This is a real problem. Imagine an AI computer virus swarm, with "Brain Bug" leader AIs building and releasing swarms of tailor-made virii to achieve certain hacking goals at a pace no human team of network admins can keep track of.
Hard cryptographic human-controlled Ident/Auth/Auth, encryption and signage is very quickly going to become a real necessity.
I don't fall for clickbait. But it's impossible to ignore the headlines, and sometimes it's fun to read how silly they get, like the UN chief claiming the Earth is boiling.
I apologize for assuming you meant personal criticisms. There's too much of it everywhere, not just slashdot, and I shouldn't assume everyone is doing it.
When slashdot started requiring logins to avoid most of the spambots, it annoyed me, and when I did finally sign up, my handle was my protest. It was amazing back then how many others accused me of hiding behind the anonymous handle.
... in font form.
IMHO TNR and Calibri are both shite, but I can see why one would want to go back to a decades old standerd.
As for calling Calibri "woke" - is this Rubio guy on crack?
Nuclear Fission isn't cost effective
The key part is pricing in the eco-balance of electricity and all other forms of energy and processed goods before doing anything else, like rebuilding fission. Until you do that, ecological damage will always be an unpriced externality and the market price will never reflect the real damage done and your math on fission will always come up short. Example: Meat and Smartphones would be roughly 4x in cost of what they cost today if the eco-balance were priced in correctly. And that's all we would need to do to fix our environmental problems in record speed.
What's the point of having a national military if you can't use it to pump taxpayer dollars into corporate coffers?
*scenario*
"Fox company, we'll airdrop a licensed mechanic and a licensed parts salesman onto your position around 0930, as soon as they finish repairing some stuff the enemy captured last year and make their way back to our side of the lines. Division says hold your position as best you can until then -- and remind the riflemen not to use their weapons as clubs, as that will void their warranty. It would be better for the overall war effort to let you position be overrun."
"No, Davies can't fix the autocannon even if your lives depend on it. Division says to shoot him in the arse if he so much as touches it."
Trump is taking about sending $2000 checks to everybody from tariff revenue. Where does he get that authority?
The whole pile of cards is rotten. Quibbling about which President is worse is just more clickbait, whether you like the word or not.
... in more detail.
EOM
> The President can only direct funds at his discretion if the Congress has allocated those funds for him.
Well, in theory. Biden tried several times to soak taxpayers for student loans without Congressional approval, and that was up to a trillion dollars all told. Trump kept trying to divert funds for his wall.
If you think "falling" for Trump's trolling over this measly export tax is silly, take it up with the many pundits both pro and con who think it is worth their clickbait.
I don't remember now, other than not being some hysterical TDS-ridden pundit. It may have been what was planned then, it may have been the kind of hints Trump likes flicking out, I don't remember. If you say it isn't now, I'll give that more credence, but everything Trump does changes daily.
US college is a joke, especially to young men. Raw deals left, right and center. You're more likely to get your life ruined by a guilty-until-proven-innocent sexual harassment accusation than finding a mate "for life" that isn't saddled with obscene amounts of debt like you are, ready to bail out once you've paid through the nose for both of you.
US colleges now trying to be "places of connection" for young men has to be the biggest joke of todays age of misandry and man-bashing.
If I were a young man in the US, college would be the very last place I'd be looking for connection these days. And for just about everything else - highly specialized degrees in engineering, CompSci, physics, chemistry and such aside - I'd steer just as clear from US colleges. As a regular young guy without huge amounts of money to burn you're way better off learning and working a trade than going to college these days.
Laughably overpriced US colleges are going the way of the Dodo, and they're feeling it. That's what this recent change of mind is all about, nothing more.
I do not think it goes into his pocket. But last I read of it, it goes into a fund controlled by the President -- a slush fund, in olden terms.
Just as he does not personally own the US Steel golden shares which were the price for allowing the sale to the Japanese. But the President personally controls those shares, and he personally has veto over everything US Steel does.
One of the alleged differences between socialism and fascism is that a socialist government owns the means of production while a fascist government "merely" controls them. It's a distinction without a meaningful difference.
The big picture point is, he claimed banning the export of those chips to China was a matter of national security. Now it turns out that paying an unconstitutional 25% export tax into a fund controlled by the President makes the national security aspect vanish. There are names for this kind of corruption.
... and that somebody as omnipresent as an LLM-bot would influence those way more effectively than a regular human should be of no big surprise.
Trump told us it was a matter of national security to ban selling these precious chips to China. Now he tells us 25% for the big guy can make that problem go away.
Sounds pretty cheap to me. So much for the Art of the Deal.
If I ran a business what would I need Confluent to do for me?
They're dragging buzzwords through the water, so see whether they get any nibbles.
