The thing that gets me is that the price of oat milk is so completely divorced from what it cost to produce. It's absolutely wild that oat milk, made with one of the cheapest bulk grains, is as expensive as almond milk, made with an expensive nut.
100% agree and don't think it will come to that but I won't completely put it past this administration
Go after the hosts, 99% of people won't be able to run this locally even if they wanted to.
It would be extremely heavy handed but the administration has sanctioned the International Criminal Court judges such that they basically have no access to the Wests modern financial system. I think domestic US providers would have to deal with different ways but someone like Herzner could easily be cut off from the financial system if the administration doesn't feel that they are adequately blocking the model
They could ban payment processors from processing payments to any hosts of GML 5.2, despite the open weights the vast majority of people will be using cloud providers to get access since it is to heavy to host for 99% of people.
This would be extremely heavy handed and probably end up accelerating the loss of the virtual US monopoly of payment network. The reast of the world isn't going to let the US dictate that only they get the frontier models whether their US made or otherwise
Honestly the hardest part of changing diapers is when they get bigger and insists on wiggling everywhere while you are changing them
But usually when that is the case they will use glassware that has a 20oz line on the glass with room for the head.
Their constant treadmill of paid cosmetics, for lack of a better term, that no one was asking for and at least monthly Nitro beg screen is pretty indicative that they are having issues making revue and are desperately throwing things at the wall to see what sticks.
While we should never expect public transit to be self funding removing fares removes the ability for transit funds to scale with ridership, there is a reason that farebox ratios are correlated with ridership.
I still can't believe that Alberta is charging for COVID vaccines purely for political reasons.
I was wondering if Casey would end up a mention on this topic.
Same could be said for part of bus networks
The only part of municipal/ regional bus network that is suitable for privatisation in a high labour cost country is contracting out operations. Ticketing, route planning andscheduling all should be under a central governmental authority. There is a reason that, outside of London, England has some of the worst bus services in the developed world
I feel like we need to move on from using the same test on models since as time goes on the information about these specific test is out there in the training data and while i am not saying that it's happened in this case there is nothing stopping model developers from adding extra data for theses tests directly in the training data to make their models seem better than they are
The vast majority of "luxury" properties are just regular property that spend a marginal amount on nicer appliances and finishing.
Same here. It's not so hard, if your image isn't flat colours and has any "noise" use jpg.
The one subtle difference I've noticed between Canadian and American English is on school grades. American say "first grade" where as Canada say "grade one".
One of the biggest advantages I saw from the Raspberry Pi rp series for amateurs is they they have great documentation.
He would still be unbelievably rich even if Meta went bankrupt. He is in the unique position to have majority control of one of the world's largest tech companies and can pretty much use it to do what ever he wants. I doubt he cares much about Facebook past it's ability to generate money at this point.
Unfortunately the Coventry VLRT is all about aesthetics over actually transit benefits. If the they were concerned about being useful transit the vehicle would have capacity higher than an articulated bus. Instead the main benefit of Trams/LRT over buses, capacity, is sacrificed leaving no real benefits. You can see the same thing with the Obama ere streetcars in the USA where most of them proved no real benefits over the buses the run alongside them but at least they retained the capacity even if it was never needed.
Yeah but you could do that with a bus today without miltiions in infrastructure spending
My favorite GNOME developer's hill to die on is their refusal to implement a system tray or work with the rest of the Linux desktop community to create an alternative to the system tray. Don't get me wrong there has been a abuse of the system tray but the refusal to acknowledge that there is a use case for persistent notifications or status indicators is ridiculous. there suggestion is that notifications are the solution is so inadequate. It's pretty telling that their arguments aren't sound when they have chosen to implement traditional system tray items such as a battery indicator and volume indicator as built in items on the task bar but they dismiss the idea that a chat app status indicator would be useful.
Even if you insist on going through the cities in the valley they chose a construction sequence that takes the longest time to show any process. If they fast tracked LA-Bakersfield they could have extended the Amtrak San Joaquin service to LA by now. Concentrat on the SF-Merced section next and then you can work on the Merced-Bakersfield piece meal.
I think it comes down to the fact that LLMs are powerful tools but just like a really good saw can be extremely helpful to a talented carpenter to an untrained person it useless unless they actually learn to do the job
Other countries are not going to let the USA determine domestic tax policies.
If they did remove VAT from items imported from the United States it would lead to the absurd situation where a US merchant could import an item from Germany without VAT and then sell it to consumers in Germany without VAT undercutting German retailers and denying the German government their consumption tax revenue
VAT is not a tarrif or trade tax it is simply appling a consumption tax to all goods foreign and domestic.
The US having a less efficient tax system isn't the fault of the EU
By that logic imported items should not have US state sales taxes apply.
The main purpose of VAT is to not fully apply a consumption tax multiple times through manufacturing and distraction
Most US state sales taxes also apply to imported products so should othe countries consider that a tariff as well?
By the same argument US states sales taxes are also tariffs since most of them are supposed to be paid on imported goods as well.
