Unaffected since I’ve never participated in the Kindle ecosystem. I’ve been gifted a few Kindles but never was on board with that walled garden. Fuck Amazon.

Welcome to the United States of Licking Trumps Asshole

tariffs are just a tax on the plebs. more money for them to funnel into billionaire pockets.

Maybe this explains why I can’t stay interested in most netflix shows I try. Or, maybe they just suck.

I didn’t have trouble paying attention during quality shows like Raised By Wolves or Scavengers Reign, but other shows that turn out to just be teen high school drama plus sci fi elements, or similarly predictable tropey fare, just leave me cold these days.

What’s FE?

I think there’s room for a rust-lite language that is GCed. Something with a functional-style type system and that compiles to machine code.

Roc is a candidate for this language. Basically Elm that compiles to machine code, but with a number of tweaks to make it work for more than just a web front end. Like Elm, the type system is haskell like, but simplified.

Still loving my 2002 subaru. Cassette adapter bluetooth is my entertainment/info center lol

Kinda rooting for the ULA sniper at this point

there are two 'r’s in ‘strawbery’

This specific tech is, yes, nvidia dependent. The game changer is that a team was able to beat the big players with less than 10 million dollars. They did it by operating at a low level of nvidia’s stack, practically machine code. What this team has done, another could do. Building for AMD GPU ISA would be tough but not impossible.

Some assholes gave congresscritters a bunch of money to get their businesses a cozy monopoly and special treatment. They were seeing AI as a profit center they could corner the market on thanks to govt-industry collusion. Looks like ginormous data centers and export controlled GPU cards may not be as essential to AI research as thought, and now the emergency is their stock is tanking.

God I hate these short format video things. Trashy content designed to be addictive.

Its talking about spiderman’s secret identity

Probably had a big fight with Jefferson Davis

the one where the democrats are the ‘party of slavery’ because of what the parties stood for in 1860. yeah that’s why I’m voting for Lincoln and the union this year dumbfucks

why do I want to carry a printer with me? no. this sounds more like a point-of-sale device.

A blockchain that uses proof-of-work would waste far more energy than it would save, just on doing the accounting. What blockchain do you propose using that would have a minimal transaction cost, in watts and in coin?

If we’re talking about local charging of EVs, I guess that would be a little like putting a gas pump in my front yard for my neighbors to use. Probably going to hit zoning issues if you open that up to general commercial use.

How does a ‘solar energy blockchain’ know where the electricity used to run it comes from? There’s no difference between 120v ac coming from a generator or coming from the grid, or coming from a solar array.

I used to keep a text file in each project, with todo items at the top and a ‘done’ section at the bottom. File gets too big, start a new file.

Now I use a note taking program that stores markdown notes with links in between them. Kind of the same idea, mostly, some notes are to-do items and others are lists. I have about 10000 notes in there.

what’s a rentry page

elect different lawmakers

Elect lawmakers that would pass single payer, like they have in europe. However, this is an unrealistic expectation in our modern political landscape. So we need to change the political landscape to make that possible.

• find a way to dismantle the right wing propaganda machine, or make one as powerful but not a fountain of lies. Difficult since the right wing has the full support of the billionaire owned news media. They are pros who have studied pyops inside and out and excel at it.
• join the democratic party and attempt to overthrow its pro-rich leadership. difficult. Is it really a democratically run institution?

create alternative orgs

create coops and/or nonprofits to provide better options than predatory insurance companies. maybe easier because its grassroots and small compared to changing our national leadership. There’s a danger of genuinely helpful institutions being outlawed due to mainstream medical lobbying.

direct action

we’ve already seen how successful propaganda of the deed can be. but will it actually produce change, or just lead to repression? it has at least communicated the extent to which Americans are disgruntled - not just the deed itself, but the overwhelmingly positive reaction to it.

general strikes, boycotts, other demonstrations might be a possibility. you need an effective campaign to get people on the same page.
