Unfortunately they don’t seem to be winning after that political investment.

What they don’t understand is Trump will never stay bought. They can shower him with all kinds of money and admiration, but then when they want something in return, he wants to make a deal right then, no matter what came before. And he wants not just for everyone to be satisfied, or dissatisfied, he wants to trounce the other side, make a one-sided deal that only benefits him - he can only do that from a position of power, which is why we have a trade war to begin with.

In other words, this won’t end until he is out of power completely.

Yep, the Biden Stock Market Crash, right?

That wont help them. If the person moves to CA, they can work anywhere. Even if they were hired in Minnesota, they go to CA and join Microsoft there, they can’t be held to a non-compete.

It takes years to get nuclear power plants online. Nuscale fell behind in development of their miniature plants. Biden funded them, but they will probably get turned up during Trumps adminâ¦and here you are ready to give him credit for them, even though he had nothing to do with it, instead focusing on drilling to solve energy issues, except we already drill as much as the oil companies want.

I think this was the answer.

Microsoft, had about six interviews over 3 days.

The issue I have with them is the severe lack of coordination to bring manufacturing back.

1. Tariff the crap out of everyone
2. Prices go up on all imports
3.?
4.??
5. US Manufacturing replaces the foreign goods that we were tariffing
6. Profit!

We dont have any plan in the *years* in between where we get $Bs in capital to build and buy the equipment to manufacture, then train US workers, then find a way to underpay them in order to make products for only a lot more than they did overseas, instead of double.

That is years of work, decades maybe, and we just raised the prices on most of our imports so nobody has extra capital to get to step 5.

This isn’t smart.

Iâ(TM)m not sure forced is the right word, more like the venture capitalist owner saw that Southwest made $440m in bag fees and Delta made $1.7b.

It’s because of the chaos of the people involved. They rely on flooding the zone, so that discussion is hampered.

Did Elon say it because he really thinks that deorbiting will save some maintenance costs? Who knows anymore? He’s moved on to other things and probably wont address it, already saying incorrectly that the astronauts were there for political purposes (he thinks they said NO to make him look bad, not because it was a waste of resources, they had planned for the contingency.

But then Elon had to make some controversy to make him look better in the exchange, and then immediately (probably since he was thinking about it) went to deorbiting the ISS.

This company won the contract to do that. It will take years of planning, I didn’t hear from him “Space-X has a plan already in place to deorbit ISS and reduce costs”, no, he just threw out insults and then an ultimatum. Why should we keep giving him the benefit of a doubt, that his reasons are genuine?

“New jeeps” you mean since 1986? You know that the Wrangler has been produced for about 1 year less than the CJs existence (1944 - 1986; 1986 - 2025). It’s kinda weird to complain on a tech blog, that new technology has been introduced in the vehicle over the past 40 years.

Yeah, you are’t going to find any manufacturer of anything using the same design and materials that they did in the 1940s.

Yeah, I agree that this new computer capability really sucks for artists, especially those focused on mass media, but it doesn’t mean its illegal.

I’m not sure where in the copyright law it outlines protections around anything or anyone looking at a lot of art and mimicking its style to produce a different piece.

As others have said here, it’s similar to how human brains work. Learn, mimic, and refine your skills until you develop your own style - except others analyzing your style would recognize components “lifted” from those you learned from.

There’s no completely unique ideas. They are all built on prior art. It’s only the degree of novelty do we find value.

IoT with cloud is ok, as long as there is a local controller that does all of that in real time. You can use the cloud interface to monitor/update remotely, but the power all has to be local.

Funny you are reaching to defend only because itâ(TM)s âoeyour sideâ - if any org gave a company money to buy something, and they shut down the program - youâ(TM)d want to know how the money was spent.

I guarantee you that a part of the contract to take USAID money was not hat they could audit you.

And they did because Starlink did something suspicious.

And now he has the power of the deep state, he did what you accuse the left of doing, using his state control to support his personal business.

But itâ(TM)s ok if itâ(TM)s Musk, right? If Hunter got the government to stop an audit on a company he worked forâ¦oh lol thatâ(TM)s right what happened there? It didnâ(TM)t eve likely happen and weâ(TM)ve been taking about it for 5 years.

LLMs aren’t knowledge tools, they are conversation tools. They are designed to be able to respond in a way that sounds right to people.

They aren’t designed, on their own, to provide information - that’s a side effect of them talking to you, they have to sound like they know what they are talking about, and sounding right many times is actually right. But that’s the crux - people are using them as information tools, which they aren’t THAT good at, mostly to your point - they don’t know the context of what they are doing outside of the calculations that tell them if people will think that it sounds right.

We are missing the information/knowledge system that can supply validated information too the LLM. Right now, as far as I can tell, we are training our existing LLMs using smaller data sets of structured, clean information that’s been scrubbed and reviewed by people who can remove/correct bad data, all with the idea that if they ONLY see good data, then they are far less likely to think something incorrect is the likely desired response, as they wouldn’t have been trained with that as a potential.

The funny thing is that weird big controller with a screen, was the predecessor to the Switch itself, they just moved the rest of the Wii into the controller.
