it is just sad, really wish we understood the brain more and could help those who need it

archive.is works for most news site paywalls

its from terry davis, the schizophrenic talented developer who wrote his own OS (TempleOS) from scratch as one of gods temples or something, however he was pretty racist and delusional, so would see “glowies” of CIA agents or whatever trying to get him, and now the term is used for people suspecting others of being federal agents

i agree, although the debris definitely left the exclusion zone, as shown by the large number of flights impacted, and spacex setting up a found debris hotline.

you could buy some ip space and setup bgp to peer with hurricaine electric or a local exchange and then be an integral part of the internet, essentially being your own ISP.

in a year from now, ceo’s will probably have a bit more private security and do less walking around in cities at 6 in the morning alone. I agree with you on the rest though

Those people injured while hiking, how many inches away were they from death? Trump was less than 6 inches easily. The actual injury is very lame, but if I narrowly escaped death by an inch or two I’d be freaking out too, especially if I had to continue doing what got me into that situation.

i really don’t like the idea of ground news though, they act all unbiased an etc and then tell you exactly how biased your media is and what to think about it, AND THEN summarize it with (surely 100% trustworthy and pure) LLMs.

$1000 drone? likely less than 500$ even for a consumer, and ukraine does have some of its own production setup to drive costs lower.

our brain is a black box, we accept that. (and control the outcomes with procedures, checklists, etc)

It feels like lots of prefessionals can’t exactly explain every single aspect of how they do what they do, sometimes it just feels right.

AI and machine learning are very similar (if not identical) things, just one has been turned into a marketing hype word a whole lot more than the other.

Innovations still help people loads, that’s a crazy pessimistic generalization.

Yes of course the trashy tech bro nonsense isn’t helping you, but what about RNA vaccines during covid? What about all of the medical work and innovation going into cancer treatment? What about all of the work and innovation going into reducing carbon emissions so we don’t ruin our planet? I could go on for a long time.

Real innovation in mainstream tech may be mostly stagnant and lame, but there will always be useful and helpful innovation.

It sounds like a lot of the precursors are too generally used to blanket ban them because of fentanyl. Kinda seems like this is just the cost of seamless worldwide shipping, we simply can’t open every bag of cat food being shipped to make sure its not a fentanyl precursor.

crowdstrike has caused issues like this with linux systems in the past, but sounds like they have now moved to eBPF user mode by default (I don’t know enough about low level linux to understand that though haha), and it now can’t crash the whole computer. source

some large commercial dna testing companies share their databases with law enforcement, and additionally you really don’t need a close match to start identifying someone, 5th cousin type thing etc. heres an good video on the issue.

Well, yeah this really really isn’t good. This outcome is the worst of anything that couldve happened, but it also was absurdly, stupidly, close, if the wind had gusted differently, or if trump moved his head differently while speaking, we would be having a very different conversation.

If you make a great, almost certainly deadly, swat at a hornet, but it miraculously escapes and stings you in the face, acknowledging that it was a good try at least is fair.

i agree, but also assassinating the president cannot be an easy task, and considering how far away they were, literally grazing his head is a very very good attempt. trump got absurdly lucky here

if we get a video showing something changing on his face before he touches it or falls to the ground, I think that would rule out false flag, or at least they would have had to actually shoot something at him to do that.

for 3d printed gun people (not personally one of them, just browsed their subreddit once), they use some vaguely blockchain crypto related p2p video host called LBRY, not sure if that model is scalable though, as it seems to be based around free p2p hosting like torrents, although there was some mention of hosting fees, presumably in crypto? not sure

the infrastructure of the pirate streaming sites is impressive, but I bet that is still orders of magnitude easier than hosting youtube.
