> American's actually have very good doctors

Doctors aren't setting the rules on who gets what vaccine and when. RFK Jr is. Health insurance companies are.

presumably universal care in general, up to and including healthcare.

there are more than a few backup providers that do this security trade off with user acceptance of the risk. if this trade off isn't good for the user, they can use any other number of insecure backups.

for those who are already in the field and doing these things - if I wanted to start running my own local LLM.. should I find an Nvidia 5080 GPU for my current desktop or is it worth trying one of these Framework AMD desktops?

no but they should be expected to know better during their commercial license oral exam. (speaking as a pilot)

In the LLMs defense - most airline pilots think this is how things work, as well.

and if they do cover it, they will blame the other party for mismanaging it.

home prices are falling in a lot of places. :shrug: denver could always be next

you usually use a chemical attractant insert along with the device. I have one of these. Success seems to be hit or miss. I've run one for a year and it seems to only accidentally catch mosquitos, and that's not a unique outcome. But then others seem to have massive success.

why would you need machine learning? just detect a minimum of one bright light source, assume it's a headlight, and switch the lights. What the worse a false positive could do? this doesn't need AI

stolen from investopedia: The GDP formula is commonly expressed as GDP = C + I + G + (X - M), where C is consumer spending, I is business investment, G is government spending, and (X - M) represents net exports (exports minus imports). This formula helps measure the total economic output of a country during a specific period.

Our tariffs are tampering with the intelligent monitoring of GDP growth. When the USA expanded tariffs to 155% with China it was effectively an embargo, so imports went away (but exports didn't) and our GDP looked amazing. When the tariffs were brought back to previous rates of 55%, companies bought every import they could (or had them released from bonded warehouses) which has pumped the GDP in the other direction. And it'll likely be the same situation next month because Chinese ports are seeing record numbers as US companies try to buy every piece of inventory they can before these tariffs go back up.

The counter argument to that is how VC constantly keeps money in SF/Palo Alto/etc because concentrating the workforce has its upside.

because painting an entire neighborhood in flammable fluid isn't safe... if it doesn't catch fire it'll corrode everything it touches.

most planes can't dump fuel anymore. if it's a serious enough emergency you land overweight. If it's not then you fly long enough to burn it off and land below max landing weight.

a brand new study comes out and you're mad the doctors didn't know about it a year ago?

do you carry any of the blame on yourself since you knew there were explicit instructions but apparently waiting to shower or exercise was too much of an inconvenience for you?

looks like a sublingual immunotherapy treatment for allergies to japanese cedar pollen.

feels like when the same kids that made fun of "safe spaces" on college campuses started crying that they weren't allowed to speak their minds.

i don't think skin color protects any of us from this administration. (the money? maybe)

he can say that all he wants, but Tesla's profits go away when the credits go away, and likely so does his stock price again.

I hope not. I don't believe airbags aren't deployed when you're rearended, and some other circumstances.

it's not just that - but obgyns are leaving states that ban abortions. which has led to entire maternity wards being shut down.

are we pretending the UK isn't a pro surveillance state?

this implies to me that people in Palo Alto don't realize there are places to rent tools from already.

It wasn't a random federal judge. It was a three judge panel, one of which appointed by Trump and another appointed by Reagan (the third by Obama).

You might just be fortunate enough to have not purchased the items that went up. A simple Internet search and you'll find a bunch that did. There were also a lot of goods that ended up in bonded warehouses to wait out the eventual "TACO" (Trump Always Chickens Out) reduction of the tariffs.

i don't think anyone would disagree that a law can "age out", but simply ignoring it because it's old versus revisiting it's intent and modifying/removing/etc are two very different strategies.

the good news is that when this doesn't yield any positive results for xAI and they need a bailout then they'll get bought by Tesla, and Elon is saved once again.

you might be reading a little too much into that word

but ads exist to convince people to buy things. if people can't afford to buy things, why would you need ads?

it's beginning to look a lot like... 2008

BYD is eating their lunch.
