I was in a car with one of them there blu-ray players, and it turned out there was actually disc in, so we tried to use it. After 15 minutes of unskippable content, we finally got to the start of the film and wanted to select language/subtitles - and it wouldn’t let us. 20 mins wasted.

DVDs and BlueRay were crap, we just forgot.

Can I recommend watching Vlad Vexler (u-tube). Vlad talks about the deterioration of democratic institutions with a larger historical context.

Vlad’s interpretation of the current US situation is that it is a minor crisis for which there are still chances. He expects a real crisis over the next 10 years, when an authoritarian arrives who isn’t a moron.

There are problems, and risks - but still hope.

Lemme take a guess here: mgmt are going this start complaining that human written articles are dropping off in quality so they will need to focus more on AIGen content.

Are we looking at the physical universe, or are looking at psychology, or philosophy contexts?

In physics, we can’t really consider the universe to be deterministic at the quantum scale. We only think it must be when we try to look at particle interactions as a scaled down billards game.

This conversation often gets us to R. Penrose’s “consciousness is not computational”, from which we can retrace our steps with a separation of algorithmic processes. Is GenAI similar to the “stream-of-thought”? Perhaps, but does that lead to intelligence?

BYD is already facing scrutiny for running Evergrande like accounting, and a lot of political pressures from other Chinese manufacturers. The risk is that they collapse like Evergrande, and that they drag public debt into it. The CCP might prop them up, so it light be safe. A car is different from a book, because you need lifetime service for it. If they go under, you might lose access to parts.

Getting to deprecate legacy support… Yes please, let me get my eraser.

I find most tech debt resolution adds code though.

This sounds like an absolute nightmare. Listen to the techbro leaders talk about the general population, and imagine them owning what manages your brain… Ieam electrically, as opposed to indirectly.

He likely brought a ton of capital with him.

Offended.

Sweet, that will help me, although it takes away my last blocker allowing me to use my Linux box as my primary blocker.

I guess I will have to comain about performance or something.

Can you run amd64 containers?

You should read their policy

On YouTube I watch a guy Jay Legere who installed a Bluetti solar and battery system. I think that Anker has a system too.

If you have a few grand about, there are company that sell very easy to use kits that are quite handy.

Wait 'til the point where those mundane elements are the basis of your stability, and a positive aspect of your self-confidence (I keep my coffee machi e deacaled successfully)

This AI tech, smat-home, cloud compute etc would all be amazing if we could trust that it wasn’t built to harvest us.

We, the people, have become the Commons.
