jalapenos··on Last love: a romance in a care home (2023)
The article as a whole. Like, life shouldn't be that harsh.
jalapenos··on Final Testing Phase of Tesla FSD (Supervised) in EU
I think it'll get approved for sure. It'll be one more vector for the EU to ~loot~ fine US tech companies, so win win for both sides.
jalapenos··on 4Chan mocks £520k fine for UK online safety breaches
Like most matters concerning the UK: unless your feet are touching their territory, the correct response to their actions, inactions, or very existence, is: "fuck off"
jalapenos··on Last love: a romance in a care home (2023)
One of the most depressing things I've ever read
jalapenos··on Thailand Is Sleepwalking into a Demographic Crisis
Could insert most countries names and be equally right.

All so that keep one's unabridged freedom and get extra money to freely piss away on crap and narcissistic indulgences, or on some comically priced house you carefully use contraceptives in.

jalapenos··on China Suspected in Breach of FBI Surveillance Network
What are the odds, would you say, that the US don't have a team constantly trying to breach China's networks?

Hence the framing of these articles always strikes me as dishonest by omission. The titles should all append "(similar to what we do)".

jalapenos··on We Will Not Be Divided
I don't think people get to those positions by having firm principles
jalapenos··on We Will Not Be Divided
Why only have the cake when you can eat it too
jalapenos··on We Will Not Be Divided
And then Microsoft forced him back in on the grounds of: he's a scumbag but he's our scumbag so he's untouchable
jalapenos··on We Will Not Be Divided
Altman is a snake who uses words purely instrumentally, and this is well known.

He basically takes advantage of people's limited memories and default assumption that when a person says something its honest.

jalapenos··on Court finds Fourth Amendment doesn’t support broad search of protesters’ devices
The stupidity of this is that cops literally used to not exist. People used to have to arrest people themselves and drag them to a magistrate and then prosecute them themselves. Didn't mean society was mad max.

Doubt you'll find many cops who'll know that though.

jalapenos··on Layoffs at Block
> managing earnings to sustain equity valuations

That's an interesting take, so eventually they'll just run out of these tricks and at that point the valuations will burst?

jalapenos··on Software development now costs less than than the wage of a minimum wage worker
I'm not sure if there's a name for this yet, perhaps "AI shit-eating grin artistry".

But the way you do it is: try to make the most aggressive, gleeful statements about people losing or will be losing their jobs, and in fact entire careers.

Make it as obnoxious as you and your AI can make it. Make references to burger flippers being more valuable than software engineers.

Make really flippant comparisons that deliberately and dishonestly mischaracterise the role. Refer to nonsense like LOC output rate as a proxy for value, or point at things like its ability to clone quickly as if that were where value comes from.

And then of course, double down at every criticism of the position.

jalapenos··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
Maybe it's like a kind of brag?

Like, it the monsters massacre people and no one's left to report on how awful it was then they kind of "lose the gloat value" to a degree?

jalapenos··on Zohran Mamdani Wants to Reclaim Efficiency from the Right
I say a lot? You took two long paragraphs to carefully say nothing.

Efficient means their value outputs are high relative to their inputs.

If they or their voters say homelessness is a problem, they don't burn billions on grifting "consultants" and produce no change, they spend a few millions and cut homelessness in half.

jalapenos··on Zohran Mamdani Wants to Reclaim Efficiency from the Right
The right has only ever had efficiency lip servicemen, no efficiency doers.

Once any right-winger gets in power they do the same thing lefists do - piss away billions of other peoples' money on their favourite things, as fast as they can, with impunity. They might call it some fuckwit name though like "A Big Beautiful Bill".

Oh and they keep all other forms of inefficiency too. Farm subsidies, tariffs, all the other dumb shit, that's well protected.

So not a difficult lift for Mamdami, despite socialism being basically a big middle finger to morals and reality.

jalapenos··on Sam Altman Is Losing His Grip on Humanity
Altman strikes me as a dude who came from a special tier of toxic upbringing.
jalapenos··on Binance fired employees who found $1.7B in crypto was sent to Iran
I think they prefer trafficked underage women, which is all fun and games for the suppliers until they get suicided at the MCC.
jalapenos··on Binance fired employees who found $1.7B in crypto was sent to Iran
I think you missed buying illegal goods over the internet and making absolutely inane videos and comment about crypto-shit that you spew all over the internet.
jalapenos··on Facebook is cooked
I just searched "TruthSocial".

First result is Trump's page, which I could access without a login.

There is the same ad "Featured Ad. Must See Video. This Video Will Soon Be Banned. Watch Before It's Deleted" repeated about a dozen times on the page, showing a woman wearing booty shorts approaching a private jet.

Looks very highbrow

jalapenos··on I found a vulnerability. they found a lawyer
Almost makes one want to anonymously respond:

Oh, I see that you're cunts. Well that's your choice. My choice, in response, then, is to notify certain corners of the dark web how you approach security. I'm sure they'll find something else, and don't worry - they won't bother you with a disclosure.

Drug dealing "harm" is the classic abject shirking of responsibly.

Oh no, I'm contacting my dealer, and now going to meet him, and handing cash to him... Oh no poor me this is being done to me by him..

Filth

Just searched this and was not what expected

jalapenos··on Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus

jalapenos··on Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus
This. I don't think humans have evolved a brain - immune system pathway to prime the macrophage pump after you book a Ryanair.
jalapenos··on Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus
That's the point though - why does it take hundreds of millions of dollars for phase 3?

Because it happens in a regime that intentionally makes it so.

That's not how e.g. vaccination got invented now is it.

Busy-bodies too busy "protecting us from ourselves" to let us find cures.

jalapenos··on Single vaccine could protect against all coughs, colds and flus
So you could have kids with a mouse then if you got drunk enough and were un-endowed enough?

Because you typed a number that looks close to 100%. So must be basically the same.
