Vivaldi is not open source

Quit it with the Vivaldi ads, it's closed source and based on chrome. Go away, stop shilling.

Property tax is the big thing that forces people to engage with capitalism against their will.

Without property tax, you could live off-grid for eternity. But with property tax, you always have to earn money, and the people that control that money therefore control you.

Voting isn't enough. We need a plan B and it will take hard work. We need capable organizers, physical security, mutual aid, economists, doctors, and more. If that's you, please consider joining the DSA.

Conservatives have stacked the system in their favor through gerrymandering, coups, politicized courts, voter intimidation, and at times outright fraud. Not to mention that many Democrats vote alongside Republicans in favor of the oligarchs.

Vote, yes, but also please help us make a society that renders oligarchy obsolete.

I feel enlightened now that you called out the self-reinforcing nature of the algorithms. It makes sense that an RL agent solving the bandits problem would create its own bubbles out of laziness.

Maybe we can take advantage of that laziness to incept critical thinking back into social media, or at least have it eat itself.

Yeah this is a common issue with docker. If you can get away with running the underlying tool without docker I would almost always recommend that instead.

I disagree with most people here. The interview is the most important thing, so build it from scratch and make your own libraries. You will learn how to design good APIs which will make you infinitely more likely to get hired and promoted too.

Microsoft is more evil and has been doing this in Bing Chat since the beginning.

To say it's "completely incorrect" is an exaggeration at best. The paper you cited is far more nuanced than that.

 

"Google has announced plans to store Maps Timeline data locally on users' devices instead of their Google account effective December 1, 2024."

"The development is part of a series of changes the company has enacted in response to allegations that it misled consumers and illegally tracked their movements despite turning off Location History from the account settings by taking advantage of the non-obvious Web & App Activity setting."
