We need to get Clinton, now being persecuted by White House for Epstein links, to say "I did not have sexual relations with that man, Mr Trump." as a non-denial.

If we don't deflect from Zionist Supremacist control of US, then Iran wins.

Conspired with Russians

Never allow this disinformation to permeate. Epstein was key Israel intelligence/leadership figure. Barak would take orders/suggestions from him to not inform Mossad leadership of his information/tactics. The funding for his honeypot blackmail program came from the circular US aid to Israel to US political interference/domination programs of Israel.

US oligarchy allying with Zionazi control of US is simply their path to pilfer all of US wealth, because if money equals speech, then money = zionazi+allies control.

ridiculous take. 90s were good because great money was made in the west through Yeltsin corruption of Russia.

When no longer a client state, CIA/west took usual nazi diminishment attitutes towards it, and any Russian blind eye to neonazi click farms for GOP voting action, is simply not Russia's obligation to stop western implosion.

time when western libs finally understand Russia is not their friend.

It is neoliberal majority that supports war on Russia, and embraces the propaganda, that the US ever stopped hating/diminishing Russia. The new definition of tankie is that supremacist war on Russia is deserved, and not even the point that it is a losing proposition matters. You're a tankie even if you just don't want to bankrupt the west, or the signal of losing a demonic war will embolden more resistance to warmongering justifies collapse for trying.

This is the most ridiculous topic/attack in the history of cybersecurity.

A LLM can be used to accuse someone without proof that their TLS traffic is on a banned/blackmailable topic.

The way TLS works is that the actual LLM provider gets all of your decrypted traffic. They are already encouraged by government/NSA/political in groups/Mossad to share anything of interest, or to datamine for future considerations of interest.

Even if this training dataset gets a 98% correct rate on whether you are a pervert, that should only be good enough to serve you ads for boner pills, until the minority report dystopia, just uses it against its political enemies.

A classification problem is correlation vs causation. Sunspots and mini skirts have been correlated with stock market returns to some degree, but it tends to be a tenuous connection not guaranteed to hold up over time, or to actually have any meaningful relevance whatsoever. It's easy to oversell models.

Dystopian neutrality in article.

without discriminating on grounds of protected characteristics

AI classification is trained based on supervised (the right answers are predetermined) learning. MechaHitler for the fascist nationalism's sake, will rate Obama's face as a poor employee, and Trump's as the bestest employee.

Open training data sets would be subject to 1. zero competitive advantage to a model, 2. massive complaints about any specific training data.

For some jobs, psycopaths AND loyalty are desirable traits, even though they can be opposite traits. Honesty, integrity, intelligence can be desirable traits, or obstacles to desperate loyalty. My point is that if there are many traits determined by faces, much more training data is needed to detect them, and then human hiring decision based on 10 or 30 traits matching to a (impossibly unique) position, where there direct manager only cares about loyalty, without being too talented, but higher level managers might prefer a candidate with potential to replace their direct manager, but all of them care about race or pregnancy risk, and then post training based on some "illegal characteristics".

A Gattaca situation where, everyone has easy time getting great job, and moving to a greater job, OR being shut out of all jobs, creates a self contradicting prediction on "loyalty/desperation" controlability traits. If job duties are changed to include blow job services, then surely those agreeable make a better employee, despite any facial ticks responding to suggestion.

Human silent "illegal discrimination" is not eliminated/changed, but the new capability, you can use a computer to do the interviewing, and waste more interviewees' time at no human cost to employer is why this will be a success. A warehousing company recently looked at facial expressions to determine attention to safety, and this leads to "The AI punishments to your life will continue until you smile more." Elysium's automated parole incident interviews is a good overview of the dystopia.

tech firm salaries

link to what this means?

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

yes. they never went into Ukraine, or even referendum liberated new Russia.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

It's more in Europe, though I don't have data. Just the last 10 years has had an incredible amount of +5-10C days, and eastern Atlantic/Arctic is warm in late fall.

relative zero is an even number! There I said it, and I don't care what any of you think of me.

spill proof drink containers are game changer!

 

16gb ram. nvida GTX1650. Triple monitors

want to run existing windows 10 installation in VM, with write access. This is mostly for tax software.

plan is new SSD drive. Make 2 partitions for windows, with backup to both. Let it be C: drive? Then reformat PCIe M2 drive for linux.

I only care about the VM not FUBARing the windows installation, even if I have a 2nd backup of it.

I play one game that has a linux version: beyond all reason.

I've used debian/ubuntu based linux before. I don't need/want to highly customize performance/features. Just working out of box.

 

Canada relies on foreign auto executives for its auto industry. It already provides huge taxpayer subsidies per job. There is certainly a possible future where all of those foreign loyal companies side with US to destroy Canadian auto production/investment.

  1. China could help save Canadian auto industry by providing motors and batteries for Canadian made EVs. Chinese investment to make goods from Canadian resources in Canada is a path for scale that includes global export potential of autos and other industrial goods to whole globe including China.

  2. If it doesn't make economic sense to make our own tube socks, it doesn't make sense to make overly expensive cars, either. There is a stronger national security argument for apparel, that needs yearly replacements, than solar, batteries, and autos that last 20+ years. More so, when they are not dependent on continuous international fuel supply chains/geopolitics.

Pressure on foreign executives to support Canadian production includes access to Canadian market. The stability of status quo will appeal to most people. But the threat/plan B of cooperation with China is both a path to manufacturing and resource FDI paid by China instead of taxpayers, and better quality of life through better value goods.

 

emissions down in last 10 months of 2024. Very likely that trailing 12 months are down too (not covered in article, but something they will pick up)

 

28% growth over 2023. Forecast for 2025 is 215-250GW, down, but original forecast from same agency/report for 2024 was only 220GW (achieved 26%+ higher than target). March 2025 report shows 42% increase in solar capacity (or production actually) over last year, at end of February. 930gw. 33gw in 2 months is behind forecast on linear basis, but this is slow period, traditionally . Production can go up higher than capacity if it was sunnier than last year.

Solar module output expanded 13.5% to 588 GW. Forecast for 2025 is up to 583gw. It exported 235gw of solar panels. up 13% in 2024. Europe was down for the year, but up in last quarter. https://www.infolink-group.com/energy-article/solar-topic-china-pv-module-exports-yoy-growth-all-regions-except-europe

500gw per year is enough to match double Germany's annual electricity production. Not that Germany isn't already a leader in renewables, but just that it is a significant permanent displacement of fossil fuel electricity, and with EVs, of Oil.

The important metric of energy transition is the global pace. Whether it's all done by one country doesn't actually matter.

 

Panama, afaik doesn't get paid. Just gets continued invasion threats no matter how much they bend over.

El Salvador could double its GDP if they can just keep 1.75M prisoners alive. ($35B/year)

 

Section is towards middle. They don't disclose how much the surplus is, but the obvious conclusion is that if Canadians never buy another US made vehicle, then it is a net reduction in jobs/revenue for US makers even if entire Canadian auto sector is destroyed. It is a significant ask for US investment if end result is losing money/US jobs for it.

 

Link is Cleveland cliffs closing 2 iron mines. Demand from Canada is a factor.

Nucor, US Steel, and Cleveland Cliffs have all forecasted bigger losses for next quarter despite the extortion pricing that tariffs give them. Narrative is that steel using US manufacturing will not take off as promised.

Canadian policy needs to make sure that damage is maximized.

 

What is Canada/Ontario doing?
