@Armadillosoft I did. But there is a stark difference between finding someone in the US Navy willing to attack boats outside the US, and finding someone willing to attack the US.

The UK government is to spend "£36 million to increase the power of one of the UK’s leading supercomputing centres".
The £36m will go on 16GB of RAM.

We know why they want the info, but demanding it in a ransom note on DoJ letterhead was, uh, kind of an unforced error. Whatever large feline that bites asses is going to make an appearance.
@oldhaapi I actually don’t know why they want this. I can speculate, but none of the obvious explanations make complete sense.
@randahl He belongs behind bars
@grumpydad two people were murdered under his command, and fortunately, murder has no statute of limitations.

> AI Agents Are Mathematically Incapable of Doing Functional Work, Paper Finds. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-agents-incapable-math
> "Ignore the rhetoric that tech CEOs spew onstage and pay attention to what the researchers that work for them are finding, and you’ll find that even the AI industry agrees that the tech has some fundamental limitations baked into its architecture."
NOTE: This continues the bad practice of referring to 'generative AI' as 'AI'. Not all AI is LLMs…

* You can follow WAY more people without your timeline getting overwhelmed - OR - follow the same number of people, you'll see all of everyone's posts and be all caught up very quickly
* You see, exclusively, posts from people you actually want to see posts from
* You see the things that these favoured people posted while doing a thing or thinking about a thing, not just stuff they found while they were stroking their phone on the toilet
* Moving from Home tab to Boosts tab is a conscious "Yes I'm out of good stuff but not yet Satisfied, bring on the lower-quality stuff that there's more of," and that is a good reminder to Stop

You are correct in how elections legally work but there are no checks and balances anymore. Trump’s fascist gestapo will see to that. All of us non-Americans hope that he fails but since the Republicans always fall in line, and he controls the military, who, who is going to stop him.
