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.

Vote Prison 2026 and 2028.

It's a unicode emoji

But I often confuse it with a Facehugger from Alien. Sadly, no emoji for that.

Skyrocketing in the stock market over the last 10 years, they took their money and started investing or buying their own customer base. It's bit of an incestuous relationship and it makes it difficult to cleanly analyze their long-term value. It's no longer a simple formula of company A produces product or service X, and they get revenue because companies B-Z are buying those products. Now it's like A makes X, and B-Z buy X, and A owns some or part of each of B-Z. So how much is A paying themselves and how much is actual growth?

My headphones from 2002 says "digital" on them. They're pure analog headphones, the Sony MDR-V6, which are just budget monitors.

Slashdotters are more likely to be replaced or otherwise lose their jobs because of AI. Bill Gates is safe.

Why are we attacking regular folks just trying to raise their children in this increasingly complex and often dystopian-feeling world?

At what point did you decide that it was time to deflect attacks away from a trillion dollar industry and the billionaires that command it, and towards some random person on the Internet trying to raise his/her kids ?

I'm waiting for Amazon Day to buy pitchforks and torches.
