A one day old account spouting bullshit a troll?

Putin gave NK one fancy luxury Russian car. Does that count?

ICBM is old tech but it has advanced a ton over the decades. It is insane how accurately the US can lob a nuke across the Pacific and hit a designated test target.

The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.

The Lord giveth and taketh away Red Lobster.

Bribes aren’t exactly a thing in Switzerland. I’m not saying there isn’t corruption but it’s not common.

That said they have to pay nearly a million dollars to the victims.

Same for Google Inbox.

Tom Wheeler. Sorry, I had to look up the name. He succeeded the professional ass clown that was Ajit Pai, seemed like another Republican Telecom shill coming from the industry to further errode the regulatory agency.

Turns out he had made his start in Telecom and the big players ate up his small company. He seemed to have joined them but he secretly had an ax to grind or at least the public’s best interest in mind.

Top notch guy. Greatest anime betrayals right there.

That FTC guy who went “ha ha! I actually hate the Telecom industry and I will restore net neutrality!”. Except he needed only 2 panels.

Gaddafi called for Switzerland to be split between its neighbors.

Who has the last laugh now? Don’t need with the Swiss and their dark, devious ways

Immortan Joe styles water delivery. They might as well add the “don’t get addicted to it” line as well.

They have trouble grabbing a next-door land neighbor. They aren’t going to do well in a fully amphibious operation squeezed between Finland and Sweden.

Add some rum along with the weapons for moral support of the Taiwanese defenders.

Self-driving cars are AI. And they are butting against the Pareto Principle.

There are some much nicer more modern ones for those not into the post-Soviet-Republic esthetic. The super-long articulated trolley buses are fun.

Some trains. In most of Europe, trains are electric and get their power from overhead lines (same for trams and even some buses).

On the other hand, many large ships are diesel-electric. And those gigantic mining haulers as well.

Breakthroughs are so interesting and the reason predicting the future of tech is so hard. Text embedding and “Internet scale” training are likely the things that allowed this AI boom and the amazing initial results.

I think many people see AI (and other tech) moving linearly from the current point forward but any software developer knows this is rarely the case. And no one can predict the next breakthrough.

It doesn’t help the hype and confusion around ML/LLM/AGI. And because on the surface LLMs seem intelligent people misunderstand their capabilities (much like politicians). They certainly have fantastic uses just as they are now but a lot of people are overly optimistic (or pessimistic depending on your point of view) of our new “AI overlords”.

Personally, LLMs are absolutely amazing at supporting me in my professional writing. I don’t let it do my work but it helps me play around to find a better way to express some things like if I had a sparing writing partner.

I guess he… dug his own hole on that one.

And he certainly wasn’t anti-crypto when it came to pushing his own lazy NFTs.

ATMs have tackled both issues for decades.
