  • Not sure what you’re saying here.

    Are robotics good enough right now to suppress a population? No, clearly not.

    Will they be good enough in 10 years? Quite possibly.

  • Why do you think the global rich list is so busy investing in robotics?

    Before, when things to too far, even the soldiers would revolt.

    Now, all you need is electricity to suppress the population.

  • 'This game is extremely broken': The dev of VKD3D-Proton, software for running Direct3D 12 games on Linux, isn't enjoying Forza Horizon 6 very much

  • Trust me, as someone who started in the games industry 20+ years ago: Crappy technical shortcuts and tonnes of WontFix bugs to hit a deadline all happened just fine before AI.

  • I looked it up; you are right. Strictly necessary cookies do not need consent.

  • But functional cookies also need approval, no?

  • Cookie questions unfortunately are required by law in the EU so don’t meet Gruber’s own definition.

    That said the EU needs to force browser makers to respect a set of more granular “do not tracks” settings and then just read the “necessary/functional/settings/marketing” acceptance from there.

  • A Danish pension fund has blacklisted SpaceX, calling it grossly overvalued with catastrophic governance

    Jump

  • It depends if they invest it in funds that track the Nasdaq directly. If they do, yes then they’ll get dragged in for a fast pump and dump.

  • That’s because it bloody is.

    They’ve got one business unit making money (and to be fair, that business unit is making crazy margins) - Starlink - and one business that could be profitable if it turn down the starship R&D. But it’s so crazily leaning into “AI in space” for its insane multiples - and leaning in to achieving a dominant position there, when both China, Japan and other US companies are prepping reusable launch vehicles.

    I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole and if I could blacklist it in my passive fund I would. That said mine follows the FTSE Russel Global index, which only rebalances every 6 months and with much stricter requirements than the fast-follow Nasdaq funds, so by the time any passive investment of mine jumps on SpaceX its real value will be much more apparent.

  • Not sure why you’re downvoted for stating the truth.

  • I agree that you can tell if the whole code base is AI written. But stuff like dependency upgrades being handled by an AI is impossible to detect, IMHO.

  • Yeah I tend to agree but then I’m surprised how many people think GSuite is just fine!

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

    Jump

  • I’m not sure they are lying. Yes, they’re not E2E but I don’t think they claim to be by default, do they?

    I’ve got a large group of friends there, since high school. We presume everything we write is available to the Russians so we never talk work details or share secrets. It would be insane otherwise.

    We’ve tried to organise a move to Signal, but honestly its client is nowhere near as polished or feature rich as Telegram.

  • Maybe true in general. I’d love to hear about your experiences. I’ve worked closely to four CEOs. Only one of them felt like they treated people as objects. The rest were actually deeply concerned about how other people felt.
