I think your timing is wrong. AI exploded after the staying at home was over.

ChatGPT was released on Nov 30, 2022, and that is the point when AI came into mainstream (even if gpt 3 or midjourney had been available already). By that point, stay at home restrictions had been gone by about a year, if not a bit more. For reference, the fifa world cup, with full attendance, started 10 days before

yes, but the article is about the embarrasing public transit in the us

not during his inaguration speech, which seems to be the photo. the only thing related to transit he mentioned was free and fast buses

Creative iteration is hard work. if it is only taking minutes, it is because it is not creative. Sure, it is hard to sit down and draw or write or do any work, but the best ideas happen during that process

fatal poisoning from Amanita muscaria are extremely rare. Wikipedia even says: the North American Mycological Association has stated that there were “no reliably documented cases of death from toxins in these mushrooms in the past 100 years”

not that the experience is pleasant, since it can include nausea, hallucinations, and even delirium. (also euphoria and relaxation, so idk)

oh, this is not to pay for health care. it is to sustain the carry trade scam that both the american and argentinan goverment are involved in.

if he is taking requests, i would want to hear Sr Cobranza

feels as relevant today as it was in the 90s

that is just a revolution, not a dictatorship, then.

the difficulty with that, is when to give the power away. obviously you would need to keep it for long enough to make sure that the system will stay in place after you are no longer in power

I think that ultimately, the problem with authoritarian regimes and dictatorships is an efficiency vs resilience problem. Dictatorships are super efficient. There is no back and forth, no debate, no bureaucracy except that allowed to be. This can create an illusion of progress early on, as all those things that were eternally in the future will start to get tackled. The problem is that it is not a resilient system. It relies exclusively upon the dictator and their understanding of the world. This is not a problem in the areas of expertise or if the dictator is smart enough to understand their limits. But at some point, there will be a mismatch between what the dictator thinks is important, necessary, or true, and what really is. Be it ego, being surrounded by yes men, being detached from the general population or a minority group, or anything else, the dictator will make bad choices, and there is nothing in the system that can prevent that.

god, nimbys are so fucking dishonest and stupid. bike lanes increase revenue and create a safer environment. nimbys want to have a worse business in a less safe street as long as they don’t have to take 30 more seconds of unloading their deliveries

we are already overproducing food and throwing it away, so even if there was logic in the idea, it would not actually require additional farming, manufacuring, transportation, etc

Yeah, i remember going to see it mostly because of 3D (which probably helped a lot in becoming one of the most successful movies ever, thanks to the novelty and higher ticket price).

But left so little impact that i can hardly remember anything about it and have no interest whatsoever in seeing the sequels.

The theme park in animal kingdom was fine

it’s funny, because I would much rather do 100F over even 20F. anything below freezing starts to be really uncomfortable; but 100F can be nice for me if its under 50% humidity. above that, and specially about 60% and it starts to be annoying.

but i 100% agree that it is easier to put more clothes to keep the cold away than it is to cool down when it is hot; but i like the toasty

i mean, single digits is also leathal; 9F is much worse than 100F. it is just easier to warm a room than it is to cool it down, but if you had to be exposed to the outside temperature 9F will kill you, 100F won’t

how is “ultra-portable” a positive, when all these phone are the same size, and not even small phones at all?

Nebula is an alternative, it is creator-owned and against AI

Mac owners have money? more like had money

not OP, but according to some of those definitions (cambridge, collins, longman), NYC would be the only metropolis in the US, as it is the US’ largest, busiest, and most important city.

Phillip is Dick (surname)

Milei is a dick (asshole)

Wow, what are the chances! Our president is also a dick
