On the one hand, dunking on OOP is cheating. He’s like, the Ezra Klein of Lemmy.

On the other hand, trolley problems are dumb and not worth engaging with in the first place: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGt0I5MbQSI&t=3063s

Given the rightward direction that both political parties are going, I don’t have confidence in the ACA’s longevity.

I guess so. Actually more like owned by the SA state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopely

[Scopely] is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Savvy Games Group, an entity founded and managed by the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, which purchased Scopely for $8.9 billion in 2023.

On March 12, 2025, Niantic, Inc. announced plans to sell the majority of its video game division to Scopely in a reported $3.5 billion deal, including games Pokémon Go, Pikmin Bloom, and Monster Hunter Now, and companion apps Campfire and Wayfarer.

Thee years ago, What does a leaked Google memo reveal about the future of AI?

Now techies are abuzz about another memo, this time leaked from within Google, titled “We have no moat”. Its unknown author details the astonishing progress being made in artificial intelligence (AI)—and challenges some long-held assumptions about the balance of power in this fast-moving industry.

“The barrier to entry for training and experimentation has dropped from the total output of a major research organisation to one person, an evening, and a beefy laptop,” the Google memo claims. An LLM can now be fine-tuned for $100 in a few hours. With its fast-moving, collaborative and low-cost model, “open-source has some significant advantages that we cannot replicate.” Hence the memo’s title: this may mean Google has no defensive “moat” against open-source competitors. Nor, for that matter, does OpenAI.

You are blaming the victim of US imperialism.

The Environmental Protection Agency repealed the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse gases threaten human life and well being. It means the agency can no longer regulate them.

For nearly 17 years, the E.P.A. had relied on the bedrock finding to justify regulations that limit carbon dioxide, methane and other pollution from oil and gas wells, tailpipes, smokestacks and other sources that burn fossil fuels. By repealing the endangerment finding, the United States is likely to emit up to 18 billion metric tons of additional emissions into the atmosphere between now and 2055, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, an advocacy group. That is about three times the amount of climate pollution the country emitted last year.

The added pollution could lead to as many as 58,000 premature deaths and an increase of 37 million asthma attacks between now and 2055, the group said.

Multiple employees told 404 Media about the joke, and 404 Media obtained internal Slack chats showing employees discussing it. Benioff was giving the opening keynote at the Salesforce CKO event in Las Vegas on Tuesday, which is a major Salesforce meeting ‘kicking off’ its strategy for the year. In his keynote, Benioff thanked international employees for traveling to the United States for the meeting, and asked them to stand. Benioff then said that ICE agents were in the building to keep tabs on them.

Salesforce’s contracts with ICE have been controversial within the company, which is part of why employees weren’t happy with Benioff’s joke.

This is an example of “Silicon Valley CEOs and their inability to divorce ICE and the complete lack of understanding of why that makes them monsters,” a Salesforce employee told 404 Media. “Employees are going absolutely apeshit in internal Slack about how completely awful it was.” Another employee told 404 Media that Benioff “then followed it up with a joke about not understanding the message of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance. On its own just seems out of touch, but coupled with the previous joke it does seem worse.”

In October, Salesforce told ICE that it would be willing to allow the agency to use its AI to hire, and said the company was well-placed to help ICE “to nearly triple its work force by hiring 10,000 new officers and agents expeditiously.”

Usually, when a device is built on arm32 architecture, it is not possible to switch to arm64 due to hardware limitations, but this is an exception! The L009UiGS and L009UiGS-2HaxD-IN devices come with an arm64 processor that was initially run in arm32 mode for stability, but we have improved our software! Now, it is possible to do a simple package switch.

Note that there are other 32-bit Mikrotik products with 64-bit ARM Cortex A53 processors, which may get the same upgrade to 64-bit, including the “hEX refresh,” “hEX S (2025),” and “hAP ax S”.
