My line for computational adequacy was crossed with the Core2Duo. Any chip since has been fine for everyday administration or household use, and they are still fine running linux.

Any Apple silicon including the M1 is now adequate even for high end production, setting a new low bar, and a new watershed.

The cartoon is a critique of capitalism, not automation. Maybe most voters or readers are missing that.

Anton Petrov is a solid science commentator. He mostly just reports and doesn’t do much conjecture unless he’s reporting on public discourse about the issue. He doesn’t rely on charisma, slick production, or sensationalism, even if he has ti play the algorithm game. Examine his extensive channel on youtube.

If you plan some violence and include jury nullification as some viable part of the plan, and publish that shit online, not only is it kind of useless and lousy opsec, but it will attract heat that is unwanted and unnecessary. It’s literally a conspiracy to undermine nullification at that point, like a false flag. So no, don’t do that, and I back the mods on this.

History is rhyming again.

I expect to eventually see a lot of storage as long term investment, especially gravity, flywheel, and molten salt due to cheap safety.

Desalination, aluminum recycling, ad infinitum. Anyone who says excess solar is an insurmountable problem is manipulating you.

I wonder if it’s because 28 Days Later was shot on a handful of Canon XL-1’s, which was a breakthrough as they were one of the first prosumer cameras that could pull off a film like that.

Kind of a nod and a wink at the heritage of the story to shoot on consumer hardware.
