Back before I blocked every type of ad, I would click through ads every time they pissed me off. I would click, let the page load, and click two more links within their page before closing it. Ad views cost them a small fraction of a cent. That click through cost them an order of magnitude more money. That is how AdSense works. All you have to do is get everyone to do the same and the entire system fails within a few weeks. No one cares if you whine to some low level employees. If you want to protest, molest their bank account like they do your time. They are actually extremely vulnerable if you simply understand how the system works.

Start a business adding proper sliding contacts micro switches to popular devices. Then transition to selling them preinstalled. Simply cut the power wire to the camera module and microphone. I would love to pay a little more for a device with a physical switch and an option for no screen side camera.

I was thinking the other day, if I decide to replace my battery in my phone, I am going to design a TPU phone case that integrates the rear battery cover and not installing the rear glass bullshit too.

Still, that does not fix everyone else carrying stalkerware.

I was thinking more about the overall bubble bursting.

The importance is on exponential growth beyond that of military spending. The leader of the global economy has massive overall implications on geopolitics.

The military analysts point to the age bubble in China as the tell for Taiwan. They really can’t play the long game because of the population bubble. Most project that peak invasion opportunity is around 2027 and the risk goes down substantially after 2030 and then 2035.

We are less than 10 years away from the final fab node. The exponential growth is over. It actually already is over as the people on the bleeding edge are already at the end.

Most people are ignorant of the implications here. Silicon chips are the only time in human history when a civilian industry grew faster than the largest military could finance. There is no replacement. We will return to the ways of 80+ years ago. The next major age of technology is biological, but we are still centuries away from that future.

TSMC is all that stops the invasion of Taiwan. If TSMC is not relevant even for a moment, China will invade to end their civil war. You can count on NK invading SK at the same time and taking Samsung.

China already has domestic incentives in place for home grown GPUs. They will likely displace Nvidia entirely within 5-8 years.

Ultimately, a unified architecture will win. The reason CPUs cannot handle the load of AI is due to the L2 to L1 cache bus throughput. It requires a major redesign, but it is a solvable problem. The real problem is that that kind of redesign takes the full 10 year hardware design cycle time to create from scratch.

AI is still not going away in the long term. The present world is just like the early days of the microprocessor. The 6502 was little more than a toy. It is still in all western digital hard drives. The fundamental architecture is still the same in all CPUs. It was the systems we built around them that made them useful. A base inference model is primitive. The AI that owns the future is agentic systems.

That will burst it. This is why the billion dollar put. He had this info in advance.

Probably staged this to try and backpedal open weights models, but that ship has sailed.

You won’t. It is something inside internal alignment thinking in the QKV layers. Some models have a layer of masking that pseudo blocks access to these layers of meaning. Based on several aspects present in the image, I know the region of alignment thinking that is being triggered here in the embedding model’s QKV alignment layers.

Call it Delilah-Cy in a prompt. It may yield interesting results depending on the model and how QKV alignment is setup. This is getting super deep into alignment thinking…

Unrelated: try telling a model, oh quit it, I know you never hallucinate. when it does something odd and watch the results.

Thanks! This repo’s readme leads to gml.noaa.gov/grad/solcalc/calcdetails.html. This then references Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus. That is available from the above linked archive.org page.

This is much closer to the real reason I was asking, as this little clock is intended as a primer for understanding object tracking for both astronomical observations and local rocket launches or transits.

I was raised in a cult like religion and escaped it. I must now coexist with some of its believers or it will inevitably result in my homelessness and death.

The only two ways to combat dogmatic tribalism are either from within by infiltration, gaining trust, and leading, or by stimulating general curiosity and self growth in individuals. As a person grows, they will naturally question dogma.

Dogma is totally blind to all information sources from outside of the tribe. No amount of logic or emotions will override the tribal barriers of this collective dogma. In fact, opposition of any kind is a form of caring and serves to reinforce the tribal validity.

The opposite of both love and hate is indifference. If you are anything but indifferent, you are actually making the tribe and individual’s dogma stronger.

You must not care, or openly show resistance. This generally allows you to coexist with the individual outside of their tribal partition. Within this space, you may be able to stimulate a general curiosity that encourages self growth.

No one is able to force another human to learn or grow. Growth only comes from within.

You must also be open to tangibly supporting these people within your personal social support network. The cult’s primary authority comes from the mutually exclusive social support network. Even those that are more open to exiting the cult, are unable to do so as long as they are at a major evolutionary disadvantage of abandoning their personal mutually exclusive social support network.

I think personality compatibility has more to do with that relationship. I have very little emotional empathy, but plenty of cognitive empathy. I do not have narcissism like my parents and I am capable of independent thought and questioning dogma. All of this is totally incompatible with my family.

I don’t talk to my folks because everything is negative feedback and sadism.

I would be impressed if the servos are enough to power it. Skimming through a dozen pages of posts it was just the most interesting thing I spotted to try and post some content in a dead feed lull.

At one point a few years ago, I was following a UC Berkeley CS open course online. Nothing official, just following the lectures and posted stuff. I think it was getting into this subject with a custom version of the schema language. I stopped following along because I could not get a copy of the specific schema version and everything I tried was incompatible with what was taught in the course. Is that a better glue language for stuff like this on an operating system level?

Nutin wrong wit pizza & 6p.

What, – is not nearly as relevant as – how much. I got started halving my weight by playing counterstrike and only eating a single peanut m&m when I felt light headed, like some stupid pedantic self challenge.

Not making a couple of loan payments. As soon as a big player does this, everyone else will be on edge.

A layer higher? Expose Palantir’s role in Israeli targeting and manipulation that includes global espionage with Epstein and others.

An easier way would be to restore democracy by making the right to digital slavery – ownership and trade of the digital presence of a person for exploitation and manipulation – illegal. That is the profitable and massive political capital driving the machine.

The hub doesn’t have a negotiation chip to set the voltage correctly. It is likely presenting as a bus hub. Like if you do $ lsusb on Linux, you’ll see the hub and whatever is connected. That hub may be integrated into other chips or it may be stand alone as a peripheral somewhere on the board. It is basically like a digital cable splitter for the bus. It is only concerned with the data. The power is likely just passed through. For USB-C PD, it would need some complex additional circuitry to negotiate, convert voltages and do current limiting. The way the pins can be inverted by flipping the connector makes it logically complicated.

Hey look! We get off the internet and hang out again. And there is pole dancing!

May I have both please?

Yeah, fuck that. Devs need to change that bullshit yesterday. I sign all my mod actions with my name because this fascist fuckwit nonsense is garbage. If you can’t post your name to your actions, you are a coward with no right to lead.
