This article seems to assert as fact what is merely speculation. There is ample evidence to show external access to voting machines throughout the country and anomalous statistical outcomes during the 2020 election. The fact our court system is completely controlled by Bar Association members who lean 80% toward the party that "won" the election, doesn't detract from the fact evidence exists even if courts refuse to allow for actual cases due to prejudicial dismissal.

The term, "out of an abundance of caution" for me is now immediately translated into, "as a way to cover our incompetent asses". Hope people stop using this propaganda slogan that surfaced during Covid. Frankly, articles like this and the people who post them are the reason our democracy is being torn into swiss cheese at the alter of 'us vs. them'. Our infrastructure and liberty are under attack and all these folks can do is make it about Trump.

How is that not fruit from the poisoned tree? If the initial charge is bunk, all subsequent charges must be by default since the origin of the conflict was unjust. Which means, if a cop hits you with "resisting arrest" when the initial offense isn't worthy of arrest, then hitting that cop square in the face should not be punishable by law.

If cops can't be sued for their actions due to qualified immunity, then they should absolutely fear the response of people unjustly detained. This American cop carte blanche is going to fucking stop.

So what's the penalty for not moving back 25 feet? Death? Seems like officers in the USA have carte blanche to just shoot the crap out of anyone not complying with their 'lawful' orders - whatever the hell lawful means these days.

The US Government doesn't give a damn about safety, the individuals who pass these laws have money at stake. Hence the financial windfalls that come to all the Reps in the House that just happen to sit on specific committees that oversee certain agencies which promulgate rules which have no real basis in law, but sure help them make money off building barriers to entry and functional mono/duopolies.

It's long past time for peaceful revolution.

Not sure how anyone is getting a response. This thing doesn't return anything.

politics is inherently manipulative what i said is still true even if what you say is too

politics is community cancer

"Thank you, Copilot!" That should be it's slogan. It's helpful to watch stuff like this to see how others put together code, how they think about the tasks they are competing, how they confront errors and how their environment is set up.

This is neat. Well focused and explained. I'd love to see what others rate these projects given their own experience.

My experience with how corporations use data indicates capitalism is one giant sunk cost fallacy.

>I trust a technical Fed report >As a formal central bank economist

So you trust in what you already have faith in? That's not a source that inspires confidence in our discourse.

>That report is half speculation about the future ("looks set to end soon, >with excess household savings likely to be depleted by year-end")

As other pointed out in this thread this data suggests differently. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PSAVERT All trends are speculations about the future. From your own report: "By this metric, in the 2022 survey, 82 percent of families in the top decile of the usual income distribution saved, compared with 66 percent of families in the upper-middle segment and 43 percent of families in the bottom half. Between 2019 and 2022, the overall fraction of families that saved edged down from 59 percent to 56 percent, with decreased saving observed among all three segments."

So savings spiked then disappeared at the same time all these positive numbers on assets began to surface. How interesting.

Yet, "Among families in the bottom quartile, median net worth was $400 in 2019 and $3,500 in 2022, and *mean net worth was negative $15,700 in 2019 and negative $5,300 in 2022.* Among families in the top decile, median net worth was $3,012,500 in 2019 and $3,794,600 in 2022, and mean net worth was $6,641,800 in 2019 and $7,810,500 in 2022."

In addition to, "Younger people – those below the age of 35 – are far more likely to rent than are other age groups: About two-thirds (65.9%) of this age group lives in rentals. This compares with, for example, 42% of those ages 35 to 44, and less than a third (31.5%) of 45- to 54-year-olds." (https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2021/08/02/as-nation...)

So the growth in assets from homeownership doesn't make sense for a large majority of the population; but, for those who rent the increase in personal savings makes a ton of sense given the CDCs moratorium. The increase in upper class wealth makes sense as many bought additional homes; which fits with the ever increasing prices in homes. The decrease in savings and the rising cost of borrowing would indicate trouble ahead. The confidence gained from well manufactured data is fleeting.

Cite a source that doesn't have a conflict of interest. Inflated home prices and surging used vehicle markets makes for positive data, but not reality.

If you create a painting someone else reproduces instantly with ease then it would imply the quality was not high enough to command the price. If incentive falls then supply would fall and either find a new equilibrium price or demand would remain and prices would rise.

Seems more like quality would matter. Hard copies would matter; perhaps the disc you issue your media on is rated to last 100 years, whereas someone's digital copy can be deleted with a keystroke.

Copyright is bullshit in a market of perfect reproducibility.

>The paper itself describes the possibility that aspects of the online learning ability (the ability to integrate new data as it is received without the costly requirement of retraining) could be implemented in a fully analog system through a cross-point array of resistors, instead of applying a digitally-bound algorithm. So both theoretical and materials design space still covers a number of potential, future exploration venues.

That is very cool. Feels like a nuevo tape drive for neural networks.

Define net worth; the vast majority of people live paycheck to paycheck, can't cover a $1000 emergency, and don't actually own the assets they utilize.

Perhaps history keeps repeating itself because we keep using cyclical tracking methods for time.

Copyright is new age nonsense that denies the chain of influence and inspiration that exists between all people. If you can create something sell it. If it can be easily recreated (or stored digitally) then it isn't yours.

Bits are not a bug.

There aren't a lot of options for them. Their best bet is to lend me $1B so I can conquer the world. Obvious choice.

How many more things that you get made fun of for doing are actually the best things you could be doing?

>Once we're all effectively immortal

This is the lie sold to every generation's wealthy and powerful. The idea that our tech now is better than before and we're all going to live forever.

I don't disagree that health data should be public, but so should all medical procedures and prescriptions. They should be covered by single-payer, too. That way no one has to worry about their ailments, but are also accountable to everyone else for the services they use and demand.

The idea we're going to live a lot longer than other generations is a common one among those beginning to lose their youth who spend too much time in the science-will-save-us narrative.

The US Army Corps of Engineers no longer accepts cash for campsites they manage. The US Government no longer accepts its own currency. That's where we are in the USA at least.

Someone needs to start building the Linux of spaceships now if we're ever going to have one. In terms of AI, the difference is that advances in AI can self adapt new advances. So the question is, at what point do you invest in AI given we haven't reached that stage yet - because by then you'll have waited too long. So, in reality, any time is the best time to invest in AI as long as it's before that line.

god help us when it starts to

"You know how many bosses I have, Bob?

"How many?"

"Eight. I have eight bosses, Bob!"

Taxation does not equal better quality of life for citizens. The only ones proposing this myth are the ones who need more revenue to justify the obscene amounts of debt they leverage with it - and, that's governments.

"Trickledown Taxation" is just as much a myth as Supply Side Economics.

It's amazing what you can get used to; the aspect of human nature despots take advantage of and systematize. Your aversion is understandable. The idea of privacy is just that, an idea. We don't really know if what we do is private anyway, as most of what we consider private can be easily spied on or deduced from observation.

Renting puts me in someone elses space too, just not in the same contextual way - but, functionally no different.

It completely my choice. I had a two bedroom with cheap rent, but was unhappy with what life was becoming and living in my car feels more like living; even if it's just psychosomatic. Long term is to upgrade to a van and find a remote job in data science.

No, I eat Budding Ham and Walmart cheese sandwiches + goldfish crackers and Aldi energy drinks as my 75% source + strawberries and bananas. My diet is mostly sandwiches and Taurine...

As long as possible. Heading south for the winter so I can continue. A lot of money would be nice lol, but I wouldn't mind getting a Master's Degree and having a remote job, upgrading to a van and living in national forests and visiting family/friends; as opposed to hanging out in Walmart parking lots and yelling at loud birds (which is mostly just for fun).

Unavoidable realities include, bathroom availability, no privacy, and little control (outside of moving) over neighbors in parking lots and weather conditions; which affect the mood more than you would think - rain is a real bummer in the heat.
