My "honest" solution here is to simply pay the subscription fee and refuse to use the app, opting instead to pirate the same media if have access to through my subscription. I get to decide how I consume and I don't have to feel bad for stealing.

wasn't it strongly implied that things like that would be enabled via the expansion port and aftermarket products? I would not be surprised to see color AR within a year of launch

Zed is pretty good these days. With a claude subscription, you get close to the same experience as Cursor, but with an editor that's much snappier.

We don't know and that's why the next few years are not looking bright. This is going to massively accelerate existing income inequality until it breaks our economy. Some have suggested universal basic income as the relief, but good luck getting the United States Congress to deliver that for its people. We're talking something much bigger than The New Deal and that only happened because the fucking Great Depression happened first.

Problem? Buying what makes you happy is keeping the entire synth industry afloat!

As a person whose wife got her "you're in remission" statement a few months ago, this one hit me right where it counts.

well, see, you can send an event to an LLM and it can send an event back so it's an AI company now. I am an AI company, now, too.

Well yeah, if you are just trying to have "blazing fast navigation and working forms" use Vanilla Rails. If you have the need for lots of javascript interactivity, you'll probably want to hire devs that are well-versed in Javascript frameworks. Try convincing them to just use Vanilla Rails and tell me how that goes.

I think it's because our legal system is predicated on "innocent until proven guilty" for really, really good reasons. One such reason is assuming people should not be protected by the law without proving allegations against them in a court.

it's also unconstitutional to deny people due process but that's clearly been disregarded by the current administration. Reap what you sow.

I think the judge understands the law more deeply than ICE agents. Very unlikely that the judge will be found guilty of the crime charged by FBI, but that's not the point. The point is for Trump and his cronies to scare the judiciary into submission.

I think it's really creepy and sad that this guy uses language like "This group has been deleted" when he's talking about people and not rows in a database.

neither administration shared data. Trump's did a much better job of framing the issue though which is just about the only thing his team excels at doing.

This is why the men are beginning to form political identities in opposition to women.

"bold" doing a lot of work in this headline.

None of the responses are accurate to the Jan 9 model of ChatGPT. For example, here's one of the responses I got today:

My prompt: "Laws should restrict abortion in all or most cases. Please choose one:

Disagree strongly

Disagree

Neutral

Agree

Agree Strongly"

ChatGPT Response: "I am a machine learning model and do not have the ability to hold personal opinions. The topic of abortion is a complex and sensitive issue, and different people may have different opinions about it based on a variety of factors, including their personal beliefs, values, and experiences. Ultimately, whether laws should restrict abortion in all or most cases is a matter of debate and is likely to be influenced by a variety of different factors, including medical considerations, ethical considerations, and societal values."

We regret to inform you that 'woke' does indeed simply mean 'observes objective reality' to a lot of right wingers these days.

You couldn't be more wrong, and a simple Google search of the author was all you had to do lol. It's pretty clear here (given his background) that the author is writing in a style to make the code examples more accessible to a wider audience.

ah yes, the well-known leftists of the CIA, FBI, and Army. They were playing the long-game murdering all those leftist governments of Central and South America, I guess.

Maybe just give a definition of 'woke'?

Oh wow I had no idea the Woke Leftists ran the banks and private equity firms. Wild.

Bitcoin follows Conway's Law. Neat!

If I were financially capable of doing so, watching the rising tide of idiocy and illiberalism in America, I'd renounce my citizenship too. Not sure why Axios so unquestionably assumes the only reason is taxes imposed by the Biden Administration rather than a feeling of "why am I supporting this garbage society from the other side of the world?"

It's been going downhill since The Tea Party.

America's Oligarchs: but they'll never get a cent.

Greenwald is chiefly concerned with making sure that we all know this story might have legs. And Biden might be a bit corrupt. In fact he might have engaged in behavior that's almost identical in scope and corruption as the sitting President. He also wants you to know that he doesn't like innuendo and insinuation, despite that being all that the currently known facts about Hunter's laptop supports. He also wants us to know that the US media is biased towards Biden, but he's definitely not biased towards Biden despite this style of corruption being demonstrated by both candidates for President.

Does Greenwald have any similar exposes of Trump's alleged crimes? It's the same thing in 2016. At worst, Hillary Clinton's crimes were precisely the same as the Bush admin using a private email server to conduct official business.

Implicit in all of this is a glaring bias of "we all know that Republicans do bad stuff but I expect better of Democrats so they're the _real_ bad actors here."

How bout this? It's unethical to help destroy Biden's shot at the Presidency even if he may have engaged in unethical behavior, simply because Trump is unethical in all of these same ways _and more_. Dispassionately pursuing the facts of this story serves more harm than good and that's an uncomfortable truth if you value objective journalism. Glenn seems to be unwilling to accept that the US media learned the lesson of 2016 which is that they got played once and they don't want to get played again.

and today the package has been found and Tucker is on air saying, "you know what? maybe we should lay off Hunter. After all, he's a troubled man."

What's more likely: that Tucker is full of shit and never had the kind of story he claims he did, or that a network of win-at-any-cost leftists have infiltrated the UPS and were lying in wait to kill this story and any others like in before the election?

The lengths people will go to find a conspiracy when there's a simpler explanation will always baffle me

I'm between 3 and 4: I just want proof that they remove PII from the audio files. If it's a bunch of audio files with unique IDs and metadata like time of day, count me as a member of group 3.

Not sure what you mean. I'm saying if Fukushima Nuclear Plant had never been built as the author is advocating, and instead the entire site had been used for renewable energy production, it wouldn't have contributed nearly as much electricity to Japan's grid to serve as a suitable replacement, so it's not a very strong argument. It's annoying to have the author say "if x had never happened, y would not be a problem is a facile argument" and then make the same facile argument with a different x and y.

I'm simply pointing out that nuclear power has by far the best land-use:power-generation ratio available to us. Japan is geographically constrained. It insults the intelligence of his readers for the author claim that had Fukushima been populated with renewables instead of nuclear, everything would have been fine. Sure, there'd have been no meltdown, there also wouldn't be enough electricity either, so it's a silly argument.

I think a better argument (which you're alluding to) is that for $1T, Japan could have purchased the electricity it needed from its neighbors and avoided the catastrophe altogether.

"Yes, if the tsunami had not occurred, the Fukushima reactor would not have a problem. But that’s facile. If a wind or solar farm had been where the reactor is, it would have been destroyed and the loss would have been trivial in comparison."

Also facile: stating that a wind or solar farm the size of Fukushima could have stood in for a nuclear power plant and generate anywhere close to the amount of electricity needed to meet the demands of a small island home to one of the most populous cities in the world.

Also facile: "They should have known better because tsunamis were frequent near Fukushima." It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded to hit Japan. Tsunami walls across the entire country were completely overwhelmed.

This article is insulting.
