Best Ted talk ever?

This one is spot on... if you never see another one, see this one.

(cheaters can start about 8:30 in to skip the history)

Robson has Obama more for Oligarch billionaires and Corporations than Trump.

This is apparently what horse pills will do for you.

An Executive Order to Increase the Crime Rate ... is SO Trump.

And his Base is oblivious as usual. While swing voters are just busy trying to get by in Corporate-Owned America... and are wondering now, "What was I thinking?".

But they are still busy trying to absorb all their financial loss perpetrated on them by the Corporations, who really unsurprisingly took advantage of the Covid crisis to increase profits.

Someone is missing a piece of history.... or three. The Southern Strategy where one of the parties dropped the racist South, and the other one, the Republicans, gleefully gobbled them up.

And now they vote solid Reddish Orange Racist Party... with Nazi overtones.

Yeah, that was cold blooded.

have the money, not sell

That would certainly be a 'what passes as a conservative these days' take.

Or it could be that Gates has an actual conscience, and as he notes would rather sell the money go to help child disease, and the influence be positive democracy-oriented rather than pandering to Nazis as Herr Musk does.

He's also spreading money and free media attention around to the various Nazis in various places.

Well, Hell... now he might get a Medal from Trump!

I ax'ed DS (we have a thing) if 1Nut is actually Chinese... instant blue screen kernel mode crash.

A low level error, but still....

"DeepSeek sparks global AI selloff, Nvidia losses about $593 billion of value"

Well... obviously Sitzbath has always been the Genius around here.

HAHAHAHAA!

- It's open source.

Wow, really? Who could have known that? Except for it's in the article and the posts here. And he even felt the need to 'splain how that werks... which is also in both.

To whom, no one knows.

And no one ever said it 'replaces' anyone.

Well, except maybe the lowest level coders.... hence my concern for him.

Barkley has to be ecstatic after all those wasted years at the G'ints

He's certainly playing like he is. 'Member a couple of years ago (barely) when running backs were passe, and it didn't matter who you had?

That didn't last long. Lots of older 'retread' backs looked pretty good this year.

If KC can slow him down even, they'll likely win.

"So, NOW he's pulling out!" - Melanoma

Yeah... those people didn't need no stinkin' pre-emptive pardons from Biden.

- I spent a lot of time in San Jose

We covered the whole Valley, and lived in Palo Alto and Santa Clara. My daughter was born at Kaiser Permanente.

It was like a wild west atmosphere for those who weren't there; I had a dozen tech recruiters, and had fun myself dealing with start-ups... like Atari and HP. Lots of crazy stories from that time... like when one of the 'start-ups' turned out to be a clandestine CIA op!

Or when the IBM guy who was the subject of news stories one weekend for shooting up his condo with with like 50 shotgun blasts because the company had cut off his 'remote access' to the computer lab.

He turned up in one of our interview rooms that week looking for a job!

Then, the too typical story of the client who had just taken his company public; was a sudden multi-millionaire on paper... and died tragically that week when his new Jag went offa one of the cliffs above town, while he and a yacht salesman were snorting coke rather than watching where they were going.

But all and all a great experience, great friends, and GREAT weather! The thing about it was, CA was a nice place, but it was already pretty much 'taken' even back then.

Trump D... Sucker? Sorry you are having to deal with that disease, FishPus.

I do hear that it's incurable though.

Awww... I got Sitzbath all excited and he's splashed all the water out!

I see where he's upset though... his CS degree just bit the dust; the kid in the video in #9 builds software programs, 'in cursive' now.

Of course, I was werking with 'hi tech' companies beginning in the late 70's, from CEOs to compiler developers to firmware engineers, so I may have forgotten more about the industry as a whole than he ever knew.

And no need to know how to Code now in many cases now... hope he doesn't lose his job!

Definitely not a Chinese bot, though... those are much brighter.

Possibly Russian or NK.

AI Overview

"Deep Space" as a specific AI system is currently considered superior to many other AI options in the field of aerospace design and optimization due to its ability to efficiently explore complex design spaces with significantly fewer simulations, making it faster and more cost-effective, especially when dealing with intricate aircraft or spacecraft designs where traditional methods can be computationally expensive; however, the "best" AI depends entirely on the specific application and needs of the user" (more)

Musk has become increasingly vocal about his views on UK and German politics in recent weeks.

And on Saturday, Musk spoke virtually at a campaign rally for the Alternative for Germany, Germany's far-right party. Germany is set to hold national elections in February.

In December, Musk said in an op-ed for Welt am Sonntag, a prominent German newspaper, that the AfD was "the last spark of hope for this country."

"I think in the US foreigners aren't allowed to give money. Other countries maybe should adopt safeguards to make sure superrich foreigners aren't distorting their elections," Gates told The Times."

"I thought the rules of the game were you picked a finite number of things to spout about that you cared for, focused on a few critical things, rather than telling people who they should vote for," Gates said.

"If someone is super smart, and he is, they should think how they can help out. But this is populist stirring," Gates added."

'

"populist stirring" gotta love that.

Mediate also had a take on the story:
