Or just, like, humans have difficulty living to 100 regardless, and we’d need a major medical breakthrough to continue improving?

Don’t overthink it.

Some of y’all never been in a cult, and it shows.

No. What happens is they all tear each others throats out trying to be on top. Nobody wins. The GOP dies with Trump.

They may think that, but it doesn’t work that way. They need a singular leader to unite the base. Once that’s gone, they’ll fracture fast.

What comes next is probably closer to European liberalism. Better social safety net, but capitalism mostly goes on. The US doesn’t have a groundswell of support to be any more anti-capitalist than that.

He was specifically asked about the President’s health in an interview, and gave a bog standard answer any Veep would say.

People are reading too much into this. Trump’s health certainly isn’t good, but he’s not likely to pop off this week.

It’ll be nice if I’m wrong.

It can use treated waste water, so it’s not that specialized.

The sandwich thrower gives a possible answer. He didn’t get indicted, either, even though he’s on camera doing it.

Now, it’s not a slam dunk argument, because the grand jury only took up the question of whether throwing a sandwich at an armored federal officer constitutes felony assault. Misdemeanor assault will still happen. Even so, it’s a data point.

What if we made the thagomizer a whole dinosaur?

FWIW, I gave YaCy a try a while back, and I agree with the article on that one. Shit tier results that make ancient AltaVista look good. Might be fine for intranet search. I like the idea of its distributed hosting, but pass on this one.

Other poster mentioned SearXNG, and while I haven’t delved into that too much, it’s probably worth a check. Pass on YaCy.

Yeah, that engineering problem isn’t in the same order of magnitude.

Standardization, designing the whole car around it, and the complex mechanisms to automatically change the system. Batteries are heavy and need chonky, high current connections. Those connections are easier if they’re wired in and left alone for the life of the car. Also, can’t take advantage of making the battery more integrated into the frame to reduce weight.

It’s not a new idea. Whole bunch of companies tried it and failed to go anywhere. Formula E ruled it out for safety reasons; in earlier seasons, drivers swapped cars instead of packs.

Several groups have tried battery swapping. It just doesn’t work very well.

It would be nice if there were some thought into charging stops. Like I want a halfway decent sandwich and a coffee while I’m here. Usually, all I get is the far end of a Walmart parking lot. If there’s anything in walking distance at all, it’s probably across a stroad with no pedestrian signals.

Oddly enough, EVs are better in walkable cities.

Not sure what they need to do more of. Another poster mentioned their datacenter CPU, and there’s plans for a desktop chip. It’s not obvious yet that traditional Windows PC customers are going to accept ARM, though I hope they do.

Power usage is what’s sucking the cash. What else could it be? Not all of these companies are building out lots of datacenters the way OpenAI is. They built what they have, and are now trying to make money on it.

The companies that are charging for AI are charging about as much as buyers are willing to pay, but it’s orders of magnitude too small to cover their costs. The big cost is power usage.

You know that technology doesn’t actually get better by default, right? It reaches plateaus. Some things are just dead ends.

Have you bought any bubble memory recently?

Except none of these companies are making money. Like almost literally none. We’re about three years into the LLM craze, and nobody has figured out how to turn a profit. Hell, forget profit, not bleeding through prodigious piles of cash would be a big deal.

What AI companies are profitable? Besides the one selling shovels in a gold rush.

They already have ARM development spun up.

Really? Companies are going to keep building datacenters that need entire nuclear reactors to themselves without any of that converting into revenue? This is going to keep going forever in your mind?

If every author in the class filed a claim, industry advocates warned, it would “financially ruin” the entire AI industry.

Journalists need to stop this shit. Yes, it would financially ruin them. It’d ruin them the same way drug dealers would be financially ruined if you confiscated their drugs.
