If you maintain public goods for the good of the public you have a lot less crime. It's precisely because there is such extreme wealth that is not paying to maintain the public goods that we have the crime.

The people destroying the stuff are doing that because they have been robbed of a place in society and their futures have been foreclosed to them.

Building hostile anti-human infrastructure, housing that costs 60 hours a week to live in, and unaffordable food that the government subsidizes to make MORE expensive are all not so subtle ways to tell these people that society does not value them.

At what point during the shrink does the packaging cost more than the single serving of potatoe chip fumes?

That would be a good protest sticker to add as an amendment. Just the words "to stop the slaughter"

Prices only go up. If a price is allowed to fall then the gravy train stops and the owner class gets really salty.

That is when your brain stops really growing and developing, it's not some threshold of social or intellectual maturity.

If anything, people become less adaptable, less open-minded, and less cooperative after that. It's not something we get to lord over young people, it's a mark against us olds for being less capable of growth.

It's the same universe though, and the studios mostly collaborate on the overarching story.

I think the big team up event is going to be a big disappointment though. Too many characters to follow all the storylines, and you have to watch the shows too if you really want to keep up.

The whole thing doesn't seem very inviting to new audiences.

It's not a war until the other side is able to fight back.

Palworld and craftopia seem to be the same framework so it I'm guessing they are gonna use some of the dump truck full money they got from palworld to contine their development process.

If this were a finished Palworld, it's already more game than most AAA releases, and more stable at that. If anything, calling Palworld a beta at this point seems like they are trying to raise the bar for release quality in general.

You mean do it manually, like a caveman? No I want to involve servos, circuits and microprocessors in this!

My bosses tried to ask me if I knew anyone the could hire for a full time position at a hospital. I ask for more details and eventually they relent because they aren't having any luck on indeed/craigslist/temp recruiter.

It's a 24 hour on call position for 'up to' $55,000 to be the sole IT staff for a 100 bed hospital in upstate NY.

I literally laughed at them, but they seem to insist they are gonna find someone to take the job.

I actually think the job isn't even legal as described.

The cool ones died or retired. What we have left are the cowards, hall monitors and people so boring that even though they can afford to retire they wouldn't know what to do with themselves so they keep working, keep being in charge, keep shitting up everything.

It depends on what kind of RAM you're getting.

You could get Dell R720 with two processors and 128 gigs of RAM for $500 right now on eBay, but it's going to be several generations old.

I'm not saying that the model is taking up astronomical amounts of space, but it doesn't have to store movies or even high resolution images. It is also not being expected to know every reference, just the most popular ones.

I have 120tb storage server in the basement. So the footprint of this learning model is not particularly massive by comparison, but It does contain this specific whole joker image. It's not something that could have been generated without the original to draw from.

In order to build a bigger model they would need not necessarily just more storage but actually a new way of having more and faster RAM connected to lower latency storage. LLMs are the kinds of software that become hard to subdivide to be distributed across purpose-built arrays of hardware.

I love this meme so much I sent it to everybody, especially the people that witnessed me fall on my face when trying to open one of these doors as I ripped it off its hinge* (yeah just the one load-bearing hinge for the whole door)

We have these for doors and windows on our house, And we cannot find a company to repair them. They have so many moving parts in them that they gradually break down and eventually completely fall apart.

The locking mechanism on one of the doors is a knob that pulls on some wires inside the door to open the various latches so you can choose which opening mode you're using. If you don't use it for a while it can get stuck and snap, making the door unable to open unless you completely disassemble it.

One of the doors, The tilt and turn hinge at the top got loose And eventually when opening the door completely snapped off and I fell inside onto the door.

The only one that currently works isn't long for this world. Since The hinge at the top is also loose on this one and so is the handle even though all of the screws are as tight as can be.

Granted the ones in our house are like 15 years old, but the ones on the main house were replaced 5 years ago because these things just have too many moving parts And when any of them break the whole thing has to be completely disassembled. The worst part is that to disassemble the door it has to be out of the frame, and the most common thing I've seen break on these is the thing that's supposed to turn the latch.

It's actually a pretty good metaphor. People sitting on the left side and the right side of the plane are actually taking a seat whereas people sitting in the aisle are just in the fucking way.

Chat GPT it's over 500 gigs of training data plus over 300 gigs of RAM, and Sam Altman has been quite adamant about how another order of magnitude worth of storage capacity is needed in order to advance the tech.

I'm not convinced that these are compressed much at all. I would bet this image in its entirety is actually stored in there someplace albeit in an exploded format.

There was a strip mall in Indianapolis a couple miles from my house that had the best cheap Russian restaurant, Ethiopian restaurant, and a Thai restaurant run by my friends uncle. Just down the street from that there is a make your own spring roll option at a Vietnamese salad bar.

Really there's tons of great ethnic food all over the place but if you are in a tiny town in the Midwest you'll Just have fewer options.

To be fair, he didn't win his first election by getting the most votes, and neither did Trump.

The Republicans realized during the Reagan administration that they would soon be unable to win the presidency with a majority of votes and took many steps to undermine the Democratic process. Voter suppression, purges, intimidation, voter ID laws, all of that began with Reagan.

Bush the elder was the last to win a "democratic" victory. If it weren't for 9/11, Bush wouldn't have been able to win his second election either. That fact always blows my mind. Like people rallied around the incompetent fool who managed to ignore warnings and let a terrorist strike happen only to then go on and invade the wrong country multiple times and spend trillions of dollars on nothing.

When you come to the fork in the road, take it.

The articles are the citations. Articles themselves don't typically have citations like Wikipedia. That's not actually how journalism works.

It's starting to look like you don't understand how any of this works.
