Idiots with bone spurs didn’t make it through the first challenge for leadership.

If it involves an issue you can’t just Google, it’s something AI can’t do.

No, but the plan is floating around to tax EU used data for foreign companies right into unprofitablily.

how you never have anyone who can actually “manage” the AI workers.

You just use other AI to manage those worker AI. Experiments do show that having different instances of AI/LLM, each with an assigned role like manager, designer, coding or quality checks, perform pretty good working together. But that was with small stuff. I haven’t seen anyone wiling to test with complex products.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken!

(Joy, thou shining spark of God)

It reminds me too much of these moments in RTS games, or Sim City, that time you got hit hard and you have to rebuild, but don’t have resources to build, but to get more resources you need to build infrastructure. It can take so long to get out of that rut, and that’s of you don’t get hit by another calamity.

Sometimes I think any policy maker should play a game of old school Sim City 2000 and we can all see how they do before we vote for them.

And see him do the angry accordion

And a flyover with a crop duster.

So because normal urges are repressed, people feel guilty, angry and start doing more if it.

Reminds me of how some of the most rabid anti-gay activists are caught pants down with another boy.

“This is the carrot. Take it. You really won’t like the stick.”

Rumour going around the tariffs would be delayed 90 days gave positive vibes. That rumour is already discredited though.

Yep. It’s giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It’ll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that’s if Trump isn’t doing his best to make it worse.

A number of places have a time limit. It’s all you can eat in 3 hours. There can be rules that you have to eat what you take, and when you take entire plates but barely touch them, the restaurant gets a bit annoyed.

From a European perspective, USA only had a right and far right party. Anything on the left side was killed long time ago.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

They’ve got some wicked “Off with their heads” vibe going there.

The American economy is like a classic Ford Mustang. It goes really hard on the straights, but if you run into something you crash hard.

The European economy is like a Volvo. It’s not really fast, not that maneuverable, but full of seatbelts, airbags and crumple zones so if you hit something you probably walk away.

Paraphrased from Mark Blyth.

Where is the tech?

In China.

Not that historica, so far it seems to imitate the 2008 financial crisis crash. But yeah, the financial system almost died then. With Trump, the whole global economic system could very well end in the wood chipper.
