Yeah, this is a looong way off from a 1G burn all the way.

edit: 4.5 years to pluto is about the equivalent of a 0.001G burn all the way using this to calculate

Almost two years of non stop video.

Break it, privatize it, squeeze for every penny. That’s their business.

Fast, cheap, good. They’re going for 1 out of 3.

And bought the morning newspaper to read.

Then it’s still just a commissioned work

Seems like they wanted the web and app version of outlook to work identically. Some things don’t work on the web though, so they decided to cut features on the app until they were the same as web. It’s just such a corporate move.

I can’t help but think “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” with this news

“Sorry but I only have video about the construction process. All the cameras I’ve set up got fried when I’ve set this thing off, including the memory cards. It even messed up the magnetic tape in the old school relic we had as a backup. With that out of the way, let’s get into the construction. This episode is sponsored by …”

For cars, you’re gonna need something a bit bigger. Large coil, capacitor bank to generate a static field and some high explosives to disrupt that field to give the pulse. It fries the wires in a car. Single use only.

The finance bros tried that one too. Mortgage-backed security was the magic word. Cut up all the little mortgages, repackage them, and sell for profit. Then it all crashed down in 2008.

15 MW power needed, while a single reactor gives 500 to 1000 MW. The usual nuclear plant and power lines seem more likely.

Line in the sand? Going after political opponents. Censoring information. Dismantling media. Abandoning rule of law. Business and government mixing too much.

USA is speed running these.

Yes, as is already happening with police crime prediction AI. In goes data that says there is more violence in black areas, so they have a reason to police those areas more, tension rises and more violence happens. In the end it’s an advanced excuse to harass the people there.

That’s Stellantis. It’s the same company that’s building cards that are now showing ads when the car stops at a red light.

We used to call those the AI winters. Barely any progress for years until someone has a great idea and suddenly there is a new form of AI and a new hype cycle again ending I in AI winter.

In a few years, somebody will find a way that leaves LLM in the dust but comes with its own set of limitations.

They are in the end BS generation machines that are trained so much they accidentally happen to be right often enough.

Fedi could learn a lot from them.

I left Facebook because the lack of control, so I’d say Fedi learned.
