Is it easier to secure, monitor fewer, bigger reactors or thousands of* small ones? Accidents are still going to happen and I know which scenario makes more sense to me. Especially in light of Trump’s recent push to deregulate nuclear energy, kill the EPA, and pretty much any other kind of sensible management efforts of technology that is great until something goes wrong then it quickly becomes a multi-generational clusterfuck.

Solar, batteries and long-range transmission infrastructure just makes too much sense I guess.

The focus appears to be entirely on tariffs which have solely been a tool for Trump to extort various countries, they don’t seem to really stick around or stay very high for very long.

I have not heard the Feds say a word about the AI-bubble’s affects on the economy. Ignoring the great sucking effect that it has had on private and public capital as a whole, the RAM/storage price situation is going to show up in pretty much everything that needs a computer and I don’t see anyone at the Fed factoring that in. It will(and already has) hit everything from consumer PC/gaming/TV/SmartPhones but also Cloud providers, Automotive, Infrastructure technology. Remember that it is not just those who want to replace or upgrade old tech(these could wait in theory) but also applies to repairs for things that can’t wait.

If you cut rates now or too soon, asset(house) prices will sky rocket due to private capital (smart money) fleeing the AI-bubble and rushing into housing. Then you will have a situation that is somehow worse than the present.

I don’t really think that rate cuts will do anything to address AI-layoffs, offshoring of hundreds of thousands of good paying tech jobs and manufacturing jobs, or labor jobs that immigrants(illegal and ‘legal’ ones) have taken from the natives. We need sweeping policy reform to bring all of that work back. It will push wages up(and hopefully margins down) and least begin the process of undoing decades of wage dilution and price distortions.

Darwin just getting ever more creative over time.

Straight out of the NSA ANT catalog aka LOUDAUTO and others.

The Colorado River will soon be the Colorado Ditch.

If you have ever spent any significant amount of time in Louisiana you’d understand why they might be running out of room in the current amount of prisons.

If you haven’t, sort by homicide.

This is like that part in Don’t look up when the Jennifer Lawrence’s character tells her BF to wait 6 months before she meets his mother.

Because every single foreign government hacks every other foreign government every single chance they get. If I get any say in the matter I’d rather keep my list of enemies as small as possible(aka only the US government). Most rational people would agree with that. At least you have some say in accountability for the US government, in theory at least.

I feel like every time this topic comes up people forget all of this and also forget that China’s energy, automotive, literally every industry in China is controlled by PRC/CCP, 100%. Even the US/China joint ventures have to follow rules laid out by the PRC/CCP.

The logistics accolade that you mention here is wartime logistics. That is ability to get the bullets and bandages to the places and people that need them all in a timely manner. The US is good at this because we have bases and transport logistics everywhere.

Military supply chain logistics(multiple sources for stuff, supposedly US companies…) is absolutely a consideration as well but this concept has been hallowed out over time. What used to be locally sourced materials and manufacturing by American companies is now much more dependent on overseas labor/materials. These ‘American’ companies might have corporate offices here and the c-levels, marketing/sales teams live here but all of the actual product is sourced/made in Mexico, Canada, China, India, Vietnam, etc. There are definitely specific industries like aerospace that still make a lot of stuff here but that is a small fraction of the larger whole.

We’ve already been providing direct subsidies and tax subsidies for all of these companies for decades. Nothing comes from it and as a member of the tax bracket that actually pays taxes I am not willing to keep doing it. If we need to nationalize truly mission critical companies I would rather just do that instead of continuing to privatize profits and socialize costs.

Everyone seems to have thought that is was a great idea to let pretty much every core manufacturing competency die in the US over the last 30 years or so. How’s that working out for us now?

The blame is at least as old as Reagan, really accelerated with Clinton (NAFTA, China entering the WTO) and only got worse from there.

As much as I hate to admit it, tariffs are the answer. I also think that it’s important to understand that Trump’s tariffs exist only for extortion and bribes that benefit him personally. Tariffs can be used to encourage domestic production of goods and services that are clearly not something that we want to depend on other countries for merely for the sake of enriching the same circle of already rich assholes in perpetuity. Rich assholes would just have to keep resorting to pumping up immigration to suppress wages for these domestic goods, like they have always done for hundreds of years at this point.

It seems to just be more attack surface for very little actual gain on JS. At least with JS I have NoScript, Ublock and some actual say over what loads/runs on my box. For this reason, I usually just disable all wasm/webgl/webrtc until I find out that I actually need it which for me is basically never or only for very short periods.

So if AI is running fuzzers to find bugs, credit should go to the fuzzers, not the AI.

Please stop reposting the Anthropic shit posts. This is pure advertising spam from a disreputable company.

Based on the relationships he maintained, Ehud Barak, Robert Maxwell, and others … Epstein having ties to the CIA is a given. People who have worked in the US Government understand how much Israel is embedded within the cyber/intel aspects of it. It is difficult know where US/Israel ends. Any intel agency would kill for the photos/videos that Epstein appears to have amassed with his VIP guests as they ‘partied’ with minors and each other.

The content produced by humans was scraped en-masse for the explicit purpose of training models which were then monetized into business products.

I struggle to reconcile that with Fair Use.

I can see if the source was EULA’d to remove all rights to what you post to things like Reddit, Stack Overflow, and if somehow those entities were contacted ahead of time and negotiated usage. You, I and the web server logs know that this was almost never the case.

unbelievable sadness

So the thing with useful quantum computers is that if they ever do make it actually work and manage to scale it up, the first thing they will do is render most modern encryption obsolete over night. My guess is that Bluffdale has a mountain of encrypted data they’d start cracking immediately.

My cynicism can’t allow me to think that we’d hear about it until years after that backlog is cleared and the NSA (and now by extension Israel and Russia) have backdoored any network of interested 10 times over.

The far more likely scenario is that this like stable/cold-ish Fusion, practical graphene, CRiSPER miracle cures are still way more theory than driveable cars at this point and for next several years at least. These folks just want more money and have to keep claiming they are close to get it.

Prolific cannibal promises to review their choice in seasonings to be more tactful as they continue to feast on PC users’ privacy, freedom and last scraps of digital dignity on a global scale.

I am sure that this empty promise of change has everything to do with their user empathy and absolutely nothing to do with their recent financial results which indicated how hollow their AI-slop-bullshit revenue growth was last quarter.
