Even India assassinated a Canadian on Canadian soil. .

For ARM Linux comparison, I ran the Speedometer 3.0 benchmark the author uses on my daily driver Macbook Air M2 (24GB RAM) running Asahi Linux Fedora Remix 42 (KDE). I used FF 149 which is just what I had installed. It scored 22.0 which apparently was better than this Zenbook and even beat out several Ryzen 7 and Core i7 offerings:

A used M2 Air with my spec mine (24GB RAM 2TB SSD) is $800-$900, which is a fraction of the $1600 Asus wants for their slower unit new, but the Asus does have more RAM.

I like seeing more ARM based Linux laptops.

I’m a product of the cursive handwriting system in school. It didn’t do anything to improve my handwriting in script or print.

They are shitting out what you feed them. If you feed them garbage, you get garbage in return.

This is the missing conceptual understanding that probably 90% of LLM users lack. They really don’t know how LLMs work, and treat them like AGI. Sadly this includes adult policy makers in our society too. Efforts like those of these these researchers act to educate the public. I’m hopeful this will spark some critical thinking on the part of regular, otherwise ignorant, LLM users.

That’s a serious breach of ethics and morals. Feeding false information to an LLM is no different that a magazine.

Hang on. Are you suggesting its unethical/immoral to lie to a machine?

Additionally, the authors didn’t submit the article to a magazine as factual. They posted the articles on a preprint server which can be very questionable anyway as there is no peer review. The machine chose to ignore rigor and treat them as fact.

I give you… “The Grant Money Printing machine!”

Need a grant? Create a disease and submit a paper. Then write a grant asking for money to solve your invented disease.

Is the logic that a Yale grad/Wharton student couldn’t possibly be mentally ill or on drugs?

“Couldn’t” no. Less likely? Yes.

If so, I present the last two republican presidents as counter-evidence.

The Republican presidents have been a disaster for the USA (and the world for that matter), but you’re proving my point that (so far) we haven’t had one literally running down the street naked with a shotgun.

“This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue,”

Yes, its overdue. I support the aim of the EFF mission and also financially, and knowing that some of that goes to supporting the musk platform has always rubbed me wrong.

It’s not a bad question, though. There are strategies to protect your portfolio from economic downturns.

It could be a bad question (from the client). If they are invested for higher growth, that comes with risk. If they’re looking at the their portfolio, seeing a 3% drop in value, and then asking for change it tells me they don’t have the right risk tolerance for the investments they have. This may mean either the broker didn’t listen to the client when the client told them their risk tolerance, or the client lied with how much risk tolerance they had.

Under changes in the tax law, private jet buyers can deduct the full cost of the aircraft from their taxes in the year it is purchased if it is used at least half of the time for business.

So if you buy the jet in December and take a single business trip (and no personal trips), you would have 100% of the jet flights for business in the year you purchased the jet? It looks like you would then get a tax deductible jet for whatever use you want going forward?

“We, along with the whole industry, definitely saw a pretty significant uptick in demand in the back half last year, which we’re attributing to the 100% bonus depreciation,” Shevlin said. “We expect the same thing to happen at the end of this year.”

This looks like it confirms my suspicion.

Also, don’t pretend that the Democrats oppose this war on moral grounds.

They generally oppose it on economic grounds at least. I’ll take the outcome of “no war” even if I disagree with the reason we get there.

I’m assuming Kennedy’s brain worm wants to delay/suppress this report because it is factual evidence against the brain worm narrative that vaccines are bad.

That article is a wild ride!

Naked guy with shotgun targeted Tesla? Nope, just one of many that day:

The man, later identified as 35-year-old Ed Teece, was reportedly “running down the street smashing windows” before he made his way into the Tesla location.

So some drugged/mentally ill person right? Nope:

Teece is a Yale University grad, where he was a member of the 2009-2010 lightweight rowing team.

…and…

Later in 2025, Teece’ began’s profile says he began an MBA program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which he has yet to finish.

So this naked guy was just running around with a shotgun. At least I’m glad he didn’t fire it. Nope:

Police then raided Teece’s nearby warehouse, uncovering “evidence that the suspect had discharged the shotgun” a few times.

There’s a corollary to the OPs premise with regard to web pages.

“I’m not enabling scripts on your shitty, invasive site”

Sure, that the standard for well maintained enterprises. Unfortunately very little of the IT world is a well maintained enterprise. The job that executes the cert renewal goes offline because of a cred rotation, or a maintenance window that ran too long, or the connectivity was cut, or the server was brought down because no one thought it was used anymore.

Are these events recoverable? Absolutely, but when one of these bad events happen in a 12 month period the SSL cert is still valid until the 12 month renewal date. Now with max cert life falling to 47 days you’re loading the revolver with more chances for these to happen resulting in an expired cert.

The best name I’ve heard for the 2000s is “the noughties”, as in the plural of nought, zero.

No, but Vance is trying to paint himself as doing the right thing in this article.

They should totally do this, but sell the naming rights like a sports arena to the highest bidder.

They would also have to be employing/contracting the delivery drivers,

I agree. However, I have no idea how Walmart or Target employs/contracts their delivery folks. Its news stories like this that OP posted that I like to learn about because, while I’ve been aware of Amazon’s practices in this area, I really have no idea how far that extends to other companies.

(I mean, this bill can’t possibly be intending to prohibit Target from using UPS or FedEx, right?)

This is a small part of my question about unintended consequences or collateral damage. Lots of wording in the proposed legislation matches UPS/Fedex. This further means that small urban courier companies might also be scooped up in this law unintentionally.
