He benefits because it shores up control of Congress. He’s worried about the midterms because of how disastrous the gas price climb has been for Republican support. I know they’re desperate to shore up their flagging numbers because I got a cold call the other day from a bot trying to convince me that Iran was a massive danger to the US and that if we hadn’t invaded now it would have lead to a massive attack in the future and strongly implied that would have involved Iran nuking the US. It was blatant propaganda couched as a public opinion survey but their bias wasn’t even subtle.

They’re in full blown panic because not even Republican voters are supporting this war at this point. Trump needs gas prices to come down ASAP before they bleed even more votes.

At this point unfortunately both are needed. There should absolutely be official PSAs and news reports, but they also need to rope in influencers so that the brainrotted idiots who listen to people like Joe Roegan also get on board.

The old one was, but not the current one.

Not really unless you have a particular sensitivity to the specific food colorings used. Compared to recent recalls this is pretty minor as it’s essentially just a mistake on the label rather than any kind of contaminate. I.E. had the labels correctly included the yellow food coloring used this would be perfectly fine to sell and there would be no recall.

Repeal churches tax exempt status and most of those megachurches will implode practically overnight. Remove their ability to effectively grift and most of them will move on to a more profitable scam and the ones that are left will be far less dangerous with less money to throw around for bribes.

Yup, this is a golden opportunity for China. There’s a few hurdles left, but if they can clear them we could see this as the start of China absolutely dominating the memory market and these greedy morons are handing it to them on a silver plater.

Article provides 0 real details outside of saying they identified a certain number of sites. The only name they provide is highly suspect as they only explicitly name Cloudflare and that was only as an infrastructure provider for these sites which considering the nature of Cloudflare and how many sites they support is about as revealing as saying that they can be found using Google. Not a single AI provider or even model is actually called out.

More like its corpse will be reanimated in an attempt to scam people using nostalgia. Wouldn’t be the first time this trick has been pulled, remember when LimeWire got resurrected to shill a scam cryptocoin?

Determinism is one of the greatest properties of a computer and should be the gold standard of any program. Guess what LLMs fundamentally can’t do?

And thus the stage is set for the first mass casualty event caused by AI.

So it was an unplanned rapid oxidation event then was it?

That’s a slightly different issue from what this study was about. Specifically this was looking at grammatical structure that’s unique to legal documents rather than specific vocabulary choices (I.E. jargon). Legal documents tend to have both, a unique hard to understand structure, as well as using words that are both uncommon as well as have unique definitions in the legal context that are different from their common ones.

I suspect jargon is a problem no matter what, every specialized field suffers from that to a certain extent, but the unique grammatical structure is a problem that’s really only seen in legal documents. The explanation for why that’s the case seems to be potentially a historical accident and basically boils down to “because that makes it sound legal”, despite literally everybody saying they prefer legal documents written in a normal style.

That’s not what the study found, it in fact disproves that theory. It’s an interesting study with results that are quite surprising.

Setting aside how blatantly illegal this is, this seems like it would hurt Republicans more than Democrats? A lot of immigrants live in southern states that are historically Republican strongholds. If you exclude non-citizens it seems like Republican states have a lot more to lose from this than Democrat states do. Is this going to play out like a lot of recent Republican gerrymandering attempts where they think they’re pulling a fast one but end up hurting themselves instead?

Does anyone still consider Fetterman a Democrat at this point? He’s consistently supported and voted with Republicans for years now. He may have run as a Democrat, but policy wise he’s 100% a Republican.

It’s Trump promsing to pay something. If you believe he’s actually going to pay anyone you’ve not been paying attention to literally anything Trump has done in the last like 40 years. Trump IOUs might as well be toilet papsr, at least that way they’d be useful for something.

The problem would be driving the display. Typically you need some kind of dedicated display driver IC which is likely baked into the control IC on these devices. It’s most likely not worth the time to try to figure out one without the other. The good news is someone linked a really cool hackaday article above where somebody worked out the control protocol on at least one model and demonstrated pushing pretty arbitrary content to the display.

Yes, but actually no. They almost certainly use cheap glob top ICs for their firmware and I’d be surprised if they can be reflashed at all. You might be able to figure out how to push your own updates to them but you’ll likely be restricted to displaying a limited format. It’s really going to depend on the specific model though and how open ended the manufacturer made them.
