  • "My juror": Trump believed a loyalist on the jury could save him, until the very end

    Jump

  • You can't forget that any true nut jobs were weeded out during jury selection.

  • Tesla investor accuses Elon Musk of $7.5 billion of insider trades

    Jump

  • He's actually not that old. He just looks like shit.

  • Progress can be seen in all parts of life

    Jump

  • I read a brochure at my local butcher shop. The chickens they sell are put in crates and gassed to death. Supposedly pretty easy on the animals. This seems much more efficient than individual submersible trips.

  • Giving Windows total recall is a privacy minefield

    Jump

  • I bet their lawyers might not think it's a great idea.

  • CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information

    Jump

  • The Internet immediately worked, which is one big difference. The dot com financial bubble has nothing to do with the functionality of the internet.

    In this case, there is both a financial bubble, and a "product" that doesn't really work, and which they can't make any better (as he admits in this article.)

    It was obvious from day 1 how useful the Internet would be. Email alone was revolutionary. We are still trying to figure out what the real uses for LLM are. There appear to be some valid use cases outside of creating spam and plagiarizing other people's work, but it doesn't appear to be any kind of revolutionary technology.

  • Kyle Rittenhouse Tells Native Americans They Can ‘Leave’ If They Hate America

    Jump

  • I mean, he makes the rounds in the right wing grift-o-sphere somewhat regularly, has huge name recognition, and likely a very positive q score among maga types.

    He probably doesn't need any leftist outrage to win a primary in the right district.

  • I'm saying that you can't use scotch guard or anything like that.

    It's been a while, but I don't believe that they were allowed to use cardboard or anything of the sort to prop up or modify the appearance of the product. Instead, they would cook say 100 burger patties, go through dozens of heads of lettuce, slice 100 tomatoes, etc, and pick out the perfect pieces to make a burger that looks the way that they want.

    The most that they could adulterate the food was to make a slurry with corn starch, water, and food dye that could be applied with a paint brush to make things look juicy, etc. They would use a clothes steamer to make a pizza look just right. Lots of tricks, but it had to be something that you could just pick up and eat, even if you wouldn't necessarily want to.

  • I dated a woman that worked in TV ad production. Everything has to be real food.

  • In 'Abandonment of Public Education,' Louisiana to Allow Tax Dollars to Pay for Private Schools

    Jump

  • The dream of the right since public schools became integrated.

  • Maine Cybertruck Owner Sad Everyone Hates His Truck

    Jump

  • Because Elmo demands that his people redesign the idea of a car from the ground up, just because he wants to prove he's The Most Special Boy. Remember when they were having all those problems with power steering, and they were like, "hey, our company is basically brand new, we're still working out some kinks."

    Like, power steering has been solved for a long time now, there's no need to try to reinvent it.

    I'm surprised that they haven't released any cars with three, five, or six wheels yet.

  • AT&T paid bribes to get two major pieces of legislation passed, US gov’t says

    Jump

  • It's very frustrating. Here in Ohio, there was a maybe bribery scandal on a bailout for two energy companies. The former house speaker and one or two other legislators got prison sentences.

    The bailout stayed in place, however, and all Ohioans are stuck paying an extra $50 a month, just for having a fossil gas line active. If you have a gas stove, water heater, or furnace, it's fifty bucks a month just to be able to use them, plus whatever you actually use on top of that.

  • Students walk out during Jerry Seinfeld’s commencement speech at Duke

    Jump

  • The ironic thing is that the show Seinfeld was more like IASIP than Friends, in that the characters were mostly shitty people, and the joke was usually on them (even though they similarly often destroyed the lives of people around them.)

  • 54% of young Americans say food costs are the biggest strain on their finances

    Jump

  • Tyson announced several months ago that they were cutting back supply, just so that they could charge more. They're one of, if not the largest chicken supplier (and they are fully vertically integrated) in NA, so them raising prices affects prices across the board.

    Prepare for more pain as bird flu seems to be spreading in US cattle populations.

  • Chicago police won't discipline 9 officers tied to Oath Keepers extremist group

    Jump

  • Because the unite the right march was explicitly about white supremacism? You think there were some "very fine people" marching around and chanting, "Jews will not replace us"?

    Spoiler: there weren't.

    I've never seen footage of a group of Nazis marching around and thought, "I bet some of those dudes are actually pretty alright." That's also not something I want my presidents thinking.

  • The Man Who Killed Google Search

    Jump

  • It seems clear to me that he hates the people that are ruining the tech industry, ripping off customers, and pumping out shitty projects for short term stuck pumps, and he takes every opportunity to shit on those people and point out their idiosyncrasies. That's pretty much every tech CEO these days.

    It's also pretty clear to me that he believes in the promise of the industry, and thinks that workers deserve better than the people that they work for.

  • The GOP Is Blocking A Last Ditch Effort To Bring Cheap Broadband To Poor Americans

    Jump

  • It seems that this is more about killing a popular program that Dems are responsible for, and could point to during election season as a reason to vote for them again.

  • They really want people to RTO

    Jump

  • A redundant concept.

  • RIP in pieces

    Jump

  • "X" is such terrible branding that every news article always has to do what you suggest, otherwise people don't know what the hell is being discussed.

  • Amazon's Just Walk Out technology relies on hundreds of workers in India watching you shop

    Jump

  • They were using machine learning to try and figure out what people were buying. Machine learning has lots of errors until you train it.

    Machine Learning, no matter how well trained or advanced, is just doing a make-em-up.

    Besides that, in this case the experiment has been going on for years and humans were still doing like 70% of the work. It was a failure, that's why Amazon shut it down
