  • OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's finances

    Jump

  • And the cool part is that the USA stock market gains for the last couple years are based on OpenAI (and others) promising to buy stuff sometime in the future to build their data centres, which in turn spins into reinvestment in the company and a giant circlejerk.

  • [Video] Man pretending to be ICE officer assaults McDonalds employees

    Jump

  • “Pretending”. But they’re all masked and don’t have badges or badge numbers, so it’s more plausible deniability than pretend isn’t it?

  • Can you touch type?

    Jump

  • Proper form? Strictly speaking no, but I’m close. I learned on IRC, and can crank out an acceptable 90wpm - though that’s small potatoes compared to pros.

  • Now hit mute and you are all set

  • When I join a meeting with webcams on, it’s either someone trying to sell something or it’s beyond my pay grade.

  • The Wall Street Journal Gets Community Noted For Saying Gen Zers And Millennials Are 'Splurging On Rotisserie Chickens'

    Jump

  • It’s not that I’m anti bean. I know beans are popular as “protein sources” but black beans have a 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein. I’d consider them a source of carbs first for most people. Beans are a better source of protein than the new wave of protein-washed foods for example protein Doritos, or some “protein bars” that are like 20g protein 100g carbs 15g fat and it’s all mystery highly processed mystery ingredients.

    Probably still a cheaper source of protein and if it’s not salted in a can probably a lot healthier overall too

  • Password managers are less secure than promised

    Jump

  • Assume the breach - that includes your password manager host. Especially your password manager host.

    The summary is here; the linked article is a bit short on detail. https://zkae.io/

    I read the summary but haven’t gotten into the details on each. It is concerning that Bitwarden has so many issues, as it’s the only one that is offered as a self hosted solution in addition to SaaS - I do think it’s unlikely for a home lab to get the kind of attention that would result in using these methods against the vault, but it’s possible. Attackers have been known to go after admins. Lastpass has had their run ins with breaches before and shouldn’t score so highly. 1Password seems to have good architecture and a responsive team.

  • The Wall Street Journal Gets Community Noted For Saying Gen Zers And Millennials Are 'Splurging On Rotisserie Chickens'

    Jump

  • Costco’s rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw chicken in most places and I don’t need to spend money on utilities to cook it. It’s also gross, but when you’re poor you don’t get a lot of protein options.

  • An apartment caught fire yesterday in Queens, New York City. A man died because firefighters couldn't access the fire hydrant. A car is now parked on the same fire hydrant the day after this tragedy

    Jump

  • I’ve seen firefighters just push the car out of the way or break windows. Why not this time? Smash the window out, open the door, hook hose up.

  • Dutch Defence Secretary Boldly Claims F-35 Software Could Be 'Jailbroken'

    Jump

  • Edited. It’s totally possible to break the software. To reverse engineer it and make changes that keep it in the air - that’s hard.

  • Dutch Defence Secretary Boldly Claims F-35 Software Could Be 'Jailbroken'

    Jump

  • Anything is possible. I suspect it’s not possible on the level of complexity that the F35 is supposedly at to fully understand the spaghetti code that runs the thing.

  • A pardon for a price? How Donald Trump has reimagined presidential clemency

    Jump

  • He’s demonstrated that pardoning the wrong people doesn’t carry a political penalty, as was imagined in the past to be the case.

    Of course, he also proved that being a felon doesn’t prevent one from being elected president, and being a documented paedophile doesn’t push approval ratings below 30%, because they’ll just stop measuring.

  • The Toronto Police Has Been a Rogue Agency for Too Long. Rein Them In.

    Jump

  • The paragraph above discusses this:

    It is not a commandment from heaven that all police forces need to be treated like the military, where one rises through the ranks and only uniformed officers can manage one another. Few other institutions in our society operate in this way. This is what creates the “thin blue line” culture where officers do whatever they can to protect each other, even at the cost of the public’s well-being.

  • ‘A good way of dealing with overpopulation’: Epstein files reveal how the rich fuel climate denialism

    Jump

  • It’s distressing that this absolutely wild insane conspiracy of ultra wealthy Zionist pedophiles theory is… true. But not limited to zionists; they’re open to everyone with a certain net worth.

  • ‘A good way of dealing with overpopulation’: Epstein files reveal how the rich fuel climate denialism

    Jump

  • I remember someone who’s into qanon telling me how george Soros was funding Biden, and Biden was going to usher in a new world order with eugenics and restrictions on where you could go in your 15 min city and all that bullshit. And the Clinton’s were pedophiles yadayada. Only Trump could safe the world from the Democrat cabal of evil

    It was Trump and Epstein the whole time.

    (These nuts still haven’t come to earth.)

  • Apparently I can't just eyeball half the dough, at least I didn't have to clean the scale.

    Jump

  • It’s a little on the dark side for me but when you’re eating it, it is a pretty small percentage of the bread. The inside of OP’s bread looks lovely, but I might leave some crust, personally. Or dunk in soup and it would be excellent!

    It’s virtually impossible to burn bread, as someone early in my bread baking wrote. It just turns out being darker and crustier; the inside cooks much more slowly.

    I do find that in my oven and my taste, the 225°C or so that’s recommended is too hot and they come out being a little too crusty. So I preheat to 225 and drop to about 200.

  • Detroit Automakers Take $50 Billion Hit as EV Bubble Bursts

    Jump

  • One of Musk’s ADHD moments.

    I think battery tech will greatly improve. Internal combustion has been refined for at least 120 years and intensively since 1950. Too bad we were focused on one time use fuels instead of rechargeables/solar

    If I didn’t have that regular trip, I’d sell my gasser and rent a car for long trips. I already do that if it’s multi day.

  • Detroit Automakers Take $50 Billion Hit as EV Bubble Bursts

    Jump

  • Charging is very fragmented and generally uncivilized. The need for apps, the range of costs, etc. I think Aging Wheels’s video about long tow with his Chevy is telling - he’s an advocate for EV and there’s still special steps that need to be planned for.

    Plugin hybrids can really help with the long trip situation while also allowing full electrical function for short trips - and engines don’t like running for lots of 10 min journeys when they don’t properly warm up.

    I am able to afford (the cheapest available) EV for town use and it’s great for that, but I still have a gas car for trips. When I go road tripping, I’m a person for whom stopped time is wasted time. Fuel, meals, and toilet in 10 min. I’m bad at stopping to smell the roses. I don’t mind the option but I frequently do a trip that has no charging at the destination, and is 350km away. Easy to round trip with gas. Not so much with electric.

  • ‘What Are You Doing?!’: Georgia Cops Took a White Woman’s Word, Ignored the Tape and Locked Up an Innocent Man for 46 Days — Now He’s Coming for Everyone Involved

  • In those 47 days he lost 17lbs. Thats a kilo a week.

    She’s made 20 complaints in recent months. She should be charged.

    DAs are inexplicably judged based on the number of convictions they have. Perverse incentives.
