Is that even necessary? Anyone with a CAD tool can recreate the 3D printed parts from a glance and a few specs.

It’s literally a tube. Which—to be fair—is a “weapon of mass destruction” according to President Bush (the other war criminal president).

You don’t need explosives. It has a spot in the front for a camera. One of the new microcontrollers with AI accelerators can do face recognition extremely quickly. It would be possible to use it as an assassination tool.

Even if you changed nothing about the design, the speed and mass of the thing hitting a person in the face could kill.

Don’t give them any ideas! We don’t need Dumb Restrictions on Motors.

The “ceiling” is the fact that no matter how fast AI can write code, it still needs to be reviewed by humans. Even if it passes the tests.

As much as everyone thinks they can take the human review step out of the process with testing, AI still fucks up enough that it’s a bad idea. We’ll be in this state until actually intelligent AI comes along. Some evolution of machine learning beyond LLMs.

This just means (usually) that your system synchronizes with something that doesn’t support special characters (e.g. mainframes).

Remember kids: Mainframes suck. They’re awful legacy garbage that holds back adoption of superior, actually secure technologies. Soooo many things that make you go, “WTF?” in IT can be traced back to having to support legacy systems (like mainframes).

You were supposed to say, “I already did!” 😁

I hope you have fun playing in there!

Why would I want my hat to grow hair?

Each one should have a picture of Charlie Kirk on it. To celebrate his legacy, of course! So everyone can understand the lesson he taught the world. So others with the same beliefs can follow in his footsteps!

“It’s worth the cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths […] so that we can have the Second Amendment”. Charlie Kirk, 2023.

Trump has been extremely hostile to renewable energy and electric vehicles. Now he has intentionally caused a massive shortage of oil, globally.

He’s probably got some investments that will be extremely profitable if the price of oil goes way up. Except I seriously doubt he factored in “economic collapse” and “his own base literally coming for his head because they all drive gas guzzlers” into his plans.

Every journey begins with a single step.

Ah but we’ll never run out of electricity. We will run out of oil.

Furthermore, adding new electric capacity is easy in comparison to adding more oil infrastructure.

I didn’t watch the video but… Why TF did he choose Pop! OS with Cosmic Desktop‽ That’s not something a non-technical user would choose. That’s like… Beta software (Cosmic) running on a Linux distro made and tested for very specific hardware sold by System76.

That’s like trying to put wheels made for a truck on a random sedan. Like, yeah you can do that with a bit of effort but why? It makes no sense.

If you’re going to put a Linux distro on random hardware pick something universal and stable that was made to run on random hardware like Kubuntu/Ubuntu. Especially if you’re new to Linux.

Also, if you’re going to do something ridiculous like this why not just start with Gentoo? Don’t use the GUI installer either! Go the LFS+ route and take care picking your file systems and compile flags 😁

BTW: Out of all the random people I’ve ever known to “try Linux”, the ones who had the best first-time experience all used KDE (Plasma) as their desktop. That means Kubuntu, Bazzite, or SteamOS. For newbies, always go with KDE. Seriously: Its interface for settings and the launcher are familiar enough to both Windows and Mac users that they don’t have a hard time while also being different enough that they don’t make bad assumptions about how things work (which is a problem for Gnome).

Want gas to be cheaper? Get more people to buy electric cars!

If it relies on SIM cards that means it doesn’t work at all with regular computers or when the device connects over WiFi, right? Seems kinda useless.

Of course, all age verification checks on the Internet are useless regardless but this Japanese method seems extra useless.

The most fowl of homes.

It lasted this long because nobody used it.

“Look at my expensive ostrich cup!”

“Wait! No! Don’t touch it! Its purpose is to be passed down through generations until some descendant realizes its uselessness and donates it to a museum!”

I’ve said it so many times: Everyone that’s ever partnered with Trump ultimately regrets it. Always.

The assumption here is that the AI-generated code wasn’t reviewed and polished before submission. I’ve written stuff with AI and sometimes it does a fantastic job. Other times it generates code that’s so bad it’s a horror show.

Over time, it’s getting a little bit better. Years from now it’ll be at that 99% “good enough” threshold and no one will care that code was AI-generated anymore.

The key is that code is code: As long as someone is manually reviewing and testing it, you can save a great deal of time and produce good results. It’s useful.

It would turn into a prince! An unstable prince of undefined behavior.
