Trump wouldn’t be capable of that, either intellectually or psychologically.

That’s why Trump never wins at 4D chess.

It’s the naval equivalent of putting tariffs on the whole world, and equally intelligent.

They’ll think God’s angry with them for being insufficiently cruel to trans people, and double down.

Can he meet with Netanyahu?

There’s also a strain of fascist eugenics in the Trump regime, which believes only those who are “superior” deserve to live. Harming everyone else is, in their mind, a way to encourage inferior people to die off. Many of their policy decisions make more sense when you recognize that they think most people dying would be a good thing.

Why would you help the USA when it has shown repeatedly how ready it is to completely screw you as soon as you have helped it out of a predicament of its own making?

He was annoyed that Iran might make money from charging ships to pass through. So he made sure they can’t. In the process he gets himself into a trap he can’t get out of, but he is unable to think that far ahead.

It’s possible he also wants to be paid for letting ships pass, but who would pay him for that when Iran will stop the ships anyway? He might pretend the USA can give them safe passage, but the USA’s inability to win militarily has already shown the world that it can’t.

So the world’s economy gets tanked and more people everywhere suffer and starve. Maybe he thinks this will pressure the USA’s “allies” to come and help the USA fight Iran, but who would help a country that demonstrates upfront that it’s this willing to fuck you over?

I haven’t seen the movie, but was Palpatine a Grade A Fucking Moron?

Sounds like quite the waste of money then.

Yeah I know. Still, a different imperial asshole wouldn’t be this particular asshole.

Iran was going to let ships through if they paid a toll, so now the USA has decided to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring that no ships can get through. So the world has to run out of fuel and fertilizer thanks to Trump’s ego and greed. And none of this would have happened if Trump hadn’t attacked Iran just as they were about to agree to a deal. Trump is an enemy of the world. He has to go.

Once again the whole world has to suffer because of Trump’s insatiable ego and greed, and his bottomless stupidity. May he be gone soon.

Frey told Ars he was shocked to see a platform as big as Discord relying on such poor support infrastructure.

It’s exactly what we can expect from tech companies these days.

On Melania’s role this bit stands out:

“Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character.”

Doesn’t “decentralized” describe that application’s architecture? It means it doesn’t depend on central servers to send and receive messages. It’s not a claim about the organization that maintains it.

For anyone unfamiliar:

Netanyahu is a liar and a danger to the world. “Most moral army” is a sick joke. The IDF are villains, not heroes.

Spain’s government actually seems to have some principles and speak the truth about Israel and the other fascist powers spreading death and destruction.

People can’t tell it’s sarcasm because every day we encounter people who would say exactly these stupid things in earnest.

If a physics simulation doesn’t agree exactly with experimental data, it is often difficult to figure out why and tweak the model until they agree. With AI, incorporating a few experimental examples into the training process is a lot more straightforward, and it’s not necessary to understand where exactly the model went wrong.

That’s not too bad if it’s only ever used as a rough guide in the early stages of design, with proper testing done later. But do we trust corporations not to get lazy and pressure their engineers to skip the accurate tests altogether, especially when they can then brag to their investors that AI is replacing expensive engineer time? What would Boeing’s management want to do with this tech?
