Disappointed to find out there is still a Sackler wing from this game
It's been confirmed in the recent LG scandal.
We've already established you do not read
You didn't read the article, this thread is pointless
An article that is the exact opposite of an announcement they've had their worst day on the market in over fifty years is far more specific than "Trust me it worked"
I think you are presenting this as true, but all the evidence points to the bailout as having no effect. You aren't presenting any counter evidence other than just saying it worked and to wait.
So the bailout was a complete waste of money? Why couldn't they have done the work before and we just waited?
Cellular on my first iPad felt like such a waste of money. Every time I needed Internet I had Wi-Fi or my phone became a hot spot
Both sides argument are springing up like weeds all over the various forums in the last couple weeks before a predicted major shift in Congress.
If you have deeply unpopular policies but only 1/3rd of the country is expected to vote, telling everyone their vote won't matter is the best stance to take.
The Orville show explores this idea, before LLMs became a thing. Simulators become the replacement for movies, but the simulations are still designed by a person (or alien).
The concept feels more like a video game than a movie in the show, but presumably you could program the simulation to happen around you instead of you moving through it.
So to fix the system, people should throw up their hands, not vote and just complain about it in the comments instead?
I'll vote in primaries for the candidate that most represents my views and continue to not let perfect be the enemy of good on election day. Lip service and small improvement officials are always much better than officials that negatively target me or my community.
There are people alive today who lived under Jim Crow laws. Is there any argument you would like to make that getting rid of them and enacting the other associated legislation in the 60s was not an advancement?
State an actual solution, you're just making a covert both sides argument under the guise of a longer rant.
I love the both siding argument springing up right before election day.
All of the pizza chains from my youth A/B tested their ingredients into a weird hill climbing problem. They are all worse tasting and more expensive but despite tasting very differently they are basically equal in how good they taste. You can't really say one is better than the other but they are definitely all worse than they were before.
This is probably possible now. Back when machine learning was all the rage people were using it to identify authors of various anonymous works. It became an introductory project to identify the Federalist Papers authors. Just read in some works, identify patterns, set up tests, and set the LLM into a loop testing whether the output would be predicted to be the author you are trying to impersonate.

Why is that so much of a hassle? In the US switching banks is just updating some numbers and reconnecting. The entire process can just be done online. In the US the only annoying part can be older companies that still do the account verification via a deposit and withdrawal, so it takes one whole day instead.
Also I don't think I would actually want it done automatically. Some banks have better saving rates, some banks offer higher interest on checking, some banks are much better for taking cash out internationally, some banks have more ATMs/branches around where I live, etc. I have a few different banks I move money around in.
It's a lot easier for me to vote for someone with better policies than it is for me to get the CEO of a utility company fired.
There are dozens of articles you can Google where the host doesn't even try to hide it
Which specific interview are you referring to where a person couldn't articulate a response to a very simple question?
Firefighting in a large city versus a small town I assume are different, but the firefighters I know would never describe themselves as bored. They get paid to spend the majority of their time hanging out with friends, barbecuing, working on their cars, enjoying life, etc for the occasional hugely important and often terrifying life saving firefighting work.
They deploy more often than when I was a kid for EMT type work in place of or as first responder for ambulances. But, none of them would ever describe their day to day as boring.
Did George Washington actually partake in the hobby or did he make his slaves do it like his famous barbecues until he died because he knew it was wrong?
Washington as an unquestioned justification for anything should never be the argument.
Your view of the DMV is outdated. There's been work put in around the country to modernize the system. I remember the hour long wait, but online reservations have made my last few visits in recent years take about 15-20 minutes
Java continues to try and catch up to Kotlin
https://kotlinlang.org/docs/sealed-classes.htmlI didn't mind Java when the comparisons were to C++, Ruby, and Python. I can not find a reason to go back after Scala (which seemed to fail due to being indiscriminate) and especially Kotlin
The administration wants to look tough on the "wrong" skin color
My experience with this is that all of the projects that are worthwhile, continue to grow and then at some point some kind of bottleneck is hit. Migrations become slow or overly complicated, lookups start taking forever, etc and the app just starts to slowly become unusable the more you try to use it.
You end up in a situation where you are following some complex guide (hopefully written by the actual developer) where you make a huge backup, have to tear everything down, and then hope the migration from SQLite or MariaDB doesn't hit any issues. Postgres is heavier but at the scales of self hosting it should not matter on any modern system. Multiple docker containers even on a Pi isn't something you have to worry about. Solutions like Immich are usually run on a NAS where there would never be an issue
