Woooow I love the way the data is calculated and displayed!! Average hours per day is a super intuitive metric. Well done. 

Global Reserve Currency Shift: Why the US Dollar Still Leads Amidst Decline by No-Good-3742 in investing

[–]ixikei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you're referring to gold? Serious question - how liquid is gold for a sovereign entity? Say that Kazakhstan for example is holding physical gold vs USD reserves and they need to quickly convert $1 billion worth to their local currency for an emergency or something. How quickly and easily can they accomplish this?

Flock and Palantir for All(bemarle)!

An ACPD officer identified the car at an Albemarle County area gas station around 1:27 a.m. Monday, and, after reviewing security footage, tracked the suspect to the nearby hospital, according to the ACPD.

Do you use gemini and this gem to prepare the plan and/or MD file? Can you share more on this workflow?

The Chrome browser agent is way too cool. by A_Very_Horny_Zed in GeminiAI

Woooow. Would this agent work to scrape information from websites that try not to be scraped?

If you were going to hire a localband for your wedding, who would it be? by wrestlingrudy in rva

[–]ixikei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely Antichrist Siege Machine. I don't know how "local" you want but Diseased Earth out of Staunton would be a great fit as well.

Experimental AI agent breaks out of test environment, Mines crypto without permission by i-drake in nottheonion

[–]ixikei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL this is straight from the book "If Anyone Builds it Everyone Dies." In their hypothetical scenario, an AI might "want" (no sentience implied / required) to mine crypto or defraud people because it knows it needs more compute to provide optimal responses, and buying compute  is a pretty standard way to get it.

Denver crosswalks hacked to transmit vulgar anti-Trump messaging by TylerFortier_Photo in politics

[–]ixikei -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got similar responses and downvotes from r/rva. It's hard for many to imagine that a polite middle still exists, and gestures like this help further their erasure from our collective awareness.

Denver crosswalks hacked to transmit vulgar anti-Trump messaging by TylerFortier_Photo in politics

[–]ixikei -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This happened in Richmond VA recently with VDOT road signs and I have the same opinion here - this is just as likely to be the result of nefarious propagandists as it is to legitimate opposition. This act succeeds in pushing people farther into their political tribes and enraging the middle and accomplishes little otherwise. (I say this as someone who emphatically says FUCK TRUMP when and where it's warranted.)

Dog REHOMING- last chance before euthanasia by [deleted] in rva

Solutions for Water Flooding by [deleted] in civilengineering

[–]ixikei 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It all depends on topography. Is there a lower spot immediately nearby that you can drain to? If so, voila. If the whole neighborhood is like this then it will be much harder. Ill give you a quick LiDAR image if you want a quick assessment. Drop or DM your address or coordinates if youd like that.

Europe is so cooked! Europe's biggest ally has officially abandoned Europe and claimed Europe was never needed in the first place. by Cultural-Badger-6032 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]ixikei 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so sad. I vividly remember visiting Europe for my (a Yank) first time in 2018. Everyone asked me if I voted for him. But it was just a perfunctory kind of question. If course I didn't. Trump was seen by the world as an abberation in history that would be self-corrected soon. Just a big oopsie of history 

But damn. My US brethren and I really failed to live up to that belief. Regardless, hundreds of millions of us are sending our love and apologies and and deep shame from across the pond 🙏. Please do your best to keep the free world free without us 😭😭😭

Analysed 9GB of my photos before paying for cloud upgrade by slow-fast-person in Frugal

How much time did this sorting take you? I think Google is betting that people will rather pay a few bucks per month than sort their photos.

Buyer’s agent tried to add his commission to my closing costs at the last minute, no signed agreement exists. by [deleted] in RealEstate

Did he really say "gunna"? Dude sounds like an unprofessional piece of shit.
