  • Okay, feels like three per day is still a lot. Nobody’s out there writing three books per day. Unless this is, like, a publisher limit.

    Also I’m pretty sure I bought one of those AI books, for embedded development, a while ago. I would be pretty pissed off about it, but actually it was so poorly formatted and weird that bit was pretty funny. It was like 12 bucks for a joke.

    Now it’s a good way to show to people that AI generated slop even exists in book space, a cheap lesson.

    I got the proper textbooks too, so I did get the information I was looking for.


  • I’m gonna keep in mind what you and others have said that this is nothing new and I don’t have to panic. At least I know this wave will pass like every other.

    It sucks though. I feel unironically red-pilled. Just a different perspective on things and it’s weird.

    I used to have such strong positive feelings for Democrats and such strong negative feelings for Republicans and I remember literally feeling back in the day that I could not imagine feeling any differently. Now I hate them both (for sifferent reasons) and that’s just a weird feeling.




  • Yeah, the long story short about that is I have made some strides and joined FRSO and have talked to some people, and even was organizing until life caught up recently (medical, work). The group is very small, very limited where I am and I’m outside the city nowadays, so it’s a lot harder for me to do in-person events.

    Im planning getting re-involved, but that’s gonna take awhile unfortunately.









  • Jesus, if she said something like remotely pro-communist, then at least that would make sense to a propagandized population… Literally, all she said was, I’m here… And picture of her having fun.

    Americans are becoming so brainbroken that literally just mentioning China without automatically talking about how terrible and horrible and evil it is makes you a CCP shill.

    On the other hand, it’s getting easier and easier to prove to people how fucking stupid Usonians are. Instead of digging up some crazy mask-off quote by some nut job in Congress ( But I repeat myself…), you can basically just gesture broadly to Twitter… Err… X.


  • Neat, but nanotubes have been around for a long time now. The problem has always been scaling up, which this article mentions is still an issue, sigh.

    Although, the 86% connectivity of copper seems relatively low, I think with higher quality nanotubes, it would be higher than copper, right? I’m stretching my memory a bit. I feel like I haven’t read about manotubes for a number of years. The high strength they mentioned later in the article, sounds the same as I’ve heard before. A well-formed nanotube braided properly should be basically the strongest rope we’ve ever made.







  • This is basically the last argument I made to my family before we stopped talking about politics

    They were like hey, you seem to be going down these propaganda rabbit holes. But here’s what I believe. And I’m like yeah, I know what you believe. I believed it for 35 fucking years too, I’m the one that did more research and changed my mind, You all don’t even know the definition of socialism, let alone communism!

    At that point, I decided that, yeah, I’m talking to brick walls. I’m not going to do this anymore. They’ll have to research it themselves.



  • Oh man. In the not too distant past. About a year and a half now. I would say that, Yeah, that was one of my favorite shows and… Its very true. Watching that show give me a sense of superiority for sure.

    In fact, it’s kind of funny. I think that show had a backlash effect on me. I’d watch this show every week expose some problem and then society would do fuck all to fix it. Long story short, I eventually realized that the problem was capitalism, obviously. Went on a journey to learn how to actually solve these problems.

    Now I’m a tankie.

    Thanks Mr. Oliver!
