Sadly it was the tip of the iceberg.
I, like many, had hoped Trump would starting dismantling the blob but it is starting to look like it is going to be window dressing. At least women can have their sport back and businesses can hire based on merit. The rest is looking doubtful. We've had the hype, now we head for the slough of dissappointment. It will end badly for all of us.
One would expect LLMs/AI to have a place in this but most of the effort appears to be going into active/logic languages (there's probably a better name), i.e., Java, Python etc. They could probably work well with either hand written html or cleaning up visual editor outputs. Maybe I'm just not noticing?
Half the world is brainwashed by the left. What is right-wing anyway? I hold views that were considered left of central when I was young, now they are considered right or even extreme right by some. We haven't changed. Most of the "right", excluding a few true extremes, believe in democracy, freedom, god-given rights and literal liberalism. We believe in small state and national sovereignity not giving away power to un-elected bodies such as the UN, WHO, WEF, Tri-lateral commissions, CIA, EU, Media, Central Banks ... the list is extensive. We, the people, want to hold those powers, we want institutions of government to do our will and serve us. That is what is now called right-wing!
Those un-elected by bodies and most of the left are pursuing a barely disguised agenda to establish a one-world government and feudal society with no voting, "experts" will decide everything for us. Basically, people become cattle. Wake up! That's all of us not just the people you don't like unless you are in the billionaire club or are one of the elites execs. And execs are easily replaced and interchangeable if they start getting upity.
"Actually I do so little political stuff that they probably wouldn't care"
Then you should. Leaving politics to power hungry nacisists (government) is not a good idea. It only goes one way but slowly so you don't noitce. Like the boiling a frog epithet - we are the frogs!
We had better find some new sources of Uranium then. We seem to be having problems with many of the sources. A lot of them may end up on the BRICS side of the world. https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/mining-of-uranium/world-uranium-mining-production
Small, local reactors would seem a good answer to generation problems (without any idea of cost) as they could provide a more localised supply which could be huge benefit in unstable times. And we need a lot more generation and distribution if we seriously want electric vehicles - even though I don't think they are the panacea they are claimed to be.
The perception to an outsider is of change with insufficient regard for the customer. It won't bode well for Vmware. There are lots of alternatives now and many customers regard it (probably unfairly) as old hat. How many new developments target VM as the primary platform? Everywhere I look it's containers, containers. Broadcom seem in a hurry - did they pay too much and now have a problem? Have they given a strategy that is logical? Can't help thinking if I was a big Vmware customer I would be accelerating my plans to move away.
Well I noticed recently, while trying to use it to help me configure ELK, the responses were rambling and longer than necessary. But were still on subject and errors were those expected due to different approaches based on different releases etc. I'd ask a simple do I need to do X and would get 2 page responses!
If I thought for one moment this would be used reasonably it would be fine, but you know it won't.
So, legal visitors get tracked and the million or so that were helped to enter illegally are ok? Will I now be unable to visit the US for this criticism?
Things are getting crazy. IT is putting too much power in the hands of the state.
I'm sorry for your loss. I think if you look into this you will find those "medications" were anything but safe and effective but that is suppressed. None the less the data is out there, much obtained through FOI. Prosecutions look to be starting in the US, but a lot of forces are arranged against them. The government and media is not going to tell you about it. They screwed up big time. All great civilisations seem to go through a period of corruption as they decline - I think that is what we are seeing.
For the record, my mother died of a virus way before convid. She was frail, the hospital couldn't even be bothered to find what it was. The state wants maximum control. This has been known for centuries.
What if gold, silver and copper became legal tender again? As well as backing paper and digital which can be exchanged for the metals.
So merchants would have to take cash that is money and represents money. Mostly people would use the digital representations of course.
Yes but it's much, much harder. They can't suddenly let AI loose and tell it to find and block all accounts for people like us questioning their actions on social media. Which it won't even get right because they'll have trained it on a bureaucratic narrative instead of carefully constructed logic. I don't know how aware people are of the control imposed via pressure on tech and social media during that medical panic we had a couple of years ago - and it is still continuing. Witness the bank account closures, especially in Canada. How dare you protest - we'll starve you out!
Gold. Recently made a tier 1 currency alongside the dollar. Why?
I think Gordon Brown sold most of ours trying to prop up his government. A criminal act IMHO as it was OUR gold not belonging to any one party.
Gold was a good basis for a currency because it's hard to get more of it. A principle Bitcoin followed.
