Z-Library: More Domains Seized Than Any Other Pirate Site in History.
And yet AI and LLM companies operate with impunity. And likely use my work.

TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture
3 new chip fabs open recently around phx, which is in low-altitude desert, has had water supply issues for so long there's a canal running from the Colo river through it all the way to Tucson.
Which is fed by a reservoir so low they find old mobster kills in barrels and might have to stop making power.
Why so stupid and short-sighted?
Ah, "faith-based".
And a Republican governor made the deals. Who also allowed water to be used to grow alfalfa that's sent to Saudi to feed their horses.
$$$ + no sense

It's time to start taxing the acquisition, retention, and selling/trading of personal data.

Peloton announces $95 “used equipment activation fee”
The tech world has become and endless conveyor belt of stupid greedy miseries.
No subscription-based company products should be in public schools. That would stop with inculcating model acceptance.
No federal agency should be using any subscription product, including any cloud products. Public data should not be capable of being held hostage or monetised.
Both are a waste of public funds and set a bad example.
We can put marketing teams in the fields and mines doing honest toil.

Off My Chest: I just had a very long talk with my father
Imagine there being no ND diagnosis at all, no concept between normal and short-bus, and the parents mostly taking advice from fellow Christians because there were no other authorities to look to beyond the family doctor.
You missed that wonder by about a decade.
Also, those previous gens were obvs not diagnosed themselves, and had their own traumas they were masking.
If you're up to it, think about where those parents came from.
The 20th century was toxic, we're just starting to climb out.
