Well, yeah this really really isn't good. This outcome is the worst of anything that couldve happened, but it also was absurdly, stupidly, close, if the wind had gusted differently, or if trump moved his head differently while speaking, we would be having a very different conversation.
If you make a great, almost certainly deadly, swat at a hornet, but it miraculously escapes and stings you in the face, acknowledging that it was a good try at least is fair.
i agree, but also assassinating the president cannot be an easy task, and considering how far away they were, literally grazing his head is a very very good attempt. trump got absurdly lucky here
if we get a video showing something changing on his face before he touches it or falls to the ground, I think that would rule out false flag, or at least they would have had to actually shoot something at him to do that.
for 3d printed gun people (not personally one of them, just browsed their subreddit once), they use some vaguely blockchain crypto related p2p video host called LBRY, not sure if that model is scalable though, as it seems to be based around free p2p hosting like torrents, although there was some mention of hosting fees, presumably in crypto? not sure
the infrastructure of the pirate streaming sites is impressive, but I bet that is still orders of magnitude easier than hosting youtube.
I wonder why grayjay is still fine but youtube-dlp isn't. strange
open source drivers were developed for apple's gpus, so if there is demand seems like someone would do it for qualcomm
hermione was criticized a lot by pretty much everyone when she tried to free the house elves and made badges etc.
the us military will always have more firepower than your group of armed civilians. maybe good for defending against other armed civilians, but don't act like you could take on the military.
but those are the cool interesting research related AIs, not the venture capital hype LLMs that will gift us AGI any day now with just a bit more training data/compute.
The first ift launch throwing concrete everywhere sucked for everyone involved, birds and spacex. They have a real working launch pad water deluge system now, and the second tower will have a flame trench.
I am not a fan of elon musk and his disregard for authority, but realistically, traditional aerospace companies (nasa, boeing, ula) have been slowly plodding towards the overbudget disposable mess that is SLS for the past 2 decades, while spacex has designed, built, and flown an entirely new and different rocket, with crazy (but potentially doable) goals, in the past couple of years. It's hard not to be excited for them, even though they really should care more about the state park they are next to.
some large commercial dna testing companies share their databases with law enforcement, and additionally you really don't need a close match to start identifying someone, 5th cousin type thing etc. heres an good video on the issue.
