That’s what they call “useful idiots”. Any westerners stillin Russia are just get out of jail cards for Russian assassins and weapons traders.

Honey wake up, it’s the weekly miracle battery tech!

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

It’s for conquering Crime a and parts od Ukraine. And as long as they get to keep the land, Putin will be satisfied… and the average russian will trust the propaganda they should be satisfied as well.

Crowdstrike managed to fuck up Linux through eBPF just as well.

If you load hacky shit into the kernel it can always find a way to make a nasty surprise. eBPF is a little bit better fence, not some miracle that automatically fixes shitty code.

Crowdstrike by default loads its own kernel modules on linux as well, not much different from how it works under Windows.

Crowdstrike bricked networking on our linuxes for quite a few versions.

Somewhat ironically, autopilot for airplanes is more less attitude/speed holding for most history. More modern systems can now autoland or follow a preprogrammed route (the flight plan plugged into the FMS), but even then changes like TCAS advisories are usually left up to the pilots to handle. Autopilots are also expected to give control to the pilots in any kind of unexpected situation.

So in a way tesla’s naming here isn’t so off, it’s just the generic understanding of the term “autopilot” that is off somewhat. That said, their system is also not doing much more than most other level 2 ADAS systems offer.

On the other hand, Elon loves going off about Full Self Driving mode a lot, and that’s absolutely bullshit.

“Exceptional measures” until they become the new norm.

My car happily understands 10tonn signs as 10km/h limit, or pedestrian crossings as motorway (130km/h max). It also hss zero awareness if a speed limit is still relevant (eg have we passed an intersection since).

I don’t have high trust in this tech currently.

Kinda surprised an obvious troyan horse like us is still allowed to be in NATO.

The feeling I get is his opposition/hate of the western world leaves him no room for nuance. Ukraine is helped by the west to defend against Russia = Ukriane has to be wrongand Russia has to be right.

Realising this also makes me question a lot about him, to be honest…

According to Chomsky, Russia is acting with restraint and moderation. He compares Russia’s way of fighting with the US’s during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, arguing that large-scale destruction of infrastructure seen in that conflict “hasn’t happened in Ukraine”.

Seems very unambiguous to me.

He died to me the day he stood with Putin and the invasion against Ukraine.

It’s literally how it worked. You can check the statistics.

As long as there isn’t enough people waiting on jobs to easy replace someone, there is room for negation because if the guy packs up, the work won’t be done and no money is made.

Sure, the company can pack up shop and relocate to a different country, but that also has a bunch of costs in itself. It may be more profitable to pay people slightly more - again, negotiation. But again, that is only possible if it isn’t easier to just quickly hire someone else.

You don’t need to believe me, just check how the average hungarian wage increased in the last 20 years. That’s the effect when there aren’t enough surplus workers, so employed people can’t be easily replaced.

They weren’t private but the management wasn’t aby less shitty. And the moment the old system collapsed they turned even worse.

Also not sure how you came to the conclusion I think corporations would ‘have my back’. I literally explained they’ll only negotiate with workers as long as workers are not too expendable. It doesn’t matter what makes workers expendable - societal changes, AI, immigration - the workers positon will worsen and corps will push against their rights.

Why do you think our govt is importing hundreds of thousands of workers from Asia? To push the wages down and be able to loosen worker rights. Because as long as the worker is replaceable - oversupply, if you will - they aren’t in much position to push any demands.

Not really, it’s something I’ve lived through already before.

When the USSR collapsed, most of our industry imploded virtually overnight. Demand for work disappeared, and so did wages and worker rights; you are in no position to bargain when there’s a line of people to replace anyone at the drop of a hat.

Then we joined the EU and the problem slowly fixed itself by… emigration! A LOT of people left to work in Germany and the UK, making the workforce scarce (=reducing supply). And let me tell you, it’s a lot easier to negotiate with employers when people are hard to replace.

But go on, explain to me how bringing in a cheap workforce will improve the locals bargaining position on the job market.

Supply and demand.

If there’s less supply of workforce, workers are in a better position to demand better conditions or wages. Oversupply of workforce gives employers more power in turn.

More immigrants - or anything that balloons the workforce - helps the side of employers, even without considering the fact that most immigrants are satisfied with worse conditions and/or lower pay than western workers.
