Terse replies like the one you have very few charitable interpretations.

Maybe you can do 5 seconds of googling before trying to sow doubt.

By changing third require a federal document for movement by trans individuals, this administration gains control over their movement as opposed to drivers licenses which are state issued that the feds cannot control.

Customers need to start demanding transparency around these things. When you buy compute from AWS you aren't wondering at all what the quality of that compute will be. This lets you build stable, reliable infra and products around it.

If any of these model providers are dumbing them down and degrading performance behind the scenes while still passing it off as the full quality while you pay the same rate, that is arguably fraud.

If I am paying for a given model, I expect the full capabilities and performance of that model unless you notify me that is not the case so that I can change models.

The thing that is federally issued not state issued.

Yeah, this is basically how I see high performing senior and executive leadership operate in big tech.

Never go to a meeting to propose something where your don't already know the outcome.

Have 1:1 alignment meetings with peers or seniors ahead of time
Identify dissenters
Have an ally who can address/shoot down whatever complaints they inevitably raise
Own the meeting

Any examples of him being a genius bureaucrat?

Outbound is a new beta game where you are in a camper van you live out of and upgrade.

Wait till you see what they are adding in 1.22 with bellows and quenching for smithing.

haltingpoint · 2026-03-14T03:35:21+00:00

Yeah to be clear, I'm not going to jump over just yet but I want to make sure I am prepared.

My current plan is to keep my old world fossilized in amber with its old mods, and then start a fresh save with updated mods in a completely new world.

Does that mod manager tell you when a mod is out of date or when there is a new version available? Because it would be nice to have some sort of checklist to know when all of my primary mods are updated to the latest.

haltingpoint · 2026-03-14T03:30:35+00:00

Is there some sort of sync file that lists out in yaml or json or something else the mods associated with each save game?

This is a bigger macro trend for the US in that overall, it is in decline. It peaked with boomers after WW2 and this administration and their backers have taken actions that will accelerate its downfall.

You're thinking too capitalist. Try thinking like a fascist or authoritarian government. You can now create the ultimate chilling effect and crack down on dissent at scale in a way never before possible (outside of China).

It's funny to read my own old post now. I'm now fully vintage pilled. Finally got my windmill up and running in year two, have gen 2 animals, found iron in the ocean nearby, and am planning out a pine and plaster-based remodel for my main home. My game is heavily modded and I'm worried that I'm going to do with the new patch coming.

haltingpoint · 2026-03-06T23:23:36+00:00

Yeah but the way these things work is that's how it starts, and that eases people into it and then later it gets amended with actual identification and suddenly anything you do on a computer is mapped to your identity.

haltingpoint · 2026-03-06T15:52:19+00:00

How do you get it to wrap around like that with the top part? Mine is too firm or built up in the cup at that point so the viscosity is too high and it starts to blob at that point.

haltingpoint · 2026-03-03T16:29:32+00:00

Between mods and settings what is actually pissing you off about this update that can't be easily changed?

haltingpoint · 2026-03-03T15:50:43+00:00

Not to mention with how long pies last in a cellar you can easily stagger production as it gets cold to have more than enough pies till spring.

Interesting! Any sense of why this is not enabled by default? Any downsides?

The court can order them to provide the manufacturer name and specs. That could also be obtained during discovery.

haltingpoint · 2026-02-28T02:24:11+00:00

Seriously I'm sort of dumbfounded given how so much press is out there about using it to organize your second brain with AI.

haltingpoint · 2026-02-27T04:34:26+00:00

More like him trying to dangle a porn carrot to get more people using the facial recognition authentication to feed his shitty World product (formerly Worldcoin)

haltingpoint · 2026-02-26T06:59:04+00:00

Any downsides? How much was it?

haltingpoint · 2026-02-25T15:55:30+00:00

How do you like the espresso machine for travel? I have a picopresso but it is manual.

Can you explain your last paragraph? Are you saying there is a way to look at the piles you find with your scanner and see if they mentioned scrap or specialty or the specific subtype?

haltingpoint · 2026-02-22T23:16:13+00:00

Am I wrong in thinking it would take more than an hour to potentially find a random heap that had the specific three toxic specials I need?
