To anyone that hasn’t yet seen the movie Idiocracy, watch it now. Best documentary you’ll ever watch.

I recently saw another lemming call LLMs “spicy autocomplete” instead of AI which seemed appropriate given that calling it AI, while technically correct, I think leads some people to think that the LLM is intelligent. I plan to use that terminology.
A key thing about the API is that moderating gets harder when the apps that moderators use to streamline/facilitate their work suddenly stopped working. Those apps relied on the Reddit API. These were created by and for the moderator community out of necessity.
Moderators had asked Reddit for tools and when Reddit didn’t provide they built their own. Then Reddit switched off the API without offering replacement tools.
That’s likely the primary reason that Reddit’s mods left and its content took a nosedive.
Each state is different. Per this article, NE is going up by $1.50/hr to $12 this year with more raises following each year for a few more.
I miss the days where you’d find $40 12 month PS Plus subscription deals. Since the recent price hikes I’ve been subscriptionless and kinda miss the free games.
These are used for billing drivers when they enter an Ultra Low Emissions Zone.
This somewhat recent law might make hiding behind shell companies more difficult:
Finally a proper shower thought in this community haha.
I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Hopefully the dentist is alarmed at this failure and reflects on ways to avoid it in future procedures.
She probably saw from your eyes and expression how stressed you were. You might have looked a little “wild-eyed” to her. She barely knows you so she wouldn’t know with confidence that you behave well under pressure.
I suggest that you leave a message informing your dentist of what happened here regarding insufficient pain management. You can include an apology if you want for seeming stressed.
The goal here is to inform her that she can do a more thorough job managing pain. Part of that needs to be telling her patients to speak up as soon as they begin to feel pain. I’ll bet that had you told staff of the pain they’d have found a way to manage it. Probably the Dr would have popped over and dosed you with something.
Here’s a podcast where the first handful of episodes lays out what it’d look like if a civil war were to happen and why the author thinks there’s a reasonable chance that it could happen.

The 2006 video documentary “Idiocracy” covers the results of this phenomenon.
Interestingly, there are video campaign ads on YouTube for 2024 presidential candidate Dwayne Camacho.
CyberArk is a commercial product that attacks this problem space. It puts an agent process on the host next to your app. Only processes whose fingerprint matches those authorized to access a credential are allowed to fetch it. That fingerprint can be based on the host (known list of production hosts), the os user ID that owns the pid, the path to the executable for the pid, and probably a few more items.
Under that model your app just needs to know the environment that it wants (inject however you want) and the userid it wants to use. At runtime it reaches out to the local cyberark agent to obtain the password secret.
We’ve seen his lawyer go to prison before and that pattern may repeat here. We’ll just have to see whether he ends up seeing the inside of a cell along with them.
After a dramatic filibuster effort earlier this year NE changed their abortion law to a ban that starts at 12 weeks.
