Unfair advantage, England is the worlds leading cause of independence days.

You’d be delusional to think there wasn’t. Everybody was cooped up and stir crazy. Nobody was seeing friends, coworkers, teachers etc face-to-face. Ya know. People who would notice a black eye or a bruised arm. Possibly even mandatory reporters.
Not to mention that one of the first things most prenatal care centers will do (at least any decent one) is take the woman into another room, without her partner, and ask if they are safe. That doesn’t work so well over a telehealth appointment.
Abuse absolutely went up. The lowest estimates I’d seen were like 8%. Pregnant women can only fall down so many flights of stairs before fetuses start dying.
Hmm, I’m having trouble understanding the syntax of your statement.
Is it (People who use LLMs to write code incorrectly) (perceived their code to be more secure) (than code written by expert humans.)
Or is it (People who use LLMs to write code) (incorrectly perceived their code to be more secure) (than code written by expert humans.)
This is my big concern…not that people will use LLMs as a useful tool. That’s inevitable. I fear that people will forget how to ask questions and learn for themselves.
Coders are gonna get especially screwed by AI, compared to other industries that were disrupted by leaps in technology.
Look at auto assembly. Look at how many humans used to be involved in that process. Now a lot of the assembly is performed by robotics.
The real sad part is that there’s tons of investment (in terms of time and in terms of money) to become a skilled programmer. Any idiot can read a guide on Python and throw together some functional scripts, but programming isn’t just writing lines of code. That code comes from tons of experience, experiments, and trial and error.
At least auto workers had unions though. Coders don’t have that luxury. As a profession it really had its big boom at a time when people had long since been trained to be skeptical of them.
Very true. I used to think seat warmers and heated steering wheels were like…obscene-tier creature comforts.
Nah. They’re damn near necessities once you have it.
How does heat work in EVs?
In ICE cars it’s waste heat generated by the engine, carried via antifreeze to the heater core, which air then passes through. Basically, a radiator.
Where does the waste heat come from? Or is it resistive or a heat pump or something?
Assuming $3/gal, $50/week for 3 years is 40mpg. Averaging that is damn impressive for an ICE car.
Just saw somewhere else that you are driving a golf. TDI or gas? I’m not doubting you. That’s just impressive. I can get the mid or upper 30s on my 55mi one-way commute in my gas Passat…if I’m lucky enough to not hit traffic. But that takes me trying to drive for efficiency, and almost all highway. I’d be happy to average at 30.
the average age in the US is 38
Damnit now there’s something that I’m upset about being above average for.
Heh my youngest kid (of two) tells his brother this all the time.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Sounds good now, but we’ll just end up with bigger pickup trucks that have cowcatchers installed.
Sure is.
Same way that a 12 year old smoking isn’t illegal, providing a 12 year old with cigarettes is.
Prosecute the profiteers of the industry – the ones making significant money recording or distributing for profit. Not the ones keeping a copy of the 1s and 0s they found laying around somewhere in the internet.
Then what about C++++, aka C#.
He’s 5 now and still a punk. Waiting for the day when I ask him to clean his room and he says “Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me”. And I’ll cry a bittersweet tear. Am I the machine??
Small as in population, not small as in size. Most of the states in New England have a bigger population than Wyoming, SD, ND, etc.
Wyoming has a population of 581,381, with 2 senators and 1 rep. That’s 581k people per rep, 193k people per congressperson/EC vote. With another senator, that ratio is 145k:1
Massachusetts has a population of 7 million, with 2 senators and 9 reps. That’s 777k people per rep, 636k per congressperson/EC vote. With another senator, that ratio is 1:583k.
More senators would give more power to imaginary lines and not to people.
You want to fix Congress, reapportion the house and abolish the senate, or at least severely neuter it. Way too much power granted to way too few people, especially when you consider the committees and the EC.
The concept is outdated. State boundaries mean diddly when we’ve got instant communication, rapid transportation, and a real loose interpretation of the interstate commerce clause.
ETA: Hawaii, and indigenous rights in particular, are a really terrible example.
I think it’s better to just say toddlers are punks. They just don’t give a shit about authority. Toddlers are soooo punk rock. I asked my 3yo if he knew where he was, he said “I’m in the jungle, baby!”. Yeah. Like that.
Well yeah, do that too. But as long as we’re weighing votes based on land, Texas will remain a red state.
Fixing voter suppression tactics might help federal elections. Probably just Senate, actually. But state office elections…there are far more red counties and towns than there are blue cities and towns. And somehow that matters.
I disagree with this.
I think most left leaning people don’t want no guns. We just want responsible gun ownership and issuance, at the bare minimum.
We recognize that guns, like hammers are tools. They have legitimate uses. The problem comes when people start seeing everything as a nail. Or they don’t properly secure them. Or they give them to people who lack the discipline to properly handle them.
Or, when people think that having the discipline and cognitive functionality to properly handle a tool that is easily capable of accidental or intentional death… shouldn’t matter.
I don’t own a gun. I don’t want a gun in my house or anywhere near me. I’ve had a history of depression and who knows when those thoughts will come back around. Or if my wife will have them. Or my kids. I don’t want an exit-button anywhere near me if that ever happens.
But if you want one? Cool for you. Keep it locked up when you aren’t using it.
