If they going to brick the console they better refund the money.
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 12 hours ago:
Because you don’t publish details of investigation. You publish indictments once investigation is done. That’s essentially weaponization of DOJ.
Republicans were promising to release (and suggesting Democrats are on it). Now as they have the power, they refuse. Claim the files don’t exist then that they are fake, then they are boring.
At this point it is very clear that trump is in them.

That’s why they used Delorean.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 2 weeks ago:
I learned that somebody already did such thing: stopice.net and it existed before this app even.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 2 weeks ago:
stopice.net? Yeah that looks like much safer alternative to iceblock
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 2 weeks ago:
I think it might be simpler.
All the app could do is to report location of the user to ICE.
While people might be interested to show up to ICE raids, immigrants might also want it to know places to say away from.
Since the app is on the phone the location can be tied to the phone number and since they are going after documented immigrants they might have phone numbers from their applications.
I think this should be a mobile website instead of an app is the goal was privacy.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 2 weeks ago:
The problem with phone apps is that they already have access to personally identifiable information.
I would much prefer this was a mobile friendly website.

Yeah it never was about ideology, it was always about supporting USSR and now Russia. This is why they nearly indistinguishible from each other despite supposedly being on the opposite side of the spectrum.

LOL, this meme has two layers, as they say “real sciences don’t need “science” suffix in the name”

I see a lot of people blaming this on AI and raised interest rates.
The real reason for this stagnation is Section 174 of IRS code that was added by the 2017 tax cut bill. The section took effect in 2022 and was added to balance the budget.
This section basically doesn’t allow to deduct cost of the software engineers and they are amortized over 5 years (10 years for international engineers). This puts some strains to regular businesses, but it kills start ups, as they are required to pay taxes even when they are still not profitable and might not even pay 5 years.
Lack of start ups means there is smaller number of openings which is lower mobility. Combined with amortization, it discourages hiring new people as again it requires 5 years.
I see this being dismissed and “it is definitively the interest rates and AI” AI is nowhere close to replace software engineers, in fact from the coworkers that enthusiastically embraced it I see lower quality of code. Interest rates actually came back to what they originally were before 2008.
The hiring issues started exactly when section 174 went into effect. I think the hiring craze in 2021 was only because companies realized that with slim margins in Congress a bill won’t pass that will repeal it so they were hiring like crazy before it become a law. Indeed Democrats were trying to repeal it, it even pass the house, but it was blocked by Republicans in the Senate. Because God forbid they would help Americans and in turn let economy to look good under Biden.

Maybe not, but there’s some merit in it. Initially it was a highly desirable car, now one is ashamed to be in because owner is a Nazi. Another problem is that there’s much higher risk that someone else will damage it (again, because if the owner).

I’m not involved in LLM, but apparently the way it works is that the sentence is broken into words and each word has assigned unique number and that’s how the information is stored. So LLM never sees the actual world.

I don’t think that hurts trump in any way, he is saying what everyone else’s was saying and it doesn’t look like he saw the files either.

Could this just be an act, as people weren’t believing musk was truly leaving and was planning to just operate from shadows?

If you want to also access those communities then yeah, if you don’t then doesn’t matter.

There are some servers that defederate from lemmy.world, for example beehaw.org

No, it’s a completely different instance.
