  • More Texas Democrats plan to spend the night in the state Capitol in protest amid redistricting fight

    Jump

  • In other words, Texas Dems are unprincipled cowards. Imagine what happens when they face a real threat. Fascism is going to break these useless bastards so fast...

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

    Jump

  • I'm not saying that we can't criticize but does it need to start now? Can't it wait until we see who the field of candidates are so we can avoid tarring the candidates before they even start debating? I am mainly worried that the democrats are going to rip themselves apart again before campaign season even starts.

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

    Jump

  • He's been pushing back in a lot of ways. I don't like him and would vote against him in a primary, but I'd absolutely vote for him if he wins the nomination.

    As to what he's done, here are a few things off the top of my head:

    • Began the process of redistricting CA to offset what TX is doing.
    • Sued to keep the national guard from being deployed to LA.
    • Pushed back on repeal of the EV mandate.

    Again, I don't like him. He's slimy. I still will vote for him if he's nominated.

  • Gavin Newsom is Not a Progressive

    Jump

  • Do we need to start the purity tests already, though? I don't like Newsom and would vote against him in most any primary but I will absolutely vote for him over Trump or any other current republican. I can't name a single republican I'd vote for at this point because they're all complicit.

  • NASA’s acting chief calls for the end of Earth science at the space agency | NASA's charter clearly states the agency should study planet Earth, however.

    Jump

  • We're going to cut NASA's eath science mission. At the same time we're going to slash NOAA's ability to perform science. You know, I get the feeling that these people don't want us to understand what their greedy policies are doing to our planet.

  • Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster

    Jump

  • I get why they'd use something like this to save money and time but, is suspect that correct use would include a human check before charging people.

    We need to start pushing for laws on this kind of thing. Automated checks are fine if you, as the company, trust they won't have too many false negatives. If you aren't checking for false positives, though, you should be heavily fined for each false report. $25,000 per false report sounds like a good place to start. Hopefully that would be large enough to not just be the cost of doing business.

  • Donald Trump says his name may have been planted in Jeffrey Epstein files

    Jump

  • I don't like Trump and I'm positive there weren't millions bussed from Mexico to vote. I also don't like disinformation.

    Just looking at school busses, there are approximately 480,000 school busses in the US. Enough to carry 10-30 million people at once, depending on average bus size

    I don't have time to dig deeper, but im sure there are enough city busses in the US to carry a few million more.

  • An immigration lawyer asked ICE for help. She said they gave her the number for Taco Bell

    Jump

  • Man, fuck these people. They obviously don't want justice and don't believe in liberty, certainly not for all. They are so anti American that they break the Pledge of Allegiance on a daily basis.

  • Trump’s Stunning Response When Asked if He Has Sexual ‘Age Limit’ Resurfaces as Epstein-Mania Boils

    Jump

  • Ignoring the actual content of what he's saying here for a minute, it's amazing to hear how different his speech patterns were at this point. He's actually capable of composing a single sentence. Now it sounds like he's just creating a mashup of a bunch of unrelated sentences.

  • Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower

    Jump

  • Ad a fairly senior developer, I'm not at all surprised. AI speeds me up in some circumstances like writing boilerplate; things like kubernetes manifests. It does not speed up my coding, but it does help me explore options, expand my knowledge, and point me down the right track on new methods and packages. It also lets me do things I wouldn't normally bother with, but which are good practice like finding edge cases for unit tests, packaging for multiple architectures, writing scripts to profile my code, etc.

    Essentially, I'm likely slower writing code with AI assistance but I think the code is higher quality because it let's me quickly assess many options and implement best practices that are normally tedious to implement manually.

    I almost never accept code AI has written without modification, but I think I gain a lot from its use.

  • True

  • The POS gives 20%, 25%, and 30% tip options, too.

  • Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI

    Jump

  • I don't think so. I think they'll either use it for very benign tasks or they'll get a LOT of people killed.

  • A clinic blames its closing on Trump’s Medicaid cuts. Patients don’t buy it.

    Jump

  • I think the point that keeps getting forgotten is that these people don't even hear about the bad things that Trump does most of the time and, when they do, it comes with spin to make it sound like a good thing. Mostly, they just hear about how much they are winning, how perfect the administration is... how great this administration has been for the economy, how much they have helped minorities but not in a way that will displace white people... how perfectly they are winning on the international stage, how perfectly the most recent special military action went, how much the rest of the world respects the US, how quickly other countries are giving in to our terriffs.

    They don't hear truth and, at this point, they are so brainwashed that they wouldn't know what to do with the truth if they encountered it.

  • If these aren't microplastics, what are?

    "Micro" just means "small" in this case and doesn't mean "microscopic" or have anything to do with "micrometer".

    The definition of "microplastic" according to NOAA: "Microplastics are small plastic pieces less than five millimeters long".

  • Meet Andrew Yang, Who Is Keen to Help Musk's America Party

    Jump

  • I can't imagine Yang supporting Musk on much of anything. The headline is just intended to force people to read by making a blatantly incorrect claim.

  • Elon Musk furious as 'big bomb' against Trump defused by Pam Bondi

  • The point is that one would think that Jewish people might have learned that mass murder is bad. That said, Israel seems to have forgotten so it's unsurprising that a right wing loon like Laura Loomer would also fail to understand the lessons of history.
