I am so tired of people trying to shove AI down my throat that anytime anyone talks about AI or adopts anything using it or anything like that I will just go on a ten minute tangent about how massive companies suck and AI is not even remotely the future. You did this to me, OpenAI/Microsoft/Apple/<insert other massive company here>.

You know the North Koreans are getting owned when I can share a new, 4 minute long video of them getting owned and owned and owned by a plethora of drone strikes, AND share an article about how they are getting owned and owned and owned by cluster munitions, to what appears to be an even greater degree.

Heidegger and/in/on Translation - ed. by Luca Illetterati and Elena Nardelli
In 2020, the journal Verifiche dedicated a double special issue – titled “Hegel and/in/on Translation,” edited by Saša Hrnjez and Elena Nardelli – to the relationship between Hegel’s philosophy and the topic of translation. This special issue of Verifiche, “Heidegger and/in/on Translation,” aims to build upon this philosophical and editorial project, this time addressing the specificity of the relationship between Heidegger’s philosophy and practical and theoretical questions r…

The head of the State Duma Committee on Financial Markets, Anatoly Aksakov, is urging the widespread adoption of food ration cards for the poor, who are judged not to have pensions large enough to support themselves, due to inflation.
As has been the norm lately, the central government wants to push the cost of ration cards on to both shopkeepers and local governments, as much as is possible.

After discussing the possibility for several months, European nations are finally forming a unified barrier of insurance checks and enforcement around areas where Russia's shadow fleet operate... a very important development, as it either will deprive them from the ability to keep evading sanctions, or significantly increase the costs and risks of doing so.
Big ramifications. This could have a major impact on Russia's recent long term oil delivery deal with India, i.e.

Sounds like Russia's tech industry - including internet, software, etc. - is seeing sharp declines in revenue, with widespread, major layoffs.
"The economy is in s***. It seems like everyone really needed IT specialists, there was a shortage of personnel, and all that. But the market has no money for development, the marketing tools have collapsed. Although both marketers and IT specialists are needed, there is no money. But everyone is hiding this."

I had mentioned that Russian freight trucks weren't doing well, but... things are getting uglier.
Large numbers of them are getting out of the business entirely, or trying to downsize their truck fleets due, in part, to the high key rate and general unprofitability of trucking in Russia under current circumstances.
They're even facing high incidences of non-payment by their clients!

About those massive Russian losses of equipment near Kursk... looks like Ukraine released video of it.
Considering that Russia only has about 5-2 odds on that front, well... I don't think things are going all that well. Whatever gains they are making are just too expensive.

Ukrainian drone units near Kursk have inflicted huge losses to Russian vehicles and equipment on the roads approaching the conflict zone, while Ukrainian soldiers successfully fend off human wave attacks.

I see that HomeAsaistent is way more powerful than HomeBridge. Can it also add its HA devices and stuff to the HomeKit Home app like HomeBridge can tho?

(Yup.)

Can we create an English dialect that spells “colour”, “flavour”, etc, but that spells “recognizable” and not “recognisable”, “specialization” and not “specialisation”, etc?
The colour and such words with a “u” are way prettier, but the ones with an s instead of a z are just weird. Z is way better

Drawing attention to this thread of comments of mine from a few days ago, as it goes deeper into apparent efforts from European nations to Trump-proof Ukraine, which is actually VERY important for European security.
It's nice seeing news articles pointing out Ukrainian funding & Russian appeasement isn't something Trump gets to dictate, but rather, a situation where Europe is trying to diplomatically push back against Trump to defend their legitimate security interests.

Aaaa reactions are so cool!!

To paraphrase John Gilmore,
*"Europe interprets Trump as damage and routes around him".*

This situation actually reminds me a bit of the dotcom bubble collapse in the late '90s / early '00s, with slight differences.
Declining stocks & VC led to a bunch of startups initially being unable to obtain additional funding. To make matters worse, ad demand started falling, leading to lower revenues for ad-based internet services.
In this case, a decline of ad demand is trailing dotcom revenue shortages. I suspect currency & stock weakness & a slowing econ…

Hmmm when I imported my Bookmarks.csv here they came upside down (older bookmarks at the top instead of at the bottom)
Is there any way to fix that?

One obvious reason this could be the case, despite the stimulus impact of the war, is that a lot of dotcoms / tech companies are highly sensitive to the stock market, VC funding, etc.
IOW, revenue from the stock market & VC funding suddenly disappeared, leaving them at the mercy of high rate loans, due to the historically high Russian central bank key rate.
And so, huge swathes of high tech are at risk of debt spirals and ever-increasing rates on loans.
