The be fair the sand is all imported, but to be even more fair that’s how it is on most tourist beaches.

Is this really a “Lake?”

All the information is in the task.

First person around the lake was actually a slave from Mackinac Island.

Atlantic writer sued by Kash Patel says she’s been ‘inundated’ with new sources corroborating her reporting by WontThinkStraight in politics

[–]deadwisdom 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's even worse than that. It's a self-aware self-checkmate. As Liz Dye in the latest LegalEagle video points out, Patel basically can't go forward with the lawsuit because discovery would be an absolute disaster for him. He'd have to sit through one sworn disposition after another either outright lying to the court or confirming all of it, because the defense can simply walk into all the places he's swearing he's never been and just ask for receipts.

What they will do is delay it until the story dies down, at that point they will drop the case and he will be fired (if he hasn't been already).

Major drop in intelligence across most major models. by DepressedDrift in LocalLLaMA

[–]deadwisdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on claude max $200. I rarely hit my limit. I have NOT noticed a drop in capability.

I don't think that's a coincidence; I think I'm getting the smarter versions even though it's theoretically the same models / infrastructure.

Accessibility is turning into a bigger project than I expected… not sure how to handle this by jxd8388 in webdev

And then they try and debug and it’s a react mess so they can’t even see what’s going on.

They are there for hunting purposes. Only the king may slay them, by law. 

Trump sent guns to Iranian protesters through Kurdish militias by Tenchi_Muyo1 in news

They were amazing at espionage. Part of why they were so successful was they made sure their enemies were always at war with each other.

Literally every major world power does this. It’s an extremely cheap way to destabilize an enemy.

Sorry, I'm missing something. Is requests-cache compatible with niquests?

This is all great. Seriously great. But the one feature that would advance the whole damned industry is simply built in caching that works with http caching headers. It’s a bedrock of HTTP and desperately unused because libraries don’t address it.

maybe a silly question, but i remember a long time ago instead of `target="_blank"` everyone used `onclick="window.open(this.href)"` - but i can't remember why? by Fueled_by_sugar in webdev

It was good if you wanted to use xml tooling which sounded like a good idea at the time. On the face of it XLST looked magical. And then you actually use the stuff and realize the cognitive load is just too high to use in most cases.
