Just complimented a girl on her Halloween costume but turns out it was just some sort of high fashion outfit. Tough scene either way

Everybody talking about the defense angle here, but I think the more important application is for scaring the hoes.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI. x.com/tokufxug/statu…

What’s with the hipster coffee scene and light roast nowadays. If I wanted to drink a tea I’d order a tea. Embrace the darkness.

Oh shit the NSA backdoors are gonna be out in the open
@Suhailard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)

France's budget gets more revenue from oil&gas sales (through taxes) than Algeria
In total the combined EU revenue from oil&gas sales taxes is about $300B
Who's the real petrostate?

I'm noticing the growing possibility that Europe becomes very poor in the course of the next 10-20 years. You have the following factors:
- Heavy industry totally uncompetitive against China, automakers etc. rapidly losing ground
- Services industry totally uncompetitive against AI
- No natural resources, or regulatory hurdles making their extraction impossible
- No access to the new economy (no AI, no data centers, uncompetitive energy sector)
- Client states caught in one-way welfare ratchets, spend reallocation + investment well-nigh impossible
This seems under-contemplated. And we're talking really, seriously dirt poor: taken to its logical conclusion, many countries will have much, much smaller services and manufacturing industries -- economies may become much more heavily skewed toward natural resources and energy markets, where Europe has made it impossible for itself to compete.
And I'm not saying that this is likely to happen, it's an extreme case. But the probability is greater than zero and appears to be growing. The EV of that is so negative that it's surprising to me that it's not coming up more.

Just bought an 8 ton portable hydraulic punch, press, and iron worker for $500. China is helping American reindustrialation by dumping this stuff

Was at a Sichuan hole-in-the-wall having noodles for lunch. Two Indian women came in, and I noticed the waiter made them pay before getting their food.
