Some presidents have arguably done worse things than Trump (so far), but I'm not sure if they were more hated at the time. Trump has probably done more damage to the institutions of the US than any other president in history; which will probably result in a new dark era.

    We have to do this so we can improve the AI process.

    I'm curious what they mean by this. Are they just clueless about how anything works? Maybe AI companies are signing contracts with companies to upload all their code, data, traces, etc; so that the AI companies can improve their models? I.e. companies are acting like reinforcement tuning contractor firms for AI companies?

    People in an anarchist society can agree to join a resisting force. When I think of anarchism in practice, I think more along the lines of the Zapitista territories (maybe I'm incorrect in that), which does indeed have an army.

    We need to bring back reverse dominance hierarchy. Even in systems more "fair" like democracy, many of the most popular politicians are just shitty people very good at manipulation. Just picking people at random to serve would probably produce better results.

    Any suggestions on buying lots of cheap random electronic parts for projects and avoiding racking up shipping costs from ordering from multiple sites? E.g. I had to order ~20 different cheap parts (boost converter, charge controller, micro switches, a cheap devboard, USB breakouts, etc) for a personal hobby project recently. I used Amazon unfortunately. Curious about good alternatives for this kind of stuff.

    I think it saved my grandparents quite a bit of money. They didn't need to can too much; mostly just canned pizza sauce and green beans. I don't think they wasted much either. A lot of what they grew had a good shelf life (e.g. squash). The would also fry lawn weeds, like plantain and dandelions. It supplemented what they got from the food pantry.

    We're probably seeing demand destruction. I'm curious if the thin-client thing that a lot of these companies seem to want will actually take off. I've also been noticing a lot of "cyberdeck" and retro handheld stuff lately; I wonder if that's related.
