Not super efficiently, but it will still do the things that Turing machines can do, given enough cycles.

Saying he 'made a donation' is downplaying his role. It makes it sound like he's just some guy doing what everyone else does to participate in politics...

The 2025 donation accounted for 72% of the party's total income last year. ... According to data collected by DonationWatch, 2025 was the most lucrative year in the party’s history, netting a total of 5.58 million SEK. For comparison, the party received just 202,000 SEK in total donations throughout 2024.

Just the annual interest on his donation is more that all of their other donations for the entire year combined.

He didn't just make a donation, he is practically their sole source of financing.

Keep the pressure on.

Collective Shout got them to change their position and they're a small group. We are legion, as the kids say

generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day.

Americans will do anything but use the metric system.

If buying is not owning, then piracy is not stealing

I love that Rossman is picking a fight here. He has the resources to fight this to a trial and that alone is probably enough to make Bambu Labs back down.

They don't have a case, the project is re-using their AGPL code. This is entirely a SLAPP threat, it only works if the target isn't rich enough to defend themselves.

All you need to know is that, whatever you pick, you made the wrong choice and you will be roasted if you ever attempt to explain your decision.

Unless you use Arch, then you have chosen correctly.

Remember when the Right was against cancel culture? Cracker Barrel remembers

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

You took an oath. Being afraid isn't an excuse.

We expect 19 year old soldiers to run into fire and destruction to honor their oaths. We expect no less from our elected representatives.

This is why all of the megarich are selfish assholes.

The good people give their money away.

“AI”

Sharpening, Denoising and upscaling barely count as machine learning. They don’t require AI neural networks.

They're working on "something".

Working on pointing out that Bambu Labs has known about the issue and failed to issue a recall. They just need the failure analysis lab report to prove that it is a design/manufacturing/QA defect so they can pin the responsibility on Bambu Labs.

In the legal world, knowing about a problem and failing to fix it opens you up for punitive damages if that problem causes harm.

Typically, if an damaging event happens and the manufacturer is found responsible, then they are only liable for the damage caused (i.e. the fire damage and printer replacement).

If they are found to have known about this in advance and failed to fix the problem prior to it causing harm to the plantiff then the plaintiff can also seek punitive damage which are not limited to the damage caused and are instead a means of punishing the company for not taking responsibility and fixing the issue that they were aware of.

This is why you see lawsuits resulting from tens of thousands of dollars of damages being awarded millions of dollars.

As it turns out, it is a bad idea piss off a community of highly motivated individuals with the knowledge and technical skills to highlight your shitty business practices.

What else is there to say?

Since Flock CEO wants to give this movement some press

Here's Benn Jordan, he's done a series of videos on the cameras, demonstrates their vulnerabilities, and talks about how Flock has been deploying secretly by co-opting local municipalities to subsidize their national rollout.

First video, the one seems to have started the major anti-Flock push: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp9MwZkHiMQ

Follow-up showing how easy they are to hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB0gr7Fh6lY

Not as directly related, but he discusses a way to use generative AI models to create noise masks for your specific plate that will disrupt the OCR process that ALPRs use. (Key term: Adversarial Noise) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4rEaRduk

Critical for AI

It's critical for lithography, the process that makes all of the magical chips that make the modern world function.

How could this happen?

An archive site that alters content in the archive is worse than worthless.

The DDoS is just confirmation that the site is actively harmful.

So I keep a windows partition just so I can manage a 16 year old mp3 player and radio. That has to be the worst reason to keep a Windows partition, right?

Yeah, and you can often assume that someone else has had that problem and was also enough of a nerd to fix it for us all.

Yeah, just to be clear. One of the targets hit was a residential high rise building. Local authorities are reporting over 50 people killed.

The target was one, alleged, terrorist and the building, according to the Houthi PC small group message log, was the building of the target's girlfriend.

So, the US just killed at least 50 civilians in order to kill a single target. Just to give you a rough idea of the kind of 'collateral damage' that is acceptable.
