I’m genuinely confused. Why not buy an entry level kubota? I guess the startup is selling low tech stuff in the 100-200hp range, but you start getting computers and stuff at that point with the conventional manufacturers? They certainly se

That’s good to know. Is there a list? Maybe a vocal community of computer literate people with money could loudly move to banks that do work (regardless of which phone they have).

I wasn’t arguing everything be thrown out, just that a competent group be put in charge, and also that they open the HW up so there is competition on the SW side. If you put third party support under macos leadership or next to it on the or

I misread the comment I was replying to; thought they were claiming HW was good, and SW was bad.

For the national 3% average to hold, for the low end of my range (30%) to hold on the west coast, the rest of the country would have to be suffering from deflation.

Why would you waste the factory output during peacetime? It seems like pork spending to me. Put the factories to good use, and maybe have 1% of output go to prototypes; 10% to dual use. Miniaturization of weaponry (like drones) makes this

Batteries help a lot. So do things like hydro and nuclear. Of course, they also stretch strategic reserves.

The abstract says the study is useless: > However, given this study applied a heterogeneous ASB formula, it could not adequately consider the role of specific artificial sweeteners. Further research is needed to evaluate the potential e

Most artificial sweeteners have metabolic side effects, and lead to weight gain. You’re probably better off drinking cane sugar soda because it is more filling than HFCS soda. Anyway orange juice is probably better still. At least it has s

The estimates I’ve seen say they lost/used 33% of their conventional capacity, 33% was rendered inoperable but recoverable. I’d guess with the ceasefire, they’re probably back to 40-50% online. The nuclear capability story is even wors

Wait until the fertilizer shortage hits food prices, and the helium shortage actually shuts down semiconductor manufacturing. Those things should be hitting just before election season.

We were burning a year worth of global patriot manufacturing capacity every day at the beginning of the war. Math says we slowed down and are also running out.

What is the carrier for if the jets it carries cannot stop swarms of drones? The only thing I can come up with is “war crimes”, but, as Iran pointed out, if you can afford an aircraft carrier, you have trillions of dollars of easily hit civ

China’s selling cheap cruise missiles. They come in unmarked shipping containers, so they can reach any target globally, as long as it is within a few hundred miles of a shipping route. Now, consider how many drones can be manufactured in

Electrifying the economy with renewables (and I’ll count nuclear as renewable) is the single most important thing countries can do right now to ensure their own military and economic security. Distributed solar and wind are more difficult t

Stockpiling doesn’t really do much vs. investing in manufacturing. Contrast the US in the civil war or wwii to the current situation. In both those wars, civilian factories were rapidly converted for the war and manufacturing capabilities

The fertilizer and helium shortages are unfortunate, but expensive gas has ~ doubled global demand for EVs. That’s an ecological miracle, given the idiocy of the US government. That’s probably where the good news ends though. If spent on

I can’t decide if the economy has bifurcated or if these inflation stats are totally bogus. Diesel is almost $7/gallon here. All the stuff we buy (food, services, electronics) are up 30-100% since the beginning of last year, but feder

What is he smoking?!? Apple Maps was fine a few years ago, but these days it routes me to the wrong place about as often as organic maps, and siri is completely broken. It renders a blue dot showing where I am, and responds “I do not know

If they are going to tap a HW guy as CEO, the next big thing should be giving exec comp and positions to every member of the Asahi Linux team, and putting them in charge of SW at Apple.

Google is worse. Most of their apps are cloud only with no E2EE. Also, they are much more user hostile when deciding what goes in the store (they make money off spying, but apple makes money off hw, so this makes sense). Both those ecosys

Unless stuff changed since I last checked, context caching just reduces cost / latency. It does not change what tokens are emitted.

I’m not sure what you are implying by “enterprise license”, but if you think it provides any meaningful protection against malicious US government actors, you really need to read and internalize the US CLOUD Act. On a related note, I reall

I’m really hoping this leads to criminal convictions once these clowns are voted out of office. Congress needs to retroactively eliminate the presidential pardon, or (more realistically) states need to pass laws allowing them to prosecute m

At what point does Google’s incompetence imply organizations that use its services are liable for negligence? What if this were a bogus subpoena for a lawyer’s privileged conversations with a client? A doctor’s communications about reprodu

Regarding FF: Something is probably wrong with your install, or the websites you have open. As a datapoint: FF + Chrome with lots of stuff open uses 2.6GB on my machine. With XFCE and a GB of other apps, it’s using about 4GB. 15 year old

That is an erosion of the social contract from the early days of SaaS. The law in the US is based on the expectation of privacy. If companies and the US government repeatedly egregiously share private data in violation of terms of service
