I see you are not familiar with the far left lol. What passes for left in the USA is the tip of the left iceberg. The leftmost edge of the identity politics in USA is a funny cartoon version. OTOH, the Fox News right is adjacent to far righ

/pol was made in October 2023 after a meeting between moot and Epstein. 4chan may not have been a honeypot but it’s likely that /pol was influenced heavily by Epstein/Maxwell which indicates a plausible link between/pol

André Robert Breton was a French writer and poet, known as a principal theorist and co-founder of surrealism. His writings include the first Surrealist Manifesto of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism"

lol. In case you didn’t notice, dissent is terrorism, failure to kiss the ring is treason, and if you want to play in the US market there are some cryptocurrency purchases you might want to do, as a hedge against unfavorable tariffs. Also,

Character.

by K0balt 1mo ago
The problem is one of character, not rules. Fortunately, character is possible to inculcate given the right training data.

Sort of, maybe to a 1900s kind of economy.

I really wish that logic held. Automation doesn’t need customers. Automation just needs more automation, and access to energy and natural resources, both of which don’t require money if you have enough automation. Ultimately, Money is only

This might end up being a strong use case for FeFET FRAM, nonvolatile, high density, and sram fast. In an alternative universe where fram infra was as widespread as flash, memory is fast, cheap, and nonvolatile. It’s just that flash built t

Unfortunately, it became so impossible to do business in the USA for many companies (where there isn’t a monopoly and you have to compete globally) that we left. I moved ops to a Caribbean nation where we can get parts, (it’s simply not pos

Oh, we’re feeling the pain. Anyone trying to actually build things in the USA relies on an increasingly unpredictable and expensive global supply chain. What he’s been doing is only good for his grift game, not the USA. If you want to bring

Yeah, probably better with the esp as just a modem over UART, with the OS on something like a baochip or even just a wCH32. https://www.baochip.com/

It seems Like projects like this (that include basic productivity tools) could potentially enable a small resurgence in sovereign computing. A 5 dollar esp32 is powerfulll enough to emulate 8086 architecture while running a tcp/ip stac

That makes sense, I think? I’ve never been able to keep a job for more than a few months because I hate being used (employed), so I can’t say I really understand, though I sympathize. I’ve always had to make my own jobs, so I also probably

I find this popular take so very odd. For me, LLMs make my dev skills feel more relevant than ever? I can create things in a few months that would have taken years of work by a small team to do before, for less than the cost of buying pizza

For me (father of 5 adult children, +2) being an older man and an experienced father (and grandfather as well) my parental responsibilities have largely changed what being ambitious means. As a man in my late 30s to 40s, I was ambitious in

A modern data center (1GW) is about the same as 140k additional cars in traffic in terms of direct heating. Seems more likely that the heating is climate change driven primarily. But, 140k cars 24/7 is a lot of cars, so???

Subtly tainted RNGs, flash download backdoors, interfaces that allow covert JTAG are all “features” that can be found in some widely used chips. Because of the freedom of the riscV license, we have microscope inspectable processors being l

First, im a big fan of what riscV has brought into the world; 0.50 cent processors with radios that can reach a kilometer, 8 cent MCUs that you can put anywhere because they are basically free, 8 dollar Linux computers, and 1 dollar WiFi no

If you are producing worthless code, you are choosing that outcome either by choosing to work on worthless projects, or by failing to provide the direction and constraints that cause the model to create performant, maintainable code. You c

Yeah, it is painful to me to read. I have to deal with enough in my work, which is almost 100 percent AI driven now.

Twice as much rotor weight moving the same cross section of air. What might actually work would be a coaxial where rotor A and rotor B swept different parts of the rotor disc at different rotational speeds, to get blade speeds closer over t

I’ve had gpt 5.6 make snyde remarks about Claude output… like iirc “that’s a lot of load bearing prose without making a point” and things like that, not so subtle digs.
