Wealth allows for MORE food to be produced and healthcare to be provided.
UltraSane··on UK Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power
There was no need for a mass evacuation because of Fukushima, it was a overreaction caused by irrational fear of nuclear power. The evacuation itself caused much harm. It is pretty silly to hype an incident that caused ZERO deaths as some kind of horrible nuclear disaster.
UltraSane··on UK Green party drops longstanding opposition to nuclear power
No it was never possible for Fukushima to become a Chernobyl style disaster because it has a containment structure and the biggest difference is that Fukushima was basic overheating while Chernobyl was a complex power excursion of over 100GW. There was never a runaway nuclear explosion at Fukushima; it was a severe thermodynamic failure of cooling.

It was absolutely not almost a second Chernobyl. Saying this proves you understand very little of what happened in the Chernobyl and Fukushima accidents.

Except browser based versions take 10x the RAM of native versions.
UltraSane··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
Can you really imagine the average person ever doing this? Or even understanding how multisig actually works? When you need to start engraving wallet addresses in titanium you have to step back and ask about usability.

"you can have multisig wallets"

This falls under "extraordinary precautions" that few people do and is an enormous error prone hassle.

Controlling your own crypto keys is like having your net worth in cash or gold stored in your house. It could easily be lost or stolen or destroyed in a fire unless you take extraordinary precautions and then it is all gone.

Really? I consider the second season of Star Trek: Picard to be one of the worst seasons of TV ever made.

These combined with constant access to LLMs are basically the power glasses or specs from the book Accelerando by Charles Stross that the main character becomes so dependent on he becomes severely disoriented when they are stolen.

The United States actually possesses one of the most efficient, profitable, and advanced freight rail networks in the world with 140,000 miles of well maintained rail. Being optimized for freight the rails are designed for slower moving heavy cars instead of lighter fast moving passenger cars.

UltraSane··on Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
"You have to set down a lot of logic to hold the idea that this man did a Nazi salute in a stadium full of people"

No, I just have to WATCH HIM DO IT TWICE! As to why he would do it I would assume drugs as Musk's behavior during that period was so weird and destructive it seems he was actually close to getting fired from Tesla.

As far as hating Musk it is actually Musk that is a very hateful man. Just look at how cruel he was when he fired all those people from Twitter and the federal government.

Telling people Musk didn't do a nazi salute is like peeing on their leg and telling them its raining.

It isn't a caricature. Elon already lets bots run rampant on Twitter.
UltraSane··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
The better LLMs get at math the better the people using them need to be to be able to ask them the right questions and understand their output.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
Yes, the Trump admin seems to be breaking laws and blatantly lying as a matter of principal.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
I truly hate party politics and just want politicians cooperating to make the country run as well as possible for as many people as possible. But Republicans reliably cut taxes for the rich, dramatically grow the national deficit, and start stupid wars.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
I've mainly seen the word used in suspiciously bot-like GOP-propaganda comments on youtube videos
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
Using the word lawfare reveals you are not unbiased.
UltraSane··on Apple Security Research Device
Security and freedom are mutually exclusive for the vast majority of non-technical people who will happily infect themselves over and over with malware.
UltraSane··on What’s getting pwned right now
