It would be real money if the federal reserve issued it. Cash still exists, is that a feature for criminals or does it benefit the poor and unbanked?

Because electronic payments that do not require a middleman are inherently better than funneling everything through centralized organizations like Visa. They could make their own dollar based blockchain that has secure and private transactions based on their own stablecoin. It would be the same as a cash payment.

I'd love to see the federal reserve issue a no fee stablecoin, though I wonder if it would be secure in the long term with quantum coming.

I have already made my argument, thanks for stopping in.

Who is without bias?

Certainly not you

They have a vested interest in making Russia look weak. They are not unbiased.

Not mod, but a Ukrainian source writing about Russian losses seems a bit biased to me.

What's your point? The Chinese government backdoored phone switches all over the world. Neither country should trust the other with vital communication or transportation infrastructure. Whataboutism does not equal trust.

No thanks. In the end, this thread is about whether the United States should blindly trust technology from China and the answer to that is no.

American shortcomings do not excuse Chinese atrocities. I'll refer you to the Ughyur, Tibetan and factory dorms people for more info.

Don't pretend like they can be trusted. China's lack of human rights, backdoors in hardware, hostility to it's neighbors and constant hacking attempts are a problem.

Oh yay, another AI Pin or glasses or assistant thing that won't be worth buying. Yay.

Sounds like a see a doctor thing to me.

What an old-timey insult from that conniving flim-flamming charlatan snake oil salesman.

I love the pro wrestling analogy for the way Trump approaches everything. I have long thought that myself. I sometimes wonder if his involvement in the WWE and even his own comedic roast were just exercises for him to learn to never break character.

I regularly watch the clip of him getting hit with the Stone Cold Stunner. It probably didn't hurt him but it still brings me joy.

I'm mostly surprised that pagers still exist.

Gotta wonder if that would work. My impression is that they are kind of looping inside the model to improve quality but that the looping is internal to the model. Can't wait for someone to make something similar for Ollama.

Ok, MAGA

He has the best brain. The greatest brain. One time, for some unknown reason, he took a cognitive test meant for dementia patients. He supposedly passed but he claimed it was hard for him. Such a stable genius.

He should be sued for slander
