Ukraine learns to fight without Starlink as Musk plays politics with satellites
I wonder if this is Putin directly threatening Musk with the destruction of Starlink. Starlink is SpaceX's only profitable business. It brings in over 60% of the companies revenue. Though if Russia initiated or accelerated the Kessler syndrome, everyone would be pissed so probably a bluff...

Have you ever experienced this before?
Get the batteries out and wipe the electronics with a soft towel soaked with a little vinegar to neutralize the corrosion. Then a damp towel with just water to get the vinegar up. Let it fully dry before putting in new batteries. This happens to batteries that have sat unused for a long time installed. It can also happen if at the end of charge, you pull the batteries out, and put them back in to squeeze a little more use out of the batteries. Do it too many times and there is a leak risk. Cheaper batteries do it more often but the top brands will occasionally leak as well.

Alkaline batteries use a base, hence the name. Baking soda would work as you can neutralize a strong base with a weak one. Same with acid...

A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago
Reply in thread
It's not the money, it's control of their companies. To pay the tax they have to sell stock which reduces control. They, rightly I think, also believe it's a one time tax until the next time the tax gets passed. Maybe this a good thing but it should also be addressed by those pushing the wealth tax...

🚨 BREAKING: Trump says Putin has agreed to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel, promising record-fast price drops for Americans and global markets.
It's not going to get here soon enough, if it arrives at all, to save your ass. Tons is an odd measurement of fuel over barrels but: a barrel of diesel weighs about 300lb. 300,000 * 2000 (lb per ton) = 600,000,000 lbs of diesel / 300 = 2 million barrels. The US uses about 3.5 million barrels a day. Even if the tons are metric it's still just a days worth. Sorry Donnie you are a day late and a dollar short...

Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything
A lot of games on Steam hold zero interest to me. AI is just the newest form of slop. Beyond that what I see is a hell of a lot more games are being released in the last 4 years. That means more competition but also many have not been around long enough to build up over time revenue. To a certain extent you are comparing life time revenue to launch revenue. On AAA that probably doesn't matter as much but on the lesser hyped indy games I think it would be an important distinction.

Anthropic warns AI models will soon self-replicate on their own
Because IoT devices have gigs of memory to hold said model and the processing power to run them, or even pieces of them. Sounds like more fear mongering to get regulatory capture. Not to mention, the models aren't doing squat until someone codes an agent telling them to do so...
