I mean, you’re just replacing one archaic symbol with another.

I had someone swear to me that Github templating was better, but I’ve only worked with Gitlabs templates. Why do you like Gitlab over Github?

Supply Side Jesus!

I was going to ask how this is different than a Reinforcement Learning algorithm but then they called out Deep Minds Alpha-Go

Yeah, I wasn’t disagreeing. My point was that the norm was not getting an indictment on a grand jury was embarrassing and hurt someone’s career. This disincentivized prosecutors from repeatedly bringing a case to a Grand Jury. But Trump and his cronies don’t care, breaking the norm, and will keep pushing to get what they want.

Yeah, just another destruction of norms.

My point is Trump can keep brining it to a Grand Jury cause it effectively costs him nothing. It only takes one grand jury to indicate and then Trumps political enemies (Comey/etc.) are forced to pay legal fees (amongst other things).

Yeah, except that dealing with a legal defense costs a lot of time and money. So even if they can’t convict they can use the courts as a means to punish.

Really shows how much our legal system needs an overhaul to prevent abuse like this.

I assume because it’s cheaper and easier, but I was surprised to hear that too.

Not sure how real this survey is, but they say 83% of households do a fake tree.

Yeah, I think it’s the combination of things. Breaking personal property is pretty much universally frowned upon, and if he’s breaking car windows he was just as likely to hit a person.

Not sure if that’s enough to be deported, but it wouldn’t be an outrageous outcome even in the past.

I suspect most people aren’t buying it as a daily driver, but as a gaming device. I don’t use my steamdeck for computing (although toyed with the idea) for example.

Yeah, that’s what I was trying to get across. Either you have to do a lot of research or youre doing a “pre-built” configuration. At that point what Valve is offering is at least equal to other pre-built concepts.

I feel like the biggest thing everyone always overlooks is the amount of researchyou need to do to build a PC. Understanding what motherboard, ram, cpu, and gpu will let you play the games you want is not very clear, especially now we have AMD making good cpus and Intel making Gpus.

The naming conventions are all over the place and the specs on what’s best and what’s compatible is opaque at times.

Building the PC is easy, but making sure you didn’t waste your money by buying a motherboard that won’t work on the next generation of chips or you misunderstood the 10+ gpu models distributed by multiple different distributors is also easy.

My point was the investment in vs the value out may not be worth it for many projects. Beyond that, it may not be maintainable for all projects (at least with how fast things have been changing in this space and the heavy reliance on 3rd party systems to make it work).

While you’re right that it’s a new technology and not everyone is using it right, if it requires all of that setup and infrastructure to work then are we sure it provides a material benefit. Most projects never get that kind of attention at all, to require it for AI integration means that currently it may be more work than it’s worth.

Object Relational Mapping can be helpful when dealing with larger codebases/complex databases for simply creating a more programmatic way of interacting with your data.

I can’t say it is always worth it, nor does it always make things simpler, but it can help.

I mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is “low” as in not running a lot you can turn it “up” so it’s making things colder.

While I’m generally pro regulation, that’s not true. You can absolutely over regulate an industry or put out regulations that are bad.

For example NIMBY regulations that prevent multi-family units from being constructed or in NJ breweries can’t sell food (due to weird alcohol laws/regulations).
