"I will read the book for Generals Who Don't Think Because They're Failsons, because it's famous, but never question why the Failson Guide got so popular or was necessary to begin with"
Depressingly common mindset, seemingly.
(yes, the title and thumbnail are intentional clickbait, but that's youtube, unfortunately)
I was not expecting a video on techno-orientalism from Chris Broad, but hey, good and timely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lk_O...
I had somehow missed you were in Vancouver now? Timeline alignment problems from JST, probably lol

A perfectly cromulent tank
Canadian threats
Endgame commodification
Real threat here is less the technology per se, and more the intellectual property regimes built around this tech. Agriculture is already on the bleeding edge of hyperextractive IP.
i still think it was extremely weird that Rooster Teeth licensed that song for the Michael B Jordan Mecha not-Anime that went completely off the rails in the second season
they were great live c.2016, no idea now
... Scatological Georg, I guess?
(sorry, sorry, i'm trying to delete)
what did Bluesky do to Spielberg's other 1200?
... isn't this what Disco Elysium is about?
Forever War (air and naval, hyper-localised edition)
Russian product, they probably already get a discount
All reasonable points made from a more solid base than me, as it's very much not my field. The energy/environment/social implications of this stuff, I can look at with some insight. The computational and consciousness side, much less so lol.
Which is how I arrived at "prove the claim" as baseline.
Insight (Bloodborne variety)
Mostly it is a network effect lol. People who follow me etc. but uh. yeah.
asking Italian friends this is a good way to make them depressed
<glances at 10 million+ yen fully tenured Japanese faculty postings that don't include housing, transit, or spousal/child subsidies> hm.
(even tenure track tends to start 5-6 mil, with same exclusions)
It helps if you start from the perspective that actually saying 'due to this war, things will get worse' is more helpful than making unduly optimistic claims.
Paul have I shown you the union labour revolt song sung by robots from the video game made by a studio from Fake London? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPTC...
The consequences of this war for Americans will be bleak and take decades to unfold, but it will impoverish and provincialize them in ways that would have been unimaginable ten years ago
whoever decided "cloud native" saves for a personal computer were a good idea should be put in stocks and have fruit thrown at them
"go around africa" is one of those statements that always sounds insane when you realise it is, at modern speeds, feasible (though by no means quick)
Yeah it was a question for a reason lol. I'm curious how much refueling they can manage with that before the general crunch hits, even with reserve releases? At least until the reserves can be distributed. Hell of an effort.
The just-in-time system has, uh, challenges.
... uh. do they have the fuel to do that, and do any of the refueling ports have it on hand?
Gulf to the Med is a much shorter haul than Gulf to Yokohama or Busan.
The more realistic flow is going to be via the US West Coast or within Asia, I think? (maybe Panama, in a couple weeks)
NHK has a more in-depth piece on the visit, though not a lot more details.
Notably: no mention of the cake.
