Yes.

Meanwhile intelligence agencies says they want to stop encryption to help them investigate crime…

Lobbyists selected by rich people tell politicians who to appoint to lead agencies. These people give directives and can get agents fired for disobeying.

Stopping it means removing “single points of failures” like not having such a powerful hierarchy, in addition to accountability measures (independent inspections, etc)

Well, unless they also made key generation shitty, because that’s equally plausible and would likely allow RSA keys to be broken (it’s surprisingly hard to generate RSA keys safely)

Presidential pardons for state crimes don’t exist. Claiming he’s done it does nothing. Signing fancy formal papers saying so is null and void.

Unreliable certainly. For as long as there’s radio coverage there’s a way, but it used to be impractical to give passengers enough bandwidth. 20 years ago you’d have to ask the captain nicely to get a call routed (read: have an emergency)

If you allow civilian HAM radio, you go back a few more decades (not quite applicable to planes, but definitely applicable to boats). If you allow Morse code you go back yet a little further.

It’s worse than your typical creative claim on copyright of something like a poem - because prompts are by definition functional more than creative, and typically contain too few purely expressive elements to meet creative height. They managed to put prompts in a worse position than boilerplate code in terms of protection, lol

Exactly. At best you’re commissioning work to a machine. You didn’t provide much creativity, at best a direction and some constraints.

In the art world it’s been settled ages ago that the underlying concept isn’t protected, and few if any prompts go beyond just describing a vague concept.

A board of peace - after telling the Norwegian prime minister that he’s not committed to peace anymore because he didn’t get the peace price (and no, the PM doesn’t control the peace price)

Every time the policies and suggestions and everything else was presented without names, Kamala’s campaign won. When people didn’t know who’s proposal they was listening to, Kamala won.

So please explain what you mean about better candidate, because you have said nothing about how she was worse.

From here in Sweden, it looks like the things needing replacement is the fucking electorate and the billionaires owning the media companies

What part of the campaign was worse

Please specify

Did you not pay attention to how Kamala was called a liar by media for saying Trump would send the military against cities?

… And then he did?

Did you not pay attention to how he claimed credit for Covid funds that Democrats established? Blaming Democrats for Trump judges’ decisions? Setting up Afghanistan so the exit would happen at the start of Biden’s turn to hurt his approval when it predictably turns to chaos? How Biden’s age was somehow a problem but Trump’s never was?

Media was hysterical about how democrats would make everything worse somehow but never explaining it, then repeating Trump’s claims that he’s deliver the best economy ever and all kinds of bullshit like it.

And with all that Trump still didn’t even get 50%!

Real-time in computing usually either means a real-time OS with guaranteed low latency response (typically for stuff like microcontrollers regulating machines) or streaming live data (low latency delivery of the most recent value)

This sounds like the latter, and a typical SQL database don’t guarantee real-time updates (you can have “atomic writes” to prevent inconsistency but usually this would make it slower) but some databases like this one are designed to ensure you can read out updated correct and consistent values much faster. Also with standard databases you usually make scheduled individual requests, but a real-time database could often send a stream of updated values to a “subscribing” program

The question is if it wins then more support than they lose.

They’re targeting anybody who challenges their authority, starting with people who look different (foreigners first)

It’s actually kinda easy. Neural networks are just weirder than usual logic gate circuits. You can program them just the same and insert explicit controlled logic and deterministic behavior. To somebody who don’t know the details of LLM training, they wouldn’t be able to tell much of a difference. It will be packaged as a bundle of node weights and work with the same interfaces and all.

The reason that doesn’t work well if you try to insert strict logic into a traditional LLM despite the node properties being well known is because of how intricately interwoven and mutually dependent all the different parts of the network is (that’s why it’s a LARGE language model). You can’t just arbitrarily edit anything or insert more nodes or replace logic, you don’t know what you might break. It’s easier to place inserted logic outside of the LLM network and train the model to interact with it (“tool use”).

If you asked people about their policies and literally absolutely anything they wanted to do, and hid the names, Trump always lost because he is MORE unpopular

Media helped Trump steal credit for things others did, instill fear of things his opponents never would do, etc. Nobody lost to Trump by being a worse candidate, but because media refused to be honest and people believed the lies

ICE already says their facial recognition app is more accurate than your actual citizenship papers.

Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 and still was below 50% in 2024 AND his policies never got support from a majority ever when presented without a name.

There has never been a majority who has liked anything he had to offer.

This was a propaganda war from racist wealthy assholes who bought out a ton of the companies controlling the media landscape. They exploited bullshit election rules and lied and bribed and extorted to suppress resistance, all just so they could be assholes in public without being called in it.

People who opposed the monster won’t feel offended by that. Normies won’t be here to see it.

And some of these hardline ultrapurists has to be shamed into doing the right thing

Now Windows won’t boot
