Gud··on Pentagon Influencer Called Liberal Women 'Pestilence' Who Will End Civilization
Which ones are those, and how do you predict these non-liberal institutions are going to continue existing “for millennia”, and why is that even a good thing?
Gud··on Tesla takes on $30B in credit as it approaches unprofitability
And by punish you mean fairly value?

Gud··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
Weird how I struggle to sleep without it but sleep like a baby after 1ml of my drops.
Gud··on AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom
I just invented a simple upgrade script for my father's ancient Fedora install. I've gone from version 33 to the latest(44) with a simple utility I one shot in 5 minutes.

Since Fedora moves old releases to some mirror it's a nightmare to update old installs.

Now I did it very conveniently. Did I build a space ship with the help of ChatGPT? No. Is it useful to me? Yes.

I'm doing many much cooler things that I haven't released yet but I am launching projects I never dreamed I could do as a solo dev in 2-3 months.

This is basically what I've replaced with my tincture. I used to roll the smallest doobies you can imagine(one drag joints basically). However since it's terrible for the lungs, I've completely replaced it with my shot. The effect is slightly different but it works well against my ADHD.

Consider that perhaps what you smoked, is the equivalent of a newbie chugging down bottle of whiskey.

I don't recommend smoking/inhaling weed at all. It's bad for your lungs.

Gud··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
That's not been my experience at all. I sleep like a baby thanks to it. We're all different with different needs. Read the sibling comment from 'cromka'. That's my experience as well.

It’s because alcohol fucking sucks.

Personally I microdose THC via an extraction I make myself(somewhat ironically using alcohol). Can’t do it in the mornings as I wish though, society still hasn’t caught up with a more heterogeneous drug use, only caffeine and tobacco are erlaubt…

Gud··on Israeli Settlers Can Get Away with Murder [video]
Who are "the people"? Israeli intelligence is known to have a strong online presence. It is entirely plausible they are flagging this.

Gud··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
Funny you would say that, considering there ARE other choices, they even existed in the US until your car lobbied to dismantle it.

I am of course talking about public transportation. Bike + tram + train keeps the citizens fit and healthy.

Going from car parking to car parking must suck, what a way to live

Gud··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
The writing was on the wall when Tesla started rolling out the Model S, in 2012. BYD followed shortly after.

The Germans hate electric cars for some weird reason.

Gud··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
No.
Gud··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
Serious question.

Can you get this money if you instead choose a much better option, like riding the bike or going with public transport?

Or is this only for people who choose cars?

Gud··on Italian parliament votes for return to nuclear energy
Great, now how about countries where solar is a non-starter?
Gud··on I am done with this shit
I disagree hard. I am a tinkerer wannabe entrepreneur and I'm having the time of my life.

I just one shot a plugin for my wife's sketchup(the ability to easily export 2D from sketchup) in Ruby. I don't even know what Ruby looks like.

Simultaneously, I am fine tuning my mail setup(FreeBSD/postfix/dovecot/OpenDKIM/etc) using ChatGPT and Claude.

I set it up long before these AI things was a thing... But I am loving that I can take my rickety server held together by duct tape(though I had done things "right") STRONG, simply because it frees me from tedious, tedious shell scripting. I can focus my energy on that fun shit, not trying to remember the shell dialect I am currently employing...

Gud··on Netherlands bracing for potentially devastating US sanctions against the ICC
Why wouldn't it be so "benign"? Unlike the USA, China seems to have pretty sane leadership in general.
Gud··on Study: Young users (9 to 18Y) ditch Google for AI, with unknown consequences
"knowing how to search" became useless when Google almost exclusively started returning SEO garbage. There was no longer any way to know how to search.
Gud··on Apple Mac mini review
BYD were early adopters of the electric vehicle(they already dominated electric buses, having plants in the USA and Europe 10 years ago).

The rest of the car industry was sleeping on electric, while BYD made it their sole focus. That s why they're now eating everyones lunch.

Gud··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
Have you been to "the EU"? It's a very diverse place and hardly "shit".
Gud··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
Theres a big difference.

We have social conventions regulating this.

Suddenly, mega corporations were allowed to digest(sometimes by illegally pirating “data”, and sometimes by achieving their training corpus and subsequently destroying the copies) and digest this information in a novel way, without any discussion or law making.

You may argue it’s beneficial (it very well could be, I use ChatGPT and Claude all the time), but let’s not pretend it’s the same as learning from your history teacher…

Gud··on The Return of Sail Power: Cargo Ships Are Turning Back to the Wind
Diesel electric are not at all the same as an electric train network. Electric trains have a very interesting property, as they work as a grid as both producers, feeding back when they are breaking.

You made a second point, that most trains are already "diesel electric", I am pointing out, that the function is very different from an electric train, and much less friendly(and less efficient) to the environment.

Gud··on The Return of Sail Power: Cargo Ships Are Turning Back to the Wind
Diesel... electric. Now remove the word diesel.

It reduces the carbon footprint considerably if you don't have to fill up your trains with carbon.

Not true, this very site has no ads.

Why wouldn't it be feasible for Apple, with an unlimited war chest, to go after Asahi? I am not saying they will, but it is certainly possible for them.
