You'd have to ban them from society outright without somehow devolving into an authoritarian hellhole in the process (impossible). Trump still primarily posts on a platform specifically created to be a right wing extremist echo chamber.

To be fair, even if they were being honest about Biden twisting their arm (I don't buy it), the timing makes it impossible to believe their claim.

How can you say that banning Nazis has worked well considering everything so far this year?

Admittedly, Google was very heavy handed with Covid censorship. Sure, there was a lot of genuine misinformation that maybe deserved it, but they also tended to catch a lot of actual qualified scientists engaging in scientific debate (say, arguing in favor of masks and the transmission through air theory in the early days) or even some discussion that wasn't opposing the official stances.

Somewhat related, it's pretty insane how even to this day YouTubers have to avoid referring to by name a global multi-year situation that everyone who existed at the time went through. It's due to advertisers rather than government pressure, but still, insane.

If you're a billionaire, you don't feel the need to win the unaffected public's affections. You just do good because you have the resources to do it and can derive satisfaction from the people who are benefiting. You don't get to being ruthless enough to become a billionaire if you're dependent on what uninvolved strangers think of you. If you were, you'd be giving it all away well before piling up enough to become a billionaire.

The distinction between engineering and science gets pretty blurred at the boundaries.

I think in MrBeast's case it goes beyond just overexposure to seeming like a sketchy guy because of how hard he tries to project the image of being a good person while simultaneously flaunting his wealth.

It's very reminiscent of many crypto-scammers, who flaunted their wealth and talked about wanting to help others become wealthy too, only to eventually rug pull.

An idea the anime "Frieren" leans on pretty heavily.

Within rocketry, a lot of accusations of copying against China are just hate. The form of rockets is dictated by physics, and so there are only so many ways to approach the same set of constraints and requirements with similar technologies.

Plus, the exterior form of a rocket is the easy part. The engines, plumbing, control systems, and internal structure are the hard part (and also hard to copy part)

I think even SpaceX fans have been waiting for years for others to finally adopt partial reusability, and thus support this effort.

My complaint with Themis had only been that it didn't sound like they were taking it seriously back when it was announced.

Even after all these years, there has only been one non-SpaceX orbital rocket with reusability built-in to the design goals from the start, to actually fly (but not reused, yet), so seeing another one getting closer to that is good.

Edit: Though, IIRC Themis will mainly be doing hop tests in preparation for an orbital design.

The 3090 I have in my server (Ollama on it is only used occasionally nowadays since I have dual 5080s on my work desktop), also handles accelerating transcoding in Plex, and is in the process of being setup to handle monitoring my 3d printers for failures via camera.

Am also considering setting up Home Assistant with LLM support again.

Blowers are loud, but they're easier to pack together, particularly given how most motherboards don't seem to space their two slots sufficiently to accomodate the massive coolers on recent GPUs.

And of course, even if the rich go to prison and lose the ability to actually vote, they have the ability to support/earn favors by donating.

It's kind of like intentionally targeted advertising of alcohol to alcoholics and recovering alcoholics.

Probably not explicitly illegal to do, but an unethical move that props up social harms for no constructive reason.

If we fuck up terraforming Mars, it's bad, but not ecological collapse level bad. On the other hand, we're already fucking up terraforming Earth.

I think the most obvious negative outcome would be advertisers, particularly those running scams, directly targeting those who are bad at saving.

The deciding factor for being able to effectively utilize LLMs and dodge hallucinations is ability to read code and intuition for how a solution should look. I think juniors are especially hesitant to just dig into understanding some source code unless they have no other choice, e.g. preferring to wait on email response from the author of the code over piecing things together.

This makes LLM tools so tempting, you don't even have to wait on the email response anymore! But of course, this is basically going in blind, and it's no wonder that they end up in hallucination mazes.

If you bothered to actually read the article, the Indian government said something obvious, that the way this policy is being enacted is going to disrupt families, and thus have humanitarian consequences.

What exactly is the Indian government supposed to do about the US governments "cruelty is the point" tactics of making unclear rules over a weekend that cause legal immigrants who happen to be outside the country, to drop everything to fly back?

Maybe the mods temporarily hide a thread to catch up on moderation if it's spiraling too quickly to manage.

There are also the Chinese (stealing your technology).

Probably because every Android or x86 thread gets filled with Apple fans doing similar things? This is just how these kinds of discussions go.

I don't have experience with iPhones, but I assume they're pretty similar to recent non-foldable Samsung flagships. My S23U has had many falls over the past 2.5 years, been surprisingly fine. Maybe they've finally gotten good enough to survive the typical fall reliably.

Can you explain why "move to another country with your family, leaving your elderly parents to fend for themselves" is not abandoning ones parents? Most of the world doesn't believe that old people having a roof over their heads and access to healthcare is all it takes for them to not be considered abandoned.

Even moreso with arbitrary rule changes with zero deadlines meaning they can't even necessarily fly back in emergencies without risking losing their status in the US?

That's an increasing consideration for people thinking about moving to the US or those who aren't settled there yet. But, of course, people who already have family and belongings there will want to get back in to at least sort those things out before leaving for good.

Your ideal immigrants are young parents with healthy children, who are apparently willing to abandon their own parents? And somehow this is a good thing?

You've got to be braver than that about your desires. Be upfront about it instead of dodging the question.

This isn't about prioritizing locals, locals aren't being priorizited by taking away the belongings of someone whose only crime was being a legal immigrant.

If it was solely about prioritizing locals, the rule would make a one-time exemption for H1B holders who happen to be outside the country, so they have the ability to figure things out with their employer, sort out their affairs, sell off vehicles etc, sort out their leases and pack up their belongings to bring with them.

Not really seeing how? Wouldn't this just benefit India (and the rest of the world)?

>If there literally are no Americans (instead of just, no Americans at the price point you are willing to pay), then $100k is a small price to pay to enable your business.

They also have the option of just not building the factory. Somehow you guys expect to increase manufacturing, while also increasing costs and acting like money grows on trees for businesses, and if you just got rid of the dirty brown and yellow people, you'd be getting paid $500k to work on an assembly line.

AFAIK after approval for the H1B, you usually have go through consular services in your home country to get the H1B stamped and to come back on it.

You strongly agree with making people who were legally living their lives in the US lose access to everything they own overnight just because they happened to be outside the country on a random day?
