- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 2 days ago:
The upgrade cycle on iphones is longer than that on android. $1200 flagship samsung phone turns to shit after 2 years. $1100 iphone keeps chugging for 4-5. The android rot is real. Apple is far from perfect but the phones last way longer on average and end up having a lower cost overtime. That is if youre not buying bottom of the barrel budget phones to compare against.

Rick Perry said “Energy is energy is energy” and pushed to modernize the grid. It had some successes like lots of generation from renewables. But no new nukes and the coal plants still chugged along.

You’re 100% correct. The whole point of burning a fuel is to release its energy and oops we have byproducts. Well the second law of thermodynamics explicitly states that if you want to put that CO2 back, you’ve got an energy cost which is *crunches numbers* roughly the same as that released when you burnt it in the first place.
That being said, if we had some purely green energy sources then it is a laudable goal that could help reduce the harmful effects of climate change.
Personally I think harvesting CO2 in the ocean is the way to go. It already absorbs tons (gigatons) each year. We just need to figure out a way to coax that dissolved CO2 to fall out of solution as lime without waiting on a geologic timescale for humanity to get murdered by sentient iguanas that love the heat.

There’s actually a new kind of gas turbine thermodynamic cycle that does in fact emit super-critical CO2 in a highly concentrated form that is extremely easy to collect and sequester. netpower.com/technology/
They’re building a 300MW facility in Texas right now. I’d say this is a really solid contender for a transitionary power generation while we stand around with our heads in the sand.

He had diplomatic immunity. They refused to prosecute because it is an international incident that would require dragging the Israelis to an the ICC just to get permission to prosecute him in their jurisdiction. That’s always a decades long approach in normal times - and with this administration of pedos who are beholden to Mossad, there’s 0% chance of it happening. So it’s often better to NOT prosecute and wait it out until more friendly times than it is to swiftly lose a trial and then be prevented from seeking justice by double jeapordy.
It’s part of why the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was such a shitshow. The prosecution team threw the case intentionally and made him immune to justice.

I really like that it talks about the ontological systems that are completely and utterly disregarded by the models. But then the article whiffed and forgot all about how those systems could inform models only to talk about how it constrains them. The reality is the models do NOT consider any ontological basis beyond what is encoded in the language used to train them. What needs to be done is to allow the LLMs to somehow tap into ontological models as part of the process for generating responses. Then you could plug in different ontologies to make specialized systems.

No I’m sure there will be an obscure shell script that someone wrote to do all of the install for you that will suddenly fail on a broken python dependency (because why not) and then leave your system in semi-altered state that doesnt really work wrong but its never quite right again

- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 week ago:
This should be common knowledge. I recall in the 1990s there was a huge push for truck drivers. Everywhere you went “Be a truck driver! Own your own business! Make six figures!” And only a decade later, employed drivers struggle to make ends meet.
If you see a huge push for a particular job - you better plan your exit.
