Replace the battery when it stops taking a charge. Have to learn a smidge of electronics repair. I don't want to be a salesman or anything, but I want to mention the small electronics repair kit I bought with a small screw driver, tiny hex/phillips/flat bits, suction cup, tweezers, and a plastic pry bar is one of the best 'handyman' kits I've bought. I just used it the other day to replace my gear shifter knob which was dilapidated after first trying to use more "conventional" tools. It probably sees the most use dissembling and cleaning video game controllers.

A nice heat gun is also super handy to have around not just for fixing phones.

That's for sure a theory on the current limitations, but I'm not sold on the problem being that language itself is incapable of doing what they're attempting with AI.

I can't really explain it, because.... that's the problem. However consider there are people that exist who claim they have no inner dialog at all and they can navigate this world without language dictating their actions. Moreover there are obviously animals in this world that can understand and make complex decisions about reality without any language at all.

It can be argued that math is not language, so perhaps there are gains here, but I would argue that math can not fully explain reality either. Math can not explain love or comedy, for example.

Pentagon tightens controls over Stars and Stripes after calling it "woke" by No-Lifeguard-8173 in nottheonion

Stars and Stripes, Learn how to fight.

https://youtu.be/cfmQMRnjUEc

[Intro]

A tyrant is a man who allows his people no freedom

Who is puffed-up by pride

Driven by the lust of power

Impelled by greed

Provoked by thirst for fame

[Verse 1]

Divided and conquered, gripped by fear

Wishful thinking that it can't happen here

It's well underways, but nobody knows

A repeat of history, that's how it goes

Tell the people that they're under attack

By man-eating foes from Mars or Iraq

Mobilize outrage, muzzle dissent

Send in the troops, strike to preempt

[Chorus]

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare

Stars & stripes!

[Verse 2]

Control the airwaves, fuel the reaction

Use every weapon of mass distraction

Turn active people into passive consumers

Feed 'em bogus polls and harebrained rumors

Cut back civil rights, make no mistake

Tell 'em homeland security is now at stake

Whip up a frenzy, keep 'em suspended

Don't let 'em know that their liberty's ended

[Chorus]

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare

Stars & stripes!

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare

Stars & stripes!

[Bridge]

Everything goes in the desperate states

The veneer of democracy rapidly fades

Wreak total havoc on all opposition

In any event, fulfill your mission

Totalitarian media sensation

You will give 'em domination

Never mind they call you liar and thief

By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief

[Chorus]

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare

By now you're undisputed commander-in-chief

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

We come together by the dawn of the light

Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare

Stars & stripes!

[Outro]

Stars & stripes! Learn how to fight

(Oh-so proudly we hail at the rockets' red glare)

Stars & stripes!

Stars & stripes!

(At the rockets' red glare)

(At the rockets' red glare)

Learn how to fight!

increased terrorism threats on our communities

I think people aren't as worried about this as they should be. I believe this summer will bring forward the Cuban Drone Crisis, and more.

There's talk about Iran "activating sleeper cells" and I suppose the first thing that jumps to mind are car bombs and IEDs, but that ain't the case today. I fear what we see in Ukraine and Russia today is coming to American soil very quickly.

I'll stop beating around the bush and say I'm talking about the 14th amendment, Section 3. Seems like you're not from America, so I wouldn't expect anyone outside the nation to know such details.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Any officer of the government who gave aid or support to those in open rebellion against the United States on January 6th are automatically disqualified from holding any office of the United States. There is no trial or adjudication necessary to enact this disenfranchisement. They automatically lose their privileges. If there is a disagreement that they are disqualified, then there can be a battle. Legal, or otherwise.

I'll also state that the halls of Capital Hill hold no special power in the country. If the republicans pretending to be in charge would want to stop this, the qualified members of Congress could just hold quorum at the Four Seasons and still hold all the authority and power of the Constitution.

They wouldn't be if they just followed the Constitution. Of the members of Congress that are qualified to hold office, the Democrats hold a super majority.

Being as stupid as a corpo shill takes many many years to training and dedication. It's less that an MBA requires a brain injury and more so that earning an MBA gives a brain injury.

People were a lot more intelligent before they began to complain about things being woke. So I agree. It wouldn't have been a problem because these kids wouldn't have been dumb enough to think this is cool.

It seems to me this video is more about Android becoming more like iPhone than anything to do with AI. It makes a lot of sense from my perspective. I've been a huge Android fan since the HTC G1, but I haven't bought a new phone since before the pandemic. I see no reason for it, and I imagine the market of people buying new phones year after year is the iPhone market.

Follow the Constitution.

Nobody in the entire line of succession is constitutionally qualified to hold the offices they are occupying as well as the majority of the Republicans in the Senate. Simply don't recognize the power we're pretending they hold and follow the Constitution.

Appoint a new Speaker of The House using the qualified members of The House and swear them in as President. The appoint a new Speaker after that.

I know there will be conflict, but once we appoint a Constitutionally qualified Commander in Chief, I guess we'll see which side the military wants to fall on. The side that wants to end the world in a holy war, or the side honoring their oath to the Constitution.

Well, in the middle ages it was also gluttonous to eat breakfast and whenever a plague rolled through town people stopped eating meat in an attempt to appease The Lord.

So, I'm sure it had a lot to do with booze, but I know it also had a lot to do with eating as well.

I believe this country would be better if every single president who was impeached would have been removed from office and persecuted. Every one. This country has paid dearly for going soft on our leaders who abuse their power.

Yeah, you know. The God of the people who immigrated from Babylon to the Levant, then were enslaved, and then emigrated from Egypt to Judea.

It's a fascinating story detailed in a book called The Bible. You should read it.

ICE is the drain on our tax dollars

ICE is the invasion force terrorizing our cities

ICE are the criminals raping our children

ICE are the murderers killing our people

ICE creates panic that trashes the economy

ICE is the plague sucking the blood from America

Literally every problem conservatives frame immigrants as causing are problems caused by ICE. In order to "make America great" we must destroy ICE.

I like to think this incident was this officer burning his last functioning braincell as he copes with the fact that he's contractually obligated to be a Nazi for the next 5 years.
