I had to stop myself from downvoting you out of frustration for just reading that comment. Like jesus fucking christ, 100+ people died and they’re sitting on their ass worried about a ‘six-figure deployment contract’. That’s less than a million dollars! That’s fucking nothing at a government level!!!
Turtle WoW is great, I’m dreading Blizzard shutting it down though. I’m hoping they avoid them but I feel their upcoming remastered client might attract too much attention.
Wait, this was from yesterday? So me, a full time working, non-American, random guy, knew about the AI part in this bill DAYS before someone who’s actual fucking job it is to read and vote on this shit?
I don’t fucking believe her. And if she’s telling the truth it’s not like it’s any better.
Good luck, it’s been 280 days since I put in for my renewal and it’s still apparently only passes the initial review. Called about 4 times now, no help at all. Maybe the AB CFO will be a bit better for time.
I would fucking love that. I find it unlikely but I really want to work in space manufacturing without moving to the USA. I know there are a handful of companies here, but not enough.
A good use for hostile architecture, unlike spiked steps that stop people from sitting on them.
No, any weather radar around here is either owned / operated by airports or the military. Although if the price were low enough that’d be a pretty cool hobby to get into, with many legal hurdles I’m sure lol. I’m sure some individuals would pay for the premium weather provider who have the radars, that’s what I’m proposing they scrape the data from. Like you say, emergency data is really where this will hurt people, especially in areas with hurricanes and tropical storms.
Oh I know it takes a lot of work, but that’s why I have a hard time understanding where the profit will come from. And why couldn’t they just scrape the current weather along with the current forecast to share? Sure it may not be updated with the latest and greatest info we’ve come to expect, but it wasn’t that long ago that the forecast was obtained daily in the paper. I know I sure as hell won’t be paying for it (put aside from the fact I’m Canadian (for now…)), I’d sooner get an anemometer and start taking my own readings.
I still don’t see how they plan to privatize weather forecasting. All it takes is one or two people from each city to scrape the data and upload it to a free alternative site. It’s not like health care where each person needs individualized care, it’s more like streaming services and we’re all seeing how that’s going. Never thought the future would involve pirating weather forecasts…
Nah, this is closer to hiring a gardener for your lawn that YOU’RE in the process of illegally paving over. There’s no external 3rd party forcing the closure of the Department of Education, it’s all Trump’s actions.
I remember when “the cloud” was the AI of its time, being used everywhere and everything as a buzz word, someone released a browser addon called cloud-to-butt that replaced the word cloud with butt. Mild side effect of making weather forecasts concerning. I’m sure the code could be changed!
There are a few out there, Ken Klippenstein has been receiving and publishing a lot of leaks recently. It does make me worried for his security though.
I’ve always wondered why politicians get a massive break in the summer, seems like a really bad idea to have the people running the country not around to do their jobs in case of an emergency. I know they can be recalled, but still, that takes time. This isn’t just a USA specific problem either.
