  • The only way to redress climate change is to stop pumping poison into the air and water, stop killing billions of animals per year, stop razing forests to make furniture out of sawdust and glue, stop eating diets that will give you colon cancer.

    As you can see, this must be impossible. One hundred million labubus must be extruded.

  • Canada paid for the entire construction and will be giving 10% of the toll revenue to the US until the 90% cut of tolls pays for the construction cost, at which point the tolls will be split 50/50. The ownership of the bridge is equally split.

    It's a ludicrously good deal for the US already. This likely comes down to the billionaire Republican private owner of the only other, old-ass bridge wanting to stall this one opening so he doesn't have to lower his own tolls.

  • E1 soldiers earn about $14/hr in base pay so this is straight up taking 3 hours a day of work out of their pocket. I know they get like $450/month for feeding themselves, but it's less than half of what this Freedom deduction costs overall.

  • I had a manual labor job in school and that radicalized me more than a thousand books ever could. Later I had mandatory ethics classes for my degree and that helped to put names on the thoughts I was having, and then the CTH sub put me on the path to

    which really put the nail in the coffin of my liberalism and has made me ironclad against the unending tide of liberalism that irradiates my career path

  • Hollywood Is Losing Audiences to AI Fatigue

    Jump

  • Truly boggles my mind that there's such a direct 1:1 connection between the slop machine that produces useless garbage and the value that people get from it. Even shit like John Freeman or My Immortal or The Room, just absolute dung heaps, have more genuine connection and merit than the very best that the slop extruders output

  • Hollywood Is Losing Audiences to AI Fatigue

  • I'm a software developer at a company that's gone whole hog for LLMs. My coworkers are cool. Even the managers are alright, up through to the directors who seem to have a moderately realistic view of the thing as "C-suite says jump, we ask how high" and are making the most of it. The VPs and C-suite are broadly disrespected in side channels like off-work group chats, and even at work they're getting more and more friction when they try and push their usual BS since everyone's morale is especially down after layoff waves.

  • Ime, software devs are split between "this shit sucks so bad I'm going to become a goose farmer" and "it automates some stuff" through to tech bros who don't seem to care how capable it is so long as they can label themselves a Founder and get VC money. Tech managers also range from "meh" to "it automates Jira ticket creation and I can look stuff up real easy". Tech execs are uniformly the dumbest motherfuckers to ever live and universally adore AI for its worker-eliminating powers. They don't live anywhere near the actual work and can't see how much effort is blown on making AI do things that are half as good as a junior dev. I cannot overstate how much executive brains are a fine slurry, unable to conceptualize that the tech is only good at making emails into the perfect corporate word salad. But that's all their jobs are, producing empty paragraphs of word salad justifying their atrocious decisionmaking, so they apply the same "understanding" to all jobs.

    It's like how those NFT freaks were categorically unable to understand why it's not a good idea to put home deeds and medical records on the block chain.

  • Your device receives a stream of compressed video data and decompresses and renders it on the fly. The tech is called Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH). Small chunks are streamed at a time so the server isn't wasting resources sending the entire video file, based on the bandwidth available, desired resolution, and so on. It's why a YouTube video will never fully buffer, it's just sending the next few seconds and then waiting until it needs to send more.

    Video is also really expensive. If we were still watching 360p videos it'd be fine, but as computers get more powerful and video serving becomes cheaper, we demand more. 60fps video. 4k video. VR video. And all videos must be stored forever and must start loading in a few seconds max, which means you can't use tape to archive cheaply.

  • There's a good 40 years of Lucasfilm letting just about anybody shit out a mass market pulp paperback about Star Wars so long as they get their royalty cut. There's a lot of slop and it was all canon until Disney gave it the axe. There's a whole book about Darth Vader's left glove because we needed to know how he blocked Han's blaster shot with his palm.

    Charlie Kirk spent a decade of his life promoting fascist hatred and got iced by his own side, and his death will be milked for a few days before he's discarded by the fascists and forgotten forever.
