You people are ridiculous.

Such mental gymnastics for a simple fact: no one can prove elections are secure. End of story.

The latest ones make you smile, shut eyes / wink, look up, down, etc. plus for Apple they use the lidar and the IR camera for heat.

What was it? Thyroid?

Many of the people that talk about the “massive dragnet swirling around” are posting all their details to social media and checking in on their Ring cameras, and they’re also volunteering for the persona uploads.

Persona isn’t just an id upload. It’s also face scan by video.

Well… maybe the real thing isn’t the headline thing?

I don’t get this.

Isn’t it weak, two point out that no one can find evidence after the fact, versus the proper alternative that no one can prove that they’re actually-secure before the fact?

Let’s just say that you were a bad guy and manipulating elections, wouldn’t you be bad at your job if someone could detect it after the fact? How many people would a conspiracy even take to pull of?

I don’t get the US system. The people mad at Trump and 2020 claims brush off all the ways the elections can’t be proven in favor that weeks or years afterwards no one can’t point to hard evidence.

What does USPS assume for chain of custody for a ballot? Do they hand them directly to a person?

And if you had to do it one a normal human setup of three hosts and 15 total VMs, no fiber, no san, no special nics or anything like that, just tied in to an ordinary Veeam with the ssd storage on an immutable Linux machine elsewhere?

Apparently not enough for my lazy MSP to be confident in their service level agreements.

I like that many of the people the agree with this live in California and are or assume to be happy with complete one-party rule.

Linux doesn’t define a GUI. I think you mean ”Now if only there were a distribution of Linux that implemented my personal idea of what a GUI should be.”

To which, I bet someone does. If you think Windows nails all the right ideas, there is Mint.

Yes, that’s effectively new outlook in an electron(-like?) container.

Outlook CoPilot Legacy But Also Preview

I switched in 2023 or so, I have not seen one headline per your example or anecdote or comment or tea leaves that have made me question moving away from windows.

Not one, not once. Even my worst day on Linux where something does work for seemingly no reason, still better than Windows.

Would you do it again (ProxMox)?

Ugh. ProxMox breaks my heart.

Our MSP refuses to consider ProxMox because “we need to support it”… but are happy as clams to throw me outrageous HyperV labor costs.

They’re literally putting me in a position where I either need to fire them because they refuse to use an open source solution and hire people that can read code… or fire them because they want 50,000 to move 15 VMs over to HyperV.

I want an MSP that isn’t scared of things outside of Microsoft.

Up until Trump2, Ivy League schools were gaming the system to limit Asian students… but how could they, the Japanese-American internment camps weren’t that long ago.

I don’t like grading / judging / factoring skin color for anyone for any reason. I don’t think it matters how tame it is.

NVidia has less than zero reason to ship cards ideal for this at low prices.

AMD’s stock price reflects a hope they launch a CUDA alternative. But this is unlikely for the near future.

There is a lot of interest in preventing China coming in with cheap AI hardware.

So I expect the direction to be good local models that few can run effectively.

IDK I’ve appreciated Reddit killing off good features like old version, putting a time-lock banner on mobile while logged out, trying to block VPNs when logged out, etc.

I want that company devalued and bought by Verizon or AOL to die a Yahoo death.

What is insane to me is how few people realize their stock has a higher P/E than nVidia… and it isn’t because of some bullshit minor AI data deals. It’s a youth-forward narrative machine, and everyone knows it.

So I haven’t looked into it a ton, but doesn’t it seem like a great case to have an AI answer the call immediately, get the users account pulled up, and document the issue with some refining feedback?

An AI secretary seems perfectly acceptable for both sides. The expectation is that a real human comes in soon after but this seems like a way to free up the most tedious parts of the process for both sides.

I like the idea I read somewhere that AI text and agents break the social contract of communication. That if you can’t be fucked to write something yourself to me, then I shouldn’t bother to read it.

However, in the case of support agents. If it worked, and it was painless that would be something.

For example… On the company side, if it could reduce human support to the customers that actually need support, that’s cool. Your support agents aren’t spending all day with the three common issues or replacing stickers.

On the customer side; if I could call in and immediately get support without being on hold with their shit repeating audio script, didn’t have to spend 10 minutes “looking up my account” to an accent I can’t understand and repeating my name and address multiple times.

That said… AT&T is already using the absolute worst case scenario - they are currently using AI with a slight Indian accent and pretending it’s real peoples. It seems to be 90% automated, and if you question it about being AI or have a question it can’t understand a human pops in on the other side, interacts, then hops off and it goes back to being full-AI.

It could be great but it’s already awful.

Saying you’ll trip off it is a surefire way to drive up its use.

Trump ran as on the Republican ticket, he had been a lifelong NYC Democrat up until he ran for president.

Republican != Conservative… and in reality Trump is neither, but at the same time, the type of Democrat he was no longer exists. It’s also a mistake to confuse Republican for Establishment GOP.

There is something to this.

I have been able to iterate with Claude Design in a way that I wouldn’t illiterate with a human coworker.

“Ok, that’s good. Kill options 2,3,4,5 and make entirely new variations of them, be bold and use wildly different design theories”

“Take the submit button from 1, the list from 2, the item spacing from 3, the hamburger from 4 and then make that into variation 5”

“I liked the button design before. Split this design into two and use the old button and while we’re doing this, move the buttons to the top of the page outside the scrollable area”

I’ve found Design has been great for me who can’t blank page a design to save my life.

Anthropic coming out quick to say it was Human Error that leaked all their Claude Code source… 110% confirmed to me that it was Claude that was involved.

There was a trillion dollars pushing for them to quickly say it wasn’t.

There is a lot of evidence that didn’t happen all at once and funded by social programs that effectively discourage integration.

Right, and this latest influx certainly outpaces anything in many generations.

USA has no issues with courage.

We have individual resistance to police state actions all the time.

We have other issues, but individualism and people willing to go to bat for enlightenment principles is not one of them.
