Let the charter schools try this first. Eventually something like this will be integrated into common education, but the first attempts are guaranteed to be disasters. Let those fall on 1/4 of learning time of a small subset of Arizonian charter school students and not “all California public school students” or the like.
Either the boss said he had to do it, our his homelife is so bad, that blowing leaves is an improvement.
When I’m driving my car down a street - in one direction it moves without loosing much momentum, but in another direction at a 90 degree angle, my car tends to lose a lot of momentum. Also, it is impossible to move in the z-direction without having a confederate flag on the top of the car and being chased by a sheriff in the deep south.
Don’t Start With President! Running for president as a party that doesn’t have any senators or governors is a massive waste of money on an ego trip that normally hurts the side that people voting for them support.
Start with safe democratic states, like New York and California. Run for safe democratic mayor-ships and house seats. Once you get a couple of wins, momentum, and a bench of candidates: then try for governor or senator. Once you get more than 3 of them THEN you choose the most popular among the group and run them for president.
I had a bunch of roofers hammering nails in with hammers.
I bought a bunch of nail guns and then fired all the roofers. Now less roofing is being done! It is the end to the Era of nail guns! Everyone should just go back to hammers.
Wait, since when does the speed increase go up to 3x?
repurposing the Engineering Entrepreneurs Program meeting space.
It is 2024, everyone has zoom. It is a room that engineers can meet in and some dumb admin wanted to turn it into a commuter’s lounge or a decoration storage space. Just let the man keep his little meeting space! It is hard enough getting engineers to meet in person these days, no need to make it harder.
I went to Comicon one year, thinking it would be amazing. It was just a swag den and a 10 hour line to see Stan Lee.
It was then I realized that San Diego Comicon doesn’t move around to different cities and “Comicon” is just a name cons take.
I got a sentence in the top 4: “Good. Time. Watching. Porn.”
Biden just finalized the Arizona TSMC plant.
If that gets invaded, I think semiconductors are the least of our problems.
I should of said “makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich” … without them passing on the hurt to the poor. Sort of like how Trump thinks a tariff on foreign goods will only be paid by foreigners.
The rich don’t earn money from an income. They earn it from investments. We tax investments at the same rate as the top bracket (37%). If we raised the top income bracket to 38%, it would push more rich to receive their income via investment. However, raise the investment tax (capital gains), and we drive foreign investment away. A lot of foreign money is in America because we have a long history of stability and a low possibility of the people rising up and nationalizing ownership of foreign property. Drive that money away and everyone suffers, but that also makes it impossible to raise taxes on the rich.
The hype should go the other way. Instead of bigger and bigger models that do more and more - have smaller models that are just as effective. Get them onto personal computers; get them onto phones; get them onto Arduino minis that cost $20 - and then have those models be as good as the big LLMs and Image gen programs.
Wow, they are buying ads but haven’t made any new content since 2012?. Must be a desert bus for hope promotion.
Lister: “Rimmer, death isn’t the handicap it used to be in the olden days. It doesn’t screw your career up like it used to.”
Rimmer: “That’s what they say, Lister, but if you had two people coming for a job and one of them was dead, which one would you pick?”
Lister “It depends which is better qualified.”
Rimmer “Bullpats. When was the last time you saw a dead newsreader?”
Lister “Channel 27 had a hologram reading the news.”
Rimmer “Oh. Groovy, funky Channel 27. Big smegging deal. You livies hate us deadies.”
With the different distros of Linux, do different things support different distros? Like Zoom is support on Arch but not Mint, and Steam is supported in Mint but not Arch; or if an app supports Linux, it is on all distros? And if there is differences, do you have different partitions for different types of Linux?
If anyone can survive the AI text apocalypse, it is wikipedia. They have been fending off and regulating article writing bots since someone coded up a US town article writer from the 2000 census (not the 2010 or 2020 census, the 2000 census. This bot was writing wikipedia articles in 2003)
In a statical job applying world, if everyone had a ln equal chance of landing a job (which isn’t the case, but it makes the math easier), you would, on average, have to apply to as many positions as the average number of applicants that apply to the positions your are applying to.
So if each TRUE job opening has 10 people apply to it, you have to apply to 10 jobs (plus a bunch of false postings) to get a job.
If each true job opening has 10,000 people apply to it, you have to apply to 10,000.
