Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.

  • The Memo: AOC 2028? Dems feel trepidation and excitement over Ocasio-Cortez

    Jump

  • Looking from the outside, if AOC can become the Democratic nominee for 2028 president, I'd believe the USA has a chance to recover from the Trump disease. She would be one who could show how leftwing policy can produce results like Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum. The USA needs more than business-as-usual politics. Even if AOC is president there will be a multitude of forces to fight against including Israel, Russia, billionaires and the Epstein class and the fact that fully rebuilding a competent government from gutted ruins will take a bit of time. If a plurality of voters pick fascism again over a woman as president, I will genuinely start believing the USA isn't worth saving at that point.

    This year's midterms will be a good barometer to see how progressive Dems perform in swing states (Maine, Michigan etc.) that can help determine how much of a chance she would have.

    There are a solid number of issues that AOC can immediately get certain segments of Republicans onside without compromising her positions at all: one would be to promise to release every file collected in the Epstein case, within the first month of entering office.

    The step before that is a Dem primary but the current slate of prospectives really aren't all that compelling.

  • The federal keyword lists that canceled billions in research funding

    Jump

  • The stupidest keywords on the list I found:

    • barrier
    • biased
    • equality
    • equitable, equities
    • excluded, exclusion, exclusive
    • female
    • historically
    • inclusion, inclusive
    • minority
    • status, statuses

    Math, medical, financial, and classical history types of studies will hit multiple of these lol.

  • Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It's Almost Hard to Believe

    Jump

  • A future where nobody has to work because AI is doing all of it, would be great...

    "Nobody is working while we get to keep all the capital and fruits of labour", is not the same though. If Tech CEOs want to claim their AI to be the fair and equitable solution to the future, they need to actively use a portion of the funds they raise to implement that future, instead of saying "government/people will figure it out or something, while we set this money pile on fire", or "people will be paid in AI queries". AI queries don't put food on the table.

  • Trump is corruptly turning the White House into his billion-dollar dream home

    Jump

  • Cost breakdown:

    • Materials $500
    • Labour $30,000
    • Markup $1,000,000,000

  • CEO who fired 900 people on Zoom just before Christmas wants his job back

    Jump

  • I wish him very little success in his future endeavours.

  • Trump’s justice department arrests expert on far right as part of SPLC crackdown

    Jump

  • We've already had several cases where the Justice Department are desperately trying to walk back and drop their cases as quickly as possible before their called bluff results in worse consequences for them... (1) [2] [3]

  • Trump administration declares brass instruments a national security threat

    Jump

  • A group of national security problems declares yet another thing as a national security threat.

  • Google's classic Search button is gone in a new AI-first homepage

    Jump

  • You've probably done it already, but a quick howto for anyone else (on Firefox Mobile):

    • Three dot menu -> Settings -> Search -> Default search engine
    • Scroll to the bottom, press + Add search engine, put what you like in the Name box
    • in the search string URL box put this: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s
    • Press Save, then select your newly named option for normal and private tabs as you like.

  • "Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers

    Jump

  • I guess when compared to FAANG/Silicon Valley salaries you are probably right.

  • "Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers

    Jump

  • Very few people need to code in assembly, or COBOL

    But those who do are paid the big bux, that's for sure. Many big banks still have their backend off of COBOL code originally written in the 90s, only with flowery UI updates over the years.

  • Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This Year

    Jump

  • They aren't in it for me, but Micron nor SK Hynix give any shits about me either.

  • Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This Year

    Jump

  • I don't think so, domestic electronics manufacturers have an enormous need for memory that is performant but doesn't necessarily need the top-of-the-line, and probably China's government is pushing to reduce the need for imported memory components from Korea or Taiwan as well, so demand for production is there coming from both the private and public sector.

  • Chinese CXMT to Match Micron's DRAM Manufacturing Capacity This Year

    Jump

  • Micron doesn't seem interested in competing for consumer memory anyway, since they exited the consumer memory market. Latent demand exists for memory at not-outrageous prices so good for CXMT for filling that niche.

  • US military asks troops for ‘creative and unconventional’ ideas to punish Iran

    Jump

  • Witness the peak of meritocracy...

  • Trump sued himself into having to pay other people's legal bills as a 'sanction,' now his lawyers claim the judge's 'wrongful invitation' cannot stand

    Jump

  • Double his sanctions everytime Trump's lawyers put forward another frivolous "expedited" motion.

  • PSA Huggingface is scraping GitHub

    Jump

  • Woo! My crappy code and group projects are in there too!

    May all AI generated code be in one giant main loop thanks to my influence 😈

  • Why I stopped talking about my feelings

    Jump

  • Thanks, that is helpful.

  • Why I stopped talking about my feelings

    Jump

  • What else could I do for you, besides saying, "that sucks, friend"? Asking seriously.

    • I can offer you advice based on my own experience, that may or may not work for you.
    • I can refer you to talk to someone who has a professional degree in studying feelings, who may be able to help you with better advice than me or prescribe drugs.
    • I can sit, nod, pat you on the back through words.

    If it is someone I know in person, I'd try to send them care package based on what I would think they liked.

  • Tesseract hides any post containing the phrase "censoring me"

    Jump

  • Following best practice would be ideal, I agree with you, but for FOSS projects I can settle for best effort, and ability to configure/correct any serious errors if it is brought up constructively. Every dev has their own biases and they make tools to fit their needs, not necessarily everyones. Like if it was by accident that a personal filter was pushed to all instances, and then immediately fixed when made public, personally, I could forgive the dev for the mistake. But available evidence shows this was not a mistake, and intentionally hiding things this dev didn't like, pushing the upstream changes without telling anyone.
