Watching For All Mankind makes me feel bad for present-day Russians because even those Soviet Russians have it better.

I just started watching the series and I’m in season 2. I’m loving it so far, and couldn’t agree more.

I’m not even talking about myself. Quit bullshiting

Yeah, that’s shitty too.

They’re not evil, they’re not idiots.

No, they’re both. They know they’re spreading hate, and they find it funny.

I feel as if boycotting this election is the moral high ground and it’s fucking rude that people keep telling me it’s equal to voting for Trump

It’s fucking rude that you’re prioritizing a fake moral high ground over the lives of the people who will suffer and die under the fascist GOP.

You wouldn’t be the first:

Sad that she’ll being staying here, happy that at least in this instance we can’t export our crazies.

For me personally, it was easier to just write a few python scripts to parse the CSV files from my banks.

I switched over to this last month, and I’m already a fan of it. It did take a bit of time to port over my old shtitty excel tracking, and to write a few python scripts to parse the export CSV files from each of my bank accounts, but it is very clearly worth it.

One of the nice things is that it uses a SQLite db to store everything, so if shit ever hits the fan with one of my drives or the software, it isn’t the end of the world.

You can self host it so you can access it over the web, or you can choose to run it entirely locally. It’s pretty nifty, and I’ve elected to using it for the second option.

I’m not sure of the volume of that system, how to get it. But I wonder if man made strip mines like these would compare:

They go on for miles, are huge, and theoretically could go on for basically forever.

Probably not for a few decades at least. It’s only when today’s college aged people take power that it’ll get labeled as such. And even then, it’s not a guarantee.

Ignoring the myriad of other issues listed in this thread, the bit about training AI is pretty misleading. It’s not hard to scrape webpages for whatever kind of data you like, even if loops doesn’t outright hand things over for third parties for that purpose.

And the kind of people who are downloading the entire internet to train AIs are the type to be willing to just scrape without permission.

Like, you know he’s not personally involved in the design or manufacture of these things right

Not everybody does. I’ve seen some threads, mostly on insta, where people were fallomg over themselves to get on their fucking knees to slob on Elon’s nob. I get that the average insta user isn’t the brightest, but people like that do exist.

And it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, because there is a chance that the hard work of the engineers, laborers, and Shotwell will be used for Elon’s fame throughout history.

So yeah, fuck Elon. The tech is cool as fuck though.

Hopefully instead of turning into a bunch of e-waste, a bunch of “useless” desktops flood refurbishers, and refurbished desktops become even cheaper. I wouldn’t mind replacing my dying media server.

we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

So we’re sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

To be fair, some penguins aren’t exactly small

Not every GET request is simple enough to cache, and not everyone is running something big enough to need a sysadmin.

Near zero isn’t zero though. And not everyone is using caching.
