it is extremely ironic that, even for the guys deputized as a roving secret police to kill other Americans basically at their leisure, the highest form of existence they can conceive of and project is still basically “lifestyle influencer”. Everyone wants to be a fucking Content Creator

Why aren't gas prices dropping if oil is flowing through the Strait? The answer: "For a sign of just how extraordinary oil shipping costs have become, consider this: It’s now more expensive to hire a tanker from the US to China than to launch a rocket into space." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Hiring US-to-China Oil Tanker Costs More Than Launching a Space Rocket
For a sign of just how extraordinary oil shipping costs have become, consider this: It’s now more expensive to hire a tanker from the US to China than to launch a rocket into space.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

Decades of disinvestment and austerity is actually a significant reason why stuff is so expensive! We don't invest in in-house staff, fund projects piecemeal, and do everything as a one-off, so everything costs more.

This sort of stuff makes me want to scream. The cost bloat is in *capital projects* not in operations! Capital projects are bloated because of a complex web of balkanized permitting processes, the byzantine and inconsistent nature of federal grant funding, and outsourcing talent to consultants.

Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying
Use of artificial intelligence
By registering with ISBN Canada, you declare that your book was created by a human author. You may use AI tools only for limited support tasks, such as brainstorming ideas, checking grammar, or formatting your book. You must not use AI to generate the text, create the artwork, or translate the book. ISBN Canada does not issue ISBNs for works whose content is primarily generated by AI. LAC is currently reviewing its policy regarding the use of AI content creation and our guidance is subject to change.

Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

This is not just about immigrant rights. If immigrants do not have rights, US citizens do not have rights either. They always can call you "immigrant" and you have no recourse whatsoever.

The worst part about magazine adventure games? By the time you typed it all in, you knew how to beat it. (Source.)
A big two-page spread. Top left, in angular script, the words "Dog Star Adventure. Runs on a TRS-80. By Lance Micklus." After a dense little intro describing the backstory, there follows a ~3800 line program describing a rescue of a princess from an evil general in a space ship. Each column of code is in red; the code is heavily obfuscated, and unlike most BASIC program listings, shows many code inserts at multiples of 5s, indicating lots of editing; unfortunately, the english text isn't edited itself, giving away several jokes and plot points (such as a McDonalds joke, or a 'turbolift' that ran out of turbo). At bottom right, an illustration shows two ersatz stormtroopers guide an ersatz Princess Leia through an ersatz Death Star.
