That's why no credit should be given. With the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (2021, Biden) which allocates 546-715 billion to infrastructure (see: jobs and improvements to daily lives of Americans) and the CHIPS and Science Ac

This would not be state socialism it would be state capitalism. The capital market still exists, the state is just an owner in this case. Presumably the US Government would be just like any other capital owner in this situation.

Bit of a necro. On fat Americans: at the time and still I'm likely a 99.9%er cardio wise, and I still had the concern about being sweaty. I wasn't exactly trying to smell bad during lectures. Ob ebikes not being tanks: Going 20 in

American drivers tend to be extremely aggressive towards cyclists. Long distances mean you will get tired and/or sweat. Lot of 2 lane roads without shoulders or sidewalks makes cycling on them scary. I do cycle (normal bike). These are

Four comments and only one seems to be related to the article. The article is about "touching on independence, mental health, social behavior, and even environmental awareness" just as much as not sitting on your butt inside. It t

That's great. Good thing its explicitly illegal to distribute sexual material of another individual without their consent. But it's completely legal for you to own that material with their consent. Your blanket claim that you own

Because you still seemingly haven't actually looked at the chart, just some "sweet" spots. Prior to the new CEO announcement there was a 3 month dip in the stock price. Prior to that? The price was averaging higher than the c

Your data point for the stock uptick is so cherry picked. Aug 12th, 24: Stock price is 77.03 Aug 13th, 24: New CEO announced, stock price is 95.9 Sept 9th, 24: New CEO starts, stock price is 92.21 (Peak) Mar 3rd, 25: 117.46 (est) (Trough) A

Conflating the process of discovering something new and learning it after the fact feels like saying "why do I need to know arithmetic when I have a calculator in my pocket?" Anyone giving real critical thought to either statement

We're talking about a summary judgement issued that has not yet been appealed. That doesn't make it "settled." If by "what is stored and the manner which it is stored" is intended to signal model weights, I&#x2

When you say that's the law, as far as I'm aware a single ruling by a lower court has been issued which upholds that application. Hardly settled case law.

This is absurd. Remove all of the content from the training data that was pirated and what is the quality of the end product now?

My takeaway from this is that when you have a system or feature that "can't be tested" that you should try to isolate the "untestable" portions to increase what you can test. The "untestable" portions of a

It also tastes really good. If anyone reading this hasn't had peanut better which is just peanuts and salt, go buy some. Regular peanut butter doesn't taste good afterwards.

How is a device that is still functional e-waste? I have an M1 which I got near launch and don't see myself throwing it out by the end of the decade.

Well, the server could contact the client. The client would just need to be listening on a port/address that the server knows. Which is completely infeasible for 99.99% of end user devices.

I would also assume that a lot of these hobbyists are excellent engineers at their day jobs. While tons of the osdev work is going to be specific to osdev/hardware, tons of it will make you a better engineer. The operating systems cour

I very briefly stalked their osdev forum posts. Looks like a hobby project with a focus on writing (their own?) audio/video playing (and maybe even editing?) software on top of it. Based on their docs, it looks like it's not POSIX

You can't have this argument in good faith at the present moment because the institution is under attack not because of a pragmatic reason as you describe but because the joke of a president is mad at a private citizen for their speech

People who say that they cannot cook on a 40h work week are just inefficient at cooking. It sucks to take a long time to prepare meals, but you will get faster. When you first start cooking for yourself you'll easily double the times o

On a micro level you can change your environment easily - stop buying foods that are bad for you at the store. Don't go down the chip and candy aisle. If you are not the one who shops for food in your household, inform the one who is t

Using map reading skills as a proxy for this is a bit of a strawman. People who use GPS habitually have worse navigational and spatial awareness skills. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-62877-0 If you habitua

The issue is that if you have a claim like "American's should get healthier" I would presume that you would have evidence that they are unhealthy in the first place (Note: I am not disputing this). If the evidence you supply
