Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface

It's funny cause "ambient, pervasive, multi-modal" are all words used when envisioning the future applications of AI, so you know some marketing smuck glanced over the literature (or probably asked an AI to do so for him) and chose them with little care as to how the new Windows will embody these qualities. I am so tired of salesmen,marketing,word salads and entrepreneurship.

This is the most panicked Republicans have been in years

Reply in thread

There is a basic assumption in most news articles, that most of voters are somehow misguided and that with the right information they will eventually change their minds. In the case of MAGA and adjacent Republicans, we are talking about people that have been bred by the system to respond to certain kind of messaging and little else. They are mentally handicapped by the system, they do not possess the tools to process what is happening and even their basic humanity has been sabotaged. The solution is not to convince them to change their vote, but to discourage them from taking any actions. This is what the system does with progressives, they discourage them and convince them that politics are useless. It's time this is used against the lobotomized strongest minority.

Stereotyping

Frankly the amount of people in my country that make decisions based on astrologers' advice is staggering. If people just did it for fun maybe I would think it's okay but they actually pay scammers and make assumptions about people just from their sign, which is actual stereotyping in contrast to what is shown in the comic

Elon Musk calls Trump agenda bill 'disgusting abomination' days after White House send-off

This is part of the tactic "have the cake and it eat too". He did his government tour to gain favor with Trump but damaged his brand, and now is just providing friendly opposition to capture the MAGA crowd that does not like the debt ceiling going up while trying to repair his image. It also aligns with the general chaotic energy that floods the news with meaningless drivel that occupies working memory of adults.

Basically just herding the sheep.

A wave of new polls shows Trump’s support cratering across the board.

Given the unprecedented abuse of power and overwhelming evidence of corruption, the fact he still has that much approval only serves to show how deeply flawed is the distribution of power in the US.

Big corpo lobbying paved the way for this brand of extremist cronyism that provides for the biggest players willing to grease the president directly, even circumventing the legislative bodies.

I bet relatively smaller players are as flabbergasted as reasonable people and left-wing people. But this is what happens after decades of big shareholders being able to shape politics.

It's not a matter of accuracy even, if for any two natural numbers x < y it holds x - y = 0 then x = y, which is a contradiction. So this is basic consistency requirement, basically sabotaging any effort to teach kids math.

This has been done in Austria for example, where they utilized crime groups to infiltrate the secret service and stage a coup so now it's controlled by Russian agents. So it's not really a question, it's should be more about the how not the if.

Yeah exactly, housing is used as a value storage for large players when they need to use a generic asset in between investments. It's relatively safe but its value is passive, it is driven by the rest of the market. Plus it's great for money laundering and bribing politicians or officials. So all this manipulation raises the prices for everyone, and most people don't benefit from it. It's just so greedy and abusive.
