I really need to wake up to the news that Ukraine’s Taurus missiles have blown the Kerch strait bridge to hell. It’ll make up for so much else that’s been going on lately.

And a lot of faceless people are also making excuses about how they never wanted to have faces in the first place, and it’s good that they’re gone.

Like the guy whose daughter died of measels. He said it was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life.

I knew that there would be people like this, but it’s still hard to grasp.

Volkswagen did okay. Mind you, only after Hitler’s empire had collapsed and Hitler himself had eaten a bullet.

Elon, if you’re listening…

It’s so perfect as a great and cherished state.

Wrong word, Donald. You mean “coveted.” You don’t cherish Canada, you covet it.

Republicans also question Trump’s strategy, noting annexation would add millions of liberal-leaning voters and complicate American politics.

You mean millions of insurgents literally trying to murder every Republican politician and burn America to the ground. Not sure why their voting habits would be relevant in the face of that.

I think a lot of Americans are completely unaware of just how fucking furious we are at this flippant talk of destroying our country and subjugating our people. Even a lot of the ones who are unsympathetic to Trump don’t understand just what this kind of talk means to us.

Yes, I said that in the next sentence after the one you quoted.

The key is that it still remains a two-party state. “Third parties” are not viable in this system, and in fact they are counterproductive. You need to swap one of the existing ones out, or gut it and repurpose the empty shell.

Yeah, this is the same sort of unhinged “they’re not a real country, they’re like little children that need to be taken care of” bullshit that Putin’s spewed about Ukraine over the years.

The thing that really concerns me is that it’s not just Putin. The Russian population as a whole fell right in line with it. And so, too, I fear the American population might. They just don’t understand the utter visceral rage Canadians are feeling about this treatment right now. They’re treating this like yet another goofy dumb thing Trump is saying.

No way in hell do we want that electorate anywhere near our government.

You said the article leaves out who organized the protest, not that the title leaves out who organized the protest.

Titles have limited space, you can’t put every detail in there. There has to be at least some expectation that people will read the attached articles, otherwise why not just tweet this?

Probably not. The “AS” in ASIC stands for “application-specific”, they are designed to be extremely good at just the one specific purpose that they were meant to be used for and if they’re good at anything else it’s sheer coincidence. In Bitcoin’s case that purpose is applying a particular pattern of SHA-256 hashing to a particular-sized blob of data. I doubt there are other applications for that particular sequence of steps.

ASICs likely get used in mining until they burn out, or until they’re supplanted by new designs that make them uneconomical to run in the face of competition, so they probably just get recycled.

Which is an application that generative AI is important for, ironically.

Nobody mines with GPUs any more, at least not for any significant blockchain. Bitcoin went to industrial ASICs many, many years ago and Ethereum no longer uses proof-of-work mining at all.

Doesn’t really work, Reddit has your posts and comments archived and if they’re selling access they’ll likely be including that. All it does is inconvenience everyday human users.

Those countries are big oil producers, even with the beating that Russia’s infrastructure has taken lately. I don’t see why they’d be buying oil.

“Never” is a long time. Technology is always getting cheaper, I see no reason why that sensing equipment won’t end up on a production vehicle at some point.

Why they aren’t announcing a third party right now, fucking mystifies me.

Because of basic game theory. The US is a two-party state for fundamental structural reasons.

That said, the identities of the two parties have changed every once in a while. Seems like they’re overdue for another such shakeup at this point, but who knows when it’ll come. Could be that the two existing parties have figured out how to stall that.

The problem is that Ariane 6 is already an obsolete previous-gen design, not one part is reusable. SpaceX is the dominant launch provider for a very solid reason and ultimately the only way to compete with them is going to be to adopt their ideas and methodologies.

This is silly.

Whether it’s “silly” or not is irrelevant, the problem described in the article is real. I have seen innumerable PDFs over the years that were atrocious when it came to the use of those accessibility features, the format’s design factors in to how people use it and people use it terribly. If plain old OCR were enough then this wouldn’t be such a problem.

Humans consume plenty of poisons recreationally, perhaps it’s the same for ponies.
