including rules on climate change

USA is internationally a rogue nation, that doesn’t respect international treaties anymore.
But this shit is hitting Americans directly too, because just as the government doesn’t respect international agreements, they don’t respect their own people.

I warned about it on social media hundreds of times all 3 times Trump was a Presidential candidate.
Don’t vote for the psychopath, he doesn’t care about anybody but himself, and it will be bad for everybody.
One would think this is kind of obvious, but to half the Americans apparently not.

When the AI bubble burst there will be dirt cheap RAM for everybody.
It’s quite entertaining to follow the shitshow that is AI and datacenters. Especially OpenAI and Oracle. 🤡 😂

It’s a sad reality that it can now be debatable which is worse. But here we are.

But Beijing, including Chinese leader Xi Jinping himself, has also spoken about the risks posed by AI. China must “balance development and security”, and introduce and improve relevant laws and ethical guidelines, and strengthen prevention of risks, to “safeguard the interests of the people and national security”, state security minister Chen Yixin wrote on Sunday.

This is true I’ve read articles about how the Chinese government is working on legal models to make AI “safe for children”.

It’s ironic in these times of asymmetric warfare beating traditional war machinery at a fraction of the price.
It’s kind of the same the Chinese is doing on AI. USA is building huge datacenters concentrated around the forecasts for less than a handful of AI companies. While China is building AI into everything, and are working on making AI work decentralized to be useful in way more task specific circumstances and way cheaper.

Maybe the 2 can coexist? But I think the American approach is overkill, and a lot of people will lose a lot of money they invested in that shit.

So I don’t think the competition from China is designed to be malicious or disruptive, it has grown out from a different set of circumstances and necessity, because USA has been denying China the necessary chips to perform well with the American approach. Making it near impossible for China to work with American companies especially suppliers. Which China did until American politicians ruined it.

China is building AI for everybody to use everywhere. While USA is attempting to monopolize AI services within monolithic services controlled by a few gigantic companies.

I think safety is also easier to implement with the Chinese model, that doesn’t attempt to create AGI or Strong AI as we used to call it. But is creating AI that works well for what it was designed for.

These operations do not happen overnight. The Ukrainian army will have spent months preparing, training and rehearsing before launching a major counter-offensive.

Russia, by contrast, appears increasingly to be doing the opposite. Its conscripts receive limited training before being committed to the front,

This seems to have been the Russian strategy from the beginning, and to not have changed in the more than 4½ years the war has lasted.
Russia simply hoped to be able to overwhelm Ukraine, and now they are afraid that any pause will give Ukraine time to collect themselves for even better defense. So they need to keep pushing.
This strategy by the Russians is what makes it possible for Ukraine to beat Russia 4:1 on the battle field, which is logistically required just to break even with a Russian military that is 4 times bigger than Ukraine’s.

If Putin is running out that is great, but many speculate that Russia will mobilize around 500 thousand troops after the Russian election. But with poor training and equipment, it will probably not be as helpful as Putin hopes, it’s “just” another desperate move, in a war where Russia is running out of options.

Russia can still make life hell in Ukraine, but in the long run, all they achieve is to make it hell in Russia too.
Russia has now lost more than a decade of economic progress. Don’t be fooled by the economic numbers they are releasing, the combined value of their civil economy is down more than 50% compared to the beginning of the war. The only thing keeping up the official numbers is military spending, and regulation that prevent declaring businesses in key industries bankrupt.

The Russian economy is like a giant Enron. It’s basically already collapsed, but they are using so many tricks to get around it and to hide it, that they somehow manage to carry on in a somewhat normal fashion.

Wonderful. 👍

Isn’t this the same price as when Vive came out?
And I think that had a more sophisticated placement system than this one.
I know prices are high currently, but the general idea is that the new should be better and cheaper.

Evil lives among us.
And it’s not the ones with different gender identification.

Goddam there are a few depressing news in here today. IDK if it’s just me and the grey autumn weather here. But Russian drone attacks are getting through way more than they should. Those new jet drones are getting through way to often. ☹️
At least Ukraine is striking back hard too, but there is no doubt which side it’s harder to live on. Ukrainians cry because they lost loved ones or their home, Russians cry because they can’t get gas!
All the best wishes for Ukraine, they are fighting admirably, and at some point Russia will collapse as a society with a completely broken economy. It’s just awful that it has taken so long.
EU needs to make sanctions against Russia absolute with no exceptions. And USA needs to go fuck themselves.

Having the fan blow out will mostly repeatedly replace the air close by the window, as the air sucked by the fan is taken from the immediate surroundings, and that air is standing mostly still, so the same pocket of air will continuously be replaced.
If you let the fan blow into the room however, it will be pushed further into the room, helping to move the air in the room more, and increasing how much air is actually shifted out of the room.
The problem with taking in the air it blows from the immediate vicinity still exist, but normally there will be some movement in outside air, so the air sucked from the immediate vicinity is replaced by the natural wind replacing it outside, preventing the air that just escaped the room from being sucked in again.

So blowing in replaces way more air on average, the exception being if it works against an airflow in the room in opposite direction.

The Russians seem eager to reach 2 million lost personnel fast.

It was a lot more than a provocation.
It was an illegal attack of war and a war crime already on day 1.

P as in pedo.

Oh it was illegal?
I didn’t know that.
But it doesn’t matter, I would have done it anyway.

-Trump

You know you can be insane and shrewd at the same time. He has maintained power by being ruthless not by being smart. Unless you call it smart to make terrorist attacks on your own people to manipulate the vote. That’s his 1 trick ruthless manipulation. Being a psychopath is not being smart. And I bet his life is hell and he lives in fear, something he could have easily avoided if he had had more than 2 brain cells.

Being politically blind is also being politically stupid. Same thing.

Yes, I think 16A is pretty common, maybe it’s only old installations that are 10A?

I absolutely can, because he is a moron that is destroying Russia just as much as Trump is destroying USA.
The idea that Putin is smart is proven utterly false.
He is a one trick pony, and that trick worked fine for years, but as soon as he was called on it everything collapsed for him.

True, it’s just that both wars are equally moronic.

We bought a cheap flir for Android way back when that was new. I bet they’ve gotten both way better and cheaper.

It’s amazing how good modern cameras are in low light.
