Artificial Intelligence
I wonder if the Trump administration would actually pursue a policy where they try to limit the latest models to American citizens. It would probably be too disruptive (and tech industry which has influence with Trump would push back strongly) but I see some Trump supporters already talking about this on social media.
- You know this is the way Trump himself has got to be thinking...why should we give it to the rest of the world?yuekit
- That would certainly guarantee an AI "bubble burst". And his beloved stock market crashing.NBQ00
- including foreign nationals on US soil is the lol - how the fuck would anthropic enforce that. but it would not surprise me if this was all planned.kingsteven
- Theoretically you could have some kind of signup policy similar to crypto sites. But you definitely can't enforce API usage.yuekit
- I feel like this should be above any administration itself.monospaced
- You wonder that he might limit poorer people than he to make money?Nairn
- or they're all in on it, its all for show, plays right in to darios narrative and its beneficial for all (incl musk) to send all 3 IPOs to the literal moonkingsteven
- The billionaires will offer more powerful LLMs to corporations and the ultra rich that all these fools are busy training with their current AI use.garbage

Show some recent work
Built a horn loaded, battery powered bluetooth speaker, inspired by https://www.jwsound.live/ and based on his 3D model of the horn and instructions. Developed into quite a time sink but the build was a lot of fun! Sounds decent already, just needs a bit of fine tuning of the sound processor.

- looks sick manCalderone2000
- Lovely!palimpsest
- YO! Looks amazing.
I'm now wondering at how the structure of the 3d print may or may not affect the sound. So cool, James!Nairn - badassBonSeff
- First glance I said stewart does it again - but tip o the cap, Jamesstoplying
- @Nairn jwsound has it figured out, they are using hornresp software to model it. Works the same way as in a Megaphone but with kess distortionjamesbeat

Watching folks age and losing love for life and the things they were once very passionate about (to the point they couldn't shut up about it) is heartbreaking... :(
Talk my fucking ear off again... please. <3
- I see this in myself. I spent decades music-obsessed and now...? I barely listen to it.
Need to fix this, massively. If only because I can't have my kid...Nairn - ...grow up in a house without song.
I don't know what happened.
But it did. And I hate it.Nairn - Same with fiction. Used to work in a bookshop, haven't read a novel in years. Just writing that is painful.Fax_Benson
- Although I do have music on 24/7, which might be the problem.Fax_Benson
- We're old, tired and fed up... But, tomorrow, tomorrow will be better ;)OBBTKN

2026 World Cup
Good lord, our midfield is shambolic.
- We’ll take the draw I guess but we need a much better effort next two games :\_niko
- A point's a point. But holy shit, we really, really need to start converting open-play chances, or else this is going nowhere.Continuity
- Dominated possession with barely anything to show for it.Continuity
- I'm pretty sure Marsh is falling into the same trap Herdman did: pack the bench on feel and vibes, and not on what's going to win a match.Continuity
- Marsch is a bellend. He managed Leeds United and would spout so much shit after every game, like he had no idea what he was on about. Good luck!!Ianbolton
- Herdman wasn't much better, sadly. He ran his mouth during WC22, it was really cringe.Continuity
- @ianbolton yep Marsch is/was a knobheadMrT

- Are all the episodes out? I'm waiting to get a 7-day free trial of Apple TV through Amazon so I can jam through this, looks so good!elahon
- ill give it a trymilfhunter
- Yup. Season is finished. Fun watchhardhat
- Yes, it's fun. Not totally my genre, but still enjoyed it very much.Longcopylover
- Sooooooooooooo good, and ridiculous, so many details, clues to storyline planted in backdrop... Patricia’s sunset cocktails might be best TV ep seen in long timeprophetone
- She’s the goat
https://youtube.com/…prophetone - The show is totally dialled, nothing loose about it, every moment is intentional, scenes are scary, dramatic but simultaneously hilarious, characters are greatprophetone
- They just confirmed a season two like yesterday I thinkprophetone
- So good.monospaced
- Upvote! So good. I like how each ep is a few days apart. Adds to the overall ambiance of the town and the peoplemisterhow
- The physical comedy is my favorite. At the peak scariest moments they throw in some evil dead gag that just had me rolling. Absolute perfection.monospaced
- Finale is next week.monospaced
- Can’t wait!prophetone

and an article on Indiewire featuring our director
https://www.indiewire.com/featur…- Congrats! Worked for them once upon a time. Would not recommend, lol...duckseason

- Would love to see the very first Monkey Island remastered in this modern pixel art style and available for the S2NBQ00
- <^ Now we're talkin @nbqduckseason
- I wish I'd saved it, but someone stuck the original Monkey Island pixel art through AI and it animated annoyingly wellNairn

Dis or Dat?
Dis: awesome, deliciously smooth and homogeneous, delectably tampered-with, containing sugar, probably nutritiously less than ideal, which is a problem because you eat it with a spoon instead of on bread:
Dat: awful, hard, slightly bitter, ruins bread when trying to spread it, has frustrating layer of oil that has to be stirred back in which is difficult because of the hard texture, probably good for you because organic and unprocessed:
- Dat. Good food dies at the altar of convenience.MrT
- It's not just about convenience, it's about taste and experience.jagara
- Having said that, "good food dies at the altar of convenience" is very true. I'll remember that :)jagara
- Yeah if you eat one regularly the other will taste a bit crazy! But anything beyond peanuts and salt in PB is debatable...MrT
- All food is debatable. I prefer semi-synthetic peanut butter in direct comparison with the organic kind. I grew up with the organic kind, but saw the light.jagara
- Dat. I've just got to watch PB because if I've a jar in the kitchen, I'm eating it by the spoonful before bed and giving myself 3am indigestion.Nairn
- Dat. Peanuts and salt. Keep that other shit outta my pb.bezoar
- Exactly. America adds shit to food the rest of the world debated, and then said no.MrT
- I agree. Except here, where it makes the product better.jagara
- Mmm, cottonseed oil
https://pubmed.ncbi.…Nairn - Dis or dat but you can only answer dis. Got it.MrT
- Please choose dat, while I eat dis.jagara
- I’m having it with Marmite so feel a bit hypocritical now : )MrT
- Now thinking: Peanut Butter, a smidge of miso, tahini & Bovril, over mature cheddar and thick white bread, slathered in slightly salted butter.Nairn
- Fuckit, do the same with a smear of strawberry jam. Or pomegranate syrup.
FFFFF, I need to go home.
Why do I torture myself at work?Nairn - @Nairn wow, those are some advanced sandwiches you make :)jagara
