Don’t they know, trump did CLEAN COAL , all the coal is clean because of CLEAN COAL and you can’t get black lung from CLEAN COAL

Speaking for san francisco:

No

No

Yes, in March last year we passed a proposition exempting them from real estate transfer taxes

Yes, there’s a vacancy tax, but there’s a decent amount of exemptions so it only effects large multi unit buildings

No, but there aren’t really any strip malls in the city

He’s so used to being the boss and having everyone always laugh at his shitty jokes that he thinks he’s funny.

He’s not a politician and has no charisma or any way of getting people to do what he wants outside of ordering them to, which is why he’ll never do well in politics where building and maintaining relationships in your coalition is one of your main jobs.

do you know what “from the river to the sea” means?

Yeah, it means the same thing as a song I was taught in elementary school:

From sea to shining sea,

Let freedom ring

It means let everyone in this land enjoy freedom. I suppose if your a cynical bastard you could say it means free of natives, but I don’t think that’s what the elementary schoolers, and everyone else who sings the song means.

Yeah, cause in a nazis belief system I should be enslaved or killed. There belief system is an existential threat to me, so yeah I’m not gonna cry if they’re further away from me.

Mahmouds belief system is only an existential threat to the apartheid Israeli state.

This is lemmy, people hate China, America and commercial social media. Not a big fan of any of those three either so yeah, fuck em. Would be better if we banned all commercial social media but I’m not gonna cry over only some of them getting banned.

Listened to a podcast with a person who lived in the ussr when it fell and was comparing it to current day America. Basically they were saying that people are becoming more cynical and don’t really believe in the project any more and are waiting for something to come along and fundamentally change things.

With gorbachev it was a turn to democratic liberal capitalism, with trump its a turn to autocratic neo-mercantalism.

Both could bring down the great empires of the twentieth century.

Another very surprising outcome of the research is the discovery that these LLMs do not, as is widely assumed, operate by merely predicting the next word. By tracing how Claude generated rhyming couplets, Anthropic found that it chose the rhyming word at the end of verses first, then filled in the rest of the line.

If the llm already knows the full sentence it’s going to output from the first word it “guesses” I wonder if you could short circuit it and say just give the full sentence instead of doing a cycle for each word of the sentence, could maybe cut down on llm energy costs.

I think a lot of services are doing this behind the scenes already. Otherwise chatgpt would be getting basic arithmetic wrong a lot more considering the methods the article has shown it’s using.

You’re just mad trump discovered an infinite money glitch for government revenues. Sell someone a visa for $5 mil, kick them out for no reason because you can, make them pay another $5 mil to come back, rinse and repeat.

Why would they pick Dutch, it has all the complexity of English with non of the native speakers.

Spanish should probably be the top of the list if we’re throwing English out.

it’s between North America and South America

You’re thinking of the Caribbean sea, the gulf of Mexico is bounded by the united states to the north, Florida and Cuba to the east and Mexico to the south and west.

It being called the gulf of Mexico or gulf of America isn’t really going to change anything

It will literally require changing every map and GIS database in the country. Think of all the work NOAA will have to do deal with this BS. Even besides the annoyance and cost of updating all of those it will cause confusion with the rest of the world who will still call it the gulf of Mexico.

Not all athletes have the same needs though. I don’t doubt a marathon runner would need to drink a lot of water , though I doubt even they’d need 2.5 gallons, but does a professional golfer?

I’d argue a quarter back is more similar to the golfer. They aren’t training for speed or stamina, they’re training their fine motor skills and some strength to be able to throw far and throw accurately. If you look at the quarter back on the side line they usually aren’t dripping with sweat like a lot of the other positions are.

Odds are he doesn’t actually drink that much. At the time he was selling electrolytes and if he can convince people to drink more water then they’ll buy more electrolytes to put in that water.

Idk, one of the articles references two high school football players who died from over hydration. Didn’t say how much they drank but it does go to show that you can over hydrate even with a lot of exercise.

Also he’s the quarter back, does he actually do that much strenuous exercise? Yeah he probably has to do some sprints to remain agile but he doesn’t need to run that fast or for that long, he just needs to make quick decisions under pressure and throw well. He’s not a marathon runner or anything like that.

More like the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

What? This isn’t ancient history blaming Clinton or Carter for this. It’s only been 6 months since Biden shit the bed on the debate stage and less than a year since he could’ve seen the many polls that said generic democrat was doing far better then him, dropped out and let the party have a primary.

Are you guys allergic to blaming anyone in the democratic establishment for the shit situation were in?

I mean it sort of is, if Biden had dropped out earlier / never entered the race we could’ve had a primary and gotten a decent candidate who could’ve campaigned for more than 3 months.

Never forget that it was biden’s hubris and stubbornness that got us into this mess.

What, it’s not e commerce , its massive amounts of data, and a massive amount of content. Most people i know who use tik tok never use the store, they use tik tok because it gives them a seemingly limitless amount of content that interests them. They’re able to do this not because they have some secret sauce but because of the sheer volume of people using and posting to the app. The more people watch the more data they have for there algorithm to identify trends, interest groups, interest groups correlations etc. to allow them to identify and target content to an audience. The more people that post the more you can inundate that audience and keep the infinite scroll going.

If tik tok did get shut down and everyone switched to reels or YouTube they would benefit from the increased scale and it would be pretty much the same app within a couple months.
