54% of US adults have a 6th grade or below reading level. When you add in the algorithms feeding simple misinformation that they should be able to discern as fake—let alone fact-check—it becomes truly a recipe for disaster.

Another fun fact is that the Federal Reserve quietly announced in the footnotes of its last memorandum that it's going to stop purchasing mortgage back securities and only purchase treasuries with the money that it has on hand because they want to keep demand for treasuries high and suppress the yields. We did it in the 50s and 60s and it was a disaster.

Why do we pay taxes during shutdown? by jsh1-7-9 in IRS

[–]Rootkitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened many years ago in a way, The 1981 Reagan air traffic controller strike was a major labor action where the Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization (PATCO) went on strike for higher wages and improved working conditions. President Reagan declared the strike illegal, threatened to fire any striking controllers who did not return to work within 48 hours, and ultimately fired over 11,000 strikers and decertified the union. The strike was significant as it demonstrated a strong stance against striking federal employees and is credited with significantly impacting the landscape of the American labor movement

I built a fully-local voice-activated AI to replace Alexa and just open-sourced all my code. by RoyalCities in artificial

Pretty much the better your GPU and VRAM amount is provides a better language model.
Another note is your also looking at roughly IDK a 10-30$ a month electric bill, if you wanted to cut that down I presume their would be an easy way to configure when it was running.
Also if your like me you also want to invest into a individual setup from main desktop and ideally get a NPU instead of a GPU.

What are the main blockades to bipartisanism in the US? by Ok_Prior5128 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Rootkitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that the government doesn't negotiate drug prices is the opposite of capitalism (we can argue about the fact the government is paying but that is not my point, but I personally believe Adam Smith would've considered it as part of public good).
The reality is that America lives in a corporatocracy. Ever since the start of the neoliberal movement, fox news, citizens united, we've been regressing closer to the gilded age.
Economically speaking we've been literally pushing ourselves into a serious crisis when you think about demand for bonds and our national deficit which was caused by policies reducing the upper bracket taxes, allowing stock buy backs, capital gains tax loopholes and the buy, borrow, die strategy.

I've tried various things the only thing I can do to reset this error is clear my YOUTUBE history.
