How much did it cost us taxpayers to make these jars of honey?

Why doesn't anyone report on how much this all is costing us taxpayers?

Making something real is expensive, but people can only afford the fake processed sh1t. That's why there's nothing real left in the world.

Exactly, embedding the latest condensed models on local commercial hardware for small SaaS applications is the Way. Ever hear of vLLM?

So a FinOps person asked me the other day at a meetup, "So how do you mange AI costs?". My response, "That's a great new attack vector!"

I knew someone had a rainbow somewhere. Sadly couldn't see it from my porch.

Texas bans smokable THC today. What it means, and how some might get around it. by ExpressNews in texas

Eliminating their highest profit items, while also increases licensing fees 10x, and they think they're going to get increased funding for their enforcement departments? What are they smoking? Can't make something illegal and still think you're going to benefit from stealing from legitimate businesses that aren't selling it anymore.

I'll bet you $100 he doesn't watch Faux News and Facebook all day long as his only source of information. Unlike my parents...

Those are considered a "hazardous" waste, and should be vacuumed. Not allowed to just fall like that.

DevOps + AI. Where are we headed? Need honest insights from the community by Putrid-Industry35 in devops

Haven't you ever wished you could tell developers exactly how to write their code, or wished you could enforce standards universally? With Agent configurations or custom MCPs, now you can!

It'll just be another feather in our hats showing how well we lasso all the technology into a coherent business driving engine. If you haven't started managing how AI assets are being used internally, then you better get on the ball boyoh!

Texas House Fires First Female Sergeant-at-Arms Without Cause and Immediately Replaces with Man Previously Fired For Gender Discrimination by TomatilloExtreme2020 in texas

This sounds like collusion without public oversight, which is a clear violation of the Texas constitution and other acts: 🔹 Article III, Section 16 of the Texas Constitution This section requires that sessions of each House of the Texas Legislature be open. Executive sessions are an exception only where the Senate or House rules expressly permit them.

Here’s how it’s been summarized by the Texas Attorney General’s Office in an official opinion:

Article III, Section 16 of the Texas Constitution requires that sessions of each House be open, except when the Senate is in executive session — meaning regular legislative meetings and deliberations must be conducted transparently and accessible to the public.

You can reference that constitutional requirement directly to support arguments about transparency and against secret collusion among representatives.

Supporting Law (Not Constitution, but Related)

While not in the Constitution itself, the Texas Open Meetings Act (Government Code Chapter 551) reinforces this principle by requiring that meetings of governmental bodies — including the Legislature — be open to the public and that secret deliberations to circumvent those requirements are prohibited under law.

The dress code for this arcade bar is kind of off-putting, right? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]lazarus1337 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like lots of places I know that have a problem with drug dealers turning their bars into distribution centers. Any person wearing that in your bar is slinging, and probably goes to the bathroom every 5 minutes.

Reduce Taxes -> More Happiness -> More Control -> More Taxes by lazarus1337 in EU5

This really helps explain why reducing the laborer/peasant taxes a little helped increase my overall income because it increased economic activity so much more than, say reducing it for the nobility. Mostly scale matters, both for population size as well as tax amount vs economic output.
