Why would people stop asking new questions? Either LLMs have answers for everything, or they don't and people will ask questions somewhere else. You can't have it both ways.

SO isn't the last place on the internet to find an audience that might have an answer to a question you can't get answered any other way. If LLMs answer ENOUGH questions where the profitability of running a dedicated Q&A site is impossible, people will ask hard questions on special interest sites, blog comments, GitHub, slack, discord, Reddit, etc. Even the least searchable of those eventually surface in some bro's blog, which is then index by search engines and LLM training data.

All that does is hurt classic search and help LLMs.

This is not hard. What do you do when Google doesn't get you what you need. How does Google get more accurate if everybody just googles stuff.

You go to official documentation pages, to official user community forums, and then to unofficial community sites like SO, github, reddit, slack, discord, etc. Future accuracy will depend on availability of those sources, same problem search engines have today. Something might be provided on an unindexed corporate slack channel, then it migrates to some blog. Because people will not stop self promoting their ability to find stupid things and blog about it.

Centralized Q&A content will eventually migrate from dedicated sites to general purpose ones probably, or to more diverse special interest sites. We've seen this cycle of Q&A sites flaring up and petering out a hundred times already, it's not new. Walk through this with me, you find an obscure Perl problem something new with something old doesn't work. AI doesn't have an answer. Google doesn't have an answers. ZOMFG, stackoverflow is no more! Where do you go next??11! So all of those options for finding a community and posing questions are out there, and the future accuracy of AI and search both depend on access to them. But don't act like you're totally helpless with no place to go.

Soon they'll make their vehicles so you can use two or more charging stations. In 1999, I told Carnegie Mellon world Lithium Ion Cars were the future, students laughed at me, professors said I was wrong and wouldn't look at my 3 lines of equations.

Hello, I'm part of the reason Tencent was declared a CCP military asset in Jan 2025.
I'm known as one of the top video gamers in human history, many call me #1, proof at Crystalfighter.com I discovered something in League of Legends known as POLITICAL CENSORSHIP QUEUE. China gives you all bad allies if you aren't all for their politics.
Don't laugh, it's scientifically proven by many... 8000 games, 80% bad allies, should be close to 15% or 30%... Other people with 3000+ games like this.
RIot even has a patent known as BEHAVIORAL BASED MATCHMAKING... It's just like the 1960s Soviet Olympic cheating scandals again.

Hybrids will average 40, 50, 60 whatever mpg, which is great, but a plugin hybrid's larger battery doesn't turn it into an electric car. The combined power of the car is from all motors, and you're not going to like driving an SUV 38 miles on half or a quarter its total power output, whatever the configuration is. If you don't want to waste gas, you just go easy on the throttle and the car will use only the power output you need from any combination of the motors.

I think where a plugin hybrid makes more sense is when you have longer commutes, and lots of constant speed driving. Where you'd put an older standard in overdrive. That's where a regular hybrid will eventually use all its battery up and cycle back and forth between gas + charging the battery and short periods of battery only. A hybrid might drop from 55 to 50, and a plugin hybrid on the same trip might start averaging better 55 to 60+, something like that. Every hybrid is different though, a 400 HP combined, split 50/50 might be OK electric only, but a 200HP combined SUV or a 100ish car ehhh.. no, expect the combined MPG rating +/- depending on how you drive, the MPGe on those is marketing.

Confucius say, bathroom can be cleanest room in house, it still has all your shit

Except there wasn't a coup, and there isn't an occupation. The same party is running the country, and the VP took over. It's like a hostage situation now.

I'm not sure how anybody believes economic cooperation can follow. If the same had happened in Ukraine they'd be fighting for sovereignty under a different leader because kidnapping the Ukrainian president isn't going to coerce the rest of the country into favorable trade terms with Russia or make it cease looking for a defense compact elsewhere, and it's asinine to think so.

The most likely goal is coercing Venezuela into accepting deportees en masse. It's an administration goal and it's a realistic objective you could hope to achieve without actually going through the effort of occupying and taking control of the country.

You have some things really mixed up. China's export restrictions (in response to the earlier tariffs) did that. It was all over Fox News because Trump responded with 100% tariffs and then they both backed down. That's how big a deal access to them is. It's not so much that we want rare earth processing here, it's dirty and doesn't make much money, it's that we don't want it all from China. Rare earth processing investments are a big part of our trade deals with other countries.

They're raw materials used in manufacturing electronics. We need them because we require some stuff to be made here, like for defense or auto components, etc. I'm not sure how jacking the price of the raw materials helps anything, the stuff we pay more for already because we make them here, or the electronics manufacturing you'd actually hope to bring here. Buying cheap TVs and monitors from Korea is a good deal, not Chinese propaganda, you retard.

Then why are you so miserable when those yuppies from California bought up all the housing inventory and made your property taxes go up? You couldn't get your driveway paved because all the crews were busy on bigger projects? Cost of lumber went up too much to finish your deck because out of state assholes bought all the new home construction?

Ooooooh, ok, "that's different(TM)", that's not rich people existing. That's rich people ... spending money? Rich people spending money they didn't have before that you got none of??!1roflmao67pwned

That's what increasing wealth disparity looks like. It's ok buddy, you can call it inflation, it's like a special inflation that increases the dollars you spend but not the dollars you make... lol

Meanwhile $150,000 is the new $100,000, but your $30,000 is still $30,000? ahh shucks. But hey your needs are still being met right, then stfu.

For the record, I actually have a lot of empathy for people of all economic means. If I didn't care, I wouldn't take the time to repeatedly explain that if inflation makes your expenses go up, but not your pay, the wealth gap just increased. That's not just inflation. It does you no good to fight over what to call it, it's the same thing. TFS says as much FFS you morons. It says inequality exacerbates the effects of inflation. It doesn't matter which one you point the finger at or what you call it.

Here's the fun thing with pie analogies. How are you slicing it?

If the purchasing power in the rich people slice is reduced 10%, they buy fewer vacation homes. If the purchasing power of the poor people slice is reduced, they are fucked in the ass dry.

What's the dry end of a pie you certainly must be asking yourself. That's the crust. So we cut the pie in concentric rings from the inside out. Warm gooey center upper class, firm tasty middle, then you have the end of pie, the crust.

The total pie growing fast enough has nothing to do with it. It can grow, it can shrink. The only thing that matters is how many people you're feeding crust to.

So yah, when that, particular, slice isn't growing, those people get really upset about how the pie is cut, maybe because everyone else just unsubs from a streaming service while they make harder choices. And then you blame them for not helping to grow your pie. How's that work?

I'm not sure where you're trying to go with this. If you put a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage, in urban Moscow, but you still have the Holodomor in rural Ukraine, are you saying that's an improvement??

Wait a fucking minute, was Stalin, was Moscow starving? Or was that Ukrainian farmers, rural peasants.

How is equality the bad guy in this story, cause if Stalin was hungry I bet some fucking policy might have changed. Do you even think this stuff through?

The "meta-study" shifts the blame to inflation.

If you make the same money but people around you pull in more and more... what happens, your prices go up, duh.

So when young rich AI-boomers from out of state start buying up homes around you old retired conservatives out in the boonies, we're going to calmly say don't believe your lying eyes gramps, that's not increasing wealth inequality, it's just inflation that somehow excluded your income. Think that one through a bit.

REAL ID was passed by a Republican Congress under Bush, and probably most importantly implemented in Alabama in 2016 by ... *checks notes* ... all Republicans.

So, suck on that.

It's not even that. Under this administration, the government is (re)arresting US citizens and using REAL ID, the thoroughly Republican legislative effort, as an excuse for fucking up. There's likely nothing wrong with REAL ID itself, just with the government arresting brown people and making excuses about authenticity of their papers afterwards. Par for the course for Trump, fuck up and blame the government he's responsible for.
