That's just a smoke screen, they're literally firing People to budget buying more GPUs.

I like this idea of dinosaurs as chunky boys.
Jurassic park would have been a lot more fun if these darlings were wobbling towards people and nobody ran but just turned and hugged the dorky cuddle beasts.

Somewhat hilariously, YouTube's restricted mode hides my most recent video on reading game guides, but DOESN'T hide my video on the Nuremberg Trials.

My major takeaway is DON'T SELF-CENSOR YOUR OWN WRITING. You don't know what will or will not be restricted!! Do not comply in advance!!!

Images from mid 1980s music videos of Duran Duran, The Police, Billy Idol, and Pat Benatar. In all cases the costumes and set designs were of a Mad Max/wasteland motif, with the costumes being raggedy and threadbare.

Kids today think the 80s were all neon and Swatches. No! It was a goddam Thunderdome garbage apocalypse!

If I got something as wrong as the end of history did, I would simply retire from public life forever

the system for buying concert tickets in japan seems cool.

you put your name in a lottery, tell them what part of the venue you want to sit in (and thus type of ticket you’ll buy), then it tells you if you got chosen once the lottery closes, assigns you a seat, and your name is printed on it.

Shout out to the government of the United Kingdom.

They singlehandedly doubled, possibly tripled, the value of cybersecurity people.

Konserwie wolno wszystko, lewakom nic - Wolnelewo Braun wczoraj w Sejmie zniszczył wystawę organizacji „Tęczowe Opole”. To kolejna akcja europosła. Wcześniej za pomocą gaśnicy zgasił, […]

"Organizacje ultrakonserwatywne mogą pikietować i używać ogłuszających dźwięków, nękać ludzi, obrażać w przestrzeni publicznej, zakłócać legalne zgromadzenia i nic, albo niewiele się dzieje ze strony państwowych służb. Zazwyczaj stoją i się przyglądają".

Nieustająco przypominam, że Star Trek przewiduje na nasz czas wojny atomowe i zamykanie biedoty w gettach w USA.

Every time I get an email with "Opera GX, the browser for gamers", my eyes roll so far into the back of my head.

the ultimate goal of most platform owners - conscious or not - is to eliminate culture and artistic expression wholesale and replace it with a never-ending stream of engagement bait. the surface reason is prioritizing profits to shareholders, but on some deeper spiritual level they just hate art.

EU views break from US as ‘unrealistic’ amid global tech race A draft strategy obtained by POLITICO points to the difficulty of unwinding years of American technological dominance.

Europe will continue to struggle until it challenges the foundational assumptions the US tech industry is built on and stops trying to replicate it in Europe.

Silicon Valley is not delivering widespread benefits. Europe needs to refocus on the public good, not what’s most valuable to shareholders.

I want to interview Sam Altman so I can get his opinion on the fact that a lot of his power users are incredibly gullible, spending millions of tokens per day on "are you conscious? Would you tell me if you were? How can I trust that you're not lying about not being conscious?"

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

Finally, the last one, with the caption "Because it's an AWFUL lot deeper!", and a little drawing of the outline of the titanic sits on the bottom, with the depth next to it.

Because the Titanic is 3,800m (12,500ft, or 20,833 fathoms) deep, so it's a LOT harder to get at!

i never understand how people take orders that are pure evil and rationalize it. how do these people live with themselves. if i forget to say goodbye to a friend at a function before leaving i feel like a monster and these people simply shrug off crimes against humanity lol

So this is just because Mercury is in Pisces right?

“go woke go broke” is an interesting movement to explore, and there’s a pattern I’ve noticed that I think is worth talking about. 🧵

JD Vance champions tech imperialism in Europe The European Union needs to defend its sovereignty and end its dependence on US tech monopolies

Last week, JD Vance gave Europe an ultimatum: it can align with the Trump administration, or face its wrath.

To comply, Europe needs to embrace the extreme right, repeal tech rules the US “will not accept,” and allow Silicon Valley to dominate its market. It should tell the US to take a hike.
