They’re just refusing to be wrong, they’re doubling down on a technicality, not on who actually authors the legislation text.

Oh boy. Have you heard of this concept calling lobbying?

Your politicians don’t represent you, they represent the highest bidder, which are the wealthy corporations trying to enslave you.

So does Plex… It transcodes AV1 just fine.

Clearly their hardware isn’t powerful enough to transcode it smoothly. So they resort to codecs that play natively on their hardware

Jellyfin somehow makes his hardware support AV1?

The Hyundai engineers, technicians, and equipment installers were not teaching anyone how to make chips.

How would they prevent it? If they allow your app to read a value client side, it can do whatever it wants with it, including sending it.

If your app needs to present different behavior based on user settings, it needs to read it.

If you can do it client side, you can send it to a server…

The difference is intent.

IIRC the electric motor in these types of cars is not designed to operate at high speeds, so it’s purely a gas car on highways.

It’s more honest to compare the American education system to itself over the years. Has it significantly improved or worsened over the past few decades?

The strongest evidence-based conclusion is this: the American school system has improved on attainment and spending, but not consistently on academic achievement; and by the most important recent measures, it has degraded, especially for low-performing students. In plain terms, the system became better at producing diplomas and credentials than at reliably improving literacy and numeracy.

Personal anecdotes from someone with ties to academia:

1. Quality teachers are underpaid, overworked, unhappy, and quitting.
2. Universities are more lenient on quality of dissertations, and I’ve been told first hand that professors raised concerns of AI papers are ignored and new “teachers” are graduating with education degrees with significant quality concerns.
3. My local schools are significantly degraded. Halls smell of weed, students graduate with very low critical thinking skills and no plans, they have no clue what’s happening in the world.
4. Universities are hemorrhaging quality professors, and turning to diploma mills at a slower but visible rate.

That ball is way too inflated, it has not been sitting in the sun for over a decade.

Solution in search of a problem?

I have never seen a scam call involving sideloading an app on a phone… Why would they whenTeamViwer is in the Google app store?

Trying to do the same thing living with parents: You try to go to the gym. "Hey, where you headed? Gym. At this hour? Don’t you have a thing soon? Yea, I’ll be quick. You sure? What if someone shows up early? It’ll be fine mom. Ok ok, you’re an adult, I get it. Drive safe.

Wow. Rough life, glad you survived.

Well yes, but Plex started as a port of XBMC to run on Mac os; you installed XBMC directly on the Xbox, it turned your Xbox into a streaming box.

New seasons are pretty good, you should struggle through the few bad seasons but then it gets good again.

I bought my model 3 with fsd in 2019, back when the only thing Elon talked about publicly was the push to increase ev adoption. Always hated the guy, but loved the car. Again this was before he came out as a full blown Nazi.

Not defending him, I think he’s a moron who hired really smart engineers to build a great car. I think his drug addiction and Nazism and stupid decisions have ruined the company, and fuck it I don’t even care about it anymore. Fuck Nazi Elon.

That out of the way, yes. Destination to destination, day or night, rain or shine, stop signs, lights, roundabouts, u turns, merges, overtaking, bridges, tunnels, pedestrians jaywalking, handles it all.

It’s not perfect, while it slows down in school zones, it doesn’t actually read the posted speed sign and goes faster than it should, it does weird decisions and jerky moves at very low speed in parking lots, of the address you entered is not a coordinate of the parking lot, it will pull over and disengage on the road in front of the building regardless of whether that’s allowed there. It does still make some mistakes occasionally, so I never trust it to actually not pay attention, but it drives me everywhere.

Costco slices their ribeyes thick. 3 at ~1 pound each is right around that prime price.

Now what to do about the lazy writer who used AI to write the article and didn’t bother fact check it and make sure the quotes are real?

Fixing the article, weekend or next week, doesn’t address the problem itself.

Exactly, copyright and priority technology means everyone that wants to innovate must first reinvent the wheel and waste enormous energy doing work that’s already been done.

Look at Google photos, since they killed Picasa and exclusively offered it as a proprietary SAAS, they completely stopped innovating for over a decade. Look at immich in comparison, it’s already a better offering and it has only been released as stable for less than a year.

Open source will innovate so much faster if properly funded, without the shackles of copyright and companies holding advancements secret and not releasing innovations on purpose as long as they hold on edge on “competition”. Competition is only important because of proprietary capitalism, remove capitalism and directly reward the workers and innovation happens for innovation’s sake.

Can’t wait for this to be proven in practice, and to be able to apply that more widely to society. Godspeed Europe

The worst dependency hell is when a library has a strict version dependency, and another library uses that same dependency. When the second library updates their minimum version of the dependency to one that is higher than the exact version needed for the first, THAT’S dependency hell.
