Idk… lotta people on mics in pre/post-game lobbies in Splitgate for it to be bot matches

What’s wild to me is that legal segregation was like, not that long ago at all. It always feels like it’s taught as ancient history but it was only half a lifetime ago, really… and still ongoing. It’s not like this happened a thousand years ago and “you should really be over it by now”, this was the experience of some people’s still living grandparents and parents.

The idea that an entire demographic of people should magically recover and be equals again after like 30 years of half-assed “equality” after literal generations of slavery is fucking wild.

Absolute goblin energy to not recognize the ongoing effects of such a recent thing.

It doesn’t even make me mad, I’m just scared and confused

New account pushing a confirmed-to-be-false narrative only backed by Russian orgs and far-right politicians? It’s more likely than you think!

I cannot recommend the book “Escaping the Housing Trap” highly enough. It talks a lot about the funding and financial products around housing and some of the fundamental flaws in the system. It’s quite easy to blame institutional owners and they’re certainly partly at fault, but it’s vastly more complex than that. It’s a really great scary read that genuinely had my mouth hanging open at times.

Tech people tend to be very black-and-white when discussing ideology. Reality is more forgiving.

If you can get your hands on it, the opening chapters of “Practical Event Driven Microservices Architecture” by Hugo Rocha gives a reasonable high level view of when you might decide to break a domain out of a monolith. I wouldn’t exactly consider it the holy grail of technical reading, but he does a good job explaining the pros and cons of monolith v microservices and a bit of exploration on those middle grounds.

The reality is, as always, “it depends”.

If you’re a smaller team that needs to do shit real fast, a monolith is probably your best bet.

Do you have hundreds of devs working on the same platform? Maybe intelligently breaking out your domains into distinct services makes sense so your team doesn’t get bogged down.

And in the middle of the spectrum you have modular domain centric monoliths, monorepo multi-service stuff, etc.

It’s a game of tradeoffs and what fits best for your situation depends on your needs and challenges. Often going with an imperfect shared technical vision is better than a disjointed but “state of the art” approach.

Yeah, it’s kind of a measure of randomness for LLM responses. A low temperature makes the LLM more consistent and more reliable, a higher temperature makes it more “creative”. Same prompt on low temperature is more likely to be repeatable, high temperature introduces a higher risk of hallucinations, etc.

Presumably Google’s “search suggestions” are done on a very low temperature, but that doesn’t prevent hallucinations, just makes it less likely.

Depends on the temperature in the LLM/context, which I’m assuming google will have set quite low for this.

Wait did beehaw fall off? I have two accounts, one here and one on beehaw. I actually made my sh.itjust.works account because beehaw defederated from some instances with communities I wanted to keep and now I use both semi regularly. Mostly lurk though.

Loving that the only dude who posted valid legal precedent in the same jurisdiction is getting down voted.

And then Lemmy users will complain how ass Reddit is for exactly this lmao.

Military aid packages are typically reported in USD (“10 billion in military aid”) but usually involve the direct transference of equipment (logistical or frontline) to the foreign country. Usually those countries are existing allies of the US (or at least friendly) and are probably already buying NATO/US gear.

I’m relatively confident that the US doesn’t typically give USD earmarked for US manufactured weapons systems.

Wut? The US government doesn’t pay other countries to buy US weapons. Those countries typically fund those purchases from their domestic defense budget. The US government just approves or denies the exports.

Exceptions are “military aid” which is case-dependent.

Are you under the impression that the US government pays those 100 countries to buy US made weapons? Or directly sells those weapons themselves?

“It’s Brittany, bitch”

Can’t relate tbh.

Because when the average person hears “the government owes x Billion Dollars” the assumption is “they will be handing over X billion in cash”. It’s like the Ukraine military support - people hear “3 billion USD in military aid for Ukraine” and think the US is handing over 3 billion dollars, not handing over about 3 billion worth of old soon-to-be-retired equipment.

Which makes conversations about government debt really fun. It’s just a lack of understanding.

Zizek is based as fuck, even if you don’t agree with everything he says his books are really good

I think it’s because the meme itself is the wrong way to try to make that argument. Instead of just saying “the US has 22% of the world’s aggregate prisoner population and that’s a problem”, it’s making that argument by directly comparing it to a MUCH WORSE regime for that exact violation of rights.

The whataboutisms tend to be bristling at the bad comparisons more than a direct refutation of the underlying point being made. I think complaining about the whataboutisms misses the point of those replies, which is valid.

As the other poster said, why not compare with Scandinavian countries that genuinely do have better justice systems rather than comparing with USSR or CCP which have much worse justice systems?

Yea the US could sacrifice zero dollars in defense budget and still provide adequate service to the population. Healthcare is cheaper when it’s not being profiteered by insurance middlemen, and private companies pricing is really hard to influence directly without something like a price fixing lawsuit.

But hey gotta maintain the “democrats are just as bad” image.
