Better but still pretty bad, in that case can only hope the software/trading ecosystems for p2p improve enough to be more generally viable and that once that happens there won't be reactive legislation to stamp it out.

Because of inflation, it's not going to stay 3k. All rules of this type have fixed amounts that never get updated and every year encompass more transactions.

Supposedly this legislation also bans anonymous cryptocurrency.

3090s are ideal because the most important factor is vram, and those are at the top of the plateau for vram until you get into absurdly expensive server hardware. Expect around 3 seconds for generating a 512x512 image or 4 words per second generating text at around GPT 3.5 quality.

Just put a chair cover over it

Why do you need special qualifications to work for Door Dash lol

Not even

It is a carnivorous rodent, dining on insects (such as grasshoppers), worms, spiders, centipedes, mantis, scorpions, snakes, and even other mice.

The southern grasshopper mouse has around a 3.5 to 5.0 inches (8.9–12.7 cm) long body

[Least weasel] Average body length in males is 130 to 260 mm (5 to 10 in), while females average 114 to 204 mm (4.5 to 8.0 in)

IMO being opposed to civil war in the US and taking that seriously is a legitimate position.

Youtube's actual website usually doesn't even work for me anymore. The page takes a really long time to load and often gets stuck and doesn't load at all.

Everyone moving to open protocols and companies like Reddit, Twitter, Meta going bankrupt

Being addicted to the internet

AI has honestly made me a much more powerful Linux user

What gets me about this is that, while it would still be bad, they could have mostly avoided the privacy nightmare here with some kind of Zero Knowledge Proof scheme, but the tracking is obviously part of the point.

The project's authors also acknowledged that most of the proposals would require the Republican Party to control both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.

In July 2024, Trump disavowed Project 2025.

There's also how the Supreme Court recently made a ruling that limits the ability of federal agencies to legally act without more explicit direction from congress, and gives courts more ability to scrutinize their actions.

This plan would represent a terrifying slide into totalitarianism and is something we should take steps to avoid, but I think there's a lot going against it and reasons to be hopeful that it will fail.

To me the most obvious tell is, these costumes would be a lot of work, seems like intricate body makeup, and coordinated between five people. And then they're somewhat anonymous and the cops have to ask on Facebook about them, instead of aggressively trying to put out viral videos of themselves doing this? There is no way.

The main uses for AI in game development aren't generating things on the fly for players anyway, it's helping artists and coders do their work faster.

Explicit types are just laziness, you should be catching exceptions anyways.

A while ago I read the book Swarmwise by Rick Falkvinge about the process of starting a political movement in Sweden, and some aspects of how their democracy works seemed comparatively impressive to me, and better capable of genuine representation because the barriers to getting started are not so insurmountable. Still, I'm not convinced overall of the narrative of changes to the structure of government being generally positive. You used a technology metaphor, but it's been a clear trend for tech platforms to actually become worse over time in terms of user agency, privacy and exploitation, something that to me seems mirrored in government. A lot of what people see as solutions to problems take the form of an increase in centralized control and a weakening of barriers to that control, and I see those barriers as the ideological core of how the US was originally designed to work. A specific law might be shown to have positive results in itself, but be achieved by an unsafe concentrating of power. In particular, I think the way the executive branch has been expanding over the last century is very concerning especially with stuff like the Patriot Act and everything associated with it.

Basically, especially right now it's clear that a lot of the people in power are malevolently insane, incompetent and demented, and it's really important that we maintain and improve protections to keep them from doing too much damage, so I am skeptical about ideas for major reform especially when the idea is to take the shortest path to policy goals.

Can you give any specific examples

The police believe that the motive behind this hacking was to reduce network-related costs, as torrent transfers can be costly for internet service providers. KT, however, claims that it was merely trying to manage traffic on its network to ensure a smooth user experience.

Sounds like they admit it but object to the negative tone lol
