Top Story

Nvidia's new RTX 4090 Ti is here. (Tom's Hardware)

Well, they call it the RTX 5090, but compared to the previous model the chips is 25% larger and has 25% cores, and the card uses 25% more power and costs 25% more money to produce 25% better performance.

Which tells us exactly how the other cards in this generation will perform - maybe 10% faster than the previous generation, entirely due to additional processing cores and faster memory. The technological advance here is zero.

Though the 4000 series was already very good. We could just do without the lies.

AI mistakes are very different from human mistakes. (Schneier on Security)

Except they're not, really. AI mistakes are just like the mistakes humans make when we're tired and distracted and not paying attention. Except AI is always tired and distracted and not paying attention.

If you tell Grok to draw a car with six wheels, it will quite consistently draw a car with any number of wheels except six. It's not listening to you; it just hears "draw a car" and draws a car.
AI makes everything worse. (Medium)

To err is human. To really fuck things up requires a computer.
OpenAI has launched Operator, an AI agent that can control your computer autonomously. (Tech Crunch)

Burn it with fire.
QNAP. (Bleeping Computer)

Again. Though this one doesn't seem to be their fault, nor readily exploitable.

Got to hustle today; I've got to back to the office, and the bridge I need to cross will probably only have one lane open in each direction this morning. It will be a clusterf*** of major proportions. If I'm wrong, great; if I'm right . . . Anyway, I plan to leave the house about a half an hour early, and expect at least an hour's commute. Think good thoughts for me!

It drew three ATV’s with horse heads and six wheels each and one horse-headed eight-wheeled ATV.

32 They think abandoning someone to their sins is mercy.

They think lying to the subjugated is speaking truth to power.

They think a man dismantling a dictatorship is a dictator.

Their entire worldview is predicated on rejecting reality, and using the resulting cognitive dissonance to short circuit rational thought and replace it with a flight to some imagined safety. "Nothing makes sense anymore, but at least these kind people understand it and will protect me".

Garbage in, garbage out. And it's absolutely insidious.

I believe this is an incorrect understanding of the situation. Judges are required to approve dropping charges. This is, theoretically, a protection against favoritism. The judge accepted dropping the charges so the two people will be freed BUT they did not accept dropping with prejudice so the charges can be filed again in the future.

Their ruling is only bullshit if you're aware that the general understanding of what occurred on Jan 6th is a lie and/or you accept election results. Obviously, this judge "knows" what the MSM tells them and is a warrior for their Precious Democracy.

They should be impeached and removed but they never be convicted in the Senate because the Dems are, pretty much, all treasonous snakes.

46 @23/Wolfus: "What will Trump do about this judge who refuses to release two of the J6ers? His authority supersedes hers, but what can he do?"

Beryl Howell is an Article III judge, so the only way to remove her is for Congress to impeach her.

Now failing that, the decision she wrote that dismissed that case without prejudice where Trump's EO asks the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice should be appealable to a higher court, asking it to review the decision based on the fact that this judge didn't follow the request of a President acting within his Constitutional powers, and they should also be able to introduce the accusation of bias based on past cases against Trump, and this judge's participate in same. That could well have some bearing on the outcome of the appealed case.

The result should be that the decision gets remanded back to Judge Howell with an order to dismiss that case with prejudice, or the higher court could simply do it themselves.

I still think that impeachment would be proper as a more permanent solution. However, we're asking Congress to "do the right thing". Good luck with that.

But when Henderson, 17, retrieved a handgun from the men's room Wednesday morning, the camera system did not notice his weapon.

However, when police and school resource officers arrived on the scene, the system did activate."

84 My favorite Sam Adams story (The beer, not the person).

I went to a Togo's for lunch (We're like Subway but without child molesters or purple haired chicks with daddy issues) and decided to have a beer. Chose a Sam Adams.

I look at the receipt and they charged me for an import. I challenged it.

"It's an import."
"It was made in Massachusetts. So unless they are no longer part of the US, that makes it a domestic beer."

Got charged for a domestic a moment later.

You. You nutsacks on reddit, in major media, in half of Twitter, and in the shitty bits of substack that make up 100% of the feed when I'm not actually logged in....

You swallow every stupid fucking thing you're fed, hook, line, sinker, and half the damn rod, because you have completely abandoned reality. You have to destroy and corrupt everything in order to feel like you've won something, because you don't actually know what victory is. You have the gall to think you're superior to all those sheeple brainwashed into thinking Elon Musk *isn't* a Nazi. You revel in your ignorance. You bathe and luxuriate in it.

You, all, are why we can't have nice things.

87 Reddit over the last half week or so has been an endless parade of pseudo-moderators announcing that this-or-that subreddit is now taking a stand against naziism by banning links to X because Musk is now allegedly openly a nazi.

They also banned a user for posting a link to an ADL comment saying that Musk wasn't a Nazi.

I'm a little more direct on this subject: She's a c*** Democrat that loves jamming her politics up your ass and when you notice she flees going but I'm a brave religious person who speaks truth to power. She's a Hawaiian Bishop cut from the same cloth as Hawaiian judges.

The way the Democrats use his truth to power nonsense is so they can hide behind some phony high-minded ideal while they undermine the United States and try to cripple the president from doing his job.

Having spent weeks in her courtroom you can be assured she is NOT going to comply with Trump without force. She truly believes she is THE law—the Law of the Left. She gives fcuk all about America or American law. If Trump does not deal with her —and they are many like her in DC—he will be giving orders to the air. You either deal with her or you are a paper tiger because in DC people are afraid of her and her type, not Trump. For now at least.

117 My understanding of the release of the remaining assassination papers is this: The order directs top administration officials to present a plan to declassify the documents within 15 days.

Of course the plan will get litigated before a Hawaiian judge who will then issue a ruling that they can't be released. The potential for this to be tied up into courts for years is legit, especially because it's an opportunity to play #resistance.

Or until there's an accident at the archive and they all burn up.

This is correct. The US Constitution provides a remedy for such situations and that is impeachment. The reality is it's never going to happen and she knows it so she's playing games by defying the president with this prejudice or no prejudice crap. This is standard #resistance behavior which we saw during the first Trump presidency.

It is NOT the pardon. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the pardon. Judges aren't involved with pardons.

There are prisoners who have pending charges. Those were NOT pardoned. Trump directed the DOJ to drop the charges. THAT has to be approved by a judge. Theoretically, that is to both protect the rights of citizens and ensure that no charges are dismissed in a corrupt manner.

The judge has dismissed the charges. So the prisoners should be released. But she refused to dismiss with prejudice so the same charges could be brought again by a future administration. This will either be appealed or Trump will say "fuck it" and issue another pardon.

The judge is asshoe but, in the end, the only thing she is accomplishing is raising your blood pressure and buffing her SCOTUS resume as someone willing to jail the peons.

The proclamation says Biden’s five family members are granted a “full and unconditional pardon for any nonviolent offenses against the United States which they may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014, through the date of this pardon.”

Trump vs the US gave the President the right to send in US Navy Seals to take out the judge. Why would they lie?

Guys and gals, you don't get to set the terms of understanding and judging your intentions when the whole world got to see and review your handiwork. You knew full well what effect your letter would have on the 2020 election campaign and if there were clear "misreadings" of what you meant, you took no steps at that time to set the record straight.

You are in the same boat with Fauci as he claimed that clear gains of function evident in the Coof virus were not due to gain of function research. All of you threw yourselves into that briar patch. Enjoy it.

This is a separate situation. For a few of the J6 defendants who were still on trial, Trump did not pardon them, probably to keep the stigma of having accepted a pardon off of them. Instead, he instructed the DoJ to drop all charges with prejudice, which would basically be the same for their future as a not guilty verdict. The problem is, the judge on the case has some leeway in deciding whether the charges can be dropped with prejudice or without prejudice. The judge is deciding to only drop the charges without prejudice, which is akin to the defendant never being on trial at all, so if a subsequent administration decides they want to resurrect the charges, they can without worrying about violating the Constitution prohibition against double jeopardy.

Door Dash, etc.

253 >To really fuck things up requires a computer

I don't think AI is making us worse programmers. I think it's making it easier to detect who the bad programmers are, because lazy programmers who don't actually know how to code are going to be the biggest users of AI coding assistants. And because they're bad programmers they don't realize how obvious that is.

Software engineering has a serious Dunning-Kruger problem that only seems to be getting worse with time. AI is almost orthogonal to this.
