Careful what you wish for, that probably isn’t out of the question.
That’s almost literally exactly what RCV is.

17·17 days agoNot to mention, the true resource cost of an AI comes from training. Sure, it costs about as much processing and power as a video game to prompt a trained AI. I can believe that. However it takes many thousands of times as much power and processing to train one, and we aren’t even close to halfway through training any general-llm model to the point of being actually useful.
4·22 days agoFuck yeah, heard. I’ve got a project to do tonight. Thanks!
Linux noob here, I’ve been running Mint for about a year and constantly bitching about my Nvidia card’s performance vs. Windows. I have the most updated closed source drivers installed, but cooking shaders on games still takes a half hour and many games run like trash even after precompiling said shaders. Space Marine 2 comes to mind, runs like butter on my Win10 partition but is basically unplayable on Linux.
Am I hearing that I just need to switch to Bazzite and this problem disappears?? Because on God I will do that literally tonight if that’s true. I had been holding out for a new batch of Nvidia proprietary drivers to hit the scene or else just resigning myself to having to buy an AMD card.
I’d expect that Bazzite and Mint would use the same Nvidia proprietary drivers without much noticeable change in performance, but to be honest I don’t know jack about shit about their back end behind the scenes processes so I could be wildly off base.
We don’t jail gun manufacturers either.
Be a lot cooler if you did

You run into a subtext problem here though.
Serving shareholders’ “best interests” is not the same thing as either maximizing profits
Making this argument to shareholders means you’re telling them “I wish to shrink your profits”, no matter what else comes after that comma that’s a non-starter for an American CEO. 99% of shareholders don’t give one Kentucky fried fuck about the company, they just want free money. You get between them and their free money and you’re gone, replaced by the next failing-upward ghoul in line on LinkedIn.
The idea of having a well established, respected and non-abusive company is no longer a reality in America. The stock market is a vehicle for gambling on shareholder feelings. It’s no longer about the company at all, just about how much you can hype up the company to then pass the bag along to someone else.
Wal-Mart shareholders don’t care if Wal-Mart craters into Hell tomorrow, so long as they get paid dividends and are able to offload their shares at a profit before it dies.
Double checked to make sure I wasn’t making a fool of myself, and yeah, you’re actually completely correct.
Chief Justice presides over the hearing and the Senate votes on it. The House of Representatives is who presents articles of impeachment and if they reach a simple majority, then bam, you’re impeached right then and there. But a successful impeachment then goes to Senate to vote whether the official in question is guilty and should be removed from office.
Interestingly, according to this gov page I’m pulling the info from (which may or may not be accurate anymore these days, who knows) a total of 21 successful impeachments have been run in American history. Of those impeached, only 8 officials have been found guilty by the Senate and removed from office. All 8 of them were federal judges. 3 presidents have been impeached, but none were removed from office - Nixon isn’t on this list because he resigned and ran away once the impeachment process began but before it could finish. DJT is the only president in American history to manage to be impeached twice.
Anyway, point being, if the president has either the Senate or the Supreme Court Chief Justice in his pockets, he’s effectively immune to impeachment. With both in his pockets he’s so immune to it that it becomes a joke to him. You can impeach him as many times as you want all day long until the cows come home, but if no one in the Senate ever votes to convict then it means nothing more than a nasty footnote on his page in the history books. Or more likely these days it means you’ll be picked up off the streets by the Gestapo and the impeachment will be conveniently left out of historical records.
Trump has been successfully impeached twice. Impeachment just doesn’t mean “removed from office” like everyone thought it did. Unfortunately the Supreme Court is who makes the decision about whether an impeached president is removed from office or not.
Bad optics, at that. Hegseth just created the single largest opsec failure that the US has seen in over a century and used it to complain to career military generals that they look too woke.
If literally any other man tried this at any other time in American history he’d be in front of a court martial so fast your head would spin.
They are actively under fire from fascists, and the rest of the world is failing to step up and help. They need what they can get.
This is extremely cursed and it will definitely have strings attached that no one wants, but in a question of survival vs not, I don’t blame them one bit. This is a decision centered around “we have to survive today to solve this problem tomorrow”.
Skip the merch, just set up a “think tank” or a “foundation”, you do not need to deliver a product to separate these people from their money
Do you want to go to a full war with Russia
Yes. Fascism must be stamped out internationally, and they’re in hilariously bad condition after sending millions of soldiers to die in Ukraine. They lose an average estimated 5,800 more soldiers per month. This has been going on for years. Now (or soon) is definitively the best time to strike back and this opportunity will not arise again.
Would you do the same for Palestine which is in an even more dire situation then Ukraine
Yes. Fascism must be stamped out internationally. This one might actually be a fight, but the only reason it would be one is because of the massive amount of funding and arming that we did for Israel.
They’ll try, and our current crop of government would allow it
Way to dodge the question, Chuck
