Already 4 here, anywhere not on the coast is in a valley so the functional susnet is even earlier.

Not gonna get that far, other countries are holding less and less US debt as colateral which is unfortunately an even worse problem.

But the rights offer is practically openly ‘We want to make everything worse for everybody’ shouted with extreme enthusiasm for some reason.

Oh I mean with setup, like I can download ollama and a basic model fine enough and get a generic chat bot. But if I want something that can scan through PDFs with direct citation (like the Nvidia LLM) or play a character then suddenly its all git repositiories and cringey youtube tutorials.

I’ve been looking into local models lately, mostly out of vague paranoia that I should get one up and running before it becomes defacto illegal for normal people to own due to some kind of regulatory capture. Seems fairly doable at the moment though not particularly user friendly.

I’m NGL If my job put in the position to be the one testing nukes it would be very tempting to do so even without pay just on a ‘oonga boonga big boom’ basis. Unfortunately I’m educated enough to know how awful that is for the environment, also not a nuclear test engineer or whatever the job title even is.

Couldn’t you apply that logic to literally all animals including humans? Pain is just a sensation to make us respond to damage, the suffering part is entierly subjective and no one can be sure any of the other humans even are capable of it, we just assume its the case based on personal experience and empathy.

But is he actually particularly stand out at that or is he just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so? In another universe a lot of these people are deadend used car salesman types that no one takes seriously.

Do we know why yet? can I get odds on AI generated code being pushed without review?

I won’t hear a word against president camacho, guy was completely uneducated but actually pretty intelligent all things considered. Aknoweldged things were fucked but that he couldn’t fix them, created a national program to find someone who could and upon finding that person immediately put them in charge. Better leader than most in the western world right now.

The teflon is fine, you could eat it even, its the precursor chemicals which are harmful and the teflon will only break back down into those if you fuck up and heat the pan to nearly glowing.

Not in the US but I swear prices and inflation adjusted real wage just straight up never recovered since the 2008 crash, Sure ‘the economy’ has done better and even apparently had a few more crashes and recoveries but on the street its been continuous gradual downhill with little extra drops anytime something major happens.

Honestly still pretty bad (older map) Especially considering this is just high speed lines.

But Europe actually has a slightly larger land area than the united states? aproximately 3.9 million square miles as opposed to aproximately 3.5 million square miles.

Wasn’t there that incident of rich people paying to gun people down with sniper rifles in some war a few decades ago thats now being claimed to being repeated in palestine?

He’s definetaly got some kind of memory issue, I watched a live speech where he randomly skipped back to an earlier point in the speech mid-sentence without seeming to notice, twice. Creepy part was the reporters continuing to ask question like nothing weird was going on.

Yeh these numbers seem crazy high, I know precisely one homeowner and that was literally by inheritance from a random uncle they’d never heard of before.

I suppose similar in the sense that the housing bubble involved a bunch of rich idiots speculating on bad debt that had been vaguely washed to make it look good and now we have a bunch of rich idiots speculating on AI based on vague promises that it’ll be good.

That’s the great thing about the latest update, you can genuinely stay in your corner and be peaceful and when that criminal syndicate on the other side of the galaxy wrongs you, you can just infiltrate the governments of the empires with the strongest militaries to goad them into a proxy war against that criminal syndicate.

Though as someone chronically bad at being evil in stellaris I usually end up just using it to make everyone focuse the crisis aspirants before they can snowball.

I think part of the issue is that people on the left also tend to see nuances, which means more things to disagree over. Left falls out, right falls in line and all.
