Comment Great initiative (Score 1) 258

Instead of foolishly reaping the benefit of renewables the US can pay to not have those benefits. 3D chess move from Don Tzu himself.

While you may mistake Trump as a serial loser that has sucked his creditors into a whirlpool of neverending debt; and thas ruined everything he touched if you waited long enough but actually this time it's different.

(Mainly because he is not ruining a business but rather a country)

Comment DOGE coin (Score 1) 131

Is it finally time to launch DOGE payments? You know because that would boost value...in the same fake way XRP value was thought to be related to Ripple payment systems.

I was naive Tesla believer. Autonomous driving is coming real soon. No radar needed cameras can do it all. Autopilot works (except when the name leads people to think it's actually autopilot and kills people)

He was bitching about bits on twitter and other bullshit. Bought Twitter and called it something dumb and no it's a cesspit of AI bots and shit.

He then launched the Department OF Government Efficiency which has had a negative "saving" of anything and good people were fire for no reasons except he paraded his stupid chainsaw.

He was Trump's backer then Trump's hater but because they both lose out on Epstein he stays quiet.

Not mentioning the multiple abandoned ex partners and children and the platinum blonde obsession crap.

I would not knowingly touch any product or service or person affiliated with him unless it was to literally save my own life.

Fuck Musk. Fuck everything he does.

Comment Risk management (Score 1) 75

It's all about risk management. If you have a toy company that makes inflatable pool toys and you cut some corners and fudge some compliance reports the damage to society, in most cases, would be trivial.

If you run a nuclear powerplant that could result in a disaster like Chernobyl then extreme measures of risk management must take place. Normally you'd say you cannot trust a company to run it it must be government run...and it was.

Fault tolerant design, modern reactor technology and meaures etc are significantly safer than what Chernobyl was...but everything can and eventually does fail.

When the risk is fatal radiation poisoning en mass every system must have the highest levels of fault tolerance, security, governanace and risk management and must be open to external transparent auditing. How else do.

Yes the system design might be amazing and even with human neglect would shutdown harmlessly but what about terrorists? What about disgruntled suicidal employees? Natural disasters etc...

Naturally the site would be remote from dense population etc...and all that stuff increases costs...so is it worth it compared to renewables + battery tech?

My best guess is "yes" for the costs but "no" for the risks.

Once upon a time we were told watching TV all-day will make us dumb. That we must stop watching TV. We were told that playing videogames all day...etc

Arsoke point more and more people's brains will stop getting the dopamine hit because watching lolcats has a ceiling. Same for YouTube shorts and such.


Wait until VR hits mainstream. You'd finally be able to advertise inside everyone's virtual homes and colour their rain in pepsi. VI assistants will recommend Nike or Reebok. Noncompete brands will tag team; if you do X then get brand A and the other if you do Y.

Look to the past. Every fashion and craze came and eventually went. You think parents didn't try to get their kids to stop listening to Rock n' Roll? (Which as the meme goes leads to sex and blasphemy)

Stop trying to herd cats. Try to get the positives and avoid the negatives and the rest will take care of itself.

"But what about..." it'll take care of itself not because of the great creator or but because people want things and they get bored. Attention will shift. Someone will make a new gizmo...and maybe that will be a better screen but heck without this screen I'm using to see what I type this sort of interaction wouldn't work.

Take a Visual Display Unit break every 45 minutes if it makes you feel more attentive.

Comment Looking out (Score 1) 49

All those radio telescopes and others looking for intelligent life somewhere in space hoping to find Vulcans.

If we looked inwards and poured all those trillions over the years to search for life in the galaxy (as an aside not a primary use case) if we diverted a fraction we'd have found the "alien" life forms on Earth a long time ago.

Bet we'd have had some very enlightening conversations by now... Of course being a tree hugging fish talking hippie makes the kids gay and jesus hates that so *shrugs*

If you are a senior pony express rider and the automobile just started rolling out how do you train the next generation of riders?

They'll be around for a while longer and they may start using AI development natively as part of how people programme in the future...eg they will become the car drivers and truckers that replaced all them horses but sure there will be disruption and teething issues. Still someone has to know how to fix the AI when it breaks...

He worked real hard and through the promise of money freedom via crypto has earnt all his money.

No dodgy dealings, tax evasion, bribery or preloaded cryptocrap dumps. That's why Trump pardoned him. He's just that innocent.

Remember, when you buy the "store of value" crypto you are letting nice, hard working people like this cash out by creating exit liquidity. Thank you in advance.

Comment Sounds like they needed good HR (Score 1) 113

A company with good HR means the HR leader has actual authority to pull the plug on insane shit like this.

They would have the sense to consider if this is really a good idea, have people sign waivers for legality reasons (which already tells you it's a bad idea) and when it all goes wrong with the head chef and management quitting to then say "oh big red flag, maybe we shouldn't do this?!".

When you do not have a specific HR leader it's every other manager that becomes (or should be) that HR leader. They have a duty of care to their staff - or if in the US they should at least care about not tanking their own company by doing awful shit to staff.

You may have paid a lot of money for a gourmet steak but when you show up and realise you had dog shit in your plate it's OK not to eat it even if it was expensive.
