I haven't seen the book yet, but judging by the promotional pics in the article it's neat how many of the objects they chose to be photographed with are things they do rather than just things are currently infatuated with. I like this a lot.

> It doesn't bother me that Claude could one-shot it, because that's not the point.

What do you say to someone that is bothered though? I don't know why it effects my enjoyment so, but it does.

Normal? Sadly yes.

Correct? I suppose that depends on your definition. From a corporate perspective, perhaps. But from a consumer's perspective it's most certainly not the desired outcome.

The market for home inference is still tiny compared to the burgeoning datacenter market. Of course it's not for individuals.

I can't even imagine what George would say today. I know things weren't great in the 80s, but this seems to be a whole new level of stupid.

It's all unchecked, aside from capitalism itself. Obviously a Target isn't going to open in a bad location. But that wasn't the point I was trying to make.

I suppose I should have said "a desire for unchecked growth." Listening to the politicians, every single one would happily invite every fortune 500 company, every datacenter, every mall, every everything to set up shop in their town/state and are happy to entice with tax breaks to get them there.

I'm fine with what we already have. I disagree with the premise that if you're not growing, you're dying.

Personally I feel we need more of this. Turns out that unchecked growth isn't all its cracked up to be.

There are great clients for both phones and windows machines.

I use tags. For example, anything with a server tag can accept ingress ssh connections but not egress.

What do you use for you self-hosted calendar and contracts? I'm mostly de-googled but contacts especially have been problematic.

Also, what inference hardware are you using that's so efficient you can do it solar powered?

I hate blueray. At least for having physical copies. Too many times I've tried watching something I own only to have it fail due to my player not having current decryption keys. Perhaps it's more of a player issue and less of a disc issue, but it's still a problem with the overall format.

Why limit yourself to just words? I'm hoping to get one of the single-letter domains on the new abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz TLD if I can afford it.

From an engineering standpoint, I get it.

But from a normal user's standpoint? I don't care. If my email client needs more than a single thread, something's fucked.

I randomly bounce between Thunderbird and KMail and honestly I can't tell the difference except cosmetically. Both are snappy. Neither crash. Both send and receive emails just fine.

> The UI looks pretty good too. It's really not hard to beat thunderbird.

I don't understand this mentality. It's an email client. There's not a lot needed UI-wise to make a functioning interface. Display a list of emails, show the full message when you open it, etc. I don't see anything functionally different between this email app and basically every other one I've ever used.

You've either got insane standards or are using email way different than I.

Even if it gets good enough, you're forgetting about everything else that goes into movie making and distribution. Hollywood will keep their hold on media, they just might use AI to increase profits even higher.

And then everything else will follow suit. Not that they haven't already been doing just that.

I've started watching more videos here instead of YouTube. A lot of the creators I follow also release their stuff on newgrounds, so it's easy.

> In 2025, the year President Donald Trump took office for a second term, perceived media freedom fell 22 points among Democrats and five points among independents, while there was an increase among Republicans (from 83% to 93%). This year, Democrats and independents have fallen by six and seven points, respectively, while there has been little change among Republicans.

I find this interesting as an actual data point on the "alternative facts" issue that's been going on. Republicans are being told everything is fine, and because they trust their representatives, they also trust this.

Journalism, while never completely nonpartisan, could at least historically agree on the facts, if not the validity of the responses to them. We're now seeing the complete breakdown of even the trusting of facts, depending on who is reporting them. If you're not free to gather or report on facts, you're most certainly not a member of the free press.

> This is an argumentum ad populum fallacy. "Everybody Knows" this kind of thing is true, ergo you should believe the example here without evidence.

Fair.

> It's also kinda ridiculous in context. I mean, no, there are no cases in the literature where Google...

Ok you lost me. What is "the literature"? Published scientific studies about Google's app review process? Obviously there aren't any of those. Blog posts? You (presumably) just read one, and if you take a minute to search, you'll find tons more. News articles? Perhaps harder to find, but definitely exist.

The whole nudes thing is just a funny outlier; don't fixate on that. Who cares what randomly chosen reason the Google overmind decided it didn't like you. The point is it feels like a dice roll and you have no recourse when you suddenly and randomly fail it.

Anybody who's ever tried to get through their review process can attest that the article writer's experience is far from outside the norm.

Although I must admit I've never gotten nudes from them. Up your game, Google.

Perhaps the same reason people get upset when a gold medalist is discovered using enhancers. The goal isn't just to publish a great story.

And the S stands for security.

I'm not saying it's not bad in the USA (because it is) but if you think there's no corruption or bribing in EU politics then I don't know what to say.

Histeria

Have you never been to silicon valley?

> How long do you sit in a bath?

The entire point of a bath is to relax and soak in it. Otherwise I'd just take a far more economical shower.

Every time they try and do this, it fails. The math is very much against you with converting energy this way and obviously they haven't solved that.

This seems to be a huge investment to make just to try and market the same technology but better this time.

If future jobs are simply reduced to liability scape goats (or more appropriately reverse centaurs) for management to pin things on then I'm taking up goose farming.

I hope you're right, but forgive me if I don't party yet. I thought the same thing two years ago.

> Selling devices with GrapheneOS is planned but the details and timeline aren't worked out.

I hope they get worked out in short order. I'd love to buy one preconfigured if for no other reason then I'd like to show my support.

It also shows more of a commitment by Motorola. Harder to suddenly forget about providing you with what you need if they're selling gOS preinstalled.
