I think these people didn't realize that it's all recorded.

These are all things that can be adjusted for when going through the statistics, indeed the article points at several variables that are already accounted for.

Downtown San Jose has two casinos. Just cards, but that is legal gambling in California.

But this is not an example of state law overriding federal. The US Code statute defines:

Crack open a history book, pick any century in the last 5000 years, its not hard to find women who support a patriarchy, some did so quite zealously.

Once all media is subsumed by these systems, our cultural will be transformed into an efficient commercial monoculture. But out new masters were built and trained by Silicon Valley tech bros, and will continue from their values.

I remember the anti-drug ads where some shady drug dealer would approach an 8 year old to sell him or her some pills or a baggie of powder. And the kids would just say "NO!" and run away.

I often wondered how that could be a viable business model for a drug dealer. I mean little kids aren't really looking for drugs and they don't have much money.
But the clever tech bros figured it out. They figured out how to make a profit being a shady dude hooking kids on crack. It turns out it wasn't a problem with the image or ethics, it was simply the wrong product!

but ICE and troops hanging around poling stations and selectively harassing people

What's the problem?

If you're not a citizen, you aren't allowed to vote....why would you be anywhere near a polling station if not a citizen or worse....an illegal alien?

They should do another dozen of formal reviews, audits, and investigations at both the state and federal levels into the 2020 election. Maybe they will finally turn up something since you seem so convinced there is something there. Because your gut feeling in the matter is important!

When I lived in San Jose a big Mexican dude would look out for my house when I was at work and once beat up a porch pirate. Later I found out it was his cousin he beat up.

When the economy collapses, support systems collapse, then my recommendation for anyone who hasn't been able to get their family regular meals for days or weeks: find anyone with a nice house, Tesla, etc and take what you need to survive from them.

That said, I see nothing like the Occupy movement of 2011. People either don't know they are being screwed over and stolen from, or think that it doesn't matter if they protest it or not. We have far further to slide before any "VERY ugly" scenario plays out, given the average person's lackluster response so far. We as a people have an even greater capacity to silently suffer indignities than you may realize.

Surveillance protects us all. It is a keystone in keeping our nation safe and free. Think about how you never have a package stolen off your porch anymore. And how our bicycles are totally safe in San Francisco, no need to double lock and remove the seat anymore. And let us not forget that mass surveillance prevents terrible crimes like summary executions out at sea. And even prevented a pedophile and adjudicated rapist from being elected President. GOD BLESS THE USA!

LLMs are really bad at playing Simon Says.

If at first you don't succeed*, try try again.

* at overthrowing the current constitutional Republic based around centuries of democratic principles, and replacing it first with a unitary executive then using that authority to transform it into an autocratic executive system.

It's like a package manager for AI models, in a way. In Hugging Face's case it is more like a (Python) library to help you download and run models in your applications. Ollama overlaps a bit in functionality and you can use both, but Ollama is more self-contained and conceptually like nodeJS, perl CPAN or apt. It lets you download, install, and run models on their own. Then you can point your own tools at the installed models. The the tools that comes Ollama come with aren't much fun for interactive, but totally fine if you want to make a shell script that runs a prompt, but there are tons of interactive tools that work with both Ollama and HF if that's your jam.

I know what the Playdate is and who Panic are, but one sentence of context in an article is not too much to ask.
