The claims by VISA and Mastercard, that they are committed to nternational markets, adds up to a big 0. If the US government issues sanctions, they will comply. Countries outside the US are wise to pursue other infrastructure. The big surpr

Truly. "Make the libtards cry" Was enough of a hate monger campaign promise, to put the most blatantly corrupt president in US history, in office. The descent of the US population into abject idiocy has been striking.

Where are the good search engines, for anything? As the push to force users onto LLMs, search has plummeted in effectively finding relevant pages. And not just goggle. Why isn't anyone applying LLMs to interpreting the semantic meaning

Except that people build LLMs, train them, and prompt them. Without humans, there are no LLMs. I continue to be annoyed by reports that "LLMs solved some problem". People developed the LLM s/w, trained the model to solve the

Um, sorry. If you've ever sat behind a poorly maintained vespa at a stop light, and in it's cloud of exhaust when it takes off, then you definitely don't think it's cool... Same thing for old beetles and VW buses. Total

While I agree with you, laws are being routinely ignored by the US executive now. But I would also say, the only impediment to executive overreach has been the constitution, as little as that impediment has been. Albeit the current supreme

I don't think the jump in EV sales in Europe are primarily driven by environment consciousness. The jump in EV sales this year are primarily driven by seeing what a psycho in the US whitehouse can immediately do to gasoline prices. Gas

The fear surrounding cannabis is astrological, and also astronomical. Compared to either alcohol or tobacco, the risks are minimal. The petro mafia is preventing a transition away from oil, the alcohol and tobacco mafia are fighting the use

I've used buildroot extensively, and an occasional yockto. My impression in recent years is that these image cross build environments are just not as frequently needed as they were back in the day of their invention. My most recent emb
