    AI Good and Bad

    Academia made itself irrelevant decades ago, and AI had nothing to do with it whatsoever.

    Sharia, Islam, Muslim .. pay attention to your blind spots

    Pretty easy to hate, hate. Wherever I see hate, I hate it. I have no tolerance for it, and religions motivated by it. By no tolerance, I mean 1 step further than whatever the hate-filled ideology prescribes, but a decisive step. That position itself harbors no hate; it's a pragmatic reaction to...

    Boobie Cam

    I did not click the link based on the title, honest. Thought it said Bobby cam, which is a better excuse, somehow.

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    I'm baffled as to why standard construction doesn't include conduit for running whatever later on. PVC is practically nothing. I have relatively easy attic access (16" rafters) that gives access to the 2nd story including the garage. Placed my network hub in the coat closet which is relatively...

    Kudos to Rosie for her stunt. She seems fickle though and I expect her back in a couple years.

    Abusive Boyfriend tries to run over girlfriend who jumped out of moving car - Instead Hits a Parked Car

    Which part of Somalia did you say you live? South-central Somalia? I'll reiterate the craziest thing that has gone down in my neighborhood is some kids took a 6-pack of Coke (the drink) from an unlocked car. I'm probably the biggest hooligan in the hood.

    100%. And those who think there's better places to be should figure out how to get there, and I'd be happy to pack their bags and wish them a pleasant journey.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The US should pay people who don't want to be here to leave provided there are severe penalties for returning, including the requirement to pay back everything plus interest. If people have other places they can occupy and they don't want to be here, then everyone wins when they leave.

    Why do so many people here dislike Wi-Fi cameras?

    The 2.4Ghz band is already jammed full of stuff. My WiFi network alone has 44 devices, and none of those are cameras. Then I have neighbors surrounding me all running their 2.4Ghz stuff.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    CA has the climate and attractions that people want, so no amount of mismanagement will deter those who seek the intrinsic allure. Perhaps a few billionaires leave, but that makes room for all the others who want to participate in the rat-race while soaking in the sun.

    10/10 all time hotties thread

    When I was a kid I'd watch "Flipper" with the sound off just so I could catch the 10 seconds of Jessica Alba in a bikini. Spent hours watching that show and have no idea what it was about. I think there was a dolphin or something. Whatever happened to her anyhow? Haven't seen her in anything...

    Money & Economics

    Corporations don't have their own money, they have consumer money. 100% of corporate taxes are paid by consumers. Increase corporate taxes and it just makes domestic business uncompetitive with other nations while you pay more for goods and services.

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    Clear evidence the Ayatollah is the True Profit and should be supported by every means possible. :rolleyes: At this point we should refine uranium for them, give the nuclear football code, and denigrate women at every opportunity. May peace be upon our corpses.

    American Flag Placement - Opinions?

    That was all that was necessary to settle school loans? I'd do that every day and twice on Sunday to get out from under the thumb of fraudulent educational extortion. Fortunately for me, my "education" expenditure is in the low 5-digits which I paid back immediately. It was worth every penny...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Among the most clear thinkers our our generation. The Tribe A, or Tribe B lens has not passed, because it's innate in the DNA of every cell in the human body. The Uniparty is alive and well. 2 sides of the same idiotic coin.

    AI Good and Bad

    AI has no intention, so poor outcomes would be the result of malicious intent or negligent programming. Avoid the paper-clip problem and it's mostly just a powerful tool. The thing most worrisome to me about all technology (and AI in particular) is that it tends to further alienate people from...

    American Flag Placement - Opinions?

    Meant to post to this thread, but managed to post it to an unrelated thread... The Harley dealership off I-205 has a yuuge flag that the communists commuting to Portland are confronted by as they are stuck in gridlock traffic. I should mention, not me BTW. I ride a ricer.

    [Release] OpenVINO for BI

    Holy crap, that was by far the hardest thing I've ever done with a computer. I went wrong on step 1. Install Python 3.11.9, and everything after was a hack job with AI clumsily getting me to the next error. Since I have an Intel CPU and not AMD, I didn't use the link for the Python installer...

    Money & Economics

    The system IS rigged to keep stupid poor people poor. How many words are in the current tax code, and who can comprehend it all? Would it pass an AI test for clarity and non-contradiction? Uniparty is the term we use to understand that 2 sides of the same coin is still the same coin. Growing...

    Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

    I would give everyone who declares me an enemy relentless and devastating destruction until they decide they no longer wish to be my enemy, because I'm not retarded or a eunuch.

    Everything is economics. "It's the economy, stupid". I can point you to these 17 unbroken posts in this thread, and let others apply their own definition of "spam posting". Right back atcha. Do you? Iran has been the #1 cause of terrorism in those decades. They're...

    I Fell Down the Pixel Rabbit Hole

    Youtube's algorithm has me figured out, so I clicked a video despite the click-bait title- The Biggest Mistake in the History of Hollywood The takeaway is that many so-called 4k movies aren't 4k because they were mastered in 2k. This occurred from the early 2000s until about 2020. We got...

    Recent Rise in Theft – Are Dahua Cameras Reliable Enough?

    I still don't understand why sensor size is given as 1 divided by an inch instead of the diagonal, or even better yet, the total area of the sensor.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    The "Eat the Rich" and "Pay Your Fair Share" crowd were never interested in balancing the budget or solving any real problem; they're simply Envious, Spiteful, Small-minded, Horrible Cretins. You can't reason people out of a position they didn't reason themselves into- that's a yuuge waste of...
