Comment One state (Score 1) 20

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:

(1) âoeillegal gambling businessâ means a gambling business whichâ"
(i) is a violation of the law of a State or political subdivision in which it is conducted;

Comment I remember anti-drug ads in the 80's (Score 5, Interesting) 29

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!

I suspect you were just asked to be nice, and through a combination of spectrum OCD and insufficient cognitive therapy, you decided somehow you were being asked to do something wrong.

So you helped elect an ignorant sociopath. Congrats on that. Maybe you should have attended more of those cognitive therapy sessions.

They're only trying to ensure only valid votes are counted so something like 2020 isn't allowed to happen again.

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!

Comment collapse of the social contract (Score 1) 39

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.

Comment The benefits of the surveillance state (Score 2, Funny) 60

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!

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.
