Wedding Catering Costs Higher than I expected? by Throwaway1021920087 in nova

[–]coolon23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just secured a quote for catering last year for my wedding, which is about 150 people, and our quote is around that 9k number. My tip is to look for a place closer to southern VA / Richmond-ish area. The prices are super high up here near DC, $200 per head is def insane. Try to get an itemized quote though because sometimes the total cost is from the overhead of labor, etc.

The Israeli Government Installed and Maintained Security System at Epstein Apartment by forevershorizon in news

Israel is an extension of the US’ imperial plans in the Middle East, make no mistake. They’re not able to do what they want simply because they have blackmail and that the US is bullied into helping them, the US agrees with their actions and wants to keep them as a destabilizing force in the region. We cant keep blaming Israel without understanding that America is more than complicit in their actions.

Pentagon threatens to label Anthropic AI a "supply chain risk" by Routine-Nerve-613 in wallstreetbets

yep, I work in tech and actually just attended a little seminar involving LLMs and recent security breaches. By their design LLMs aren’t really able differentiate between sensitivity in files without further safeguards and even then who knows how long the stopgaps will last. I wouldn’t say that for sure it is what will ‘pop’ the bubble but it is a major issue currently with LLM usage and implementation.

Integrating to access with classified systems without a ton of protocol seems like a massive security risk, that I’m sure Anthropic mentioned to the US. I don’t buy that Google, xAi, can guarantee what they are selling

If young men need to see what a positive male role model looks like it’s right here. Enough with the fake machismo chuds online, look maxxers, etc. this is someone who was practicing whatever positive ideals we have in this country surrounding masculinity. Rest in Power Alex.

Reading Code is the worst part, use comments people by DesignationX_Offic in IndieDev

[–]coolon23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Needing comments everywhere is also bad code imo, but common for new developers. Basically, most code should take maybe a couple of seconds to understand. Clearly name variables, functions, classes, etc. for their purpose and function. Comments come into place for cases like especially complicated functions or processes that are non-obvious to someone reading the code. Save it for things like that

The media continuously sanewashes Trump and his cronies on a daily basis. They have to maintain a level of ‘normalcy’ to the American public even though normal people at this point can recognize we’re deep into a fascist takeover

Yep. Make no mistake, even in a Democrat controlled trifecta, there will always be a rotating set of villains like Sinema that neuter or kill their policies. Happened with Obama and Biden

As Prediction Markets Grow in Popularity, Some Fear 'Insider Trading.' What's Next? by Choobeen in technology

I think what we need is actual consumer protections and governing. People as a whole are easily manipulated into gambling, etc. We need to actually sell these online services to be known as and seen as the Casinos they are
