By the way, the real fun is when you start getting into the industrial equipment part of Alibaba. People usually think of Alibaba/Taobao as places to get like cheap clothes, but if you want a railway bridge launcher or a small oil refinery instead, Alibaba has got you covered.

@lulumeservey It works if the person is in the right and the other side has obvious vulnerabilities

Well-executed ridicule is a finisher because it does three things fast:
1) destroys the other person’s status
2) makes it humiliating for them to respond
3) spreads socially (ie: “Make your family and friends laugh out loud and sing along”)
Impossible to defend against

This is 10x more impressive than Babe Ruth calling his shot in a baseball game

@halogen1048576 This is peak stupid. And it is also not journalism, because he became part of the conflict on purpose.

This is funny as shit but if you watch it carefully, it's a JDAM strike on the bridge. The reason it doesn't kill them is it was fused to detonate inside the structure for blast, not frag effect. They were hit because they were incidentally standing on the target.

My close friend and colleague Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve is nearly killed by an Israeli strike in Lebanon. Their vehicles are clearly marked as Press. They wear Press markings. He's alive. What more can we say.

I wonder if apple still does this. This prototype PCB appears to be a "proof of concept" board before it was miniaturized into something small. This is a great idea if you have concerns that your concept for whatever reason will not work. So, you build a simple cheaper version of it first to demonstrate that it does work before investing more.

@soychotic Windows was never this bad. Some hiccups, sure, but it is lacking behind macOS so much that it's scary.

They’ve just gotta be fucking joking at this point

Microsoft when they decide that, despite owning a product named GitHub Copilot, they’re going to rename bing chat to Copilot but also introduce another Copilot for Microsoft 365 which is not the same as Copilot (formerly bing chat) on windows or the github Copilot that they own

@jonatanpallesen I don't think this will be the outcome. I can see it going down slightly and reverting around 2050.
Making it symmetrical is absurd, because the postwar population growth was more intense than the current issue with replacement levels.

The total number of smart people in the world has just peaked.
And now it's about to crash.

They're pushing money printing to the limit, to perform equity capture. The problem is that they will keep their share during crashes, because it is all architected.
The tech sector is the leading market for those operations. Start any nonsense company, borrow money on top of the fake valuation, to invest in other people's fake tickers.

The positive thing about the acid dissolution of the West: there isn’t a single atom in my body that’s stressed about this type of thing anymore. The “nation” that accrued this debt has nothing to do w/ me. It’s the replacement population’s problem. Not my nation, not my debt

The debt passed $39 trillion today. Paying a trillion dollars of interest annually on this debt causes hardship for tax-payers and robs us of resources that could otherwise be used for infrastructure or national defense. And ultimately, this debt will enslave our grandchildren.

@e_considine @haugejostein This lot looks kind of sus. They were probably asked to build this to manage groundwater issues.

I live right next to the US embassy in London.
They built an actual moat around it.
Who builds a moat around their embassy? Countries that do bad things and expect retaliation. Or countries who do diplomacy as if we’re in the Middle Ages.

@haugejostein Can you show us on the doll where the building touched you?

@DispairSoftware Yes, this is why the picture is there, to shame Raghav

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Except as a rage bait, I can't see why anyone would make that point. No, AI can't make barely functional people do anything new.

@GregNotSure @jonatanpallesen Are you? The number quoted represents the top 97th to 98th of the adult population.
Just saying, don't get ahead of yourself faceless man with a cartoon avatar.

@TeaconomistT @jonatanpallesen Oh, you're not on that chart, it seems

@jonatanpallesen In a world of generative AI and robotics, does this even matter?
Today somebody with an 80 IQ can vibe code a web site, and use AI to deliver the marketing material and help with budgeting he needs to sell his farm produce.
