Considering this is because of action done under biden not following the law. but yea color man bad, lets kill the jews.

Considering that all these ruling that the progressive have been cheering about were kicked back by higher courts ruling in Trumps favor this is probably a well processed legal decision.

it was push through in october 24, so when the autopen-in-chief was going around doing whatever they could.

They're not replacing it with $0/hour AI, that shit is expensive. I doubt they're saving nearly as much in salary as they're claiming, and I'd be willing to bet they're getting far less value for that money than they were with actual humans. This is almost certainly an executive making some pretty wild claims so they can get a bonus and move on to another company before the investors figure it out.

It's like visual coding or RAD all over again. Whenever suits and PHBs are told there's a magic wand that'll allow them to do without paying people for the nitty-gritty bits, they get all excited and convince each other in their echo chamber that their dream of a company of all managers and no workers is just around the corner.

Then reality says "hi", the hype dies down, a few scam artists got rich and the world continues as it was, with a couple new cool tools in the toolbox of those who know how to use them correctly - which is generally the same people that were supposedly being replaced.

That's how I see AI. I've been writing software for the better part of 40 years. What I see from AI is sometimes astonishing and sometimes pathetic. I would never, ever, ever put AI generated code into production software without carefull checking and refactoring, and I would fire anyone who does.

Code completion is mostly in the "astonishing" part. If I write a couple lines of near-identical stuff, like assigning values from an input to a structured format for processing, the AI most of the time gets right the next line I want to write. Anything more complex than that is hit-and-miss.

Mostly, I use AI the way I would use an intern. "Can you look up how to use this function correctly? What are the parameters and their defaults?" or "Write me some code that's tedious to write (like lots of transformation operations) but not rocket science by far.
Essentially, it does faster and a little bit better what previously I'd have done with Google and Stackoverflow.

I have no fear it'll replace developers anytime soon. Half of the time the code is outright wrong, most of the time it has glaring security issues or isn't half as fault-tolerant as it should be, and for any case where I know how to do it without any research, I'd be faster writing the code myself then going through several iterations with an AI to get it done.

There wasn't anything directed at voters.

They pulled Kristi Neom away from killing puppies long enough to produce ads trying to sell the public on shipping immigrants to concentration camps, but they didn't do anything like that for this budget bill to encourage people to call their representatives.

They don't give a flying fuck about what the voters want.

They'll throw it away to keep someone else who is starving from having it, they don't even want it for themselves.

They just don't want *those* people to have any chance of getting some of it, even if it destroys the future crops for everyone including themselves.

I bought GTA V on release day for the 360, for $60. I also bought it for the PS4, for another $60. Then I bought it again for the PS5, this time it was like $40. So all in I've spent around $160 on this game. And I've played it for hours over the past decade plus. Same for GTA SA, GTA 4, multiple Zelda and Mario games. They're all $60 or so, maybe more in the future. But I get hundreds of hours of entertainment from that, at a minimum.

There's very few publishers that I will buy a game on release day from, but the ones I do that with haven't let me down yet. I don't just go randomly buy games without knowing anything about them, especially not from most publishers.

That is ridiculously cheap compared to taking my wife to a movie ($40 for tickets, another $30 on drinks and popcorn) for 2 hours of a movie that may or may not be any good.

They're going to start rolling ads in the corners during the show, just like they started doing on TV years ago.

The HP logo on the lid is the only warning I need to know to stay far away from. I've never seen an HP laptop that wasn't a complete POS within a year of it being built.

Diminished maybe, but not all that much.

I think we can reasonably assume that if there's a huge blackout, it won't last forever. A lot of smart people will work hard on getting things up and running again. A few years ago in the USA it lasted for a bit longer, what was it, a week or two? Recently in Spain it lasted a few days. But all those power stations and power grid operators don't just shrug and go home. So getting through those days is probably all it takes for any reasonably realistic scenario.

And you can build things up piecewise. I've got my solar now. The next thing will be a battery. Once I have that, I can think about an electric car.

It looks like this just started as some internal project between the two authors. Guessing that as they got it working they figured they could base a company on it. On iOS because they started development on it, and keeping it on mobile because that is the easiest way to sell with the various app stores.

If battery life is important to you, look at Garmin watches. Mine, when used as a smart watch, gets about 50 days of use on a single charge. Using it as a watch only it will last an infinite number of days without needing a charge.

Up until recently Garmin also had no subscription charge for any features on their watches, although they started dipping their toe into that realm a few months ago, so who knows how far they will try to take that. I'm happy with the features my watch cme with, and so far they haven't added anything new behind the subscription, and I'm hoping they keep it that way going forward.

But as far as battery life, you won't beat them.

I've recently started looking at my power consumption on a 15-minute graph, and it turns out that power usage isn't all that much less during the night. In fact, at times it is higher because all the lights are turned up. But even at night, there's the fridge and freezer, the house electronics, security cameras, etc.

Turns out the stuff I need for work - a notebook and an external screen - barely register.
