Every time I come across a "disinformation expert" they seem to be the ones spreading disinformation.

Well this would just be the excuse. I'm typing this on a Ryzen 5950X w/32 GB of RAM and a 4090. So I guess I already have the beast?

Apple Silicon* I presume? This could honestly be the excuse I need (want) to order an absolute beast of a macbook pro to replace my 2013 model.

I work remotely so I don't even have to go anywhere. But I definitely could with reliable Starlink in theory. I'd love to get more details on your setup. Hotels? Cafes? Or work out of a tent?

Is there a point in time that we can locate when we stopped calling them "requests" and started calling them "asks" even though it's grammatically incorrect? Propagating* incorrectness because someone with power did

This is just an ad hominem pretending to be civil discourse. The topic is XAI, and you're talking about Musk instead.

I have about equal time doing both. Still rather do assembler. Assembler is outstandingly deterministic. CSS feels like I'm fighting Microsoft Word.

I'd rather do assembler than CSS.

The fact that there hasn't been a federal minimum wage hike in 14 years should tell you we live in a fake democracy. Inflation robs the working class of power without ever having to get so much as a bill past congress, and it's no

The consequence for those isn't going to prison. Isn't snark supposed to be against the rules here?

Prison sucks. The only thing it sucks less than is probation.

by Vicinity9635 3y ago
In prison you have no freedom, but no responsiblities. With probation you have fake freedom with a bunch of extra shit you have to do - and pay for - yourself. This is from NC, but look at "Common violations": https:/&#x2F

Brock Turner got probation. I'd rather go to prison than go on probation. I know a cop that feels the same way. The people that think he got off easy don't know how awful probation is.

by Vicinity9635 3y ago
No, he's been in jail. Semantic, and a bit simplified, but basically you're held in jail pending trial, and go to prison for a conviction.

...no. Inflation is actually very simple: More money is added to the system than value produced. That is, money is printed faster than value is created through labor. Stop and think for a second. How do we have trillions of USD? Banks crea

Man I wish someone would do this for my bluetooth sleep mask. It's pretty great except for one thing: When the battery is low or it's going to power off it announces it to you at full volume. On a sleep mask.
