Well it’s the internet so rather than introducing an idea attributing and condemning something they may or may have not done, we can just look it up rather than up voting with our feels.

Looks Iike he voted for the Patriot Act, didn’t write it but claims the bill that became he patriot act was based on a bill Biden wrote in 1994 and he was proud of that, which is awful.

He voted to increase loans and grants that made college ever more expensive for decades, and then in the aughts, sponsored the bill to make student debt non-dischargeable even in bankruptcy, effectively handcuffing generations past and future as well to the truckload of bullshit they are fed to get them into mountains of debt and then ensuring they are forever chained to it. https://www.congress.gov/116/meeting/house/111100/documents/HHRG-116-JU08-20201202-SD007.pdf

Decades in the US government anyone is going to have lots of awful things they did, and I’m not going to argue it’s his worst but it’s one of the most crippling to anyone trying to better themselves and has destroyed decades of millions of Americans lives.

Don’t forget the quinoa!

Meanwhile OHSU wants to expand and buy legacy to get ece larger and more difficult to manage? And also they don’t really have the money to do so?

Win, win, win!

Tell that to poor Jack.

I had no idea there was a TV series in the early 90s, damn! That’s when I was reading many of these. Thanks for the links!

I seriously will send mine to a satanic charter school if this hits my state.

It was Inauguration Day. JD Vance, nervously donned his clip-on bow-tie and swung his lute over his shoulder.

In every job that must be done

There is an element of fun

You find the fun and snap! The job’s a game

And every task you undertake

Becomes a piece of cake

A lark! A spree!

It’s very clear to see

That a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down, the medicine go down

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest

Has very little time to rest

While gathering his bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit

He has a merry tune to toot

He knows a song

Will move the job along

Oh, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down, the medicine go down

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way

The honey bees that fetch the nectar

From the flowers to the comb

Never tired of ever buzzing to and fro

Because they take a little nip

From every flower that they sip

And hence (And hence)

They find (They find)

Their task is not a grind…

The 7 dwarves talked about “whistle while you work”, many others have said music.

Personally I gamify tasks and try to make them more efficient, or if they’re maxed out, enjoy the time I’ve saved and the efficient task and smooth running of a process. Then the focus becomes the process rather than the sometimes tedious nature of things.

Why did this article leave out the part where the Dems had 90 minutes where Harris could have shown up and been the deciding vote in the Dem confirmation guaranteeing dem majority for the next 2 years? Surprise, surprise they deliberately fumbled it, just like how now that they’ve sunk all progressive hopes for several years now Biden is finally rolling back things he could have years ago. Fuck the latecomers. Unions and people need a party that shows up for them like the wealthy do for Republicans.

OpenAI’s events of last year has me just slightly less than impressed at the ability of a non-profit board/org to be able to contain/control the wild efforts of capital when it matters.

I bought mine a few years ago and paid that, was an HP though so I guess (?) but lower quality. Still surprised to see the price point the same 2 years later.

680m is a few years old…they don’t have anything updated they could throw in?

Reduced transparency while increasing security, name a better authoritarian state combo!

NYT suppressing genocide coverage in Palestine and questioning anything but lockstep support for Israel then wondering why authoritarians messaging landing so we’ll.

NYT are clowns, lost all credibility after backing invasion of Iraq in 2003 despite no evidence and UN security resolution against it.

“I’m so livid right now I don’t even know what to do,” said Jimmy Harrity, an at-large member of City Council who supported the team’s move to East Market Street. “I feel as though I was used as a pawn.”

No need to be livid, Jimmy. Just fully accept that you were used as a pawn and next time don’t be a corporate bitch and stand up for the public interest instead.

You catch on too quickly.

You can no longer choose the shapes, AI hallucinates them for you. If they don’t fit your desired shape you can pay-per-side-polygon to have a fixed number of sided shape added. mS pAInt

Agree, and “defer” can mean organizationally as in needing someone else’s input, knowledge, support, buy-in…vs. running an autocratic hierarchy, which the weak and stupid prefer. Defer also means acknowledging the value and contributions of others and compensating them accordingly.

If I had to boil a lot of the churn in the water about AI, it’s by stupid people trying to sell even stupider, desperate people the idea the immense knowledge of the earth (or even that of their accounting or customer service practices) will be within their grasp and they won’t need others anymore. Of course, some say great cut headcount, because they didn’t understand the work others do in the first place.

While most won’t fully take an approach as extreme, and any AI use will likely be more organic, there will be outliers who receive the bulk of the press.

Saying you don’t need X position in early 2025 based on the state of AI is like declaring in 1996 libraries are dead.
