That's like 90% of rural America though. I've lived in various rural areas and they were invariably majority very pro gun, at least in the south and western USA. Northeast is more of a hodge podge on 2nd amendment though, and you have to go deeper into rural areas for stronger support.
I don't know. If I ask an LLM something, I just want the facts. I don't care about social norms. I want the truth lol. I don't need it to take in my social wellbeing. That said I would never ask an LLM any therapeutic questions. I would ask it "give me a list of therapists who specialize in marriage counseling in the Chicago area" . I think trying to make LLMs socially conscious is a really really bad idea. It's going to really have bad bad effects on young people still figuring out people, and the very elderly who aren't quite aware of how it works or its fallacies, and that is likely to be universal across all cultures. Probably dumb people too, who think the machine is actually an emotional being.
Code? not much, other than small functions/classes/prototype libraries to get started, but I've often used it to figure out where code was that I was concerned with in huge project code bases and analyze where some of the edges of interfaces are without digging for a few hours. Copilot can give a decent summary of where to look in a couple of seconds instead of a half hour of marking what I think are important sections and jumping around/grepping
How does grading with AI help when the content is generated by AI? might as well just take humans out of the loop, but I don't think we're in a post scarcity society yet...
Then they should be flunked. It sucks but parents need to enforce real learning. Schools can't be the sole "responsible" entity here. This is not the instructor's fault and school admin needs to push back. We as a society need to push back otherwise it all falls apart. Not everyone can be a blue collar worker, and most of the BC workers I know tend to be decent at math at least in those items that are part of their work, which they certainly couldn't have picked up if they didn't at least know some basics arithmetic
This is why in person tests are given and bad grades as a result as part of the student feedback performance improvement loop. Maybe with AI as a new interloper we need to decrease "report card" times to 3 weeks (it was 9 weeks in my day) so that students have some shortened loop time with parental unit reviews to help straighten out issues before they become real problems.
I was dropped into one such system after it failed after like 20 years and learned forth on the fly while managers breathed down my neck lol. Not a fun experience, and it took about 3X as long as I thought it would take, so Forth is not my favorite language, but I do see why it was useful at the time, and as an exercise in a way of thinking about languages rather than the mode I usually operate in c/c++/rust/little javascript
There are only a limited number of browser engines out currently and lady bird adds another, hence diversity enhancement. Omarchy is +1 more distro out of thousands, hence while making the "market" a little bit more diverse it's not a huge double-digit percentage increase in viable browser engines. Pretty straight forward.
Any big lawyer group that would be willing to go up against meta will rip through 500k in 6 months or less and then wish you the best at the end of those few months of representing you.
Disney can fire people anytime they like if that person isn't meeting company/contractual obligations. What is illegal and that doesn't seem to matter to the current regime is that the FCC chair is saying that major media outlets better watch their step if he (read Trump) doesn't like what they're saying, or they will lose their licenses (implied). Similar things are going on with Pam Bondi going after critics of Trump rather than doing her sworn duty of following the law and upholding the Constitution.
None of that stands if one of the entities in a contract is breaking the law, and I'm guessing that colluding with China to break international human rights laws is not protected by a contract as it's illegal in the USA and likely illegal in the UK. If she falls under whistleblower laws it should protect her, that's evidently not happening.
that expression is carrying a lot of water these days. Although libel laws in England are pretty tyrannical in a different way than the current rise of fascism and attempts to use government to hush dissent against the Trump regime . The current FCC chairman and Pam Bondi are trying to silence critics of Trump, VP is saying that trans people speaking out should be committed to insane asylums
A basic reference for beginners or people looking at doing some simple parsing? Someone who wants a tiny code footprint for a small hobby project on a limited processor? Although in that case I would almost certainly use TOML or similar instead.
Everything they sell is related to ending privacy, promoting surveillance, and support of slow frog boil fascism to replace democracy in the west and as a means to enriching Thiel and the other owners of Palantir; how can you not single it out as Evil Corp? As least google and facebook aren't directly aimed at bringing fascism to the fore. They're mostly just doing what they can within their realms that causes general chaos without any concern about the social damage they do; Palantir is planned obsolescence of privacy and democracy
People like Thiel think it's the techno nobility that should run the world. There are more "evolved" and intelligent than the riff raff who aren't billionaires. It's really just neo-eugenics
I was, I was also seeing if the hackernews braintrust would freak out at AI much like reddit does, so it was sort of tongue-in-cheek experiment. And freak out they did.
This fee doesn't make any sense to be honest. It's another "simple solution" by the current regime. Just like tariffs and "illegal immigration bad" . It's insane what Americans will put up with. Everything's a nail when you have a sledgehammer I guess.
Still wondering where the $50k went. Also why isn't this the biggest story out this weekend? At least on left/center news sites. I can see conservative news outlets participating in a coverup.
It was bad under previous adminstrations. Expect it to become an order of magnitude worse under the current fascist regime with him treating FBI, etc as personal brown shirt army and not in their traditional roles
They also do their best to try and force you in a corner and get you to lie, since lying to them is a felony. Then they use that as leverage to scare you further.
yeah, it's fine on desktop but it's dog on my iphone 12. I prefer the look and UI over most modern websites though. If was using the products from webhog I'd probably enjoy navigating around and interacting more than most sites.
"THere are criminals though!" and "think of the children" are what will bring in full authoritarianism. People are afraid of their own shadows these and want to live a 100% secure life at ANY cost.
