Amazon tried this at Whole Foods…

They told investors AI was keeping track of what shopper picked up and charging them when they left, turned out it was just people in India or something individually following every shopper via security cameras. Obviously mistakes were frequent

It is, but we stopped teaching it literally decades ago, so what are kids supposed to do?

That was a victim of No Child Left Behind, along with a lot of other important shit.

Link is a little questionable, so I googled the names

They had been banned from the school already, had been banned from harassing the school online, so they started a WhatsApp group to manipulate other parents into doing the things they legally couldn’t do…

Yet with the sudden closure of Monolith Productions and cancellation of its Wonder Woman project, that particular success seems doomed to life in the vault. Though the Nemesis system was due to be implemented in the Wonder Woman game, Warner Bros. still owns the patent for the system, which stands with an expiration date in 2036.

The fact that a game mechanic can be patented for over 20 years is fucking insane…

It’s hard to tell if CNN doesn’t know, or is just biased now that the new owners want to be the “Faux News of the left”…

But it wasn’t foreshadowing, it was the beginning of a plan.

Bannon got into WoW gold, and found out how impressionable and angry young men were. So they targeted them with propaganda.

I don’t know about that specific movie, but my dog 100% watches TV, especially if it’s an animal or I’m playing games.

When he sees a dog that looks like him tho, he is paying an insane amount of attention.

So he definitely isn’t just looking for moving blobs and reacting.

But it depends on your TV more than your pet these days.

Do you know engines?

Clock speed is basically RPM. And core/threads are cylinders.

So a 4 cylinder 1.8L engine at 5k rpms isnt necessarily doing more than a 350 v8 at 4k rpms.

So the numbers do mean something but you can’t just pick the one with the biggest number either.

Tomshardware.com isn’t what it used to be, but they keep an updated cpu list of how good they are at different workloads.

Yeah. Who needs decades of experience when people on the internet know better?

Not like it’s ironic people people are doing the same thing Elon is or anything…

If Israel would stop killing foreign journalists…

We wouldn’t have to take Hamas’ word on death numbers.

Until Israel stops, we don’t have any options besides taking Hamas at their word.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re idiots.

But people are drastically underestimating how shitty government laptops are.

But what do I know? What’s decades of direct experience when someone online has a Jupiter laptop?!

Clearly you know more than anyone who actually deals with it

Speaking of, it’s my mom’s b’day coming up, you clearly know more than me so what would a thoughtful and bespoke gift be?

I think the big disconnect with that is government laptops…

If someone told me their government laptop caught fire when they joined a Teams call where two people had a camera on. I’d believe them.

But no government employee will tell you a story like that, because it is completely unremarkable and expected. It’s like a Park Ranger of 15 years losing his shit when he saw a squirrel…

If you’re used to using a gaming laptop to edit text files and suddenly you have to use a shitty $300 government issue laptop, it’s going to shock you.

But the solution to that is funding the government. I’m not a big Obama guy, but at least he gave agencies money for laptops. trump and Biden love cutting corners though, which just translates to paying people to watch a screen scroll by slower because of a slow laptop.

They skipped the part where after the war we took the nazi scientists too…

But the old nazis were really into science, modern nazis not so much.

I don’t think other countries are going to be chasing our science deniers like we chased rocket and medical scientists after the war.

If you believe Musk they can drive themselves to a dealership…

What’s fucking hilarious is Tesla is running a 0% down 0% apr loan…

Before the auto industry stopped doing those, they were sometimes referred to as a “crash out loan”.

Because you can get a brand new car for $0 for the first month, and collections move slow. It could be 6-12 months before repo even starts.

That’s not even getting into how common “thefts” of those cars happened as soon as they left the lot.

But even if it’s not nefarious, trumpers believe any day now they’ll be millionaires.

Best case scenario Tesla’s going to have a huge used inventory no one wants for a couple months payments.

Even if someone pays it off on time, Tesla still loses money on the financing. This is classic death spiral and it being a meme stock might not save it.

Quick edit to add:

People are protesting stores still, they need to protest factories. With a bloating inventory and no sales, Tesla is going to do stupid things to keep production online, be cause if they shutdown it’s a lot harder to start up when they still can’t sell any.

Factories shutting down even for a week or two could legitimately kill the company.

Diminishing returns.

4k on a 75in and 8k on a 75in isn’t a big difference.

Not to mention most streaming content is 1080 for bandwidth and tvs upscale to 4k. So while there is difference, it’s hard to quantify upscaling, and even if you find a store with displays, they’re being fed native 4k.

If you go to rtings.com or a similar site you can compare specifics and see that there is advancement happening.

It’s just not like back in the day when they could keep doubling resolution.

Just look up real medical issues and pick the opposite of what looks real.

The algorithms will take care of the rest because people who fall for it don’t just look up their own conditions, they start down the rabbit hole of “all medicine is fake” because that’s easier to rationalize than doctor’s are only wrong with their condition.

That’s why it’s so dangerous, you don’t have to seek it out. Those videos get high engagement so the algorithm shoves them down everyone’s throat

Which is why Republicans and neoliberals want culture wars.

Get Busy Committee has a really good song about what the 80s were like:

Shit was fucked up when Reagan was in office

Food stamps, government cheese, and cocaine

I never knew a single soul who owned a rope chain

Nice, figured it was a joke, but it’s a pretty good one.

The reviews are gold:

I couldn’t find a buyer for my Tesla and was concerned about the depreciating resale value and the overt racism. Thank you, Steal My Tesla!

The bill, which was opposed by all but one Democrat in the House, boosts defense spending by $6 billion and reduces non-defense spending by about $13 billion while also giving the Trump administration more leeway on future spending decisions.

Democrats have raised alarm about empowering Trump further while his administration’s Department of Government Efficiency, led by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, has been rapidly slashing government programs and cutting workers in a push to reduce the size of the government.

Neoliberals aren’t on our side.

Fuck right/left, we need to start thinking bottom/top. And the vast majority of our government are beholden to the top 0.01%. The reason everything is a culture war these days is they’ll do anything to avoid a class war.

Because 99.99% beats 0.01% regardless of wealth disparity
