It’s funny that the GOP/MAGATs are calling Harris’s policy proposals far-left. Even for the US, they are mild center right and would’ve been Republican policies in the 1980s. In Western Europe, they’d be quite far to the right, but not quite far right.
She’s a standard-issue Democrat. Shocking.
This is really revealing as to the so-called vibe shift of the last few months:
I was laughing at the Rowling-haters when that nonsense came up a few years ago. “Cho Chang” is a fairly common Chinese name. I met at least one, maybe two, people named that when I lived there. Can’t remember for sure now.
It’s fucking annoying how my fellow liberals will insist on telling you how the world is, even though they don’t know a goddamn thing about it. I’d be very hesitant to speak on behalf of another entire culture I didn’t know jack shit about. But many of them do it with laughable and predictable results.
Why AI Models Are Collapsing And What It Means For The Future Of Technology.
Back in my day, “model collapse” was what we called it when Kate Moss took too much heroin.

Hush now, you’re not supposed to ask questions like that. If you do, the streets will flow with blood, the air will turn to water, and Congress will pass a law requiring pineapple on all pizzas.
The Pentagon Is Planning a Drone ‘Hellscape’ to Defend Taiwan.
Good. Yesterday, I was just thinking about a future post covering essentially this sort of drone screen for Taiwan. One thing about the US military is that often its best, most advanced capabilities are classified so the appearance of being far behind the competition is misleading. Having no need of stotting as other countries do, the US can bide its time and surprise adversaries with unexpected tech and hardware.
This implies that we’re doing better with drones than anyone had previously suspected.
This spider uses trapped fireflies to lure in more prey.
Well that just seems mean. It’s kind of a fly-one get-one free meal I guess. I know that’s a light pun, but I was working on web development.

Tech Layoffs Reach 132,000 8 Months Into 2024.
Very brutal out there this year. And as I’ve mentioned before, that doesn’t include all the de facto layoffs disguised as RTO. Also, there have been a lot of forced relocations. It’s probably going to get a bit worse too, at least in tech.
The Ian Welshian Putinoids must be shitting themselves now about how successful the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk has been, and how much it has embarrassed their preferred Motherland. I wonder if their masturbation fantasies still involve Vladimir, and if so does he now have a bag over his head?

What Americans Get Wrong About Electric Cars.
Keep talking, JD! Vance’s creepy views on ‘females’ are repelling women voters. Indeed they are.
Kamala Harris needs to take on Google and other monopolies.
The big question touching a nerve this election: “Can my husband find out who I am voting for?”
Harris has the right idea on housing. It has to be managed as both a consumer good and as an asset class. I don’t agree with this completely, but Harris on housing is far better than most Dems and all Repubs.
How The U.S. Could Transform Its Drone Industry For The Price Of One F-35. We must do this, and much more.
America’s Home Insurance Time Bomb.
Armed conflict is stressing the bones of the global economy. From shipping lanes to airspace to undersea cables, globalization is under physical attack. This is going to get a lot worse.
