You can also do this with Lunar, or with the paid version of BetterDisplay, and they also support controlling external monitors via DDC/CI.

I personally despise MacOS, but the MiniLED displays in MacBooks have fully changed what I prioritize when buying displays.

It’s so much more pleasant to be in a bright room (or outside), but that’s only feasible if your screen can output like 1000nits of brightness which few can outside of MiniLED displays.

That not a cause, that’s a judgement.

Quarterly earnings reports are why companies are so shortsighted.

I care if an OS can manage the running applications and their windows in a reasonable way, which MacOS cannot.

Lmao.

,we have to submit tickets to run software because everything is installed through random .exes.

You have to do that because your IT department doesn’t trust you. There’s no difference in danger between a dev with system access installing an exe or a DMG.

If you’re talking the US government, then no, they don’t need political capital from the people, they just need capital capital and they can use that to swing elections and bribe politicians.

Regardless, some AI companies will inevitably survive. It is legitimately useful in solving a ton of problems that were near impossible before. Literally this xkcd. Now it’s not “I’ll need a research team and five years”, it’s “sure, easy API hit, we’ll just have to manage cost / use”, in the future, it will be “sure, we’ll just add a background task client side”.

If they lie like that peacefully and contently then it’s because they find it comfortable.

If they’re active and trying to get your attention, but don’t want pets, then it’s because they want to play.

I was like “ok what’s the principal”, then I scrolled looking for it and saw how long the article was and was like “Jesus Christ I’m not reading all of that”, then I started reading it and found myself at the end.

A lot more compelling of a lens then I was expecting.

I mean, we know for a fact that they used Palantir’s system for planning the invasion which is an automated intelligence analysis system.

That alone makes it entirely possible for them to have information and not know about it, on top of all the other existing ways that information can be compartmentalized, or thorough analysis and double checking can be skipped.

We do know that the US was targeting the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC), and the school is in an IRGC compound.

The most likely explanation seems to be that they intended to target an IRGC building, but instead hit the school. Whether that’s an issue with the missile’s guidance system, the plane’s targeting system, outdated maps, or a flaw in whatever process the military is using to select targets, is unknown.

It’s of course, possible that the US intentionally bombed a little girls school, but it seems somewhat unlikely. Even the most hawkish war mongerers recognize that randomly slaughtering hundreds of school girls is not going to gain support for your war.

Also a fair point

Why the hell would you sail a warship around without any munitions…?

Because they were invited to an international naval exercise that required them to be unarmed…

Yeah, no one’s arguing that whoever was ordered to push the button was ordered to push the button, the point is that it was a shitty order to give.

It’s also rich to be like “we had to attack them, we’re at war”, when you illegally and unilaterally started the war several days earlier.

I mean fair point, I can’t find any info on whether or not anyone verifies that the ships are unloaded or if it’s self reported. And it does seem unlikely that a nation would let another country inspect it’s warship.

If they had no intelligence of the ammunition situation (doubt) it could be risky to try to board a warship.

I mean, there’s literally no way the US didn’t know it was on the way back from an ammo-less exercise. The Indian naval exercises were very public, with 74 countries participating.

Wow that’s fucked up on multiple levels.

1. to attack a literally defenseless warship … Could you not have, you know, boarded it instead? Forced it to surrender? Feels like at that point you can just threaten to do what you did and they would have to comply.

2. if you’ve seen the released periscope footage of the attack, and realize that that explosion was fully from the torpedo and not from an ammo store blowing, it makes it look that much more like an intentional massacre. Is there really no smaller munition on board that sub that can be used to disable a defenseless target?

Self-Driving works decently in predictable environments but anything outside of those limits can make it literally crash and burn.

Public road transportation by individuals just has too many cases where real decision-making is required.

Despite all their resources, I think they’ve given up. All the brilliant engineers and scientists have given up, because they know what we’ve suspected for a long time.

I mean, Waymo is still actively expanding to new cities and expanding its coverage areas within cities.

Tesla may have given up on the consumer market for that reason if they were banking on a super llm based self driving system, or it could just be because they got burned when Elon rallied consumers against them.

Like, so much insanely cleaner than your food.

Sewers are the giant pipes with all that air at the top.

Your water pipes are filled almost the entire time, and the trunks are literally constantly flowing. There’s little to no air for anything to grow with, and at the very beginning there’s almost no bacteria since it’s treated water being pumped in. All on top of the that copper is a natural sterilizer.

Tha’ts more of a goal than a plan.

We should do this regardless

I mean, what’s your alternative competent plan for dealing with the cartels?
