That’s the same psychological effect like 9.95 for a product versus 10.00 I guess.

Seems cops think they’re MaxTac already.

And it will say people of lower economic classes and foreign origin are the biggest risk. Will action be taken to help these people? Nah. This is just going to be a technological excuse for some good ol’ repression.

Idiots with bone spurs didn’t make it through the first challenge for leadership.

how you never have anyone who can actually “manage” the AI workers.

You just use other AI to manage those worker AI. Experiments do show that having different instances of AI/LLM, each with an assigned role like manager, designer, coding or quality checks, perform pretty good working together. But that was with small stuff. I haven’t seen anyone wiling to test with complex products.

Freude, schöner Götterfunken!

(Joy, thou shining spark of God)

It reminds me too much of these moments in RTS games, or Sim City, that time you got hit hard and you have to rebuild, but don’t have resources to build, but to get more resources you need to build infrastructure. It can take so long to get out of that rut, and that’s of you don’t get hit by another calamity.

Sometimes I think any policy maker should play a game of old school Sim City 2000 and we can all see how they do before we vote for them.

And see him do the angry accordion

And a flyover with a crop duster.

Rumour going around the tariffs would be delayed 90 days gave positive vibes. That rumour is already discredited though.

Yep. It’s giving some flashbacks to 2008 financial crisis. It’ll take some time, maybe years, before everything recovers. And that’s if Trump isn’t doing his best to make it worse.

A number of places have a time limit. It’s all you can eat in 3 hours. There can be rules that you have to eat what you take, and when you take entire plates but barely touch them, the restaurant gets a bit annoyed.

From a European perspective, USA only had a right and far right party. Anything on the left side was killed long time ago.

Anybody tried a steam deck with dock? Gaming and casual desktop should be doable with that.

They’ve got some wicked “Off with their heads” vibe going there.

Where is the tech?

In China.

To be fair, tariffs can be implemented in a clean surgical way or start tiny and slowly ramp up so everybody can adjust and anticipate. Tariffs can be used like a feather to tickle the market. Trump is using the whole chicken coup and throwing them in other people’s faces.

Yeah, it’s always ideology first. No argument or evidence can convince them otherwise.

Nah, the big ones have their generous bailouts already guaranteed by Trump and the small fry doesn’t have much influence to stop anything.
