I remember trying to compile it on my 486DX2 with 16MB of ram. I ran out of swap at some point.
How is experimenting on animals less horrible than experimenting on humans? at least humans are able to consent. We should not do these things to beings that are unable to consent.
Everyone has been saying he can’t do most of the things he does on a regular basis. I won’t rule out a 4th term, either.
Remember - everything that ever happened, and everything that ever will happen is just part of a really slow chemical reaction. That’s it. Life is just a random occurrence.
I still don’t understand why contributions are capped at $180k/year (if I remember correctly). What’s the reason for that?
I don’t see how they could possibly do that AND have money leftover to fund space laser research. The math just doesn’t add up.
I loved it and it brought me joy.
Denazification ended up with many former Nazis in public service and government. The allies realized they simply can’t find enough Germans who were not former Nazis to run the country.
This is what lawyers are for.
Another Israeli here. Wholeheartedly agree.

I just want a small phone with a big camera.

I also use it all the time and I hate it very much. It almost never works right on the first try.

AI is not breaking trust. People using AI are breaking our trust.
Re:Netanyahu was warned of 7 October Hamas attacks, book claims on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @07:24PM (#49618580)
There were a lot of warnings. People chose to ignore those warnings, or didn’t think Hamas was up to it.
“Contents: Lizzy Holmes”. That’s all you need.
So… friends in high places?
Can I buy these for myself? Asking for a friend.

You forgot my favorite: “ablation”.
Re:Anthropic Posts First Profitable Quarter in Frontier AI on Wednesday August 19, 2026 @10:21AM (#49362023)
Not sure I believe any kind of numbers published by frontier AI labs. They have every incentive to distort the truth.
Re:U.S. Urges Apple Not to Buy Chinese Memory Chips on Saturday August 15, 2026 @06:35PM (#49314930)
Just as a fun thought exercise: let’s say you’re a Chinese state actor, you got Apple to buy your RAM. How could you possibly exploit this? I’m drawing a blank.
Re:We just raised $400M in Series C on Wednesday August 12, 2026 @04:41PM (#49278256)
Churn for these no code businesses has to be off the charts. I wouldn’t count this revenue to hold once everyone had their first try.
With a puppet in the White House and an indecisive Europe, it makes perfect sense. And he’ll also get away with it. The Baltics will go first - Europe will not do a single thing other than spin up a few committees.
They get training data for their own future AI slop AND more clicking engagement from users. Smart move.
Good for one free crime of your choice
There is no World Cup without UEFA.
Europeans can move very fast when they want to.
I’ve never heard that before. That explains a lot.
Pretty sure Israel has even higher taxes. The people who live there don’t live there because of the tax situation, they live there because they are Jewish. You really can’t offset that with a revised tax code.
How soon before it gets hacked and everyone loses everything?
