    They say only two things in the world are inevitable: death and taxes.
    Both evils, to be avoided.
    With technology developing at its current pace,
    let’s discuss the inevitability of death another time.
    But, unlike death, taxes aren’t part of the cosmic firmament.
    They’re neither necessary nor desirable.

    Pertaining to the Writers’ Guild strike in Hollywood:

    “One of the main focus points in the labor dispute is the residuals from streaming media;[5] the WGA claims that AMPTP’s share of such residuals has cut much of the writers’ average incomes compared to a decade ago.[6][7] Writers also wanted artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT to be used only as a tool that can help with research or facilitate script ideas and not as a tool to replace them.[8][9]”

    Top Ten Myths About China – Part 2 What are the myths about China floating around the West?

    With AI, a major problem is – who decides the goals, the sub goals that lead to the goals, the things to measure as progress towards those goals?

    You end up doing stupid things because you aren’t where the wheels meet the road- have no idea what is actually happening. Same as now, you have lots of data but not meaning. Or you end up asking the AI not only to, in godlike fashion, gather and process data, but decide FOR you what data is significant and in what way. Eventually, either purposely or accidentally, you’ll end up ceding goal-making to the AI on that path.

    From what I can gather, sounds like Ukraine had a strategic reserve consisting of, amongst other things about 600 tanks. 3 weeks into the Great Counteroffensive, sounds like they are down by about 180. (Putin said 240 recently)

    So they had roughly 4 WW2 armored divisions as a reserve and are down to roughly 3. (If we take a smaller-sized paper strength of 140ish tanks per armored division, some had more like 260)

    Human Wave can mean a few different things I suppose

    There’s human wave like the British on the Somme – lining up and walking slowly forward through a landscape the consistency of cottage cheese while wearing 100 kilos of gear, stopping to dress the lines occassionally.

    There’s human wave like the French near the end of WW1 or the Iranians in the Iraq-Iran war, which is not just herds of sheep running forward. More like lots of fast mixed arms teams rushing forward from position to position behind creeping fire. Not so stupid.

    Can’t really tell which they are doing. But since they’re getting penetrations of 2k and crowing about it, it seems like whatever they are doing isn’t working too well

    I was measuring distance from Zaporozhe to Sea of Azov as 120mi, but from the front lines, perhaps more like 80mi. Still seems like their objective might as well be the Moon as the coast. I don’t see yet how they can make it. Surely they would LIKE to drive on Mariupol or better yet Rostov if we want to dream big.

    The Germans had more armor trying to achieve roughly the same type of goal under somewhat more favorable conditions in the Battle of the Bulge.

    The pro Ukraine people on the internets keep saying it is like the Normandy invasion. OK where were the Allies 3 weeks into that? stuck in a couple small 2-3km deep lodgments?

    When you see a painting like that…its painful how far we have fallen. This demonic jewgulag is no place for White people. Morality, honor, integrity, order…look back, to your ancestors who could smell these satanists a mile away and cut them down, hard. They would make a necklace of human heads for their horse…that is how you deal with these demons. What was old will be new again.

    What I really dislike about derogatory racial bigotry is not its meanness or judgmental dismissiveness:: humans are often mean and judgmental.

    It’s the stupidity. They need color-coded people to know whom to look down on. If they’re white, like Jews, then you have to look at the tips of their dicks before you can say, ‘Ah. A helmet head. You are vermin scum, root of all problems.’ blah blah blah

    It’s fantastically dumb.

    Thanks, boco.

    I’ve been a fan of Talking Heads for decades but cannot stand talking heads.

    By the way, the waters of the Atlantic are superheated, the ice in the Artic region is super-thin, the ice around Antartica is at a record low, Canada is a semi-burned tinderbox, and Airstrip Five (NZ) is no longer a ‘safe haven’ for those hoping to escape the effects of planetary overheating brought on by the overuse of fossil fuels. The warmest May ever and the warmest first half of June ever.

    Also, the economy and welfare systems have been driven into a ditch by the managers of NZ Inc. I guess the manager’ short-term fix will be to ship tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees here to prop things up for a few more months.

    Propaganda, censorship and tyranny reign supreme, along with ignorance and stupidity.

    Prigozhin broke into the top 10 most trusted politicians last month

    Kinda was looking like he was going to pull back on trash talking the MoD after signing his men over. Predictive programming? Make sure the ire of the Russian people is directed at the MoD in the event this goes south?

    Today’s clip above is why Tulsi Gabbard is the only politician to whom I’ve ever donated money — $25.

    U.S. Grant (The Butcher) learned the hard way that an entrenched opponent can only be defeated by fixing them in place and flanking them. It took a spring, summer and fall of continuous marching and fighting, then a winter in Petersburg’s trenches, before, with sufficient manpower, he flanked Robert E. Lee’s Confederates and forced a surrender at Appomattox.

    Tactical nuclear weapons make a repeat of Grant’s Virginia Campaign impossible. This is why Russia has placed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Ukraine (NATO) cannot flank Russia’s defenses to the North or from the Black Sea to the South. The only way is a direct assault against fortifications in depth with satellite and drones locating and directing artillery and missiles on the attacking men and armament. Likewise, the same, if Russia invades Poland to flank Ukraine’s trenches. Tactical nuclear weapons will be used to avoid defeat.

    With 1.1 million dead Americans in the coronavirus pandemic, likewise, projections of 70 million US dead in a limited nuclear war are dismissed. The problem that is ignored is that the instant that tactical nuclear weapons are used, the strategic ICBMs in silos become vulnerable to a nuclear first strike and they will be ignited first. Human civilization at a minimum in the Northern Hemisphere is done for. In addition, nuclear winter is dissed but the after effects of a nuclear war between India and Pakistan are projected to kill 2 billion humans.

    The only alternative is an Armistice and DMZ, like Korea, that prevented a nuclear exchange in the First Cold War. This is only possible if good government and the rule of law are restored in the West. Neoliberal individual authoritarianism must end. If peace and governing in the best interests of the people are given a chance, again, human beings could continue to inhabit the Earth.

    btw, afewknow, what I like about you vis a vis climate change is that you present consistent data sets and take the time to stack them with logical symmetry and stay on target, whereas those attempting to debunk present rather chaotic data arrays and don’t present (to my eyes) a linear coherent logic trail. But that’s just me, subjectively, and my opinion means nuts.

    I don’t know if the globe will warm or cool from the disturbances we’re creating in the earth’s thermal albedo, but I dov know that the weather is currently behaving very erratically which is what happens when you nudge a large, majestically complex system with the same chaotic attractor over and over and over and over…

    I don’t hardly care about climate change theory because, per said theory, we’re already too late and headed for the anticipated toaster (although I think it’s as likely that we oscillate rapidly between mini Ice Ages and mini hot house climates… which would be even worse than the classic ‘sea levels rising’ doom predictions.

    But I do care about consistent data presentations, and for my personal money, you do that really really well.

    But then, I think that Hillary Clinton was hot when she was 50, so you know there’s something not right with me. 😉

    “…some theories on why Prigozhin has the green light to talk smack.”

    This assumes that Putin has given some kind of permission or that Prighozhin feels he needs it. Initial premises are crucially important for subsequent hypothesizing to be much good.

    Putin is not going to do Wagner in Ukraine with massive aerial bombardments or whatever it would take to dismantle them on the field. They still serve a valuable purpose, and the PR would be disastrous.

    When they are no longer needed, I think that either Prigozhion will a) shut up, b) abandon the Eurasian sphere, or c) Putin orders cease&desist with promised annihilation if they refuse.

    I don’t think Putin gives Prigozhin much thought at all at this point. Prigozhin’s just talking, pissing in the wind. He may have already crossed some red line with Putin and has nothing to lose now.

    The only time I recall the Putin admin addressing Prigozhin (since he started bitching)was to tell him, a month or two ago, when Prigozhin first started serious bitching, to stay in Ukraine or be treated as traitors/terrorists. Basically saying, “If you want to come back home and stay out of jail, stay in Ukraine.”

    ***

    About nukes, McCarthur, Korean Conflict, Prigozhin: MaCarthur got shit-canned by Truman halfway through the war. MacArthur was talking too freely to the press, and bitching as well. Truman and MacArthur took turns finger-pointing each other, primarily over the use of atomic weapons — accusing each other of wanting to use the weapon while MacArthur also complained of Truman not allowing him to use atomic weapons.

    Basically, nutso behavior by MacArthur. MacA got canned, and Truman did too come next election, Eisenhower kicking him aside and then winning by a landslide.

    Putin is wise not to speak publicly about Prigozhin. After all, this is a war not a public debate. But elections are coming, and Putin will want to be the kingmaker when this happens. He’ll need to be seen as very credible and competent. Talking to/about Prigozhin only makes him weaker.

    I personally think that the odds of nuclear conflict are now very greatly reduced by Belarus acquiring nukes. Especially when Lukashenko publicly and baldly stated that nation joining their alliance will get nukes, period. (Although for now this surely means just Eurasia.) Nations have more reason to cooperate with the Russian axis.

    “The problem that is ignored is that the instant that tactical nuclear weapons are used, the strategic ICBMs in silos become vulnerable to a nuclear first strike and they will be ignited first.”

    I do not challenge this, just question it because I do not see its logic. Nor am I saying it is illogical, just that it doesn’t tell me why ICBM silos would be more vulnerable to a tactical strike after the use of tacticals elsewhere. I see potential correlation, but not a definite ‘if this, then that’ domino logic chain.

    Can you pls clarify? I always take your pithy analyses very seriously.

    ““J’aime les -uifs!” Holland’s foremost painter shouts as he moves through seventeenth-century Amsterdam’s busy streets. The scene, in Charles Matton’s 1999 film Rembrandt, unwittingly recalls another, from the film of the same name made fifty-eight years before by German director Hans Steinhoff. Already well known for his Hitlerjunge Quex, about a Hitler Youth murdered by Communists, Steinhoff had arrived in Amsterdam in 1941, bringing with him the German actors, set designers, cameramen, and costume directors supplied by Propaganda Minister Goebbels. No expense was spared. Rembrandt’s purpose, after all, was nothing less than to show the freshly conquered “Land of Rembrandt” that the artist who represented its highest achievement was, in Hitler’s words, “a true Aryan and German.”

    “There were two problems. First, Rembrandt was not German. Second, he was famously associated with -ews. An emphasis on the essential “racial” unity of the Dutch and the Germans could take care of the first. The second was trickier. Three centuries later, Rembrandt’s friendships with -ews caused uneasiness in the highest circles of the Reich. Steinhoff’s script therefore directed “drei Männer -üdischen Aussehens“—three men who looked like greasy, greedy Semites— to ruin the heroic Aryan, causing his bankruptcy and plunging him into the oblivion in which he died.

    “Still, as Goebbels and Steinhoff found, the problem with turning Rembrandt into an emblem of Germanic racial superiority was that he, more than any other artist, was popularly and enduringly remembered as a friend of the -ews.”

    chewlticbiker: everyone knows you’re black. It’s ok. We don’t judge people by the color of their skin.or pixel array. That’s your job.

    It used to be you’d ask, ‘Is he that stupid or that malicious?’ Now we have to ask ‘Is it that stupid or that malicious or just another AI rabble-rouser?’ Heaven help us when AI learns how to really, truly, convincingly imitate your standard racially bigoted dipshit. I’m not saying that chewlticbiker doesn’t do a bad imitation of this. Pretty convincing to me, but it lacks that mad dog foam-at-mouth of the true Aryan aspirant. One never knows, do one?

    But srsly, how does one shut the thing off?

    If you can tell the difference between your asshole and your mouth that is… far as I can tell they both smell and look the same. Seems VP “words” were for you.

    If you get vaccinated… you won’t get covid, you won’t go to the hospital, and you won’t die…

    Hahaha

    Latest data from King Co- Liberal vaxtard shithole of the vax Nation-

    Hospitalizations last 30 days-
    – 299 Up to date vax maxxed / 4-5 death doses
    – 276 Vaxd 1- 2 primary doses
    – 155 Unbending Pure Bloods

    575 vax tards vs 155 non taking up hospital beds


    DEAD past 90 Days
    – 19 vax max
    – 34 primary vax
    – 09 my body/ my choice no vax

    53 dead vax vs 9 un

    https://kingcounty.gov/depts/health/covid-19/data/current-metrics.aspx

    Total Vaxd pop King Co

    -85% King County primary vaxd 1-2 doses
    -52% at least one booster
    -33% bivalent tards
    -33% Up to date on death shots

    King Co is a Libtard Vaxtard stronghold, Interesting drop off in boosted vs the latest bivalent garbage-

    Less than 15% did not cave to the Liberal Scum mandates – only 1/3 were retarded enough to keep dosing

    Majority of deaths and hospital cases are vaxd. Shocking (not) that they are not talking about that in the news….

    But, but, but the Vax was going to save us all and free us from lockdowns from the sub human Liberal Scum Overlords.

    There will be no sadness for the dead vaxd scum who went along and are now suffering and dying-
    I personally experienced the wrath of the Vaxtard disgusting scum… they can all eat shit and die painfully, slowly… and maybe realize Vax Nazis deserve what they get- death and suffering like FJB Brandon’s “winter of death”

    As the bots pile up, polarization happens: a group like us here at TAE at some point must defend our integrity. Since censorship is not (and should not be) allowed here, we must resort to other classically brutal methods, like frequent public stonings of miscreant trolls/bots and other fast food commercials.

    But if left to roam amok around here, trolls/bots will make it easy for new readers/lurkers to dismiss our controversial and difficult-to-accept ideas by association with crackpot assholery.

    Used to be that ignoring trolls worked best most of the time. Now trolls breed like lice if you let ’em.

    A note for the general reading public: we are not at war with the vaxxed, nor even the pro-vaxxed. We do not seek pogroms against vaxxers nor do we wish to miserabilise them. We don’t believe whites are superior to other races or that Jews or any race is inherently evil or inferior or dirty or…

    We don’t. By we, I mean most of us. There are ever the degenerate few.

    We are at war, instead, with ignorance regarding covid and countless other dire topics affecting global humanity. A deep respect for freedom of speech bids us tolerate these vile troll/bot intrusions so long as they don’t become enormous bandwidth hogs or just plain spam us.

    (ahem) So srsly, people of TAE, smack them wackamoles down whenever they spout vicious jive. A simple ‘not true’ will do, especially if several of us do it. Every time. I mostly treat TAE as a lark because I do that with everything in life: lighten up, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, etc. But I take very seriously it’s overall influence on the infosphere. It may be small, but a single grain of rice…

    Roaches will take over a house if you don’t keep at ’em when they first start appearing.

    I remember when the big problem was just spam and viruses. Not really bots, just wind-up lice. Now we got full-bore blow-bots spreading virtual bad near-beer breath for that patented human Street Cred(t) aura.

    I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me to believe that real live humans are THAT stupid… and I have a rather poor opinion of human intelligence.

    How many AI subroutines does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    None. AIs can’t screw.

    Rickrolled!

    @BH You deserve troll of the month. You put the work in, you are consistently meaningless, you try to spice the comment section and, for credibility, you claim to be an aeronautical engineer. I like it, a troll that can build paper planes and fly his words to the prettiest in the class.
