It's laughable to call that an "antifa cell", especially as they're abusing terrorism charges to send someone away for life for moving zines. We have white-nationalist groups actually organizing and training. Shipping in

We have cell phones and satellite imagery now. We can also trace the endless deluge of articles with their citations and see almost every single one ends up at a thinktank laundering the Zenz report. There is an actual genocide in Palestine

The associated press reported the camps closing nearly 5 years ago. The entire conversation around the Uyghur "Genocide" has never been serious. The claim of genocide came from the estimated rate of population growth reducing(to a

Are all the updates still handled by clobbering bash scripts? Last time I looked into it, the technical approach was equivalent to throwing a bunch of things at a gas fire. It's just a pre-configured arch install that introduces a metr

We're quick to want to automate trucking, manufacturing, even knowledge jobs and say "ooh but the horse shoe maker became the tire installer" but the pointless middleman jobs making everyone's health worse seems to be th

I have been yelling about the thinktank "truth laundering" industry for years now. They were instrumental in the whole "Uyghur genocide" thing where the only proof was Adrien Zenz suggesting there would be a possible fut

I run both Plex and Jellyfin. The joy of Plex is I can log in on my work machine to listen to my music without having to install and client-side software, running personal VPNs, worrying about the security merit of the Jellyfin log in scree

And I'm sure the same folks complaining about undocumented laborers would be equally upset when their fruit, berries, and nuts double and triple in price as they bring in domestic labor. Or we'd just lose several domestic agricult

IE self defense, traps, and automatic weapons. You can't automate the trigger pull even in a state with a strong castle doctrine. There needs to be a human in the loop. I think even remotely operated guns move towards the "trap&qu

People want it to be Data from Star Trek, when it really should be the ship's computer. I want to tell it to run a simulation accurately, create some solved tool, etc. I don't think there's any correction that can return LLMs

This is essentially the problem with a lot of US fabs. Many exist only as a technicality for the defense industry to make things domestically. This means they get the "$1,000 hammer" margins. When you approach them for a prototype

China is also ~4x the population of the US and accounts for 30% of the worlds manufacturing and energy production. The scale is so crazy that these numbers rarely make sense on their own.
