Investment rule
  • I do not support it. However the thrust of the article was to invest in water treatment and water conservation tech companies essentially.

    But yeah. Water, food housing and healthcare should all be free.

  • Nuclear Power Was Once Shunned at Climate Talks. Now, It’s a Rising Star.
  • Thorium Salt reactors can recycle their water source and also use water from waste treatment or even sea water as they're not high pressure water reactors.

    When you don't need the result of power generation to be fissionable material for warheads there are a lot more options available to you, such as using the waste from older reactors to generate energy and output much less reactive material.

    Nuclear missiles are an albatross around the neck of nuclear power.

  • Is AI progress stuck?
  • YES

    The transforms these LLMs are built on are not as efficient as they are novel. Without repeatability there is little hope for improvement. There isn't enough energy in the world to get to an AGI using a transform model. We're also running out of LLM free datasets to train on.

  • Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds
  • Manufacturer tells customer that car drives itself so driver assumes car can drive itself. Car cannot in fact drive itself.

    That and the hidden door handles and exotic nature of the fires, and likelyhood of a fire in a high speed impact.

    Yeah. This makes sense.

  • Russia’s War Economy Is Hitting Its Limits
  • I fucking hate that Trump got elected.

    Xi will float the Russian war effort until Trump pulls American support and since NATO can't get their shit together Ukraine loses territory and becomes defacto satellite as Zelensky won't be reelected if they lose the war.

    Hopefully Zelensky can get to a friendly government before the Russian LGMs or FSB get him.

  • Trump’s Pick to Lead U.S. Military Has Tattoos Linked to White Supremacists and Nazis
  • The M-16 did jam however it was due to shitty mags, cheaping out on the barrel, not issuing the grunts proper cleaning kits, and not giving them a manual of arms for handling the new weapon in a jungle environment.

    Also Mr. president of the universe you're wanted in the galactic council rooms.

  • Yes this is how dog-whistles work. If you want more context you can check out what the SPLC and Unicorn Riot have been up to

    There's also a network of folk in WP and Nationalist discords and truth social etc. that are collecting and reporting metadata to the authorities. Which is difficult as the FBI often do nothing unless there's CSAM or other pedo shit going on.

  • there’s specific reference to the Jerusalem Cross here. https://www.mccaininstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/white-supremacy-and-anti-government-groups-read-ahead-materials.pdf The Adl link is to look up other terms in general

        White supremacist anti-Muslim narratives generally refer to Islam as an invading force that isn’t just incompatible with Western society, but is also an active threat to Western society and cultural norms. In this context, white supremacists have used Crusader-themed imagery and rhetoric, like the Jerusalem Cross, the Knights Templar and “Deus Vult,” as dog whistles to promote anti-Muslim hate
