Any politician that has put their own safety on the line. I don’t care if they ratiod Trump on truth social or even took him to court. People with far less privilege are showing up on the front lines to demand accountability, we should expect nothing less from our leaders.

If they are allowed to train on OSS code then the same is true of proprietary code, they use the same legal mechanisms. Get your code off GitHub…

Also you have absolute immunity just in case there is any friendly fire

We tried to have navy seals plant listening devices in North Korea ahead of a summit, it did not go well. People say nukes, but I think their security is a whole nother level, like our government rarely knows where those leaders are at a given moment.

Teflon Don, like Epstein, collected pictures of powerful people doing “embarrassing” things. Unlike Epstein he didn’t use a private island, he used hotels that catered to people with power.

My understanding of the ML-version of events is that there were different protests happening at the same time. One was led by the students but there were others led by farmers, workers, etc in the same vicinity. The students are depicted as generally Marxist while the workers were asking for liberal reforms and they were the ones that got massacred. Without an independent media on the ground it is hard for me to know what’s what though. Point is, this image doesn’t contradict with the ML-version of events.

Our political system equates value to revenue and that is why we don’t tax accordingly. Business owners are labeled “job creators” and taxing them is framed as a negative value add.

Absolutely agree that athletes are also being exploited here and the burden should not fall on them to correct this (except as advocates for a better system).

This. Everyone wants qualified, well paid teachers for their kids, just like how most people want universal healthcare. But our government and media structure actively disempowers any such movements in that direction. Ie “we can agree we all want these things but we can’t agree on how”

And when the social sector lobbies it is called “special interests” by the press. When capital owners do it they are called “job creators” by the press. Edit: or so it goes in the states.

Revenue is not the same as value, teachers enable much more economic activity than athletes. The fact we equate “profit generated” to the value of the profession is part of the problem.

Was thinking about this in the context of a joke I heard in the late 90s:

What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.

We didn’t we have jokes like that about the billionaires; at the time people were glazing Bill Gates. It’s wild because billionaires are the ones writing the laws, lawyers just act it out.

Really? I would have said because of all the school shootings.

At least with dotcom and mortgages we had an assets bubble that didn’t have a shelf life of 5 years. It’s not like the capacity we are building now will be useful after the end of the decade

It’s easier for a smart person to pretend to be dumb than a dumb person pretend to be smart. Similarly, a dumb person is easily fooled by AI into thinking it is smart.

Annoyed Maintainer: fine, here’s a Docker file. Stop filing bugs about how you can’t install node.

It could be different but that is what the companies are stating as their operational life span when they report their financials. They used to say they would only last 4 years…

Haven’t seen this mentioned yet: the RAM they are making for these AI chips are built to burn up after 6 years. The RAM is built into the processing units to reduce latency but the whole unit is designed with short planned obsolescence so burning out after 5-6 years is expected. The assumption is that by the time they burn up they you will replace them with a more energy efficient unit.

It often feels like violence.
