Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Compliance requirements for those rule changes don't kick in until 2030, so I think it's just the manufacturers taking the opportunity to lower costs and blame duh gubmint for lower quality

Everything is Shit: Tracking the Great Enshittening
Fintech is a pretty broad category, but it makes sense that they'd be going all in on the latest tech trends. That's how they groom themselves for PE buyouts, which is always the endgame. And to be fair, most "coding" work isn't actually writing code. It's aligning with business partners to understand what is impactful for their operations, and crafting code to meet SLA at the lowest cost possible. Most of the time and effort isn't writing what's probably just a few hundred to thousand lines or code. It's making sure that the code that's written and services implemented will actually do something valuable for either the business or your customers. I have seen loads of useless services built and quickly abandoned just so IT managers and promotion seekers can claim they're doing good work, when they're really just making busy as a pickme tactic

One step further - serving your $30/mo subscription is costing Anthropic a whole shitload more than $30 a month. They're burning money to lose money

Yep there's uncaught rerence errors and an uncaught type error loading this page (posting this from my phone, screenshot from my desktop) Edit: wow that screenshot is missing pixels. Lmk how you'd like the error logs, if you want em

I still can't post on desktop chrome from windows 11, the theme doesn't look like it does on mobile, and none of the banners or clickables on the page respond. Surly is whitelisted in all of my js blocking stack and I've done a hard cache refresh a couple times and it seems stuck on some old CSS style or something. I can't view notifications, or open the reply widget in a thread

Add in a VR headset and baby you got a sim goin! I used to play Elite Dangerous with some friends that way, it was a blast

Gun Control
It is disappointing that shitheads get a free pass like that, and are free to continue pushing their bullshit on the board without a paper trail of their past bullshit. The good deacon and most of the rittenhouse fan club have had quite a bit whitewashed and memory holed

I really wish they would remake TIE Fighter, it's too bad EA tried to turn Squadrons into a live service game

I wouldn't mind a smaller footer on mobile, or a way to have the bar be static at the top of the page so I'm not losing as much screen space or risk or mistapping when expecting a keyboard to pop up

Plus one to dead clicks on the desktop, windows 11 on chrome loads threads but I can't open the reply window on a thread. Posting from Samsung browser is fine

It's different when folks are presented different prices at the same time. That's pretty plainly discriminatory, and just a step away from arbitrarily pricing certain demographics higher as a social punishment. The "AI" angle is a red herring - traditional machine learning models were being used for that a decade ago, this is just a shitty extractive unsustainable business practice

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
You're right, I'm sure going through a trial and the public recitation of evidence would have done absolutely nothing and not been worth a single shit.

Fuck Merrick Garland that fascist enabling bag of dicks. He's like the Greg Davis of AG's, only lateral plays that go nowhere

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
Given how scaling works, they don't need to take out all the nodes to negatively impact the network. Take out 10 or 20% of the nodes, and you'll likely realize a greater than 10 to 20% degredation of the networks throughput and usability. Plus, if Russia decides they don't care about Kessler Syndrome they could just shoot a few canisters of ball bearings into similar orbital inclinations and that'll do the same thing

I mean, there's been a concerted effort by the presidents chief strategist to mobilize their grievances into action. Steve Bannon has been bragging about steering GamerGate for a literal decade now. Much of the poison that flows in the veins of the incels at discussion here originates from those campaigns and strategies

IMO the problem is that there is no place for kids to just be kids, outside of maybe church. And even then, church isn't normal social interaction. Has social media made that problem worse? Absolutely. But at the root, you take away cell phones and porn, what difference do you expect to see? It's loitering to hang out somewhere. Kids walking to the park get CPS called after their parents. You can't really exist anywhere without a meter running and running up a bill. There's no jobs for them to get and build those skills either - it's just a foundational undermining of the social fabric.

Show your work. How is Waymo using genAI and large language models to do sensor fusion and conduct a closed loop self driving entity? It's comparing apples and oranges - LLM's are trained on unstructured datasets and produce a multimedia output. The PID control loop that drives your car ain't that. I'm annoyed because you're equivocating LLM's with machine learning and closed control loop robotics like self driving cars. I'm annoyed because you're making the bull argument and saying you aren't. Self driving cars don't require hundreds of billions of dollars and gigawatts of power, because they're solving a much smaller problem. I get it, you want to be optimistic about the freight train of debt coming down the track. It's not gonna be pretty, no matter how much sunshine you pump about how useful it can be. Yes there's uses for genAI, but that's not what hundreds of billions of debt have been raised for and are chasing

Epstein and Maxwell
https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet 8/EFTA00025010.pdf This file contains an allegation that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raped a pregnant 14 year old girl on a boat in Lake Michigan in 1984. The girl allegedly gave birth while they were assaulting her, and her uncle allegedly killed the baby in front of her before throwing the body overboard. This is hosted on justice.gov and released by the Trump administration.

You're hand waving and conflating generative AI with self driving cars, calling them all """""AI""""" No. Traditional machine learning isn't generative AI. GenAI isn't a closed loop PID control for a couple thousand pounds of steel and batteries, and the underlying technologies and datasets are pretty wildly different. Fucks sake, you keep claiming you're not a genAI apologist and you're making the same fallacious and overly general arguments they do

It literally was, but the fear was of trans people existing and that somehow translating to child abuse. But ya know, voting for a serial child abuser and rapist like Donald Trump is just not something that seemed to bother very fine people. As ever, every accusation is a confession with these fucking fucks- Epstein and Maxwell
