Have you tried enabling exploit compatibility mode for your bank app? I know that’s what fixed it for mine.

We really should be slowing down and looking at the effects of AI. It has too much potential to fuck everything up to not think about it a bit, especially if recursive self-improvement is on the horizon.

This is Anthropic’s entire marketing strategy: get people thinking that LLMs can do more than they actually can through fear. This is what they constantly do and have done for at least the last two years. They also tend to stretch or bury the truth in their “studies” with these goals in mind.

Fear, especially of the unknown, is very powerful. If you fear it the way they want you to, that feeling will convince you that the LLMs are going to take over any day now, and once enough people think that, it pumps Anthropic’s valuation.

I do agree that we should slow down, but not necessarily because of any recursion (they claim they can already do this with “agents”, another term they stole to make LLMs seem more capable). I think we should stop because it’s a huge bubble, and the more we pump into it the louder the pop will be. Not only that, but is a monumental waste of resouces, all to generate half-baked slop most of the time.

Very nice! I want to do something like this… it’s just hard to make the jump since I live in Western Washington where it rains for half of the year.

Good idea on the adjustable angle!

One thing I think we can all agree on is that the weather shouldn’t be a political topic.

It definitely shouldn’t be, but the right makes it a political issue. MyNorthwest has had climate change denier contributors and articles in the past, and it’s come up on their conservative radio show as well.

Have you thought about battery chemistry? LiFePo4 batteries last a lot longer because they don’t degrade as much as lead acid during cycling, and they’re better than standard lithium in that regard as well (draining them to 0 or having them charged at 100% doesn’t harm the cells). Plus, they’re a lot less explosively flammable than lithium.

They are more expensive, especially the rack mounted ones that allow for easy replacement. But goldenmate makes affordable ones that work really well! I have one that connects up to NUT via USB. I think they have that offering in smaller ones close to your budget, but you’d need to make sure it has the USB connection before going that route.

It’s definitely possible, but it should be noted that the model run was yesterday making it 12 days out. Meteorologists call runs that far out “fantasy land” since so much can change.

The model run for today is a lot less impactful, showing upper 70’s.

Also, my northwest is a conservative outlet.

So you don’t care if the candidate that is genocide lite loses and we get full genocide?

Ah, got it. That’s at least better than what I thought, but still not great.

The money is gone, because the FCC gave it to private companies. Unless the FCC stops giving grants to private companies, people will have to deal with spotty, unreliable internet that is overpriced. It was very much given to private companies (such as Comcast, Time Warner, and now SpaceX) in much more massive quantities than public fiber. There is definitely at least some “instead of”.

I didn’t say there weren’t legitimate uses, but fiber is more often a better solution and it doesn’t fall out of the sky in an unsustainable way. Once the fiber is there, it’s there, and unlike LEO satellites, it can be repaired. It also doesn’t create an ungodly amount of pollution every time they need to lay some more, no where near as much.

I’d be curious to know what the astronomical use you’re thinking of is.

They can’t always filter it out. A lot of times the satellite tracks are RIGHT in front of what they’re observing. If it weren’t a problem, why are astronomers speaking out about it? Space telescope time is priceless, and it takes years to even get the chance to have a window of time where you’re able to use it. Have you ever seen how booked up they are? Saying they have satellite options only serves to minimize the actual problem to those that have no idea what that looks like.

The point isn’t that there are more internet users than astronomers. The point is that we had a better solution, most of the grants for that solution were given to private companies, and now one of the private companies (owned by a nazi billionaire fuck) is exploiting that for financial gain, while astronomers are catching strays. The point, in the end, is that SpaceX, like other private companies, should have never been given a grant from the FCC, especially when the nazi owner is one of the richest people on the planet.

Thanks for the heads up.

I agree for the most part, but if instead of giving FCC money to a nazi billionaire scumbag we funded public utility fiber, we would have no need to ruin ground based astronomy and we’d have faster, more stable, lower latency connections. Switching to my county’s PUD fiber was huge. I pay $65/mo for gig up and down and get sub 15ms pings in most things.

The FCC should have never given money to any private company, and certainly not one owned by one of the richest scumbags around.

A lot of places have relatively cheap housing with two car garages which are owned by the working class.

Let’s not lose sight here. The enemy is the upper class (typically billionaires, but a lot of time this includes politicians), and they want the lower class divided and shitting on each other so that they can do whatever they want in the meantime.

It has a shitty LLM company attached, so that magically makes it one of the most valuable companies in the world!

While I believe this to be relatively true, since it’s CBS I wouldn’t be surprised if the intent of the article is to shift blame about the fucked economy from Trump to the lower class.

Wait, is WoW owned by paramount now?

CA allows mail in ballots to be postmarked on election day, and in the past those have leaned to the left. There’s still 42% of the ballots out. Plus, it’s a jungle primary, meaning the top two candidates win. So, even if the GOP candidate has the most votes in the primary, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll win in the general.

I don’t disagree, though. Anyone that is continuing to vote for any republican is dumb as bricks and it’s very demoralizing.

Not surprising, fucking scumbags.

Oh for sure, I don’t feel any sympathy for her. I just hate to see articles calling children “escorts” in general.

There’s nothing ironic here, just you putting your fingers in your ears to ignore reality, like most irresponsible pet owners do.

Just saw your edit, which is hilarious to add when your cat thought it was literally in danger outside, by your own description. That is why people are bringing it up here specifically, and what you continue to fail to see.

“Stick to keeping your cats healthy and safe, we’ll let our cats get terrified, be in danger, and then post online when I finally notice that they might have been in danger like it’s some big mystery.”
