raverbashing··on Capital One to acquire Brex for $5.15B
Ah but you see, chip cards were a French invention so obviously the US is going to turn their head from it and pretend it doesn't exist for more than 20 yrs
raverbashing··on We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports
Yes it's "fake till you make it" without the making part
raverbashing··on EU Parliament freezes US trade deal ratification
But if you repeat the idea as your own so it becomes

(Yes the president can't tell Greenland from Iceland, but neither half of those "tech bros" who failed geography at school

raverbashing··on I was a top 0.01% Cursor user, then switched to Claude Code 2.0
Yeah but honestly VSCode with Github copilot plugin works in a similar way. Might not be as good but it works
raverbashing··on Article by article, how Big Tech shaped the EU's roll-back of digital rights
Let me propose a different title:

Article by article: how lawyers created impractical regulations that made sure big tech monopolized Europe and made sure small players had more trouble participating, and how the legal-industrial complex is fighting to keep milking that cow

raverbashing··on EU and Mercosur countries sign landmark free trade deal
Farmers like to complain and always get new privileges with every protest

I for once are happy they are getting a reality check for once

raverbashing··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
Reading the words and interpreting the law in its wider legal context are two different things
raverbashing··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
That's interesting, because if you go here https://www.enforcementtracker.com/ there are a lot of public institutions being hit with fines (if they are enforced it's another issue) - search for Municipality for example

However I don't see any municipality in Finland getting fines

raverbashing··on The Dilbert Afterlife
And while we don't have cubicles and TPS reports anymore, people have different grievances and ways of expressing their cynicism.

History does not repeat but it rhymes indeed

raverbashing··on The Dilbert Afterlife
Or "Clean Code™"
raverbashing··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
Yeah they shouldn't be surprised if someone solves this outside the legal system
raverbashing··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
Funny whenever people complain about the GDPR here they're thinking they would be slapped with a €20Mi fine and that EU team 6 is going to parachute in their office and arrest everyone

So they're saying this is not the case?

raverbashing··on You have three minutes to escape the perpetual underclass
Every bubble in history has popped

But if you disagree I have an NFT to sell you

raverbashing··on You have three minutes to escape the perpetual underclass
Sometimes people just need to touch (literal) grass

No gpt18Pro won't cost $1Bi dollars. The buck (or the bubble) will stop somewhere.

I'd be more worried for the people making trades run 1ms faster, they literally create no value to the world that is not something their own peers believe it

There are billions of people not knowing and not caring about what is chatgpt and while it might hit them hard, humans are more flexible and less impressionable than most people think (I mean, some people think it's the other way as well and they might be right in some situations)

raverbashing··on Post-Quantum VPN Implementation on Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano
"Post quantum" is a fancy name for some crypto that has (so far) no QC accelerated solutions

You could say 3DES is "post quantum" technically (though it should only apply to public key Cryptography)

raverbashing··on Photos capture the breathtaking scale of China's wind and solar buildout
I'm not disagreeing with you so much but

> Most people don't normally think it's the boomers in particular

Interesting because most of the critiques, especially to electric cars come from boomers. Also to Solar and Wind, the kind of silly criticism like "Why are we filling our barely-arable lands with Solar?!"

Now we'll watch how the European car manufacturers get swallowed by Chinese electrical manufacturers.

raverbashing··on So, you’ve hit an age gate. What now?
Yeah, they could/*should* infer your age just by the fact you're watching an FPGA video
raverbashing··on Police chief apologises after AI error used to justify Maccabi Tel Aviv ban
Ah now I see.

> "The summation in the House—it was a question that was asked in the House—was that West Midlands Police may have used AI on this particular occasion. We do not use AI.

As for the real reason:

> Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said West Midlands Police had "capitulated to Islamists" in the decision to ban Israeli fans.

> She said the force "knew extremists were planning to attack Jews for going to a football match, and their response was to blame and remove Jewish people instead".

raverbashing··on Police chief apologises after AI error used to justify Maccabi Tel Aviv ban
"AI Error" couldn't be further from the truth
raverbashing··on Ozempic is changing the foods Americans buy
Or, you know, just less obese people
raverbashing··on 39c3: In-house electronics manufacturing from scratch: How hard can it be? [video]
> Electronics is dominated by old dudes, the industry is hostile to newcomers, self-taught people, women, and more. But by making an effort to give people who are starting a good experience, we can turn this around.

Completely agree.

Then the Semi industry wonders why they're running out of people

raverbashing··on Erich von Däniken has died
> I then proceed to give them the example of N=100 doors, opening 98 others, leaving their pick and another closed and then asking them whether that makes a difference.

Yeah this is the way I found it the easier to understand intuitively

raverbashing··on Erich von Däniken has died
Existence of extra-solar-system planets was an unproven hypothesis until the 90's but of course anyone could take a guess at its probability.
raverbashing··on Erich von Däniken has died
Strawman. Thanks for proving that "skeptics" are very happy to use fallacies as well
raverbashing··on Erich von Däniken has died
It's easy to dismiss the most obvious cases where EvD is wrong

But I think the basic idea, by itself is harder to dismiss

Archeology by itself is always going to have limitations, and there are vast swatches of history we are almost completely ignorant about

EvD is certainly guilty of taking himself much more seriously than the evidence suggests. But there's always going to be that "what if"

raverbashing··on European Commission issues call for evidence on open source
The first comment on the link is much more helpful than the article

https://lwn.net/Articles/1053131/

(yes it seems that comments are subarticles)

raverbashing··on Try to take my position: The best promotion advice I ever got
1 is correct. You can't expect the person to get better when promoted, rather you move them to the job they are already (almost) doing
raverbashing··on ICE is using facial-recognition technology to quickly arrest people
The UK once had a ministry specialized on that /s
raverbashing··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Your attempts to sounding smart only betray a profound ignorance of the current state of things in Venezuela
raverbashing··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Some regimes deserved to be changed (and of course there are second order consequences)

I know some sheltered academics on Epstein's list disagree with that but that's a hill I will die on
