Yeah my management was all gungho about exploiting AI to do all sorts of stuff.

Like read. Not generative AI crap, but read. They came to us and said quite literally: “how can we use something like ChatGPT and make it read.”

I don’t know who or how they convinced them to use something that wasn’t generative AI, but it did convince me that managers think someone being convincing and confident is correct all the time.

GODLIKE!!!

Lunokhod is a soviet lunar rover.

I don’t think Trump is capable of admiration, and I also don’t think it’s dirt keeping him in check.

It might simply be that Trump is that stupid. The parallels between descriptions of Trump and Hitler are striking as well.

If Trump doesn’t respond to the international humiliation it will be intentional, otherwise if he got his way with the Unitary Executive Power, then he’d just glass Russia and be free from that chain (while probably getting lots of us killed).

The only thing we know for certain is Russian propaganda is rarely intended for Western audiences.

RC Hobbiests become the most in demand job.

I was going to say “doubt” because I’ve seen various smart bulb development prototypes (ancient technology by now), but then it occurred to me that once you nix the parts that drive LEDs from AC, you got yourself a nice lil mc board. With some fancy soldering (better than anything I could do) you could probably get access to a couple extra pins. If you can get access to whatever reprogramming interface it has on just one, youve now got yourself a fligh controller. You’ll need a radio, but I imagine Russia has something for that, or maybe they have something fancy with whatever the 2.4Ghz radio provides.

Then you need PWM signals for motor control and you need an accelerometer and gyro. Every phone and your grandmother has those. Program in your flight software to fly the drone the way you want with all the sensors and radios. Then you just need a battery adapter and escs for the BLDCs.

If you get a shipment of 10k bulbs and have a process for extracting it - you got up to 10k drone brains.

Oh I haven’t played that in a while. Looks like a bunch of updates

Oh that part’s easy.

Money.

California has economic power over the rest of the US because of the money that flows through it.

One day, in the future, the people who live where Russia is now will look back at the history of Russia and say “Ha, wow, what a bunch of stupid inbred alcoholics. Thank goodness Putin forgot to reinstall the window of his last victim.”

No, that is not how the ccTLD is enforced by IANA. It has sole authority, and it is not automatic is any way. There have been a total of two retired domains, one in like 95 and km 2000.

They will not retire a domain under heavy use such as .io.

That means the British Indian Ocean Territory will cease to exist, along with the .io domain and countless websites.

That is most definitely not how it works.

I’m not.

It was sort of a joke. I’m not leaving windows for the price.

See below: I started my machine off with an XP Professional 64bit license (I didn’t personally buy) in like 2006?

Because I kept the key for… Oh god 18 years, I always had the windows Pro versions. Windows 7 64 pro, Windows 8.1 Pro, and Windows 10 Pro.

A solar powered car that topped at 70mph would be ideal,

But goddamn, could you imagine just having one that topped at 30 MPh in a city? Infinite travel!

Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each “upgrade” used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won’t go to 11.

Edit: Actually I don’t think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.

Office 365. I hate it, but I don’t need a windows PC to use it.

Wait. They want me to pay for something I already paid for?

Well guess my $2.5k new windowless machine is looking better everyday.

… Because it all becomes Crab?

Sorry I’m late guys

I’m not going to get a mac anytime soon, but at least it would stop my cat from powering down everything spontaneously
