Maybe has something to do with the dinner she had with him.

Power over others is a core value of the hierarchical belief structure of conservatism.

Shhh! You’ll scare him off!

Seconded. Commercialism and monetizing everything is what caused the www to rot. We don’t need it here. Neoliberalism has already robbed generations of the right to simply exist or create without a profit motive, among other things, like literacy. Pretty sick of it.

Porque no los dos? Allowing major corps to put even more downward pressure on workers doesn’t help anyone but the rich. LLMs aren’t going to save the world or become sentient.

What is making my excited is the potential to use this for indoor position tracking for placing persistent virtual displays.

Thank you!!!

This isn’t technically correct. CRT, LCD, and OLED displays are generally constantly refreshing the image. There are some niche exceptions like memory-in-pixel displays but they are few and far between. eInk displays are very different in this aspect because the display itself acts as a physical memory of the image because its mechanism of creating an image involves physical changes (pigmented particles moving closer or further away from the visible plane).

They can believe all they want. Legitimate medicine requires evidence.

My German professor even mentioned the archaic apfelsine for the citrus orange.

Tax capital gains at equal rates to wages and add additional tax brackets to the top, increasing to a 90% rate. Done.

I suspect that it works better when it is applied after saying “It’s morphin’ time!”.

Good point.

To be honest, this could be an example of where AI could do marginally better. I don’t mean that because of code quality or functionality. I mean it in the sense of MS software getting absolutely fucked by internal competition and stack-ranking fostered during the Balmer years. The APIs are inconsistent and there is a ton of partially implemented stuff that will never be pushed to completion because everyone who worked on it was fired.

An AI might be able to implement things without intentionally sabotaging itself but, because LLMs are in the forefront of what would be used and do not have the capability of intention or understanding context, I’m a bit pessimistic.

But plenty of electricity still needed.

90%

The current court has shown pretty clear distain for stare decisis and allowing things to skip the other courts when politically expedient. Plenty of precedent now established to undo the damage.

And mostly because of the cost of housing.

I’m inclined to believe that they’re throwing all prompts and outputs into a db and searching that.

I’d pass on Pete. His work with McKinsey and being a moderate putting up a progressive front is pretty problematic. His historical interest in cultivating relationships with elites rather than supporting equity also causes significant pessimism for how he would act.

In 8 years (supposing the GOP isn’t allowed to destroy the little bit of democracy left), demographics will shift with Boomers dying and Millennials likely finally getting more political power (sorry Xers). Millennials and Zoomers trend significantly further left than Boomers, having been fucked over by wealth hoarders much of their lives. Running to the Right and punching Left isn’t likely to remain a good strategy.
