  • Come on man, use some critical thinking and context here. He clearly is not saying that cars some kind of an issue here. He was making an idle point about traffic jams in the US with hurricane evacuations and how that doesn't apply in this situation. He's not even making a value judgement on anything here.

  • And the article is making the case explicitly that this is bad. He is saying that 9/11 brought about terrible actions from us and that we should learn lessons and not repeat our mistakes. He's actually trying to convince the reader that we should not "swallow" another genocide.

  • FYI, Publii is really good. It supports importing existing WordPress blogs and has a familiar interface. Great for those that don't need built in comments and can use something like Cactus (if you like Matrix).

  • You keep describing it as jingoistic and the author didn't claim or even appear to be heavily nationalistic and in fact appeared quite the opposite.

  • ...did you read the post? It feels like you did not read the content of the post.

  • I think we just have to accept that marketing has to dumb down and generalize for the mass market.

  • So they’re using our data and also getting paid for it

    Yeah? Isn't that the point of paying for a music service? I pay, they give me access to music and curate it in a way that would be enjoyable to me. How could they do that without some information about me? This is a prime example of what a company should use your data for.

    This logic is really sending me, man.

  • If it's a neural network doing it, then that's fine.

  • If GM thinks they have the rizz that Tesla has/had they are absolutely insane.

  • When I was purchasing my car about 6 years ago I was sure I was going to for for a Nissan, as I currently had one that I loved. But they didn't offer any cars with Android Auto support and that was a deal breaker. It is a make or break thing for me, and I suspect as more and more people adopt it, it will be for them too. We might see this kind of pressure delayed, as car purchases don't happen every year for most people, and the CarPlay/Android Auto software has really only become quality must-have software within the past few years. Yet, as people approach the time to purchase a new car, I believe the pressure on automakers to integrate these technologies will intensify.

  • Windows can run all games

    Tell that to some of the games I want to play. Splinter Cell - Blacklist, I'm looking at you.

  • Yeah, lol. Who could have seen that coming?

    I guess Microsoft.

  • That's right. You don't skip your responsibilities because you think another link down the chain won't fulfill their duties. You do your job and make whoever skips out on their responsibility to put their name to it. Doesn't matter if nothing practical comes of it. Integrity and faith in "the system" demands no less.

  • It was corrupted in much the same way the stock market was corrupted. That whole thing is mostly speculative gambling now, when it was supposed to about profit sharing with companies that were either sound investments currently with steady profits or up-and-coming companies that had potential. Now it's just casino gambling betting on prices that are completely divorced from reality that expects infinite growth of made up value.

  • It wasn't altruistic per se, but that doesn't make it nefarious, either. At it's core, it was just a network connectivity design that resists node failure. It was us that used that foundation to create a virtual space that everyone could participate in. We now have outsized bad actors like Google and Microsoft and Amazon and alphabet agencies that are trying to influence that virtual space, but its culture was built by us.

  • I'm really interested in this. Is Exllama2 a separately trained variant of Llama2? The use restrictions of Llama2 have always irked me and a similarly performing open variant of that architecture is very intriguing.

    Nevermind. This is a processor that runs the model, not the model itself. My bad.
