  • Republicans Complain That Cars Have Become Too Safe, Say It Must Be Reversed

    Jump

  • The article is saying that one of the main things they are trying to axe is Automatic Emergency Braking requirements, and it links to a page with this video. The people in the biggest vehicles will be mostly fine I think, it's everyone else that's in trouble here.

  • Quickly and effortlessly get some music playing that can act as a backdrop for your real activity such as working, driving, cooking, hosting friends, etc. Keep it rolling indefinitely.

    “Discover” new music by statistical means based on your average tastes.

    This is the main thing I want out of music software tbh.

  • How much do you care about music?

  • Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?

    I have adopted the standard for headphones that it's not good enough unless this album sounds ok

  • I am thankful for the safety feature where locking the lid also depresses a button that allows the food processor to operate, but I also keep it unplugged when the lid is off for an extra layer of redundancy.

  • From what I've heard "psychopath" is in fact a disorder that makes a person worse at managing their own life, in addition to making things worse for the people around them.

  • It's definitely glossing over some stuff, like when it talks about the unwillingness of neighbors to trade with them and chalking it up to "burned bridges", I imagine the aggressive US sanctions they've been under played a big role there.

  • Pennies Are Trash Now

  • Platform for Crowd Sourced Software Bounties?

    Jump

  • What about a way to donate (held in reserve for that purpose?) money after the fact for specific commits, and then have a way to indicate which things you'd be most likely to donate to going forward if they are completed? This would mean less reliable payments since there wouldn't be a guarantee any given contribution would result in a payout, but there wouldn't be any disincentive to work on things and there would be a general idea of what donators want. Plus doing it that way would eliminate the need for a manual escrow process.

  • USDA head says 'everyone' on SNAP will now have to reapply

    Jump

  • I got food stamps benefits in the past, that reapplication process was incredibly stressful because something always goes wrong due to bureaucratic fuckups I had no control over, and then I would have to wait on hold on the phone for six hours on a weekday to fix it. Obviously these people know this and want it to be even worse for everyone on the program, fuck them. They know there's tons of people who qualify who don't bother because of how confusing and shitty the application is.

  • Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services

  • Even if they are trying to hack me it's only polite. Plus on the very remote chance they somehow find this and care they would have slightly more info about me.

  • But representatives in a democracy can take a smaller percentage from each to pay their key supporters, because their educated, freer citizens are more productive than peasants. For rulers in a democracy, the more productivity the better. Which is why they build universities, and hospitals, and roads, and grant freedoms, not just out of the goodness of their hearts but because it increases citizen productiveness, which increases treasure for the ruler and their key supporters, even when a lower percentage is taken. Democracies are better places to live than dictatorships, not because representatives are better people, but because their needs happen to be aligned with a large portion of the population. The things that make citizens more productive also make their lives better. Representatives want everyone productive, so everyone gets highways. The worst dictators are those whose incentives are aligned with the fewest citizens, those who have the fewest keys to power. This explains why the worst dictatorships have something in common. Gold, or oil, or diamonds, or similar. If the wealth of a nation is mostly dug out of the ground, it's a terrible place to live because a gold mine can run with dying slaves, and still produce great treasure.

    This is the biggest thing that is concerning to me about AI, and more generally the devaluation of labor. If the people have declining productive negotiating power (our skills becoming less relevant to the production of wealth), by these principles it could lead to a devolution away from democracy. This seems to fit with what has been happening in the USA lately.

  • What would you do if you found out someone was drawing hentai of you with very exaggerated features?

  • Take their images, train LoRa, put on Civitai. If it's of me anyway and they didn't ask it's not like they have grounds to complain about it.

  • This doesn't seem like much of a solution to me, they're still being raised by people using social media, and will be thrown into it at some point. The obligatory age checks are going to make the surveillance state way worse.

  • I hope it will be a situation of medical care being allowed to get somewhat worse, instead of the same standards and institutions being maintained despite not enough funding to keep hospitals open at that standard and so medicine is generally prohibited for the poor.
