It doesn’t make sense but Banks treat current stock price as a liquid asset.

He gets to borrow against the shares as if he has that trillion in cash.

Dv?

I don’t see how it doesn’t make sense to build the justification after attacking.

You are already bombing. The justification is done. Politically it reduces justification because the public (as was shown) is now against the bombing. When Trump attacked Venezuela, he didn’t bomb a school, wait a week, and then kidnap Maduro.

Getting the other country to attack to justify war only works if you either make it look like they attacked first (false flag), or have deniability on your attack so their retribution can be spun into a first attck. (Secretly bomb the school with spies but leave evidence so they know it was you but can’t prove it.)

So there is absolutely no reason militarily or politically.

That makes no sense. You are already at war. You have already justified it. Getting the other country to defend harder is not what you want. You want to win.

Bombing a school wasn’t 5D chess by Trump. It was incompetence.

Yes. That’s what they do.

They allow 3k reasoning prompts per week.

It’s their unlimited plan that loses them money. Where did you get 3,000/week? Their message cap is hidden and users complain they don’t know how much of their “unlimited” is used up before being cut off.

Where did you get $1k? Semianalysis’s report is paywalled but seems thorough.

It still baffles me how the activation energy can defined as absolutely X because of atomic energy levels defined by quantum mechanics. But then you have an enzyme show up and it’s, weeelllll it can be much lower.

. it’s a big deal to people who don’t know how to do a lot of stuff.

It’s also a big deal to the extremely competent developers. The other person I saw use AI which makes me want to try it is Limor Fried. I watched one of her videos where she input a 50 page microcontroller pdf and got useable io mapping header files for her c code. Matching pins to ports in a doc that’s spreads the info out across many pages is a huge grind.

It’s not like I’m illiterate, but I’m open to using a plastic ball point pen instead of catching and killing a goose to make my own quill.

A dude DYI’ing his bike isn’t something to even take into account…

I’m old enough to remember Hypercard. It was a revolution for regular people to create the one off app they needed to fix their own problems.

Hypercard was a nightmare for professional development. But it didn’t matter. It was a tool for regular people.

That old lady was standing near the edge of the cliff. The fence was already broken. I pushed her off the edge. You can’t say it’s entirely my fault.

Sure there are useful applications, but I don’t actually need it for anything I do.

I’ve seen applications that are very useful. YouTuber Berm Peak used ai to bypass the controller of the world’s worst ebike so it wouldn’t become e-waste and fix it’s worst flaws. Yes new firmware could have been written from scratch. But he fixes bikes. He’s not a software developer.

It’s like you don’t need a ball point pen to write, you could use a quill and save the plastic waste. But quills are so slow you don’t even consider it.

Blocks 99% from running but allows 99% of the remaining 1%.

Window washing

I’ve read news that many Window washing services in large cities are under organized crime control. You wash windows in their territory and bad things happen.

There was an article yesterday that if you sign up for the most expensive OpenAI plan and actually use it fully, OpenAI loses $14k a year on you.

This reminds me of the early Internet days. I ran an ISP. Like everyone else we offered “unlimited” service. But if everyone actually used unlimited we would have been bankrupted because it would tie up a phone line (channel of a pri) and modem on the portmaster. Regular users only used 1/10th of “unlimited”.

It’s not a shift if you have a Republican Congress and President who will not only give it all to their billionaire friends but run up a debt to give more than they took in taxes.

I’m pointing out that this is putting the cart before the horse. We need actual leftist politicians or it won’t do anything.

But the op is complaining about the much lighter .net where the shared libraries for all apps are a fraction of the space of bringing in an entire OS environment for each and every app.

The problem is the wealthy have all this excess money and they are driving up the price of everything,

Transferring $50B from Musk to Kuschner (Ivanka) doesn’t change this. Any excess tax money will go directly to Trump’s friends and family. He is already increasing the debt to it’s highest levels in history to do this. More money won’t change it.
