No other person. nor GP said that Rockstar doesn’t have a right to their IP.

Don't think its just in tech. My wife is in the pharma industry on the research side. Just couple of years ago, she would have recruiters cold-calling her at least 2-3 times a week. She was part of a mass layoff back in spring,2024 when her entire team got axed. Almost took her 5 months and several rounds of interview before she landed two offers. Her background at one point allowed her to pick and choose were she wanted to work. Now that's not the case anymore. It's an employers market right now. I don't see that changing anytime soon.

> I await Trump's words

well..right now, it seems that Trump is siding with Elon on this. This hit the news today:

Also remember - Trump doesn't need the votes anymore from his base. He could pivot on all of his promises or some of these things or make just enough of a visible attempt to give a perception of things are being changed. It wouldn't make a difference. He's said a lot of things and made a lot of promises since being elected the first time. Very few things actually trickled down to the average person. At least nothing that was a lasting change couldn't be undone by the next administration due to bad policy. I say this as someone who voted for him. (I knew what who I was voting for though and had very little expectations of change.)

Because not everyone owns a synology. Some of us have home built NAS. Others would prefer something with lower energy consumption like a raspberry pi.

Hoarder has been great. Was finally able to dump my annual $40 Pocket subscription. Auto tagging using LLM works well. Only issue I have is that mobile app doesn’t allow offline storage and viewing.

Bringing over 10K java developers a year is going to brain drain other countries of java developers?

>h1b is to bring some physicist that matches criteria.

those are exceptional cases. The majority of the 65K year h1b visas granted every year are for filling IT related positions. Mostly dev related positions.

not sure if your comment was an attempt at sarcasm and I just missed it. In case it wasn't - it's not racist for country to look after its own economic interest or the interest of its own citizens.

These seem fine for ads and signage. Some airports have them above the TSA checkpoints. But can’t see how useful they would be for using this as a display to view complex 3d objects.

Wonder if this going to be permanent or will be reverted as soon as the new FTC head is in office.

The shooter used a rare weapon with an integrated suppressor (or "Silencer" as the article indicates). A British made station six 9. I wonder if that will be the focus of investigators, since its an highly unusual weapon.

But it has electrolytes.

Are there any vision models that will work on the Pi 5? Something similar to minicpm-v?

This is an amazing project.

One suggestion - Make the JSON editor panel collapsible or resizable.

> that in time it might develop into zealous communities of samethink

yeah, this is reddit in a nutshell. Anyone that pointed out that Harris is going to lose the election because of x reasons was ridiculed. Among other things.

MiniCPM-v 2.6 is probably the best self-hosted vision model I have used so far. Not just for OCR, but also image analysis. I have it setup, so my NVR (frigate) sends couple of images upon motion alert from a driveway security camera to Ollama with minicpm-v 2.6. I’m able to get a reasonably accurate description of the vehicle that pulled into the driveway. Including describing the person that exits the vehicle and also the license plate. All sent to my phone.

When I saw it was abbreviated to DOGE - I had to double check to make sure I wasn't reading this on The Onion.

The solar panel will eventually require cleaning.

I feel like the complexity around current day .Net is more due to Microsoft’s pathetic attempt at naming and branding and the confusion around their development products. One example is their desktop development frameworks. As someone that is in and out of Microsoft centric development stacks - I can't even keep up with it anymore.

But the fact that you prefer McDonald’s will not forgotten and will be part of some data profile on you , sold and resold by data brokers.

Hoarder : https://hoarder.app/

Hoarder is something I'm selfhosting and use it as my read-it-later and bookmarking. Previously was a pocket subscriber. But after I found hoarder, I got rid my annual pocket subscription. Hoarder does a great job at auto-tagging using OpenAI API and gpt-4o-mini. I added $10 to my OpenAI account and so far have only used maybe .10 cents in API usage despite adding couple of hundred articles and previous booked marked pages.

Also still use uBlock origin. But mainly to hide certain elements of a page or site I visit often.

yeah no doubt - he's going after the remain-in the U.S migrant policy that Biden implemented shortly after taking office in 2021. Those are going to be low hanging fruits. Same for other groups of migrants on temporary status, since they're easy to find. But I was referring to the 10-12 million that have been in the U.S for years. Those are going to be a lot harder, unless he has the infrastructure and resources in place to manage the logistics. Not saying they won't attempt it. But they'll hardly make a dent in the numbers. That's a huge number and will have a huge impact on the labor market. Whether positive or negative remains to be seen.

Yeah. This is a thing lot of people don't understand or see . When they think of Software Developers - they tend to focus on SV companies or FANG. But most software devs work in corporate IT. In that world, IT is a cost center and rarely a profit center. So when cost of anything rises and they need to cut back to boast revenue numbers - it's always the cost center that takes the first hit. In this case, the cost of borrowing dramatically went up.

Most of the stuff he promised he won't do. Simply because of the sheer complexity and resources involved. It's not in his nature to focus and work out complex issues. Imagine the logistics required to simply apprehend, process and deport 10-15 million people at scale. He'll probably do better at closing the border than any past president. That's for certain. But actually deporting all undocumented migrants already within the country. yeah, that's not happening.

At best , its going to be performative on many things. Even with structural changes to the administrative state that the GOP's project 2025 seems to be promising - it's harder than it appears.

Regarding tariffs - China is currently in an economy slump. Trump being transactional in nature , its certain the Chinese will be open to bilateral agreements. So I don't see tariffs lasting long.

Most of the illegal migrants coming into the U.S are not from Mexico. They're from Latin American and Asia. Actual migration from Mexico by Mexican citizens has been on the decline in the past 10 years. Possibly due to Mexico's growing economy.

I think Biden is going to go down as the person that broke the democratic party. But in reality, the blame lies on Obama for convincing Biden to step aside in 2016 and let it be Hillary Clinton. Biden had a much better chance at beating Trump in 2016 than Clinton.

Looks like he also might win the popular vote. First republican to win the popular vote since 2004. If this is true, then this was a clear mandate that the a majority of voters prefer Trump's policies over the other side. We might not like it, but this is how democracy works.

There is certainly going to be domestic and international chaos in the coming years. But a realignment of the world order and domestic politics was inevitable. It's not going to be end of the world like some are making out to be. Nor is it going to be the end of the United States. There will be opportunities. Buckle up and find opportunities where you can.

Bill Gates is no longer at Microsoft. Neither of the Cheneys hold any political office. I look forward to Trump’s action after January,19,2025 as the president of the United States. None of this wishy washy treatment that Israel, a U.S ally has received from the current administration.

I like that 8-bit style UI. Was that based on any existing UI framework?
