The enshittification of the nation continues. $200 billion more to ICE among many other terrible things.

They gave the keys to the castle directly to the Clinton campaign. But maybe they’ll have integrity one day. We’ll probably have all turned to dust by then.

You could say also they’d rather select that than a qualified “person”. Should no opposition ever run again? Or is it clear that she was not chosen because of her gender? Maybe so, but that feels to me like it completely overlooks that there could be anything about her personality or positions responsible.

I’m not comfortable saying AOC or any other woman is a non-starter because other women have failed. A lot of people have failed before and at some point perhaps one will be selected. I think she would be a good choice, and more appealing to many than Kamala, I suspect.

If only there were a word, literally defined as:

Made by humans, especially in imitation of something natural.

I hate that. I’m looking at you Healthline. I hate that it’s always so high in the results.

Oh I’m American; I’m an immigrant here. I’m no expert on it. I’ve just lived here for several years and not witnessed that. That said, I’m probably in a bubble.

they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

I haven’t experienced that in the many years I’ve lived here. It is a humble group of people, seems to me. They also have tons of love for the other Scandinavian countries. You paint a picture of stuck up nationalists, and that’s pretty far from the truth.

So Cheerios?

Not liking Apple for ethical reasons is one thing, but thinking they don’t make good products surprises me. I think the current generation of MacBooks are some of the best computers ever sold.

By denying access to resources in a primary region, one might force traffic to an alternate infrastructure with a different configuration. Or maybe by overwhelming hosts that distribute BGP configurations. By denying access to resources, sometimes you can be routed to resources with different security postures or different monitoring and alerting, thus not raising alarms. But these are just contrived examples.

Compromising devices is a wide field with many different tools and ideas, some of which are a bit off the wall and nearly all unexpected, necessarily.

Disabling network security and edge devices to change the properties of ingress can absolutely be a component of an attack plan.

Just like overwhelming a postal sorting center could prevent a parcel containing updated documentation from reaching the receiver needing that information.

Can be a component of it.

I feel it might be precisely the opposite of that. The left constantly capitulates and tries to play nice. Always forgiving and taking the high road. Fuck that. Sometimes people are dumb, dangerous, wrong, and evil, and nobody should have a problem saying “You fucked up”. It’s on you to earn respect back, not me to give it to you and a shoulder to cry on.

AI is a superset of transformers which is then a superset of LLM’s. I think I’m making the same point as you, that in the broader sense “AI” can be useful.

Why though? Don’t get me wrong, I probably agree with your point of even not your numbered selection.

“I am the lord; thy god” doesn’t even really say anything.

You are not alone.

It also helps with tons of complex tasks in the sciences like finding new protein folding algorithms.

Falcon 9 has launched over 500 mission with a very high success rate. Of course the bulk of advancement should be coming from NASA and we need to spend more there, but SpaceX is putting up big numbers in successful payload lifts.

What year is this?

Interesting that you chose Reddit as an example. They have a fascinating origin story with respect to data mart. Early Reddit had just two tables: Thing and Data, where Thing was metadata about types and Data was a three column table with: type, id, and value.

Wrap your head around that. All of Reddit, two tables. A database couldn’t be less normalized (final boss of normal forms) and they did it in an rdb. So horrific it’s actually kind of cool.
