I’m sorry, so besides not wanting to pay a person to drive the vehicle, the fuck does this service actually provide again?

An “convenience” is such a lie. I own a car and have a metro system and I almost never use the car. If I didn’t have parking in the back where I could just keave it it’d be even worse.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla Robotaxis Are Crashing More Than 12 Times as Frequently as Human Drivers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It’s insane how shit the US is at managing its cars considering how aggressively they’ve forced them as the only truly viable mode of transport. It sucks horribly to drive in North America but it’s the only option given to people. Like, if you’re gunna do the worst option at least do it right and have some pride in the system.

The US doesn’t give a fuck about its people.

Hardware keeps getting kore powerful but programs aren’t really doing anything more for us. Games look pretty much the same at anything but the highest settings and a browser does the same shit it did ten years ago, but with all this hardware the devopers stopped giving a shit. “Who cares if it’s good for a 2070, a handful of 5090s exist!”

The more people walking, the fewer people driving. Makes enough sense to me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Him⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Grok has achieved average human intelligence: It believes that someone paying other people, regardless of how they got their money and the ethical failures involved in using it, is equivalent to having done the work themselves. Nevermind that the only reason any of his shit works is in spite of his painfully stupid decisions and not because of them.

In a way, I’m not even mad. We do these things to ourselves and we refuse to look at the obvious.

Gross. That’s how it starts, and then the only thing cheap about is its cost relative to the other tiers.

It’s been a minute, are there Netflix subscriptions which one pays for but which still have ads?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Plumbers actually need their vans to get their stuff around but for these business people there’s no real reason they can’t fly in a normal plane like everyone else. They can fly fancy, but this whole private plane nonsense is comepletely absurd.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Well that’s the thing, it wouldn’t be possible so the entire idea of “let us sane people come” is flawed from the start unless they truly believe that there should be a purity test and that they would pass it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Don’t worry, there aren’t that many sane people in the US. A lot of them are under the impression that they’re sane because they take the “balanced” position, though, which is to say that they just choose whatever’s in between fascism and barely progressive policy while they call themselves intelligent.

Frankly I’m not sure I’d want a bunch of people who cannot take accountability and who have such main-character energy they think that they would be allowed in while “bad” people wouldn’t be. We have enough problems with similar mindsets here in Canada and I really don’t want more of that except now they’re making it even harder to get away from our useless, conservative, Liberal(capital L) party.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Not if you stayed, then it’s an investment. Money doesn’t just disappear when goes to poor people, they use it to buy things like food and stuff. It would only be a financial drain if you were sending that money back home.

The North American mind cannot comprehend the benefits of supporting the poor.

Ah ok cool cool. “Asking questions” is always a dicey game that needs incredibly clear intent these days.

I don’t have the background nevessary to answer your question, but if I understand it correctly you’re asking about when the eggs are created and, if they’re technically made before birth, does it then not count. I’m not sure any one definition would really help nail it down. It’s a question that can probably not be answered within a strict binary which I imagine is part of the point you were trying to make, that said strict binary isn’t something we should be wasting too much time trying to force in the first place.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OnLy tWo eLemEnTs⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If you’re trying to define being a woman as being a female by “asking questions” which, in this context, are stupid ones then sure. Unfortunately for that line of thinking it’s only possible if you’re aggressively ignorant so I’m hoping that I’m misunderstanding something.

And remember, their wealth wasn’t even real but rather was in extremely over-valued stock options which they used to get loans they didn’t really ever pay back. Also all the libertarians supporting them were complaining about how getting away from the gold standard was evil because of printing too much money while these ultra-rich people could use that aforementioned loophole to magic billions into existence just by saying an existing algorithm was “AI” now.

We are so stupid.

I hope that one day we fix our bullshit and stop relying on corporations to save us. This should should be regulated to hell and back by representatives and their teams who are at worst just mediocre at their jobs.

While we’re dreaming and all that I’m gunna high ball it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, but most people would put up with it instead because they’re afraid of the consequences. As much as they use “hackers” for scaring everyone these corporations likely don’t actually care since they know it’s only a handful of people. They know they just need to be stubborn enough for someone to forget after even only a couple months, or to create a boogie man to discourage them from fighting back.

It’s regulation or we’re fucked. Individuals do not have the necessary power to fight these large industries.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Or all the automatics in the states, or all the cars that only seem to come in black, white, or silver. Can also look at a lot of food, especially in food deserts, or public transit being gutted when ridership is low(because it was never funded in the first place).

People need to pay literally any kind of attention. I feel like this information, with studies to back it up that also aren’t by conservative think-tanks, is so readily available and yet also there are people who have zero clue about anything, like you’re saying.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
This is capitalism, they will stop making the normal fridges and only make these fucking things. The only power customers truly have is through regulation(though we should still boycott things because it still helps).

There’s also, I think, the weird fucky option were 75% sorta works because the 25% applies to choosing 50% and 50% applies to choosing 25% which means that as long as you don’t choose 0% you’re good?

How many times you gunna say “you clearly don’t understand” before you just admit that you don’t have the communication skills to talk about it with anyone who doesn’t have intimate knowledge about your specific project and how your soecific company does, or evidently doesn’t, function? Sorry I made you feel bad about yourself by asking questions you couldn’t answer.

Look, you don’t need to admit it to me, this exchange has been heated enough and I get that, but for the love of god please be better the next time you find yourself in a similar situation.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Bruh, I can’t with you lol. Or your dogshit company, either, which apparently has such poor data management that its original plan was to get sales people to ask the fucking developpers to get marketting information for them. Embarrassing.

I love how there’s no possible way for anything to work except for your specific solution and that’s it. Everything else is throwing your hands up in the air and getting mad at people.

My. Guy.
- The copilot agent has access to at least a read only part of the database, right? And this means that it is possible for something to have access to the database, right?
- It generates reports for them using this access to the database, right?
- It knows what each piece of information means because each piece of information comes with some kind of identifier so nothing falls through the cracks, right?
- “Unless a report exists” exactly, so how would that report have been made pre-copilot? This has been my question the entire time. What were people doing in 2018, for example?
What is stopping you from making an interface that a human being can use instead of forcing them to go through a copilot agent? I’m assuming that the database is not a clumsily assorted stack of PDF reports or you would have said something by now(right?). All data would have some way of identifying it(sale instance was for X product in Y location for Z amount at [time], for example) and if you can integrate co-pilot than surely you can integrate something to handle that information, right?

Before the copilot agent, there was no system whatsoever for anyone to make reports because no one had access to the database? So they just hucked information into it and it was lost to time? What if an auditor came through and needed to see things? Did you just say “sorry, no one has access to the database and you’re going to have to wait until LLMs exist and FreedomAdvocate integrates one into the database”?

Look, dude, I’m ok with not understanding something but you haven’t given me any indication that what I’m asking for wouldn’t work. All you’ve said is “no that won’t work” and the most in-depth thing I’ve gotten is that “there are a lot of places to find the info” but never really elaborated on why that’s a significant problem or why co-pilot can handle it so vastly differently(and without missing anything).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Except you obviously did not make your point. In fact, you made the opposite of your point.

You’re going to need to figure out why your language sucks because saying that marketting doesn’t have access to the database enough to filter through information manually but does have access enough to get that information through an LLM is just about the dumbest thing I’ve heard of. They either have access or they don’t, which is it? How come they can only view the information through a fucking chatbot?

And for the love all that is good and holy HOW THE FUCK WAS ANYTHING BEING DONE BEFORE THE AI AGENT?! ANSWER THE VERY SIMPLE QUESTION!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GM cuts thousands of EV and battery factory workers | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It’s actually still much better even to use an ICE generator to charge an electric car than to attach that engine directly to a car and that’s the least efficient way to use non-renewable resources to charge an electric vehicle. Generators are smaller and built to run at a peak efficiency vs cars where they’re almost never there and often keep running even when stopped.

That aside, subsidies are not inherently bad but they are very easily misused. Yes, if a corporation claims it needs to be bailed out then in many ways it should be taken over as it proved that it couldn’t handle the task but that is a different scenario, albeit similar.
