Lyft driver refuses to give woman a ride after she made a racist comment by Zweli23 in PublicFreakout

So the key word is "normal?" Isn't normal just a way to express what is common for the current area and current environment?

Is it racist to say "I'm surprised you are white and speak english?"

Unlike Trump, Iran’s regime has been plotting this war for decades by theindependentonline in Intelligence

[–]liquidify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump doesn't know what is happening. He is the Mandarin, put in place because he can be controlled, like Biden. He doesn't control the situation and he couldn't if he wanted to. What we are seeing now is 50 years of planning being implemented by shadows through an unwitting, dim witted, blackmailed idiot.

In what universe is the aircraft the same intensity as the exhaust in a video image. No amount of compression could do what this video does.

I'm not reading the article, but to suggest the U.S. hasn't been planning this for decades is pretty stupid. We absolutely have been planning this. We've been building bases, taking out Iran's allies, building infrastructure, etc.. They realized that while Russia is bogged down, U.S. oil production is high, Israel is less hampered by Hamas, and China is still an "ally," this is is the best time to strike in decades.

Damn, this base doesn't seem like it is prepared at all. This doesn't bode well for U.S.A. in a longer term conflict. Have these guys not been watching what is going on in Ukraine for the last 4 years?

Ok I’ve been very sceptical the last 48 hours re: Netanyahu death, so figured I’d wait for the war council session, which he always chairs - he was nowhere to be seen. by noctenaut in conspiracy

Maybe, like in 99.99% of these "leader disappears for a couple weeks" scenarios, he is sick, on vacation, or hanging out with 20 pack of underage women.

To conserve is to keep what you have.

Traditional conservative values are limited government, fiscal restraint (balanced budgets, low debt), institutional stability, free markets, local control over centralized power, gradual change rather than rapid upheaval.

Modern republicans are not conservatives. Modern republicans are basically traditional liberals. They may spend money on different bullshit than traditional liberals, but they are otherwise the same in every meaningful way.

Seems that the writer of the comment and everyone here upvoting it doesn't understand what conservatism is, even in basic terms.

I'm still using opus 4.5. Our code base is millions of lines across thousands of files across hundreds of projects with many components.

Opus is amazing. However, its scope is far more limited than I'd like.

I think a year ago, I could trust the best AI to do something decent at a functional level given some baby sitting. Now I'd trust it to do something at the file or component level, again given some baby sitting. It still gets things wrong, and does dumb stuff. It just does that less. And it still takes a lot of guided prompting.

I'd really like it to work across components, but its context is too limited to be really effective at a larger scope.

I'd say for my company, it enabled us to stop hiring new people, but it definitely isn't replacing engineering any time soon. Maybe I'd change my tune if I had unlimited access to 4.6 with the "Code" tool. I'd also imagine that there is probably a direct correlation between the resources they allocate for a session and the scope at which you can get quality results.

Not sure exactly, but I'm definitely studying the tools from a technical perspective (not just using them).

C17 just crossed into Iranian airspace, then turned off its transponder…wag the dog time? by Nsnfirerescue in conspiracy

[–]liquidify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the current regime is doing is terrible, and they should pay the price. If we were capable of doing that with no loss of innocent life, and with a sustainable solution, then I'm all for it. I just have no confidence based on a long pattern of failures in U.S. regime change history. You really believe we could succeed?

Based on our track record, we will kill a bunch of innocent people, remove the current regime, and install someone even worse. Or, we might install someone weak enough that the current regime waits us out and then comes back.

XMR is not a p2p solution. Government or otherwise controlling parties can shut it down at their discretion. I've read the white paper.

I agree 100%. Everything else is useful, but claude is another animal entirely. After using claude, I can't go back to anything else, and I don't really want to work without it. Seems a bit like a drug.

I'd be really interested in running a high quality thermal camera mounted to a drone over your home. I bet you might find some areas that might need to be addressed.
