Comment Re: Faster, no. Multi-tasking yes. (Score 1) 67

If all code is written by AI, then no metric can exist to define/qualify a (human)  "senior" developer. Perhaps the biggest/fastest LLM will retain that "developer" title.  One "positive" thought. Perhaps the entirety of digital memes is toxic to humans, and should be as isolated from their presence like radioactive waste, rabies virus or black Mamba venom.

Comment Re:No longer vaccinated against fascism (Score 1) 245

During the American civil war, removal of  a grave evil -- slavery --  cost 650,000 American  lives. The tree was indeed well watered. You may argue about WW1 & its follow-on WW2. But, I wonder if removing the threats of collectivist political tyranny and globalist financial tyranny  on American soil will cost even more. The tree, after all has grown ...

Comment Re: Major potential loss for science (Score -1, Flamebait) 245

Racist, much? Hate whites ??  I'm thinking from Archimedes & Euclid  thru DaVinci & Bacon followed by Newton & Galilio to Maxwell & Gibbs & Boltzman onto Whitehead & Einstein thru Bohr & Dirac landing on Feynman & Penrose . Pretty white-streak there. Toss in a bit of Babylonian trig, Arab algebra, Bose & Ramachandrian , stir vigorously with war and pestilence and .... there's civilization. I haven't mentioned biology or chem ... or computing machines.  They are whiter than white. Unless you want to return to eating monkeys , hauling away black-plague victims and wearing grass skirts. I know bastards like you ... truly hating human effort, production and control over bitch-Gaia. Tuff tit Bosco. As human culture goes, white is right.

Comment Re:Then Just Say No to AI (Score 1) 34

Indeed -- just say NO! The "big 4" data companies believe they  MIGHT  succeed in forcing AI upon everyone as a behavioral  standard. A standard they create and they control. They may fail, but the lust for slaves/power  is so great "they" are willing to take the chance. Some flaw has been quietly observed? I wonder, what  (fails) have USA citizens done recently  ... or not done ... that impels  mercantilists to such risk ?

Comment Was there a shortage? (Score 5, Interesting) 79

I don't understand how decreasing import to the USA has increased buying in Europe. Was there a shortage and more was going to the US? Did they reduce prices in Europe? The article says "redirected a tsunami of cheap stuff into Europe", so I don't quite understand how the tariff in the US has increased buying in Europe.

Comment Re:What happened to evolution? (Score 1) 87

"If we truly believe in evolution, survival of the fittest, etc"  Darwinian evolution is demonstrably wrong. Genetic drift and macro-happenstance ( volcanoes/asteroids/tsunamis etc ) set the evolutionary "path". And that path is semi-Markov. The fittest/strongest/most-fertile/smartest/best-fed  survive with the smallest imaginable preference.  Edge cases do exist, like random-coil bio-polymers becoming rod-like in low-salt solutions.

Comment Re:elite it or slave worker (Score 0, Offtopic) 37

North Korea bad, but .....  that same fact holds true for outsourced workers in Mexico, Vietnam and The Philippines. Good for them and theirs and globalist companies. Bad for most American citizens. If a company lives in the protected American culture then they should by-law pay American wages. Ponzi ?? Hostage ??  Redistribution ???  WTF -- NO excuse for being a wage-slaving sociopath.

You must live in the tropics ! Imagine my house a toasty 30-C  as the blizzard howls outside. I then turn on my 200-W ( only a fool  INTEREST GROUP uses 2000 W AI systems )  Ryzen-5/GForce-1660  based system. And ... the climate does not change ...  nobody suffers ...  I feel nothing ... so do you !

And USA companies outsourcing to China (CCP) have been funding this project. I'm looking at you APPLE etc. Reminds me of 13-th Century Genoa funding the Mongol invasion of Europe ... for trade concessions.  Does the smell of traitorous self-aggrandizement get any stronger ?

Comment Re:My rural town (Score 1) 53

I see, so if they can pass the data center inflicted extra costs on a large customer base, then it is okay.

Yes, exactly. If my power bill goes up because a datacenter was built somewhere in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia, then I'd prefer the datacenter to be built where my local tax base can get revenue, in addition to employing people in my county.

Comment Re:EVs are the future just not LiON powered ones. (Score 1) 151

Gaia worshiping green-beaners do not care about your MS/PhD ( and they care less about mine ). They truly care not about EV or ICE locomotion , but are emotion driven haters of ANY productive human activity, any useful human tool . They produce nothing of value and would curse all to do the same; and wish all to return as "noble savages".  Walking bare-footed, clothed in woven reeds  while eating wild barley and oats from an oyster shell.  They're a toxic bunch of  karma-killing  nancy-boiz infesting /. like tics in a deer meadow. Where is DDT when we really need it ?

Comment who (Score -1, Troll) 109

Independent of WHO exactly; that is the question. Do unbiased experts exist in any field of human en-devour;what does unbiased even mean when even physical laws are viewed a model parameters instead of universal necessities. ? How much moreso Federal regulatory agencies that determine how much rat-shit a jar of peanut butter may contain or which border-jumping narco-Mex mule is really fleeing an oppressive government. Better just leave politics  and power to the citizens impacted.
