yes. I’m not even that smart of a person but i’ve been coming to the realization that the average has been dropping for my entire lifetime

As an American, I’m glad that at least someone is willing to take a strong stance like this

She’s 97 and made 10 times too many errors the first time, and over 6 times too many errors the second time. This is exactly why we need ongoing driver education and qualification

Socks and shoes. I can’t find anything big enough for my clown feet at retail.

Russia has the propaganda machine that got Trump elected. I’d be (pleasantly) surprised if their citizenry was able to meaningfully resist

Do I think it’s generally useful? No, not at all.

But for very specific purposes it’s worth considering as an option.

Text-to-image generation has been worth it to get a jumping-off point for a sketch, or to get a rough portrait for a D&D character.

Regular old ChatGPT has been good on a couple occasions for humor (again D&D related; I asked it for a “help wanted” ad in the style of newspaper personals and the result was hilariously campy)

In terms of actual problem solving… There have been a couple instances where, when Google or Stack Overflow haven’t helped, I’ve asked it for troubleshooting ideas as a last resort. It did manage to pinpoint the issue once, but usually it just ends up that one of the topics or strategies it floats prove to be useful after further investigation. I would never trust anything factual without verifying, or copy/paste code from it directly though.

the court ordered Wikipedia to disclose who made these allegedly defamatory edits to the ANI page

… Isn’t the edit history public, though? They should be able to determine the IPs/users who are responsible for the edits.

I don’t know how the Indian legal system works, but then if necessary you would try to compel Wikipedia to turn over contact information for those users, as with a subpoena in US law.

…

…

After looking over the article, Wikipedia has turned over user info to that effect. ANI is mad because they weren’t allowed to edit their own page, essentially, which is disallowed on Wikipedia in general because of bias.

The hearing began in July after ANI petitioned the court, saying it had tried to change the allegedly defamatory material on Wikipedia but its edits were not accepted.

The ANI page was put under “extended confirmed protection” - a Wikipedia feature used to stop vandalism or abuse - where only users who have already done a certain number of edits can make changes to a page.

I have no idea if it’s an aged sauce. Regardless, I meant it was opened many many years prior

It feels like something in the genre of the paradox of tolerance, where the most empathetic and pacifistic people are the people best positioned to remove shitters from the gene pool responsibly

It separated out to half clear vinegar and half… Red

You had to shake it back together but if anything it was even hotter than usual. It was wild

Vinegar based hot sauces are basically immortal; I’ve had Tabasco that was like 10 years old before

That’s actually really cool!

I seriously hope you got the job.

That sounds suspiciously like doing actual work for them.

What a beautiful blitpost

You’re kidding me… I was discussing whether his actions meet the definition of a crime and therefore whether the established legal punishment would be appropriate. As others have commented he IS an American citizen (from 2002) and there’s no question of jurisdiction here. Although treason is a very high bar (despite mounting evidence) and it is much more likely that he could be got for sedition under the Smith Act or something.

I disagree with your decision. I think your effort would be better spent focusing on the folks actually advocating for vigilantism.

you are probably better off taking it to a computer repair shop to have the issue fixed or replaced, for peace of mind and probably liability reasons

Raspberry Pis and other microcomputers can be had for pretty cheap, and they can be put to a surprising variety of tasks. You need to be a bit of a jack of all trades to fully embrace that DIY element, but I’d bet that showing off a project that you mostly built yourself would be seen as futuristic by most people.
