Journal Journal: Project Hail Mary 2026 is the dumbest things I have watched in a while 1

The story is really really really really really stupid. Every minute there was another thing, dumber than the one before it. Sure, it is funny sometimes and it is a tragic story but all the elements of it taken separately are idiotic, dumb, moronic. Water based dots that contain more energy than nuclear bombs of their size would while not being so dense, as to weigh hundreds of tons under Earth's gravity. These dots eating our Sun and at the SAME TIME being detected around all stars (but one

As you can imagine I am 100% against communism and any form of socialism. Bezos and everyone else must have property rights not hindered by government, it is his business to run (or his board) and government must not be in position to dictate how any company hires and fires people, who they hire and fire, why, etc.

I fully expect Amazon to close this warehouse, maybe it will be contaminated with something radioactive for example, to make things easier and then it will shut down. Personally I root for the anarcho capitalist solution and wish Amazon to win this battle for its private property rights.

Comment Toll roads could've done this decades ago (Score 0) 200

I've been wondering for many years before the first traffic camera appeared, why the toll-roads aren't enforcing the speed limits automatically. The time you enter and exit the highway is recorded down to a second. The distance between these two points is known — your average speed could be computed on the spot even with the early 90-ies technology...

The polite police officers would be standing right behind the toll-booths issuing tickets without the drama of hiding in the bushes, then chasing you at highway speeds...

And, yeah, you could lower it by stopping at a rest area — but it'd still be a tremendous disincentive to speed.

I was and continue to hope, that such universal enforcement, affecting all voters, would cause the limits to go up to reasonable figures — or even be abolished completely...

Submission + - Anthropic blocks Claude subscriptions from third party AI tools like OpenClaw (nerds.xyz)

BrianFagioli writes: Anthropic says Claude subscriptions will no longer cover usage inside third party tools like OpenClaw starting April 4 at 12pm PT. Users who previously logged into those apps with their Claude account will now need to purchase usage bundles or use a Claude API key instead. The company says its subscription plans were built for normal chat usage, not the automated workloads often generated by external clients and agent frameworks.

The move appears aimed at controlling compute costs as demand for AI models continues to rise. Third party tools can generate far more model requests than a typical user chatting in a browser, especially when automation or scripting is involved. Casual users likely will not notice any difference, but developers and power users who relied on those tools may now face usage based pricing.

One of the lessons we've had as the Federal, multi-branch nature of the US governmennt has frustrated Trump is that the government may be fucking us over, but it's not doing it in *unison*. It's doing it piecemiel, on the initiative of many interests working against each other, just as the framers intended. The motto on the Great Seal notwithstanding, there are myriad roadblocks to consolidating power in the hands of a single individual. It takes time and repeated failures. This is why the second Trump Adminsitration is worse than the first; they've figured out ways around things like Congressional power of the purse, put more of their henchmen in the judiciary, and normalized Congress lying down and letting the president walk all over them. It's a serious situation, although fortunately Trump isn't long for this world.
