  • My washing machine has the ability to connect to Wi-Fi but I never set it up. Of course it's a horrible idea just on the surface and it really serves no purpose.

  • If you live somewhere that has electricity coming from the energy grid then by default should also have Internet coming to your house as well. By defining the internet as a utility and treating it like one you would get more funding to build out the network. Something similar happened with phone lines way back in the day if I'm not mistaken.

  • I agree, but that really is the point. Strain government services so they are shit, then use that as an excuse to privatize it as much as possible and funnel the funding to the oligarchs.

  • Some of the LLM deployments are just stupid as well. Take the way AWS is using Claude as part of the Q CLI offering. You would assume such a model would at a bare minimum be able to reference and refer to AWS' own public documentation and knowledgebase data. But no, it doesn't even have access or the ability to read AWS public website unless you copy and paste the text into your chat session. That's just so fucking stupid I can't understand it.

    As a result, it's all too common to get the model to just make shit up about how an AWS service functions, and if you ask it how do you know that? It will admit that it actually doesn't know and just made it up.

    The only thing I've found it useful for is very limited and basic python scripts, but even then you have to be careful since it's not very good at that either.

  • I thought the idea was that Trump wasn't paying them? As in that's the point, the Federal government is forcing the states to foot the bill as a sign of fealty.

  • No offense, but if I had a roach problem this bad I would find a way to afford $40 a month for an exterminator even if I had to cut back to bare utilities only. Maybe even no electricity and cold showers until they were gone.

  • Thanks, she is a big coffee drinker in the morning but has to completely cut off stimulants around noon or it will mess with her sleep. But, so far she refuses the idea of even trying medication because she is worried about side effects.

  • It's not my estimates, it's actually polling data that is showing that among Hispanic voters in Texas that voted for Trump, his approval rating is dropping noticably.

  • From what I've seen if you account for voting trends even just back through 2016 or 2012, this redistricting isn't very helpful. The 2024 voting trends seem more like an anomaly, especially with Hispanic voters. Given Trump's crack down with ICE, his approval ratings among those voters have gone negative.

  • Remember they are basing all of this redistricting in the data from only 1 election cycle, 2024. Even though it's obvious the trends related to Hispanic voters are likely moving back to historical levels favoring the Democrats. So in other words, this redistricting could easily blow up in their faces and increase the number of democratic seats.

  • So will we have the police fighting the military? What if the police start starting the soldiers? What if members of the Chicago PD are also in the reserves, will they get called up? What would happen if the city of Chicago organized to the point that the police as a whole decided not to allow the military into the city?

  • This kind of thing is why my wife is so set against even trying medication for her ADHD, she is quite worried about side-effects!

  • I'm sure it's as accurate and expensive as most A.I. slop.

  • I had an uncle that would quite literally do that and throw the hitch(es) into the bed of the truck every single time he walked through a parking lot. If he had to do that to multiple trucks before getting to the store so be it.

  • Gambling is also widespread enough now if that's why you were going to Vegas, you don't have to anymore. Even in NC we have a pretty sizable casino in Cherokee. And the shows in Vegas seem to really just be the same shit you could see in other big cities, or at least something equivalent.

  • My grandparents had one like that! Eventually the built-in TV broke so they put a newer one on top but just left the whole thing there for years.

  • This seems like a prime opportunity for a good mural to really highlight the effect.

  • Why did you stop at 1980? It wasn't until cellphones became so common with kids that things changed. Even the in early 2000s pagers were still more common with kids/teenagers in my experience.

  • How are there so many of these medical doctor quacks? You'd think going to school that long would teach you something!
