  • So the tl;dr review of grokipedia is literally "big if true."

  • Does anyone else get flashbacks to that episode of the Powerpuff girls where the villain takes over the city and makes a law that "crime is now legal"? Because that keeps popping into my head for some reason.

  • I guess we're moving into the "take advantage of the mentally unwell" stage of trying to figure out a way to make money off this shit, also known as the Gacha Gambit.

    Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it pays off. (It pays off in human misery)

  • Count me as excited to see where this goes. Absolutely fascinating to see this guy dredged from the abyss of history and see how cleanly it rhymes with modern horrible. And to see that the inability of bigots to write a goddamn joke isn't a recent loss.

    Also the intro and outro compilations were beautiful. Very well done.

  • That sounds really neat for all of 30 seconds before your cat knocks over their water bowl mid-fight and needs your immediate attention, thus reminding you why pause functions exist at all.

  • The rise of Whatever

    Jump

  • I think that "Whatever", or maybe content(derisive) is yet another valuable bridging concept that connects the different threads of how we got here. If "Business Idiots* are the 'who' and "the Rot Economy/Shareholder Supremacy" is the 'why' then "contentification" or "Whateverization" is a huge part of the "how".

  • Just gonna go ahead and make sure I fact check any scishow or crash course that the kid gets into a bit more aggressively now.

  • Also, the Canadian army or something, but they didn't make this particular list.

  • The road is actually in Belgium you don't know it's not.

  • Sawing machine vs Sewing machine

    Jump

  • Machines with a lot of precision parts that need to hold up to the kind of wear and tear either a Marine or a maniacal quilter are capable of dishing out. So many layers of fabric...

  • We must go back

    Jump

  • I mean the Kharkiv offensive of 2023 showed us how effective tractors can be in capturing heavier-armored vehicles in certain situations.

  • North Korea, take notes

    Jump

  • Oh wait, there's one! How could I miss it when it's got an RCS as big as a 747! In fact, it looks exactly like a civilian airliner. Huh.

    Oh well, still a plane so missile goes bwshhhhhhhhhhh

  • These dames wanting inclusivity

    Jump

  • I mean, if you're talking specifically in context about people with vaginas instead of women then using the gendered term does exclude both women without vaginas and men with them who are probably a relevant group in that context. But seriously how often does that come up for you? How often is the most important part of the woman you're referring to her anatomy?

    And while "females" is probably just as accurate in most contexts it's also been poisoned with incel vibes at this point and it's gonna be some time before it can be salvaged for general use outside of specific biological contexts without sounding like you're about to unload a whole lot of baggage into the thread instead of getting therapy.

  • So the guys who have been burning almost as much VC money as they have water and electricity in the name of building AGI have announced that they're totally gonna do it this time? Just a few more training runs man I swear this time we're totally gonna turn everyone into paperclips just let me have a few more runs.

  • my ketchup ambitions have been ruined

    Jump

  • Not gonna lie, "enforcing the line between ketchup and tomato sauce" isn't the sort of thing I'd expect the government to be into, but I guess I'm not mad about it?

  • Now called The Astrofortress

    Jump

  • Gotta be cheaper than buying new planes which would also have new engines. Generally there needs to be a pretty substantial increase in capability before it's worth retiring an existing platform, especially in a logistics role where you don't get as much benefit from the bleeding edge because nobody's supposed to be shooting at you in the first place.

  • I think the missing piece here is that B-52 isn't just a pretty good cargo hauler, it's a pretty good cargo hauler that we don't need to buy a whole new airframe to get. Think of it less as "we're commissioning these B-52s" and more as "hey look we found a way to use all these B-52s we already had" only this just keeps working forever.

    FireWall as a Service?

    Jump

  • I mean a lot of the services that companies are using are cloud-hosted, meaning that especially if you have branch offices or a lot of remote workers a normal firewall in the datacenter introduces an unnecessary bottleneck. Putting the logical edge of your organization's network in the cloud too makes sense from a performance perspective in that case, and then turning the actual firewalls into SaaS seems much less absurd.
