Willful negligence is still as bad if not worse than Ignorance

Japan’s long-standing efforts to protect domestic farmers from outside competition, including limiting imports of foreign rice

Here’s the why in case anyone is wondering. It’s not a global issue.

Honestly I think they blew their load already and now they’re just gonna go quietly sulk in their corners until the find the next grift.

Fair enough. It was more of a general statement as politicians lie by default but can always be tracked through their actions. It’ll be interesting to see what he lobbies for or does and not just says.

So zero action on his part as of late.

This is what I was telling people when they were saying “well it’s against the GPDR!” and I was responding that functionally they’d have to go after every single federated instance, including those outside of the jurisdiction and deal with hundreds of other countries. And I got downvoted for it

Again, words mean jack, I’ll believe it when I see his voting record.

It’s like when people pronounce mana like mana, it’s very annoying.

So I’ve been on both sides of this equation. I had a rich friend growing up and they would give me random gifts like game consoles and tickets to concerts that we’d go with them. It was “pocket change” to them. As I got older, I came in to money young and started to do the same thing with my friends, and I realized why they did it and why I did it.

It’s nothing about power dynamics or holding it over others, but wanting to share in your joys and successes. I would buy dinner for friends at nice places because I wanted to enjoy something and I wanted them to also. They were my friends, I have money, why wouldn’t I want to share it? I hate when people are selfish and hoard money, so why not use it for everyone to enjoy.

Does Voyager support PieFeed?

Tagging so I have this pinned. I need to find a new instance

And I thought the American right was bad about “it doesn’t matter until it affects us”

Because taxes can be traced to services that should be provided to people. No one knows where the money from tariffs are going. (The rich)

(Not entirely legal) get ahold of a Windows Enterprise key (not Pro or Home). No ads and you can turn off all the features completely like recall and telemetry. The only reason Windows is around so much is they try their best not to piss off enterprise customers by making everything configurable. Pro and Home users end up being the ones getting the short end.

Is that a 12-incher you’re packing in there?

Even if it didn’t, you can bet your IT department would have a GPO or policy preventing its installation. Why do you think that you can bring and hook up a piece of unapproved hardware that may do more than what it says without the company (who owns the device) vets it?

If it’s good enough for the President! /s

Ngl. I bought a signal jammer for my wife to use in her classroom (after all, it said “for educational purposes only”) and the kids could never figure out why the signal sucked so bad in her classroom during class times. She never got caught using it and never had to worry about them being on their phones.

If there was an emergency, people would just call the front office and they could always reach her on the land line in the classroom.

Because we all know how perfect documentation is. 😂

So here’s what I don’t get. LLMs were trained on data from places like SO. SO starts losing users ,and thus content. Content that LLMs ingest to stay relevant.

So where will LLMs get their content after a certain point? Especially for new things that may come out or unique situations. It’s not like it’ll scrape the answer from a web page if people are just asking LLMs.
