downwards, just at the off chance it won’t.

In systems that let’s small parties show up, you’re going to see most small parties die out again within a term or three. Because they’re too extreme and the commoner will have seen them exposed before they get all the power. Well in the US and UK, there’s nothing to expose before you have all the power.

Germany should be better, but the no collaboration with AFD stance completely fucked it, as even more people were mad a huge chunk of society essentially got ignored. By the time anyone were willing to talk to AFD, they were already the largest party in the country - Just like the MAGAs were.

If the Republican party had engaged the MAGAs when they had 2% support among the population, tackled their 2 biggest concerns and generally exposed their extreme ideologies - We would never have had a relevant MAGA movement. But ignoring the issues, gives extremism a chance to grow out of control.

Extremism doesn’t show up out of nowhere, often they have a few good points for anyone willing to listen.

Yes, there’s a surprising amount of Rep voters who hates billionaires as much as the rest of us do, but Dems aren’t truly working for the people either.

There’s different ideologies among the parties, but both of them are anti peasants, pro elite.

Stuff like universal healthcare, free schools and proper psych wards are incredibly supported policies among voters of both parties. “European style” social welfare with a charismatic leader would get 60% of the votes in the US

Many years ago, my grandpa accidentally stole a pack of screws. While buying an electric drill, at a diy-store he was a regular customer at.

What did they do? Called the police, when the police showed up he went straight back to return the drill and vowed to never set a foot again.

Some stores really dislikes being human, and this happened in an area of Denmark far away from the capital and thus control of law

I honestly think it would do a lot if all sorting algorithms were made open source.

We would quite quickly have mapped out how their algorithms work and which companies are the most predatory

Sounds like they figured out most of the previously unspecified traffic, comes from Linux based systems.

But you’re right about an unknown amount of that traffic is from servers.

It does make some menial tasks simpler, but if people think it will actually replace us then they’re in for a shock.

That’s the sales pitch, we’re in a job market drought right now. Give it a year or two and all the slop will begin breaking, making a new job market boom for developers

Given EU have created laws to require physical knobs for key features, I’d imagine this will be stopped as well.

BMW is the brand that tests for profit initiatives to see if they stick, I recall them being reported to attempt seated heating as a subscription a few years back

A human brain model would never get us to a super computer, which is their intended goal.

Our brains have about one exaflop of processing. The NVidia B300 has 15 petaflops of processing. Corresponding to 0.015 exa, you’d need 66 of the strongest GPUs on the market to match the processing power of one human brain.

That’s before considering context, current estimations would put the human brain at 2.5 petabytes of storage. The former B300 has 288 gigabytes of VRAM. Corresponding to 0.000288 of one human brain, the earlier expectation of 66 landing flat at 0.019 the storage of a human brain.

Can arguments be made not all brain capacity is at VRAM at all times? Most likely. But context windows is the primary bottleneck, not compute

Our brains are absolute monsters, we’d gain more from understanding how we can have this powerful of a machine on so little space. The bigger breakthrough would be brainbased processing of software, but I’ve not heard of anyone going that route - Probably because it’s not feasible

The problem is the DNC is stacked against the people and have largely become a controlled opposition.

Both parties represent Silicon Valley billionaires, albeit the Republican ones are murkier. Neither party is clean.

If y’all want to be taken serious, you need a new legitimately social democratic party. Social democratic reforms, such as paid healthcare, schooling and more paid weeks off a year are widely supported among the American voters, yep they’re even favourable among Republican voters.

But no one offers them anything but whatever their favourite billionaire asks of them

Eric or Barron?

Nah, they’ll kill Donald and resurrect him to run again

Although simulations agree with you, that LLM powered agentic frameworks are more efficient than human CEOs at optimising a company. They’re also incapable of feelings, making the board of directors fire them in the majority of simulations, for being too cynical

Replacing CEOs with agentic LLMs, is not a benefit for the workers. Far from it, unless you prefer an openly psychopathic CEO

The thing is contamination pollutes upwards, so if leafy greens have 1 mg of radiation per daily intake. The meat from herbivores would be something like ten times that amount and carnivores would be ten times the contamination of herbivores.

We’re seeing this effect with micro plastics and fish, the higher up in the food chain a fish is, the more micro plastics they have

The hunting equipment can be for other scenarios.

Financial systems breakdown, into full anarchy. I reckon a cabin in nowhere, hunting equipment and barn full of seeds would be pretty rad for that scenario.

But yeah, eating plants is better than eating animals when contamination is a risk

There’s also laws in place if you’re in focus, that requires permission.

Sure I can take a picture of a plaza and if you happen to be on that photo, that’s bad luck. But I can’t zoom in on you garbling down a spinach roll.

For your scenario of going too close and forcing their way to film voyeur stuff, sounds like harassment

But in case of a radioactive catastrophe, how long would you need the bunker to last?

If people begin pumping even more more games out, the only way really to combat the shit is by increasing the fee to be marketed - It’s 100$ on steam today, but is given back if the game makes 1000$ in sales.

It would be bad for everyone, especially smaller devs from poorer countries if this fee were increased further. But it’s a pretty effective guardrail against bad and miniscule games

As long as blue ray discs are released, there’ll be webshops selling them
