If you want to "expose the far left" don't make yourself look stupid by complaining about things that are not "far left" in any way what so ever. In your last paragraph you seem to be sort of getting it. The quoted things are to appeal to intellectuals, as they would make the government more representative of the people and reduce the power of extremists. They are not "marxism" and I think that point will become painfully clear if they become the extremists, they will then pretend they never heard of such ideas.

Use the really dumb "defund the police" slogan (which if taken literally means there would not be any law enforcement). Don't make yourself look like an imbecile by claiming all kinds of random things they say are "marxism".

Just tried this and I'm not getting ads when asking for directions. Maybe I'm lucky?

I think you are right I just subconsciously ignore those. What I usually do with maps is click on the little indicators in the maps, this seems to show the one I clicked on without any "sponsored". So far that (and directly searching for a place by name) has not introduced a "sponsored" result. Hopefully Apple is doing the same.

Circumpolar launches of starlink are done from Vandenberg. It also has a big ocean south of it.

Holy crap you are showing the desperation of somebody who is losing their argument.

Yes the DSA talks about ranked choice voting and increasing the size of the house and the Supreme Court and reducing the senate's power and so on. But these are all so moderates and proportional representation have a chance. It is not "marxist" in any way whatsoever, in fact it is the opposite.

I do fear the DSA, if the win, and feel they will still be preferred over extreme-right candidates, will suddenly have amnesia and forget all these promises (since they still help moderates, who would win over the extreme left just like they would win over the extreme right). But you are a fool to say these ideas are "marxist".

Google Maps is *not* putting ads into search results so at least for now Apple is doing worse.

I wrote a compiler for an ObjC-like language (with less brackets), which can produce binaries for any of {Mac, Windows, Linux, WASM, Arm A9 (Zynq), m68k or 6502} running on any of {Mac, Windows, Linux}. So you can produce a dev-signed Mac binary on a Linux box. I’m just going through extending that output range to mobile {Android, iOS} and I’ll release it as open source.

The compiler docs for the language (xc) are at https://compile-xc.org/ - feel free to browse.

I didn’t think getting the signing working for Mac/iOS was terribly hard.

Hmm, my main reason to replace a phone is usually a worn out usb-c port. I am not sure how one goes about replacing that on a regular phone without some serious soldering kung-fu.
Not saying Fairphone is the solution (6+ apparently does not support USB-C video output or DisplayPort Alt Mode so it is useless junk to me, personally) but being able to easily replace a usb port would be a nice feature.

Funny you write that. I was also acing in high school. Then I went to university at a top notch school, and my first physics mid term resulted in the grade... 33%. Yupe that's what it was. My friends had like 42, and 25. One friend looked at me and said, "it hurts doesn't it..." Yeah it did.

What I learned is that I might have been smart in high school, but there are some really smart people in a top notch university. Like seriously smart. It motivated me to work at it and I passed. In fact in the second semester I was doing rather well again. It required me to work. My friends on the other hand decided to move out of engineering. One became a male nurse (he actually was well suited for that), and the other became a remote sensing specialist. He explained it to me back in the early 90's as using satellites to do geography. The irony with that one is that it is now an amazing profession.

What I am writing is that in the end we all learned to deal with it and assess what we really wanted to do. I don't think the vibe approach will work out.

Domestic panels will get more expensive, too, as they are made from polysilicon.

Yes all the time. Using a Tablo DVR

Why isn't there a second independent AI that examines the main AI's output, and decides if it should be censored or not. If it thinks so, the answer is not delivered.

Since the second one is only looking at the first AI's output it seems like it would be difficult or impossible to fool it, especially if it's window is very short (like only the current message).

I assume there is some reason this does not work. Any explanations?

Those are visible harassment campaigns (and visible on purpose to scare others). He was wondering about ones people don't know about, secret and/or unreported harassment campaigns.

I think they feel it would be more like humans communicate. But humans invented blackboards and certainly found them useful to improve communication.

Facebook is not in chronological order.
