It is still possible to discharge student loans in bankruptcy in the US. It does require meeting a more stringent test than other unsecured debt for loans that covered tuition specifically, but the large majority of people who seek relief through bankruptcy get it. Last I looked it was more than 90% get at least some relief.

This basically the entirety of the hype from the group of people claiming LLMs are going take over the work force. Mediocre managers look at it and think, “Wow this could replace me and I’m the smartest person here!”

Sure, Jan.

I find the very idea of being “left on read” ridiculous. I am not entitled to the immediate or even incidental attention of every person whose phone number I happen to posses. Maybe it’s because I started dating at a time and place when not seeing or hearing from your significant other for a week was perfectly normal, but putting an emotional valuation on a read receipt seems well out of the category of mentally healthy.

Wild to see this, living only a few blocks away. For those unaware (likely all of you), Carlisle is the county seat of a deeply red county on the rural/urban divide in Pennsylvania. The borough itself has a population of only 20k.

What you’re seeing here is the town square on the intersection of the two main streets through town out in front of the courthouse. It’s always been a popular ‘soapbox’ spot and most days you’ll see at least a person or two advocating for a cause. I have never seen half as many people for a protest here. This was genuinely bonkers to see.

Most people do. It’s just called AI in the media everywhere and marketing works. I think online folks forget that something as simple as getting a Lemmy account by yourself puts you into the top quintile of tech literacy.

Oh no, it looks like Mump really did break up.

As Democrats know all too well, national trends don’t decide elections. For reasons that increasingly strain credulity, that simply is not how US elections work. Any analysis that doesn’t spend the bulk of its time on what happened in Pennsylvania and Michigan specifically is probably not worth reading. People in these states know that their votes have massive impact compared to states like California and Wyoming and so they behave differently.

The village’s 300 inhabitants had to leave their homes on 19 May after geologists monitoring the area warned that the glacier appeared unstable

Must be nice to not live in a clown country.

The problem is not so much the test itself, which can be useful sometimes, but the idea that ‘intelligence’ can be fully encapsulated by a single number that is both immutable and discrete.

Remind me which states pay all the fucking taxes again?

obvious troll is obvious.

Pro-police propaganda masquerading as anti-centrist propaganda.

I can’t believe people take this dog-shit seriously.

What factory jobs?

They don’t have the right to deny due process either. Still happening.

implying they ever stopped

Narrator: Unfortunately, it did not.

Calling it ‘search’ is basically propaganda at this point. The results have been fucked for ages.

Can’t lose what you never had.

Probably, the only defense lawyer most people could name off the top of their head is Johnnie Cochran.
