Trump tells Joe Rogan he supports getting rid of income taxes and instead relying on tariffs—’Yeah, sure, but why not?’
  • I'm guessing this will pass bipartisan, since both dems and republicans could do more central planning around what people consume then. Dems would want to use it to increase sustainability in consumption and both parties will want to push more American manufacturing (or at least non-Chinese).

    Also one great side effect might be that people will rely more on local black markets for necessities, this increasing community cohesion and sustainability.

  • Why Meta and Snap are spending billions on AR glasses
  • Yup, I always wonder why phones don't have camera covers built in, like modern laptops do. Rethorically speaking.. I know why they don't.

    You could probably build a live mm resolution 3D map of every large city with all those smartphone cameras.

  • Why Meta and Snap are spending billions on AR glasses
  • If it were up to me, I'd regulate these into high hell.

    1. Mandatory camera covers
    2. Mandatory really obvious recording lights, recording sounds
    3. Auto-removing anyone from the camera feed that hasn't explicitly agreed to appear on your camera. And replacing them with a black box.
    4. Geofencing to disable the camera near any place that hasn't explicitly opted-in, as well as removing the place from a recording at any distance.

    All as tamper proof hardware features. And make it a felony to modify them to remove these safeguards.

    Too hard to implement? Good

  • Smartphone buyers meh on AI, care much more about battery life - 9to5Mac
  • I would love it, if AI was only used for useful things, like translation, spelling correction, sorting my photos, Plant/Object ID, actual useful SST, doing Google's old job of actually finding the information I want in the sea of SEO garbage or badly written product descriptions.

    But no, I already know it'll primarily be used to spy on you better while draining your battery. At least with all the past spying you knew the data processing isn't THAT advanced. But with AI it'll be like having a literal spy following you around at all times.

    And from the state of existing models that are small enough to run on a phone, it'll still be years until they are actually reliable enough to be useful.

  • Elon Musk adds $30 billion to his net worth in a single day: ‘Tesla will become the most powerful company in the world’
  • Except for maybe their charging network, range and self driving, their cars are absolute shit. I don't understand why their valuation is so high now that there is so much competition.

    they are boring, ugly, badly made, expensive, horrible interior design, everything is propietary garbage, everything is stuffed with unnecessary chips (why do you need 4 chips for a door handle?) or garbage software.

    We'll see how they fare with cheap Chinese cars flooding the market at half the price for the same features. Jk they'll be banned because of legal corruption.

  • FSF is working on freedom in machine learning applications
  • It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

    It's the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

    Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

    ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA

  • Crime and Punishment
  • as a punishment we should put them in tiny cardboard or oncrete boxes in a sea of boxes that are a two hour's drive away from their workplace and they also won't get any ammenities. then we make them pay it off over 60 years living paycheck to paycheck doing the most miserable and soulless jobs we can find.

    bwahahaha wouldn't that be evil!

    Sadly I can't find a good quality version of the Japanese version, only of the horrible English version

    So Ra No Wo To AMV

    Seems like this anime has been mostly forgotten, but it's a real gem. Similar to Girl's Last Tour, Haibane Renmei and I would dare to say even Studio Ghibli movies.

    Posting this AMW because there's no high quality content about it on YouTube.

    Garden fungus? update

    Here is the same mushroom from my last post but 3 days later and photographed from the other side.

    I feels like a rock with a rubbery coating.

    It seems to be growing what looks like roots?

    It doesn't seem like it's dying off, rather it seems to be growing stronger.

    It's growing under a pear tree, maybe it's feeding off of dead roots?

    I'm thinking maybe a ganoderma?

    Here is a closeup and one from the same angle as my last post:

    Some fungus? growing in my garden

    Does anyone have any idea what this is?

    I thought it was a moldy pear (it's under a pear and apple tree, next to some sage and valerian), but it's hardish and attached to the ground.
