Yeah, I applaud his cojones but this headline is just the title of a single video game forum post with a screenshot of a Facebook post. Searching around, I don't see any indication that his is the deciding vote or anything.
Arguably the most effective Speaker in history, and got an incredible amount of maximally progressive legislation through the House on the thinnest of margins again and again and again. There's a reason Republicans hated (and feared) her so much.
This reminds me of when the Ukraine blackmail story first broke. Even before the impeachment push, it seemed like the story was far more riveting -- entirely because of the whistleblower angle. I remember thinking at the time that if all the transcripts being shown on the news with the reactions and dramatic highlighter effects had instead been a public statement by Trump that "yeah, we're withholding weapons until Zelensky gives us dirt on Biden," the entire thing would have blown over in a week. Maybe this could be similar?
(You know what else has the cachet of secrecy and coverup? The Epstein files.)
Relative to the speed shown in the visualizations. The pop-sci animations look like it takes one step every second or so, while in reality they do hundreds per second.
One of these days AI skeptics will grasp that spelling-based mistakes are an artifact of text tokenization, not some wild stupidity in the model. But today is not that day.
How is it more accurate? I thought that in reality the "steps" are incredibly fast, but that makes it seem like it's a much slower and more uncertain process.
I'm wary of the hype over this gambit because it's been tried several times in the recent past and has always ended with a few key legislators caving and returning to the capitol for no real concessions. Hopefully they realize that people are not in the mood for token resistance (and Abbott's threats against them will steel their spines).
I have -- I had high hopes for it, but the vocals are still pretty bad. They all have this metallic, tinny quality, liked they're subtly vocoded or being sung into those little toy spring microphones for kids. It's a constant reminder that it's artificial and just completely takes me out if it.
I don't know how Suno has become so much more popular than Udio. Every Suno track I've heard has sounded like the same generic pop, and the vocals always have this noticeable "synthy" quality.
The blurb is still accurate -- the homepage has no weather, no news, no sponsored links, etc. Google the company does advertising, but the search engine page itself is still really minimalist. I think a lot of people forget (or never knew) how incredibly cluttered and ugly search engines used to be:
During lockdown I played ECHO, which had been in my backlog for a few years after a stray recommendation I saw on MetaFilter. It was a surprisingly tight integration of beautiful and intriguing environmental/UI/sound design, gorgeous music, compelling yet minimalist storytelling (and voice acting), and a really strong gameplay loop of stealth, puzzle-solving, and the occasional panicky run-and-gun. Imagine my surprise when I read up on it after and learned it only sold a few thousand copies!
I strongly recommend playing it blind, but this trailer gives a good overview of the style and mechanics.
One of the greatest games of all time from a design and gameplay perspective. There's a reason it's in the MoMA. The soundtrack is an all-timer as well.
Wouldn't re-enhanced subsidies blunt any premium rise? Also, I think the deal being discussed includes an extension of open enrollment through spring.
