This’ll be stalled until late January, and then it will go away

This is bending the knee

Hey Joe maybe try to look less fucking stoked for the destruction of democracy that you fucking helped usher in? Honestly, he looks like a fucking wax model. About as useful, too.

Point of order: it’s less that Trump won than Harris lost. Specifically: trumps numbers barely edged up from 4 years ago. Harris support, compared to 4 years ago, PLUMMETED.

Maybe the DNC needs to find a ladder so they can climb down out of their own asses and actually fucking listen to the middle and lower class. They lost this because they took the base for granted and the base was very fucking fed up. That, imo, is the biggest root cause: inept and out-of-touch politicians, as usual for the Democratic Party. World fucking champions at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Oh, did you just get the memo?

LLMs are largely worthless (in the context of improving human society).

Neural Nets aimed at much more specific domains (recognizing and indicating metastases or other abnormalities in pathology slides for human review, for example) are EXTREMELY useful and worthwhile.

They are still bleeding edge. Samsung is making really impressive strides, but TSMC is simultaneously not resting on their laurels.

Their security guarantees involve “we will melt our chip foundries to slag if the PRC invades”. That’s not a joke. That’s an official element of their strategic defense policy. They are pointedly tying the bleeding edge of semiconductor manufacturing - which corresponds to a very fucking big chunk of the global economy - to their sovereignty and territorial integrity. And it’s frankly an extremely shrewd policy.

And it’s gonna get worse, because it’s a very lucrative industry AND it’s highly effective for propaganda.

MS will be sued over this and they will lose. This is not an ambiguous case. They fucked up. It’s essentially an unconsentual/unilateral alteration to a contract, which kinda violates the principle of, you know, a contract.
