Palantir and Anduril both have an altogether creepy fixation on the UK. I hope Trump lives a long enough and cognitively healthy enough life to witness his own utter humiliating failures, which are inevitable. His coalition is collapsing, h

I wouldn’t be surprised if it performs adequately in this context —- isn’t the manufacturer a VOIP device maker? The reality is that they spam the market with a large number of products with little consistency, poor (if labyrinthine) docume

How are we still in a world where there are breathless, hand-waving blog posts written about the theoretical potential of super-fast SBCs for which the manufacturer shows fuck all interest in competent OS support? Yet again, OrangePi cran

I believe I know an immune-compromised adult who was taking anti-parasitics for more than two years due to workplace (care context) reinfections. I say “believe” because these are two things people talk about in coded, careful ways. It migh

I am no expert but my take on this is: FreeCAD is obviously not a commercial grade CAD package, but it’s not because it is weak conceptually: it’s not dissimilar to Solidworks, Onshape or Fusion. It’s weak in terms of UI flow and its CAD ke

I am unconcerned about it being downvoted. If it makes people defensive enough to downvote it, it did its job, and maybe through attrition it, with other people’s disgusted rage, will contribute to educating the sociopathic Valley tech indu

The gun comparison comes up a lot. It especially seemed to come up when AI people argued that ChatGPT was not responsible for sycophanting depressed people to death or into psychosis. It is a core libertarian defence and it is going to come

Honestly… fuck all of these people. Why would you do this? Again and again this stuff proves not to be AI but clever spam generation. AWoT: Artificial Wastes of Time. Don't do this to yourself. Find a proper job.

This is… an insane argument. But just the idea that Bill Barr gives a shit what liberals think makes me laugh.

You miss my point. This is a list of people engaging in something flat-out corrupt . The ballroom is an inherently corrupt project. It will prove to be simple corruption.

So you haven't read his Wikipedia page then, and you are too young, I guess, to remember Iran-Contra. You apparently don't even remember how Barr got the job from Trump.

Bannon is a convicted criminal money-launderer and fraudster; we ban such people all the time (and so do other countries). But he's also agitating against UK interests (and interfered in our politics before). Musk has literally called
