I was going to recommend people switch to the Google TV Streamer 4k, but I just realized they raised the price on that $50 a couple months back.

One pushback: there is no Opus 5.5. You might have meant Opus 5.1, the latest Opus model available.

who even has the inventive to do that? certainly not the government.
why would that be the case? it's not true for top secret defense contractors today. and the frontier labs already operate in the dark, openness is a liability.

nationalization to me simply means the government is their main customer and stakeholder, and shield them from liability, governance, and openness. not that the frontier labs become part of the government per se.

they will. to shield from oversight, liability and profitability concerns, and to ensure unimpeded rapid development, with the frontier only being available to elite (not you). definitely not to add transparency.

the frontier labs are the new top secret defense contractors.

Re:Vibe Coding is the new Internet Dating on Tuesday September 15, 2026 @05:54PM (#49719397)
there was a mild stigma around "i met her on facebook". a negative spin would be like: it's like you're stalking random women, and you must not have much luck or courage to approach women. but facebook wasn't exactly a dating app, so.

in 2 years nobody is going to read their code, much less write it. programming will gradually become a lost skill, like cobol or writing assembly. some people will still do it in specialized environments for a while longer, most wont. first it will feel like skill atrophy to the coder, then it will feel obsolete - programming by hand will become a worse way to program. ill advised, like rolling your own encryption or security today.

Zelensky: "60? you mean $20m, right?"

CIA boss: "very funny"

Zelensky: "no seriously."

we're not as bad as Europe is laughable, because Europe is in the process of comitting ethnic and cultural suicide. I want to be heading in the opposite direction as them, not "theres no problem we're not as bad as them".

the Trump administration is ham fisted, performative, and ineffective in almost everything it does. but i agree with stopping and reversing the rapid demographic change in our country. even law abiding ones. i want to live in my culture and my country, not an international airport.

meaning we're all the same? doubt. I know there have been bottlenecks, but they don't seem to have limited human variation among geographical groups. life tends to specialize very efficiently.

can you tell me which branches on OPs human family tree are species versus races/breeds, and why?
