These have 16 GB memory and 512 GB storage. That's plenty for a large portion of the market.

While this is accurate, it's not plenty for people who want to run LLMs, 16GB is totally inadequate for that since you have to run your OS and apps in that as well. Apple is advertising this hardware at being great for LLMs, but they don't offer enough memory to where you need hardware that could be that fast at running LLMs if only you had enough RAM to load them.

It amazes me how few people on the right understand what's happening.

Nothing is less surprising than Reich wingers not understanding 1) that they are promoting fascism, i.e. they are fascists or 2) fascism is bad even when it's in America, not only when it's in Italy.

this all comes down to Biden, Garland and the DOJ being cowards

Cowards or complicit.

Democrats talk a good game but then vote for corporate interests and the MIC in almost every case. It's easy to believe that they were unwilling to do anything that would bring real substantive change. Biden is responsible for the student loan crisis since he led the charge to prevent We The People from being able to discharge those debts through bankruptcy like you can gambling debts, then he campaigned on student loan forgiveness and delivered it for a tiny fraction of student loan holders, and went around congress to fund genocide in Gaza but not to forgive student loans.

It's not cowardice. They deliberately chose not to rock the boat that brings them money. They aren't just cowards, they are traitors as surely as Donald Drumpf himself.

It was that way here until the oil crisis, which shrank cars for a while. Now they are inflated again, but as things are getting crappier here, smaller vehicles are returning. If you have lots of space and fuel is cheap, larger vehicles are lovely. If neither thing is true, they are just more trouble and expense than they are worth.

Vehicles being higher up has little influence on how far their headlights cast, especially given safe following distances they are the least relevant thing. They are just commonly poorly aimed. I thought Europe had inspections for that kind of thing, though? In the US we theoretically do, but I see misaimed headlights constantly.

Technology is the answer, though. I don't plan to learn another script, though I might learn another language. But why should anyone have to? Computers are actually good at recognizing text and doing translations now. That's two legit uses for "AI" that have actually come true. For example I've successfully OCR'd Chinese documentation and translated it and had it not come out in broken English. This really makes one wonder why anyone is still doing bad documentation and ads, but I do still see them regularly. So weird.
