It's a trial

he's biggest larper of all time

you're right to point out AOC is not the arbiter of truth and justice, and has no right to point out that stealing is bad

I'm still unsure why programming jobs haven't mostly been outsourced to India. Sure the contractors suck but people at IBM, India tend to write decent code for IBM, US.

in a post gun warfare world where the state has weapons far exceeding what is legal or really possible for a organized militia to hold this is a pipe dream. muskets used to be state of the art.

didn't MIT, like most other schools change this only in wake of COVID? A pandemic resulting in a significant amount of your potential applicants from applying is pretty good reason.

ubuntu has its own packages from Debian and a different release cycle

it's upsetting as money goes to a dotfile config rather than the underlying projects. arch linux is a phenomenal project

to vote you have to be a citizen i think you've forgotten

democratic socialist isn't inherently interchangeable with social democracy. the DSA defines democratic socialism as explicitly at odds with capitalism, and aims to achieve socialism by going through and past social democracy (where european social democracy is plenty capitalist). Mamdani himself has actively disavowed capitalism.

Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit. We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society.

We believe there are many avenues that feed into the democratic road to socialism. Our vision pushes further than historic social democracy and leaves behind authoritarian visions of socialism in the dustbin of history.

[...] We want to win “radical” reforms like single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life.

can you not just do this with most local models nowadays? the qwen series is quite capable

do computers harbor evil? the thing AI runs on? the thing that has kind of facilitated all the bad things you mentioned with normal boring algorithms?

does electricity harbor evil?

if you think consumers will pay more for the vague notion of privacy i have beachfront property in kansas to sell you. most normies either don't care ("I have nothing to hide ... do you?") or gave up already ("china / the government / big tech / all of the above already have all my data, why would I care if it's a bit more? what are they even going to do with it?" (sometimes, even "i like having relavent ads!")).

at my most pessimistic i can see a world where consumers pay MORE for attestation to continue to opt-in to society, or perhaps a ai-bot-free digital world.

I'm not sure why you think a portion of the general voting base is "rent seeking", but it's the opinion of one without empathy. pick a better one that's at least not simultaneously stupid.

Anyhow ...

If Trump wins and Elon has influence, I do think there is a path to fix America longer term. While the general Trump/Elon vibes are good, I do have concerns about Trump’s fiscal record and protectionist tendencies. [...]

Of course if Kamala wins, I think I’ll be staying in Asia. Managed decline with a side of resentment and looting oligarchs isn’t for me.

the "political adversaries" (let's not be coy, you mean conservatives) who "don't trust 'the science'" are less equipped to evaluate said "the science" than the scient_ists_ they don't trust. usually said people were one bad day away from rambling about global jewry and such. due to whatever social illnesses or sociopolitical causes, we've normalized this position, and now measles is back from the dead. but let's pretend that climate change isn't real and the earth's flat and vaccines give you autism, because universities too woke or whatever the fuck

(it's very funny to pretend tech is still, or really much ever was, one big libfest. it's funnier to say this here of all places)

they have, v8 is a pretty fast engine and an engineering marvel. bun is faster at cost of having worse jit and less correctness

there are many "immortal" strains of cells that are mass produced and sold to labs, most notably "HeLa" cells. in this case in particular, "iPSCs" cells are used, sourcing skin cells or blood cells (with informed consent of the patient), and using those differentiated (or "specialized") cells to create pluripotent (or "less specialized") cells that can then be transformed into neurons

I'm not sure why people are so deeply scared. these are all pretty neat features for people who will need them (off rip seemingly mostly in the embedded world). It's not like the inclusion of these forces you to use them — I've never had to deal with unsafe rust for shipping web stuff, and I highly doubt I'd have to deal with most of these. For modeling's sake it would be nice to have pattern types and view types, I can see them being useful

I think part of it might be just that for modeling's sake it makes it clear when something can write vs only read the socket

its poetry, the point was probably making the thing

it's actively part of the text that the capitalization is not manually written, but hidden with the CSS `text-transform: lowercase`. kneejerk reaction superiority complex

yeah that's the trade off of having a state. the alternative is getting mugged and having to pay ExxonMobil Police Task Force sponsored by Verizon to get your shit back (or deciding it's not worth the cash).

i would not describe "today's era" as "hyper-regulation". we're actively removing regulation day over day
