The path of not doing anything the US might disagree with just leads to more extortion of Canada anyway. They only path to get concessions from US is to withdraw from acts of sycophancy. Cancel F35s, sell existing ones, charge rent for NORAD occupation, charge aggressively for evil against Venezuela/fishing boats support. Meet escallation with more escallation.

When the only argument against demonic evil is that reality is russian bots, then bankrupting the US for war on Russia, China, AI is the only outcome that you bodysnatched minions of warmongering lizard people deserve.

1. it is a propaganda based view that Ukraine/“the west” didn’t start the war, and the mere thought of loan is desperation to keep war going. You need to be extremely angry at demonic evil that ever caused you to believe the lies.
2. the money will 100% never be repaid, because it is not even a “subjugate Ukraine in perpetuity”. It is literally, pretend Russia should repay it.
   3, The decision process is “let’s have an equal EU vote on how Belgium can best corrupt assets that are concentrated under its jurisdiction.” Even before the US tells its slave colonies how best to corrupt funds they hold, Belgium is the first to veto.

How much longer should Ukraine be without power, and how many more Ukrainians should die to prevent this? How much more US social program cuts to fund an extra year of Ukrainian stalemate with 10%-20% rulership corruption skimming?

Majority of Americans don’t know that US forced this war.

fuck you bozos.

my experience is that the language is far more overtly psycho than this.

It’s genuinely bad, even if entire universe isn’t affected. Shows sloppiness. Headline is too kind for implying this could be “some kind of design upgrade”, instead of FUBAR.

This is about using illegally frozen Russian assets for loan. Both US and Belgium want to keep control over the funds, and terms where Ukraine only has to repay the loan if Russia begs to pay Ukraine government to accept its reconstruction funds is guaranteed to mean that Ukraine would never have to repay. Seems like performative posturing.

great piece worth reading in full. It’s well argued but it is based on “average spending”. Some tips:

In the Snowpiercer economy, children are to be eaten, not heard. babies taste best. Savings: $2700/month.

$1200/month transportation is argument for bikes.

Big part of post is about “welfare cliffs”, and divisive hatred directed below (above?) from those who fall off the cliffs, by earning more than a magic number.

UBI/freedom dividends is an extremely important reform, not just to eliminate homelessness, but all of the cliffs that prevent incentives to work harder and keep gains from working harder. Whether freedom dividends are $12k or grow to $24k+, it should be viewed as help to everyone, and more help than existing programs that can be eliminated.

“If Democrats, my former party or current party, or however you want to look at it, ran someone who agreed with me, even in private, they would win. So, you know, maybe you should stop winning in the faculty lounge and start winning,” Karp said. “We’re apparently not supposed to say anymore, but we always said we’re cold in the streets and hot in the sheets. Democratic Party should think about that a lot.”

This is a lie. Zionist Absolutists shifted to Trump because he explicitly supported absolutist genocide. Biden/Harris didn’t want to Kent State anti-genocide protests, but their absolutist devotion to Zionist rule over the US was definitely a DNC purpose. His continued BS about “progressiveness” is the German 1930s NDSAP anti-communist supremacist absolutism gaslighting.

I don’t believe this, because it is too stupid. 2026 demand forecasts for HBM I don’t believe will materialize, as customers can’t pay those crazy RAM prices either, OpenAI can’t pay for all of their promises, demand isn’t high enough for the planned data centers, and power and labour constraints.

I don’t believe it because Micron is a brand that has value premium to it. Even if they just keep charging extortionist prices while HBM demand fantasy remains propagandized, there will eventually be worthwhile consumer demand for RAM, right? Killing the division and firing everyone in it, is Micron saying “making too much money from HBM must forever put all eggs in HBM basket”

For sure, only pure evil motives. Establishment needs to destroy Canada to pillage it. Wrap it up in war on China and Russia. Deliver Canadian slaves to Israel and US oligarchy.

Goldberg and The Atlantic are CIA/Mossad propaganda arms. There is no doubt that in some order he is entirely devoted to US/Israel supremacism. He, in his role, is a superior to Hegseth. He leaked it just to embarass the warfighter in chief.

Hegseth is an extreme evil supremacist, but this is a distraction going nowhere.

AI is a military/political control/fossil energy project. Purpose of spending is purely for dominance ambitions, and government will (over)spend what is needed to use the datacenter time. AI budget/regulation items are already part of military funding bills. Remember, if the US does not bankrupt itself in pretense of supremacism, China wins.

Approach won’t work. Needs to offer partial ceasefire for new Ukrainian elections, and only new rulership can end war, instead of bribery gravy train to the last Ukrainian. New border lines won’t stop Ukrainian terrorism and retaliation. Only new government.

I like the guy’s presentations. To the point, with charts and graphs.

You want 2-3 phones instead of a folding phone. Light pocketable phone for actual mobile purposes. Can get a data only esim phone with voip to supplement voice/text phone, and have independent enabled data. independent charging. Backup when broken/lost phone. I suggest:

1-2 lightweight phones for mobility.
1 large possibly rugged phone for video or rugged adventures. Can be steam deck on a stand that is better setup as a dashboard. email + web tickers/discord. samsung and other phones also have a “desktop multiwindow mode”
3rd phones, can help with having 2 separate phones act as bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. Keep banking/secret stuff seperate/more secure during travel. Keep one in a locked tilt/swivel stand near bed most of the time. mod to alternate os.

2 or 3 phones is much more storage/ram and audio quality than including a tablet, with better portability options in both packing and daily use. It’s also much less $, and can leapfrog upgrades.

There is no magic conclusion that can be made from “they are just token prediction machines”. There are reasoning and search agents and other tools that can improve the final right answer token prediction. There are other ML tools and hardware innovations to make them faster, and so “think longer” before giving an answer.

These tools are likely to keep improving their “correct answer rates”, without ever achieving a “0 dumb error rate”

This is a rant about opt out not being perfect, afaiu. Firefox still provides better AI control than alternatives, in that you can choose the model, including a private one. Is this wrong?
