You’re choosing between “lots of people being killed” vs “LOOOOOOTTTTTSSSS of people being killed”
Based on your own morality you have outlined, ethically you would choose to vote Kamala then, as under her far far fewer people will die.
Weird take.
People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.
Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.
One vehicle delivering 2 peoples food is better than 2 people driving out to get food, tbh.
Overall delivery drivers substantially reduce traffic.
For more deliverable stuff like packages, 1 delivery truck delivery 40 peoples packages in one trip us so much better than 40 individual households all driving to Walmart or whatever.
I am fine with the majority of traffic just being delivery vehicles and public transit, those are the two actually effective uses for vehicles at the public level.
I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.
Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.
There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.
As a ferret owner who has witnessed many a weasel war dance, my running theory us that it’s actually a trick to cloak their smell.
A large amount of war dancing involves them rolling around on the ground, as if to rub as much of their body and fur into the ground as they can.
If they did that out in the wild, it’s easy to see how this would potentially temporarily cloak their smell in dust and dirt and, right before they go after their prey. It also would probably kick up a bunch of dust into the wind too, which could further mask their approach.
A lot of weasel small prey targets primarily use smell as an early detection. If the weasel has effectively cloaked themselves, it could get them an extra second or two of closing the gap before their prey notices them, which could be a big part of why they’re just so dang good at hunting.
Ferrets are, in fact, such effective hunters, the British government many centuries ago put restrictions on Ferreting (the usage of ferrets to hunt with) cuz it was so efficient it was causing depopulation problems.
I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.
You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.
You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.
That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.
Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.
Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.
Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.
It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.
Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.
It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.
We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.
Not quite.
It’s mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.
As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.
You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they’re using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.
If you want to win an election, Google might be arguably the worst possible company to directly threaten, not gonna lie.
Pretty sure uf they wanted to, they could wbd your political career with any manner of ways.
I bet trump’s Google search history would be devastating if they threatened him with releasing it to the public, lol.
Sounds like a real story, and definitely not the sour grapes rambling of a racist incel…
Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.
You shouldn’t have to download the entire planet though.
The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.
If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)
At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.
I don’t see why users shouldn’t have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.
“Move Fast and Break Things” is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.
She has so much more sway than The Chicks had at the time, by such a huge amount.
The Chicks were already controversial, and had always been so.
But Dolly is the fucking queen of country, people revere her.
How many Dixie Chicks lookalike competitions were you seeing right before their career nosedived?
Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.
Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.
Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.
But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.
Regardless of budget, I have found the following setup has afforded me all the comfort upsides of mobility and console gaming, with none of the performance downsides.
Build a standard desktop gaming pc to your budget, setting aside ~$150, give or take.
Make sure it’s wired into your network and not using wifi. Setup Steam on it as usual.
3a. (Console experience) Buy a Google TV with Chromecast, or whatever it’s called now. Install Steam Link app on it and connect it to your gaming pc. Get a Bluetooth compatible Xbox controller, connect it to the chromecast. Enjoy a console experience with your gaming pc. If you have the chromecast on a wired ethernet lime you’ll have maybe 1ms of input lag, very playable.
3b. (Laptop experience), buy a dirt cheap laptop, install steam on it, use Steam Streaming fu ctionaloty to stream from gaming pc to laptop. If you plug the laptop into ethernet you should have sub 1ms input lag.
This let’s you get all the horsepower of a gaming pc, at gaming pc hardware prices, but the portability of a laptop and/or couch gaming comfort of a console.
And since it’s all centralized to your 1 “server” machine, of you make changes in setup A (ie change am in game setting or etc), it’ll persist even if you swap over.
IE if I change my settings or preferences on the console, I’ll persist that over on my laptop and won’t have to change it again.
Furthermore no network save game synching needed, no waiting for a game to download a second time, no need to update the fane multiple times, etc.
It’s all centralized to your own core machine and everything else is just a thin client.
PS: this works with the Steam Deck too, you can stream from gaming pc to steam deck and use it as a thin client 👍
Disinformation is not the same as Misinformation mate.
It’s critical to know the difference.
Who determines what is disinformation?
A jury, for a given case
Who determines that the information is endangering lives?
A jury, for a given case
If Trump wins the election do you want him determining these things?
I wouldn’t put it past him to try and do that, knowing him.
But that’s not how laws work. Determining if a given case is or is not disinformation would be up to a jury to deliberate, based on facts presented by the lawyers.
As that’s how the justice system works. Or us supposed to at least.
And yes, proving it is disinformation is super hard, so the prosecutor must have a pretty iron tight case. You’d likely need witnesses that can attest to the defendant outright admitting to the act, or their behaviors that signal intent, or evidence on their devices, etc.
This is exactly how Libel and Slander / Defamation cases work right now, you have to prove the defendant knew they were lying and or making a story up intentionally which is incredibly hard, cuz the dependant can just go “I really thought that was the truth!”
For example in the Heard v Depp case, they had to pull evidence of her doctoring photos and using makeup to really sell the case and win the jury over.
So it’s a huge gap to cross…
But…
If you do cross it, I believe the penalty for it should be pretty severe. Especially if the defendant was:
IE those people that dress up like a doctor or nurse or etc and then sell extremely bullshit stuff on social media. That should straight up result in some prison time if they gave out genuinely harmful disinformation.
When they lead to harm, they do indeed end.
People often forget the right to free speech isn’t prioritized over other human rights in pretty kych every first world country.
Otherwise stuff like Libel and Slander wouldn’t make sense legally. As well as hate speech laws.
Your right to free speech comes after peoples rights to safety from harm, and how that’s worded varies country by country, but feel free to Google up on it for your specific case.
It’s why stuff like advertising laws, misinformation and disinformation laws, etc can work too.
Free speech isn’t right #1, which some people just can’t seem to wrap their head around I guess. This isn’t even new, it’s been like that for ages.
How do you think snake oil salesmen could be prosecuted if they were allowed to just say whatever they want?
Why do you think it’s possible to have legal repercussions for threatening to shoot up a school, or bomb a plane?
Thats the natural end game of capitalism, yes.
Not much you can do about it, it’s human nature.
