#AI industry begging Trump for exemption from planned chip tariffs that
will devastate consumer devices
barring something large and stupider happening, i think today's pivot is likely to be the biological computer wheeze with an "AI" allegedly based on human neural tissue
what if robocop but dumb as shit
this can easily wait till next week, but i've got a year of notes here so
anyone got exciting insights into this line of VC-taunting rubbish?
@davidgerard Random data point:
Bioengineers have managed to create human brain organoids which they claim are at the “4 year old” developmental level.

I'm disgusted: far-right is worse than AIDS, it spreads everywhere. And I'm sorry to be offensive right now, I'd not like to disturb anyone's feelings - I'm referring to the virus who can feel offended this way. No HIV virus, despite being what it is, deserves to be compared to a far-right individual. They are much worse as externally they look like humans.

In other words the government does not care about or understand education, and is quite willing to sell kids down the river for some tech money and to push unethical and unproven technology that has no basis in pedagogy. /4

"Opinionated" software sounds great until you find out the author has the stupidest opinions you've ever heard in your life.
this is beyond parody they then describe the "trapdoor one-way function" literally in terms of the evil backdoored cryptosystem that DH 1976 specifically warned against. i honestly can't believe this was written in 1993???
Observe that there is no longer the need to exchange keys in secret prior to communicating.
they REALLY want you to associate security with "someone else controls my key for me =]"
Also, there is only one key pair associated with each user. Public key cryptosystems thus overcome the key distribution and
[page break]
management problems inherent with private key systems.

Here's another neat Bonfire feature: organisation profiles.
You can create a shared profile for your co-op, collective, project, or any other organisation or team, and invite trusted people to manage it with you.
Each team member signs in with their usual Bonfire account, with no insecure sharing of passwords, and together they can post as the organisation, access its feeds and private messages, manage its settings, and add or remove other members.
It’s similar to managing a Facebook Page, but built for the #fediverse: one shared public identity, securely managed by multiple people.

I was worried whether Mac OS 9 would like my new monitor, but it works great! Actually gives me wide screen resolutions.
Good bye old 2k friend, hello 5k P3 friend
It’s annoying because the old monitor gave me so much trouble with Mac OS 9 that it spooked me from getting newer monitors.
I got this one for the office and decided to try it out
the framework of data flow and visibility that is necessary for extremely high-performance i/o orchestration in e.g. a build system or an HPC simulation is also exactly the framework necessary to analyze how to construct a safe CSPRNG
