I like the idea and the materials, but the designs of Serene Industries just don’t speak to me. It’s a matter of taste, of course.

I started ordering from specialized smaller vendors who often have much better quality products. In doing so I access shops all around Europe without much regard for the country in which they reside.

I hate that this has to be explicitly stated and isn’t a given.

… to be humiliated like all those before him, I presume.

No thanks.

That claim was where the scam should have become obvious to anyone listening.

Another day, another Tesla lawsuit.

That bond situation is crazy. The US is standing on the precipice and the Trump administration doesn’t even realize it.

Anything can be decided, paused, changed, revoked, reinstated, abandoned and never spoken about again any time now.

That’s not as attractive as Sam Altman thinks it is.

Oh, I’m sure law enforcement will put this system to good use. If you keep using Windows with this, you have to assume that any interaction with your PC will end up as evidence against you in court.

This blatant idiocy was a big factor pushing me to switch to Linux. I never looked back.

This is so retarded I couldn’t stop myself from laughing, I even had a little tear in my eye. This is what people voted for! Satire has become meaningless, every day is an absurd joke now.

Wow, what a beauty! This is a whole other level of retro aesthetic, and I love it!

That was an easy block.

LLMs do have their legitimate use-cases, but they are very limited. I just wrote down my thoughts and observations on that topic today:

Because they do not think.

I have faith in the European Comission’s ability to do a deep analysis of possible paths forward. As usual, the slowness and perceived weakness of any response will be deeply unsatisfactory, but they will have weighted an immense number of factors to arrive at any decision. Give it some time, trade wars are what the EU excels at.

Let’s see, what do you need do a modern car factory? Robots! Huh, they’re extra expensive now, since there are tariffs on them. What else? Electronics! Huh, they’re from Asia, with extra high tariffs. Workers! Huh, they’ve been deported by ICE. Building parts for automobiles! Huh, they’re only manufactured in Europe and China, hence super-expensive. Guess we’ll have to build a factory for auto-parts first. Let’s see, what do you need for a modern auto-parts factory…

Vigilantes taking the law into their own hands with violence is always a sign of a healthy society. It also never leads to tragedy.
