That would not fly in Canadian courts, I honestly doubt it would in American one either.

Heroin addicts will tell you not to take heroin then do so themselves, that doesn’t mean their advice is wrong.

And intentionally makes you feel bad all the time so you keep talking to them.

This author seems to be reflexively defending their own social media problem.

Social media is rotting everyone’s brain, the hope was to try and minimize its damage to the most vulnerable.

I’m not a fan of a lot of his politics but I honestly thought that interview was worth listening to. He has some interesting nuanced takes.

He raises exactly that point in the interview when talking about slop grenades.

🙏thank you, it genuinely sounds like an interesting topic

I suspect that everyone in here complaining about AI didn’t actually read the article.

The article states that Palantir’s Maven system was over-relied on, and compressed a process that would have taken months into one that took days, but it also points out that that Maven didn’t actually make a mistake based on the way it was supposed to operate.

It sounds like some military personnel were mistaken in how much vetting and revetting maven itself would do, but the article also lays much of the blame at Hegseth’s gutting of the civilian harm roles, and failures in intelligence vetting and gathering that fed into maven in the first place. Years ago US intelligence personnel had flagged that Minab had turned into a school, but that information was not in the database used by maven.

Like I have no doubt that Maven is part of the problem, but it sounds like it was far from the only part.

You’ve linked to an entire YouTube channel of content … May I suggest picking a single video that would be a good entry point instead?

No, OpenAI heard about a pair of researchers who were getting close to solving the problem and spent $22M on compute power to scoop them.

Even more concerningly, the researchers had been using OpenAI’s codex model in their earlier work, meaning that OpenAI’s model may have literally directly trained from and ripped off their work.

The best time may have been yesterday, but the second best time is today.

Or you know, the government could just match Chinese industry subsidies so they’re competing on level playing fields.

China’s government is using government power to invest in critical and necessary industries that benefits everyone, like renewables and EVs, driving down their costs.

The US instead spends it’s money investing in fossil fuel companies, and letting billionaires hoard it, and then complains when Chinese EVs are cheaper. You’re the richest fucking country in the world. Stop fucking whining and start using your wealth to produce competitive EVs. It’s not that fucking complicated.

Lmfao, bruh, name a way in which it’s better than the Windows dock or shut up. Jesus fucking Christ, not everything is subjective, and owning a Mac doesn’t mean you need to run out and defend every single fucking decision they’ve ever made.

When one thing does everything the other thing does, plus can do more, it might be objectively better.

Because again, you make Linux behave exactly the same as MavOS, so your claim that you think the MacOS dock is better than linuxes already shows that you’re not arguing from a logical place, just blindly defending tim apple.

I listed objective UX shortcomings with it.

I’m open to being convinced that you honestly think it’s better than the Windows one, if you can explain why.

Otherwise this sounds like reflexive defensiveness.

On Linux especially you can customize a dock to behave literally exactly the same way as Mac, so it’s honestly kind of nonsense to say that you prefer Mac’s way.

It takes up as much screen space as the Windows taskbar while doing a fraction as much.

In windows that same screen spaces acts an application launcher / switcher, but also an individual window launcher / switcher, and a clock, utility, and notification space.

Mac smears half of those into a fully separate system bar that takes up even more space.

It’s not a mac vs anyone thing, it’s not a mac way of doing things, it’s not like if they had a better dock the whole OS would have to change or fall apart, it’s simply just a badly designed dock / taskbar.

Nope, they have not. It’s honestly a terrible OS.

The problem is that it specifies both a purpose

• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts

and a mechanism by which to do so

• by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

The purpose is great, the mechanism is dogshit in the 21st century, as it just lazily crams information into capitalism rather than adapting capitalism to the realities of information.

The problem is that capitalism is a system entirely based around things that are scarce, and it only functions in that context. Air for instance is completely free and valueless, even though it’s wildly critical, just because it is abundant. In capitalism things don’t have value when they are useful or needed, just when they are scarce.

That works fine-ish when you mostly deal in physical goods, because the way that energy and mass scale means that they are somewhat inherently scarce, it takes just as much mass/energy to make a second copy as the first. Information blows this apart though, starting with the written word, escalating with the printing press, and being oblitered in the digital connected age, as information does not scale like energy / mass and as a result it has become trivial to infinitely copy and distribute information, making it abundant the moment it’s digitized.

So now you have the Constitution enshrining mechanisms that enforce scarcity where there is absolutely no need for scarcity.

I have to use Mac’s for work now and I will never understand how in 2026, they still insist on having both a dock and a system menu bar.

Like guys, it’s 2026, you can do all the OS stuff in one space, and leave the rest of the screen open for application stuff.

My guess (and just a guess), is that you either a) crossed some overall file size limit… Not sure why that would make a difference but if initially you had 2GB of music and then you had 8GB, maybe it’s choking after the 4GB point or something.

Other thought is that one of the files you put on there is specifically choking it… Either something in the filename or the metadata etc is causing the running android auto software to fail midway through processing all the files and that causes some to not show up.

Try again, with just the original first working batch and make sure that works, then try adding half of the new batch to see if that works, if it does, add half the remainder, and so on and so forth til you find the problem file or limit.

Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.
