  • Microsoft launches ‘vibe working’ in Excel and Word

    Jump

  • It could be good to layer in standard machine learning (ML), and it already does have some features (like line of best fit).

    However, in today's context AI means LLMs, and that is not a good fit due to its unpredictability.

  • Mike Johnson Snaps as Shutdown Arguments Repeatedly Crumble on Air - Even Fox News pushed back on the House speaker’s claims.

    Jump

  • I may be wrong, but I believe you're talking about two different types of legislation that have different rules.

    The Republicans have the votes for a simple majority, but I don't think this bill counts as a reconciliation and would require new changes to the senate's rules (which may or may not be possible).

    I could be wrong, but if I was, why haven't they just pushed it forward?

  • Largest mass resignation in US history as 100,000 federal workers quit

    Jump

  • That's a poor title, it should be "largest forced resignation". These people didn't quit, they were told to either resign with severance or be fired.

  • "The Great North" Cancelled After 5 Seasons

    Jump

  • Maybe in the first season, I can't really recall any in the latest season.

    My biggest issue with the show was it was kind "too" wholesome. No one really ever does anything wrong and everyone always gets along. It's still a good show, but I think that held it back a little from Bob's Burgers.

  • Florida schools will test armed drones this fall to thwart shooters

    Jump

  • I mean, not really. Cause it's not even a solution.

    It's more likely a grift some politician is using to pay a friend some money to play with drones.

  • Democrats leave White House with no deal

    Jump

  • From the link I provided

    An identical budget resolution must be adopted by both the House and Senate before Congress can take the critical next step: Advancing legislation to reconcile tax-and-spending laws

    My understanding is that the budget resolution needs to pass before there can be a reconciliation bill.

    Either way, if it really just required 50 votes, they would have done it already.

  • California police stumped after trying to ticket driverless car for illegal U-turn

    Jump

  • What is this "Airbud" rules.

    Cant give it a ticket cause my ticket book doesn't say anything about "robots" breaking laws.

  • Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel

    Jump

  • Yeah, people forget there is also a cost for backtracking these decisions. So the point of boycotting/protesting is to discourage bad behavior, then good behavior can't be equally harmful.

  • Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel

    Jump

  • I think it actually shows we don't know how to fight back.

    With Disney all they had to do was unsubscribe (or in some way contact Disney) to show their frustration.

    How do I do that with ICE? How do I do that with Republicans (when all of my reps are Democrats).

    Disney has a bottom line they worry about, but this administration doesn't care about my opinions or my wallet (look at the direction the economy is going). So even if I could directly tell them I'm not happy with things (and I do in some ways), they don't care.

  • AI-powered bookmark wants to revolutionize the way you read

    Jump

  • Haha losers, I self host my digital library!

  • Democrats leave White House with no deal

    Jump

  • This is a funding bill, which is different than the budget/reconciliation process. He needs 60 votes.

  • Democrats leave White House with no deal

  • How a government shutdown could give Trump more power

    Jump

  • My take on it, they're not going to just layoff people because there is a shutdown. They want to lay all of these people off eventually regardless of funding the government.

    If they're going to lay them off either way, then it's not really a threat nor is it part of the budget discussions. They've played their hand and it doesn't really shift the discussion.

  • Are there actually any good mobile games?

  • Upvote for Slice and Dice

  • Which career to pursue?

    Jump

  • Based on what you wrote, it seems like you need to take a step back and look at the whole picture. Why are you at school and what do you want to study.

    Goin to school can help you position yourself for a career, but is usually primarily about becoming educated (and isn't for everyone).

    If you're primarily concerned about a career, then focus you're studies on something you feel capable in. Physics requires a lot of mathematics (and nowadays usually some programming). Programming coursework may have mathematics, but usually relies more on logic than math. Writing is a great way to work on communication skills and analysis, but will have a less direct career path after school (becoming a professional writer is no guarantee).

    On top of all of that, most people won't even end up working in their field of study.

    At the end of the day, no one really knows where the economy is going long term. That means there isn't a surefire path to success, and why I recommend you think harder about what you feel good about pursuing.

  • Live Nation’s CEO thinks concert tickets are “underpriced”

    Jump

  • People won't scalp what won't sell.

    You're right that scalping is an issue that could be addressed. But if people are going to pay the high prices, then most bands/venues will charge those prices.

  • ‘They will pay a huge price for this’: Shutdown-ready Trump expects Democrats to blink

    Jump

  • Yeah, he's already played the mass RIF hand. He's going to try to make it happen with/without a shutdown.

    Also, anyone slightly aware of things knows a shutdown doesn't cause mass layoffs, that's all Republicans.

  • Trump OMB orders preparation for mass firings of federal workers if government shuts down

    Jump

  • To be fair, I've read that this was his fear with the last shutdown standoff. Now that they're basically destroying the federal government with/without a shutdown he seems more committed to not caving in.

    Not sure if that's what we'll actually see, but seems a little more hopeful.

  • The wildly unqualified lawyer Trump just named to prosecute his enemies

    Jump

  • The issue is, the more of the federal government he replaces, the less people/institutions there are to block him.

    This only works for so long.
