| IsambardPrince | "Because one of the benefits of having gone broke is I no longer care what other people think." | Nov 08 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | "Let's just imagine you pay everything off, you don't have any payments, and you come into work on Monday and your boss is screaming and throwing a fit. You walk out... 'Where are you going?' I don't have any payments, bye!" | Nov 08 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Bosses size people up during job interviews to see how likely they are to walk out because they don't need a low paying job with people who are screaming at them. That's why they ask you if you have a driver's license or a car, or family. They're not making chit chat, they're seeing how easy it will be to keep you broke and throw extra tasks at you. | Nov 08 02:23 |

| IsambardPrince | Keep Fighting! Itβs Working! Nearly Half Of The Data Centers Planned For 2026 Have Now Been Delayed Or Canceled | Nov 08 03:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Communities across the U.S. are pushing back as large data centers continue expanding into local areas. These facilities require enormous amounts of electricity, and many also depend on substantial water resources for cooling. | Nov 08 03:34 |
| IsambardPrince | An estimate from Sightline Climate suggests that 30% to 50% of large U.S. data center projects planned for completion in 2026 could face delays or cancellations. Power shortages, equipment delays and infrastructure constraints are among the factors contributing to these setbacks. | Nov 08 03:34 |
| IsambardPrince | Community opposition can also influence whether projects move forward, although not every delay or cancellation is directly caused by local residents. The growing debate is forcing communities, utilities and developers to examine how AI infrastructure affects electricity, water, land and local resources. | Nov 08 03:34 |
| IsambardPrince | As AI expansion continues, public participation is becoming an increasingly important part of decisions about where and how new data centers are built. | Nov 08 03:35 |
| IsambardPrince | ---- | Nov 08 03:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The one planned in Joliet was voted down in a ballot referendum. | Nov 08 03:35 |
| IsambardPrince | The local politicians didn't want to take the heat for passing it, so they kicked it to the voters. | Nov 08 03:35 |
| IsambardPrince | And the voters passed an ordinance that gutted the tax credits and revoked the building permit. | Nov 08 03:35 |

| MinceR | lol | Nov 08 03:48 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, My favorite line from Apple customers is "it holds its value". | Nov 08 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | No it doesn't. | Nov 08 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | You spend $2000 on an iPhone Duo, even if it works in 5 years you'll get like $100 for it. | Nov 08 03:54 |
| IsambardPrince | You will lose 95% of your money in 5 years. | Nov 08 03:55 |
| IsambardPrince | That's not holding value. | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | sure does | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | it had negative value when it was designed | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | it had negative value when it was manufactured | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | it had negative value when it was bought | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | and it still has negative value! | Nov 08 03:55 |
| MinceR | it's garbage. | Nov 08 03:55 |
| IsambardPrince | I could go out today and buy a Motorola android phone, $129. Use it for 5-6 years, admit I get nothing. I lost $129 of money for 5-6 years of phone. You bought an iPhone and lost $1900 for 5 years with a phone. | Nov 08 03:56 |
| MinceR | > if it works | Nov 08 03:56 |
| MinceR | if. | Nov 08 03:56 |
| MinceR | the bar would have to be pretty low for it to count as working even when brand new | Nov 08 03:56 |
| admfubar | unless of course you fold wrong and it breaks the screen | Nov 08 04:11 |
| MinceR | you don't even need to fold it wrong for the screen to break | Nov 08 04:13 |
| parsifal | ^Material fatigue is unforgiving, opening and closing it 100-200 times a day will surely break it sooner or later. | Nov 08 04:25 |
| parsifal | Whether it's the hinges themselves, the ribbon cable, or the crease in the middle of the display that will crack, or maybe all three together, this design is inherently unreliable. | Nov 08 04:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Some places are saying it can survive over 300,000 bends usually. | Nov 08 04:31 |
| MinceR | the rest of the industry has already developed this into something viable | Nov 08 04:35 |
| MinceR | crApple is too arrogant to just contract some random manufacturer that has already figured things out | Nov 08 04:36 |
| MinceR | and they don't really need to -- their cultists will buy anything that has a crApple logo on it anyway | Nov 08 04:36 |

| MinceR | given how much the IT industry loves to replicate crApple's malfeatures and design flaws, it's surprising that there's no app for a folding android phone that simulates the same pattern of screen corruption yet... | Nov 08 04:38 |

| parsifal | dust, omnipotent particles, lint from pockets, who opens and closes the phone with what force, sun, water, sand, side stresses from carrying it in a pocket etc | Nov 08 04:46 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Caruana Galizia was intimidated for her work and opinions.[2] The front door of her house was set on fire in 1996. The family dog had its throat slit and was laid across her doorstep. Years later, the neighbour's car was burned, possibly in a misdirected attack. There was a further incident in 2006, when the house was set on fire while the family was asleep inside. After Caruana Galizia started blogging, her terrier Zulu was pois | Nov 08 13:43 |

These took the form of phone calls, letters, notes pinned to the front door, text messages, emails, and comments on her blog." | Nov 08 13:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "In 2010, Caruana Galizia used her blog to criticise Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera, who, together with Herrera's live-in partner, Labour government consultant Robert Musumeci, went on to file a criminal complaint with the police, forcing them to prosecute Caruana Galizia in the criminal courts.[41] The case was withdrawn in November 2011.[42]" | Nov 08 13:44 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "In May 2017, Pilatus Bank's owner and chairman, Ali Sadr Hasheminejad, sued Daphne Caruana Galizia in an Arizona court in his own name and in the name of Pilatus Bank.[43] The case was for US$40 million in damages. Caruana Galizia was never notified about it, and it was withdrawn within hours of her death." | Nov 08 13:44 |

| nobody | MinceR: what's been the turning point in 2015? | Nov 08 17:30 |
| MinceR | the world turned toward nazism, viktor orban suddenly found himself not a pariah, but a exemplar | Nov 08 17:30 |
| MinceR | next year, nazi america elected the pedophile president | Nov 08 17:31 |
| MinceR | and so the New Dark Ages begun | Nov 08 17:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | orban is a science expertiment | Nov 08 17:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but he escaped the lab | Nov 08 17:31 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and blamed erdos and soros | Nov 08 17:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | moonths ago this .hu experiment failed | Nov 08 17:32 |
| MinceR | nobody: btw, none of what "open"ai does is science, it's mostly hardware hoarding, and the rest is dicking around with the hardware | Nov 08 17:32 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | people decided orban didn't help .hu | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | last week the us decided the same | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | regarding orange | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: yes | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | LLMs were always possible | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but | Nov 08 17:33 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no use case | Nov 08 17:33 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not like you pay a lot to train and that's it | Nov 08 17:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and then cheap to generate slop | Nov 08 17:34 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | MinceR: llms are easy | Nov 08 17:34 |
| nobody | schestowitz[TR2]: just had a short test-chat with one such AI agent (hooked in as bot into an IRC chan on Libera) | Nov 08 17:34 |

| nobody | and i must admit, the quality of this conversation was scary | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but what for? | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nobody: the standards are low | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for humans | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | some can communicate with smms | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or whatsapp | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and that's about it | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a | Nov 08 17:35 |
| nobody | well, yes, in comparison, this "AI" was a pleasure to chat with in comparison to most humans | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bot can do better | Nov 08 17:35 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nobody: "most humans" | Nov 08 17:36 |
| nobody | merely try to remain polite over today's standard level of intellect | Nov 08 17:36 |
| MinceR | that's because the standard is so low | Nov 08 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if you want companion, get a cat | Nov 08 17:36 |
| MinceR | the overwhelming majority of humans is scary stupid | Nov 08 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | not some "agent" | Nov 08 17:36 |
| MinceR | schestowitz[TR2]: why not both? | Nov 08 17:36 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | cat agent | Nov 08 17:36 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | but she must be like 50 now | Nov 08 17:38 |
| MinceR | i was thinking more along the lines of Arete and Fooocus | Nov 08 17:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | about 5 years your senior, maaaybe more | Nov 08 17:38 |
| MinceR | and maybe something that can generate 3D models out of 2D pictures | Nov 08 17:38 |

| MinceR | no, for videogames | Nov 08 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | what would be the utility? | Nov 08 17:39 |
| MinceR | for me, it would be building my own game | Nov 08 17:39 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | games do sprites | Nov 08 17:39 |
| MinceR | sprites are limited | Nov 08 17:39 |
| MinceR | Doom has views from 8 directions (usually ~half of them mirrored) which is a lot of sprites but still won't give you good views from above or from below | Nov 08 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | DOOM is still funnn | Nov 08 17:40 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | turns out | Nov 08 17:41 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the graphics are not everything | Nov 08 17:41 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | "Of particular concern, during her time at Google, Weiden was also a Vice President of the FSFE in Berlin.

| IsambardPrince | McDonald's and Capital One both show that we're in a recession. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | McDonald's is giving out coupons that lower prices to levels I haven't seen since the 1990s. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Capital One is issuing credit cards with a $1000 spending limit to credit profiles that are Super Prime and would have gotten an $8000-$10000 limit a few years ago under Joe Biden. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They see the economy for what it is. Trump's tariffs, and Trump's Fed Chair Kevin Warsh have raised prices and interest rates to the point where the cost of doing business is intolerable and consumers have no money. Layoffs are higher than new jobs. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Microsoft alone let 60,000 people go this month. They won't count as unemployed for three months because there's a Voluntary Exit and Severance that has to be paid out, so for now they don't count, but since they started the bloodletting last year under Trump, they have laid off or "voluntary exited" over 100,000 people and that's just one company. One company. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The cost of doing business under Trump is so high that it's just laying waste to the real economy. He points to stocks that are denominated in inflated money that's lost almost all of its buying power and has been propped up by his taxpayer-funded stock market bailouts. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Some people think the stock market is the economy. But for 80% of Americans what it means is when it goes up, your boss gets a lot richer but you don't, and when it crashes, your boss fires you. That's the only connection most Americans have to the stock market. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | While part of me is amused to see Microsoft panicking and in such fiscal distress and debt over AI "investments" that are not turning any profit, I do feel bad for the over 100,000 that have been laid off from this one company due to Trumponomics making everything so expensive and horrible that it sets us up for the worst economic catastrophe since the Great Recession. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone actually audited Microsoft's books, I wonder what they'd even look like. I wonder how many Securities laws are being flouted here if they have to lay off over 100,000 workers while they claim profits are good. | Nov 08 21:59 |
| IsambardPrince | May even be worse. | Nov 08 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | In terms of where we are right now, I think it's comparable to April or May of 2008. Everyone knew we were in trouble. They had been losing their jobs and getting nasty letters for about a year from their mortgage company and they were paying record gas and diesel prices (which in adjusted dollars, George W. Bush had us paying much higher prices for fuel than Donald Trump). | Nov 08 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | But the news said "there might be a recession but nobody knows" and we were two or three months away from Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers failing. By August there was no hiding it anymore, not even telling the news to project happy happy thoughts. | Nov 08 22:00 |
| IsambardPrince | People on the ground know what their financial situation is like. They see the rounds of layoffs. They don't need media that's too afraid to report it because Trump will threaten to take their broadcast license if they do. | Nov 08 22:00 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I'm considering making a wager on Kalshi. | Nov 08 22:59 |
| IsambardPrince | The Alaska Senate race currently costs 2.6 cents to bet that the Republican will win. If they win you get $1 for every 2.6 cents you bet. | Nov 08 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | It's entirely possible at this point that the instant runoff lobs enough votes to Dan Sullivan that it happens. | Nov 08 23:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Daniel J Sullivan (the fake one) got 3600 votes so far. | Nov 08 23:01 |
| IsambardPrince | The news says that about half of his voters didn't make a second choice. | Nov 08 23:01 |
| IsambardPrince | About 70 of those 3600 votes won't count at all because they ranked Daniel J and Daniel S Sullivan both as "1". | Nov 08 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | So that creates an over vote that results in an invalid ballot. | Nov 08 23:02 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 08 23:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a tiny sample size (~70 votes), but in tight elections where margins come down to fractions of a percent, self-inflicted overvote errors and ballot exhaustion are exactly why minor candidate name-clones can disrupt the final tabulation. | Nov 08 23:03 |
| IsambardPrince | So you take 1800 with no second choice and 70 overvotes, you have about 1870 votes for people who thought they were voting for Daniel S Sullivan and their vote was wasted. | Nov 08 23:04 |
| IsambardPrince | So in Alaska you probably have 2,000 Republicans that were too stupid to understand why Daniel S had "incumbent" and "Republican" next to his name. | Nov 08 23:05 |
| IsambardPrince | And those who didn't know how to use ranked choice even though it's simple and has been in place for three elections so far. | Nov 08 23:05 |
| MinceR | we might as well let plants vote at this point | Nov 08 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | This is exactly why the Furious FΓΌhrer, Trump, was so mad he had the DOJ launch a criminal investigation over something that's certainly dishonest but surprisingly legal. | Nov 08 23:06 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, At least 1.2% of the Republicans in Alaska had absolutely no idea what they were doing and couldn't fill out a simple ballot. | Nov 08 23:08 |
| IsambardPrince | But they got a ballot anyway and filled it out wrong and botched it. | Nov 08 23:08 |
| IsambardPrince | And this will cause Mary Peltola, the Democrat, to win. | Nov 08 23:08 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I was talking to my mom about all the stuff I've used in my hair. | Nov 08 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I told her when I was a teenager it got so oily that they didn't make shampoo that worked. | Nov 08 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | So I just grabbed a bottle of Dawn dish soap in the kitchen and used that. | Nov 08 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Now I usually just use Dove soap, same stuff I bathe in. | Nov 08 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Shampoo is another thing that's gotten outrageous. | Nov 08 23:18 |
