elgordio,

I’ve been using https://fedia.io/ while kbin has been down. It runs on mbin which is a fork of kbin. If kbin comes back properly I’ll quite probably move back, either way it’s good to have options.

elgordio,

#1. It’s not really a ‘snap’ election, it’s been called within the normal window of calling an election. While things could have got better if he’d held on they could have also got worse. With inflation down to more normal rates it looks like he thought ‘this is as good as it’ll get’

#2. Dunno.

elgordio,

Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.

Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.

elgordio,

Played through it yesterday, for £1 on an Xbox game pass trial. It’s only 6 hours long, no wonder it’ll struggle at full price on Steam, when other options are vastly cheaper.

I suspect Microsoft might be happier with the game pass sign up, even if it’s temporary, than a steam purchase anyway.

Enjoyed it a lot, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

elgordio,

Heh. A much as I think Trump is a grade A bellend, that was actually a decent recovery.

elgordio,

Yeah, talking to some folks on a recent visit to the states. It sounds like there are at least some young voters who would normally vote D but won’t because of Biden’s age that are leaning towards RFK. I don’t think his influence can be easily dismissed

elgordio,

An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950

elgordio,

Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.

Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.

elgordio,

I think auto generated subtitles were to fulfil a FCC requirement, some years ago, for content subtitling. It has however turned out super useful for LLM feeding.

elgordio,

Yeah it’ll come to the Air’s and the Mac Mini at some point. I suspect it’s actually cheaper to make on the new process node (it’s the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm process), so maybe it won’t be too far off.

elgordio,

MKBHD did a video on this. Pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY

elgordio,

This should work. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/04/30/us/biden-trump-election-updates?unlocked_article_code=1.oU0.tV5i.vqXISwfzwCxZ&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=c-cb

elgordio,

Yeah worth considering, gets stuff done with less complexity than k8s. Teams that choose it seem to delivery more quickly IME.

elgordio,

Take out the perfume, boxes of fags, and little model aeroplanes. Add more booze. Problem solved.

elgordio,

holding them in your retirement account

Hahahahaha. Not going to be much in the bag at that point.

elgordio,

My CDN bill recently went from about $5 a month to over $200. Turned out it was Tictok’s spider relentlessly scraping the same content over and over again.

It was ignoring robots.txt. In the end I just had to ban their user agent in the CDN config.

elgordio,

Yeah this has been going on for a long old time on /r/dwac_stock. Lots of ‘diamond hands’ buy the dip’ etc… that said I expect a bunch of folk ended up making some decent cash when it went public, but anyone holding now is just asking to be a bagholder.

elgordio,

The jury’s job will be to decide whether Trump violated New York State law by attempting to hide the payment to Daniels as a business expense.

Where things get super tricky is that because this case is being prosecuted as a felony rather than an misdemeanour, the jury must decide that the attempt to hide the payment was in the furtherance of another crime.

The statute of limitations had passed to prosecute as a misdemeanour and in any case maybe that wouldn’t have been considered significant enough to prosecute anyway. So it was decided to up the charge to a felony, which is going to be a tough bar for the prosecution to get over.

This case is far from a slam dunk, and IMO is the weakest of the four, and for that reason the fact it is happening first may not be a good thing at all

elgordio,

One of the problems Amtrak is facing at the moment is a lack of rolling stock. The author notes that the California Zephyr was running full. It’s also running a shorter consist that it would have traditionally because of a lack of units. Increasing the length of the consist, assuming the engines can pull it, would reduce the emissions per seat. The ridership demand is there, the investment into Amtraks stock is, sadly, not.

elgordio,

Thanks for the informative reply and the references. Very interesting!

elgordio,

There are two tiers of side quests in cyberpunk. Gigs and full on side quests. The gigs are all pretty short ‘go to place, shoot / rescue someone’ stuff but the main side quests are generally more involved, including all the romance options etc.

The gigs can be skipped without missing much, but skipping the side quests misses a ton of story IMO.

elgordio,

Interestingly when austerity was being pushed in the early 2010’s one driver was the claim that having more than 90% debt / gdp ratio would cause a country to go into recession.

Turns out though the report this claim was based on had an Excel error in its formula which when corrected would have shown an ~2% growth. Amazing how such a small error can have a such huge implications.

Hannah Fry had an episode about it on the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001r1s4

elgordio,

Usually interest free for 3 or so months. Pay 1/3 a month.

OpenAI hits back at Musk, says billionaire pushed for merger with Tesla (www.reuters.com)

OpenAI on Tuesday hit back at Elon Musk’s claims that the startup abandoned its original mission with emails that showed the billionaire supported its plan to create a for-profit entity and wanted a merger that would make Tesla its “cash cow.”...

elgordio,

Sounds a lot like Gavin Belson https://youtu.be/YPgkSH2050k?si=Cp-dRGZwahI7n_mP

elgordio,

IMO the fines are made to sound scary, and are relevant for large corpos, but the ICO or whatever body for your country, has no interest in prosecuting an individual. What is a ‘percentage of revenue’ on something that makes no revenue anyway.

Even if they did take interest it would start with an opportunity to correct things before prosecution.
