  • Buying a new car has become unaffordable for a growing number of Americans. The auto industry is worried

  • Slate promises to be analog

  • Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant

    Jump

  • The problem is this is the way it’s being pushed. This is how it’s being sold. There are no guardrails.

    ….. and that’s the biggest problem. I’m frustrated as hell on the commits I’ve had to unwind because someone doesn’t know how to check the changes before committing, then has it try to fix itself, again without checking on the changes , then again. It’s horrible.

    ….. and I’ve seen it too. Trying to have it do only code reviews - the ai points out useful things but then wants to commit a crapload of changes without going over it with me first.

    …… and people are playing with mcp agents, which are really great for letting the ai get data from systems and integrate with those systems . But with few to no guardrails. There’s no no review, the user doesn’t necessarily follow what’s changing, it just gets done. Sometime badly very badly

    We’re all focused on whether the ai works, and it does do a pretty good job with coding but the tools don’t keep the human in the loop, or humans don’t know how to stay on the loop

  • Most Americans think their fellow citizens have poor morals

  • I’m fully ready to believe those gullible uneducated rednecks are acting in good faith, after falling for the most vile manipulative hate speech

  • So they’re responding by making more affordable, efficient vehicles, right? Adopting new technology, right? Right?

  • Immigration reporter detained by ICE after dropping off her eight-year-old daughter

    Jump

  • There are still those who believe in law, still those who uphold justice, still those advocate for human rights. We need all the heroes we can get to turn the tide, and this is the groundwork for an eventual return to normalcy.

    The current president holds himself and his sycophants above the law, current Congress enables a constitutional crisis, some Supreme Court justices are corrupt or ignorant, it seems like a lot, but this too shall pass. Some of them will escape justice by age or wealth, but the pendulum will swing back and at least a few will face the law

    Fred Roger’s said “always look for the helpers”, but it’s also true in reverse. The current dystopia could not be happening without the help of the mean, spiteful, vile people helping to vote for it and implement it. They don’t have the wealth to stay above the law and their “free ride” ends in three years. They can and should be brought to justice. They need to be made examples ofdo the next time fascists arise, the helpers think twice

  • Why the Doomsday Clock has outlived its usefulness

    Jump

  • I agree here. During the Cold War, the doomsday clock was literally doomsday. It measured how close we appeared to be for society-ending, humanity destroying all out war between two nuclear powers, each with several times the nuclear weapons needed to end us all.

    Now we’re in constant war, threat of constant war, endless instability, and yes, the American government is one of the biggest factors in recent reductions to global stability. We’re actively making things worst, from at least trying to do the right thing. It’s surely a catastrophe to the people affected, we’re talking hundreds of thousands to millions of unnecessary deaths, we can’t minimize that …. But it’s not an end of humanity level threat.

    I don’t know what would be more effective imagery, but we’re closer while at the same time farther from catastrophe, so maybe it’s time to move on

  • The banality of surveillance | On an internet where everything is tracked, our privacy is maintained mainly because our data is too boring and time consuming to sort through. But AIs don't get bored.

    Jump

  • This was likely the case before ai as well. Collect the data, aggregate the data, we’ll find uses for it later.

    I actually had this conversation with a startup company in the 2000’s. Their user profile forms were a mess so they were looking for help to fix the, and secure the data. But the root cause is they were collecting a ton of unnecessary data with no validation, verifiability, or constraints

    Me: why are you collecting all this data?

    Them: we might need it later

    Me: so you don’t have a use now and you’re not making any effort to make the data clean enough to be useful. The best fix is to just stop collecting most of this

    Them: no

  • Immigration reporter detained by ICE after dropping off her eight-year-old daughter

    Jump

  • So an illegal “warrant” trying to scare her into surrender, putting her on list for an illegal warrantless arrest and depriving constitutional rights, because she reported on things uncomfortable for the current administration

    I have to say that I hope this is entirely true, because it seems like a slam dunk case for her, egregious enough to hopefully force change

  • ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’

    Jump

  • Everyone should read at least the first half of that article. This person is a true American hero, overcoming oppression, standing up for others rights, showing bravery against tyranny.

    Where’s her goddamn medal?

  • Iran Hits Key US Radar, Deepening Gulf Missile Defense Woes

    Jump

  • Huh, the battery only has one radar and there are only 8 worldwide? That seems like a self-own

  • 10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips

    Jump

  • I wonder if ai can actually help here. As the industry abandons consumer hardware in favor of datacenter equipment to profit from the ai bubble, perhaps ecc memory will become cheaper

  • I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.

    Jump

  • I remember the rise and fall of icq. I laughed from the real internet as you kids played, knowing it was a fad wouldn’t last, not worth taking seriously.

    I played online before the internet, when it was scattered individuals, or when you needed access to separate telenet and arpanet, when you could keep in your head all the accessible nodes, when the building blocks you take for granted were all new and exciting ideas

    Now get off my lawn

  • 40% of global ship traffic is simply moving fossil fuels around! Reduction and renewables could make much of this traffic obsolete

    Jump

  • Going back to sails is a cool idea, but I don’t see how it’s viable, nor will batteries be. We’re going to need to settle on some sort of sustainable liquid fuel for a few uses like shipping and aviation.

    Maybe this is even some good that can be driven by militaries

  • 40% of global ship traffic is simply moving fossil fuels around! Reduction and renewables could make much of this traffic obsolete

    Jump

  • Once per installation per x years. While battery and solar replacement seem like a long time, the massive scale needed for a global buildout will require a continuous stream of shipping. It’s not free and will never be locally produced everywhere. Obviously a couple orders of magnitude less shipping, but energy related shipping is not disappearing entirely.

    Actually I’d like to see someone do that math, out of curiosity. In a world with all renewables, does energy related shipping drop from 40% to 1%? 0.1%?

  • As Moon interest heats up, two companies unveil plans for a lunar "harvester"

    Jump

  • For sure, any longer term presence outside orbit will hinge on finding resources. And i don’t think it even matters if we’re able to harvest helium-3 or something that might be worth bringing back, but to be able to use enough resources to make it affordable. Every pound lifted from earth to outside orbit will always be too expensive and local resources much much more affordable. While it starts with shelter and radiation shielding (ie live underground), we’ll need to generate bulk consumables like water, oxygen, fuel, and we’ll need to grow at least some of our own food

    But we don’t even know if we can live on the moon. Microgravity has bad long term health effects such that we really don’t want to spend more than a year there. Does the moon have enough gravity to be substantially better?

    If we do establish a larger off earth presence, we’ll have to compromise on enough gravity for long term health and livability vs as little gravity as necessary to keep space accessible

  • As Moon interest heats up, two companies unveil plans for a lunar "harvester"

    Jump

  • I agree that large colonies are an enticing science fiction image that doesn’t look likely.

    But we’ve proven that we can support an “international space station” to maintain a continuous scientific presence in space. A great next step is the same but on the moon. It seems quite possible with relatively little technical development. This is desirable to advance our technology, our science, our society, to use our imagination to look forward , to have hope, to see a positive future for humanity.

    Here’s the problem with fixing local problems first: you can’t. You either stagnate, looking within, looking behind, looking down, and still have the same local problems or you take a portion of your civilizations product and also move everyone forward.

    Here’s the problem with using those resources: it’s not enough to matter. The space program is a tiny percentage of the government budget, almost invisible next to what is needed to fix our problems. If you want to fix our local problems, it starts with social justice, environmental justice, safety nets, quality of life and most importantly equity in taxes, and greatly reduced income inequity. Elon musk’s wealth will soon be 40x NASA’s entire annual budget yet is barely taxed. If we were able to tax one persons wealth at a mere 2.5%, we could fully fund NASA at no cost to anyone else. Most of us pay a lot more than 2.5% of our income so why is he excepted?
