For text, I suppose it’s similar to writring nonsense in background color instead of spaces or by using an invisible font. AI could probably figure it out and filter it.

The reason it works for music is that AI doesn’t really understand the “grammar” of music, so it just treats it like an image.

Yes, but Facebook can’t just place that script on other people’s pages.

That’s the point of the buttons. Website designers place that shit themselves.

Speaking of books, my only experience with Linux in the 90s was seeing the Red Hat books. I don’t know anyone who actually made it work.

That’s the plan anyway. As far as I know they haven’t done it yet, but testing is planned for 2027.

I’m not sure if larger scale is the goal of thorium reactors. The benefit of using thorium is that it is safe to use and available everywhere.

The companies that are researching it here in Denmark are aiming at making smaller reactors the size of shipping containers, so that they can be deployed anywhere needed.

Sure, scaling by quantity is also scaling, but the point is that if they can make one that is financially viable, then they can also make a hundred or thousands of them. In that case, large nuclear reactors will be obsolete.

What stops them suspending the mid-term elections anyway?

They get concentration camps.

Maybe they should consider not paying taxes.

There’s congestion in German cities too. The point isn’t to drive away. During rettungsgasse, nobody goes anywhere. They just make way by stopping to the sides.

The problem in NY is that the cars are too big for the lanes to do that.

Yes sure.

Now, if you look at the change from the beginning of Trump’s first term where the tariffs were increased by 10% points (from 10% to 20%) and to the end of Biden’s term in which Trump’s tariffs were maintained, the imports dropped by 100 billion - regardless of COVID.

That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you want to talk about.

But… now Trump increases the tariffs by an additional 114% points. (From 20% to 134%)

Assuming there is a correlation between tariffs and imports, which is the very point of doing it according to Trump, that would mean that imports would have to drop 1140 billion. This is obviously not possible from a 400 billion import, so it’s essentially putting a full stop to all trades with China.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Well. It’s great that USA is not paying China, but… where does USA get stuff from then? 400 billion dollars worth of stuff not being available in USA will definitely cause all kinds of issues.

I think that is optimistic. Here’s another graph:

Look at this graph:

So… draw your own conclusions.

I initially wrote a long analysis, but then I figured that these numbers are quite big to fuck around with. We’ll find out soon enough.

Concentration and focus, sometimes expression or simply indulgence. It can happen in other situations too. Sports for instance. Music is just one of those abstract things where you need to keep focus for a longer duration.

Try tapping your finger in a steady rhythm counting 1,2,3,4 repeatedly. After a while you’ll want to close your eyes. Eventually you’ll make a tap that is ever so slightly early or late and you’ll probably start smirking or tighten other facial muscles. If that doesn’t happen to you, perhaps try holding a dumbbell in a straight arm for as long as you can. Most people will start doing weird faces before they inevitable have to give up, even if the funny faces does nothing to keep the dumbbell up.

If you have kids, try cutting sticks of cucumber and carrots. Serve them in a bowl next to a bowl of candy. See which gets eaten first.

Imagine if it’s a live stream, changing the plot as you watch dependent on your reaction.

At first it might be fun to see what happens if Frodo doesn’t throw the ring in the lava, but eventually you gotta ask yourself why you’re wasting your time in front of a screen watching weird cat videos.

When Reddit changed the layout (new/old) some ten years ago, I started using a 3rd party app, because “new reddit” was everything that I hated about other sites. I stopped using it when they killed 3rd party apps, but that was really just the final nail in the coffin anyway. It was rotten to the core long before that.

Somewhere between 17-19, but only on the Northern hemisphere.

One thing I’ve learned is that humans are very much alike everywhere, both good and bad, but mostly in a good way. I will never understand racism or patriotism. Borders are artificial.
