  • That's... What I'm here for

    Edit of missed opportunity:

    And so this guy comes up to me, big guy, tall guy, tears in his big black eyes, and he says, "sir, as many clones as you want, we have them, sir. Would you like to see the factory?"

    And I said, "Of course, are these clones manufactured in America? I want to see them!" And so now were charging 30% tariffs on these clones from Kamino, as of August 1. Or maybe not. I don't know. STOP TALKING ABOUT EPSTEIN!!!!

  • Google is tracking you all over the damn place. Has been for 6 months using browser fingerprinting, Tag Manager, and tracking pixels.

    If you just type in Reddit.com, or CNN, or facebook, Google ad trackers see you and literally everything you look at and interact with.

  • I know, it's just kind of laughably shouting they don't know what either an audit or conflict of interest actually are.

    The hardest part some times is finding an audit firm that isn't stupid expensive, but also won't do a shit job and give you a report that looks like some knock-off free LLM didn't write it to maximize their own payday. I love a good audit report with findings, it means I didn't waste money. But my shit is (well, was, at another place years back) locked down tight, so we didn't ever expect anything terrible.

  • At this scale, a geosynchronous solar power satellite beaming down power as microwaves actually seems chapter and more reasonable.

    You know, other than the single point of failure in space part. I guess it's a bad decade for that idea.

  • Hold up. So Lemvotes is basically churning Palantir style data on who should get sent to some camp if they even accidentally upvote something with the P location name in it?

    Why they do that?

  • I'm sorry - paying for an audit is somehow a conflict of interest? How exactly is that?

    As someone who had to contract auditing firms every year, and personally sign off in their report as part of our compliance, I would love to hear how I should have ....what? Won the audit lottery? Applied for some sort of government assistance? Prayed to an audit fairy godmother?

    Who the F else is paying for our audit? I want free audits! I bet everyone does.

  • The pets do need the training to understand that the sounds, when the button says them, mean communication to the human. It's actually a pretty sophisticated intellectual jump, and not all pets necessarily get it.

    Typically one starts with "outside" as a non-food common request (for indoor peta). So an owner starts by saying "outside" and associating just that word with going outside (not the full "you wanna go out?"). Once the pet gets past the conceptual hurdle is the button means the thing, after that it's much easier to add new words.

  • AI isn't needed, dogs and cats can be trained to use sound buttons to express complex thoughts and emotions. IIRC, they can have a vocabulary of something like 100-200 words used commonly in the household.

    Your pets already understand you and a lot of what you say. You may just not understand them, and AI isn't going to fix that.

  • Random smattering of Eurovision picks, Who The Hell is Edgar by Teya and Salena (Austria) is a hilarious banger and commentary on Spotify profits to artists. Also, No Rules by Windows95man was pure brilliance.

    Power metal classics and a few covers of 80s hits.

    TV theme songs, but the full full 3-4 minute song.

    Weird Al's Hamilton Polka is top tier.

    Plus some Disco era A and B sides, West African old school "palm wine music," songs from a few musicals including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode.

    You know, just, like, normal stuff.
