I would guess that she’s trying to separate the voters from the representatives, so that when someone calls out a republican politician for being racist, they have a harder time convincing their voters that she was calling them racist as well.

Right now it seems like people see their political party as their identity, there are both democrats and republicans who do it but I’d say it is far, far more common with republicans.

You can, and should, hold your representatives accountable when they do bad shit, regardless of whether you voted for them or not, and if your party starts standing for things that are worse than another party then you should change who you vote for.

It’s a long road to get back from this division in the US, but I hope there’s a future where it’s possible.

DC actually has a higher “let go” threshold than AC does so you’d likely be more okay from a slightly higher voltage DC shock than a lower voltage AC shock.

I’d just like to note that a lot of storage technologies that are currently in the pilot project stage are based on using components with existing supply lines to minimize the time and effort needed to scale up production.

What do you mean AC “lets you go”? AC causes muscle contractions which keep you from, for example, letting go of a live wire.

Not sure if you’re joking but

Both Toyota and Samsung have vowed to begin mass solid-state battery production in 2027, and Toyota, too, advised that it will be installing them in premium electric cars under the Lexus brand first.

From the article.

I think the idea is that the play order for the entire playlist is shuffled on each loop, so you play all songs in one order, then it shuffles, and you play all songs again but in a different order.

Yeah, a lot of editors throw warnings for using the equals operator with floats by default, as far as I know it’s considered bad practice to do it that way.

Well, the ship was towed outside of the environment.

At least Spotify and Apple Music don’t

Spotify does have an application for Linux, if you’re gonna harp on about facts you should at least stick to them.

Problem is when you get passed because other people aren’t driving legally. Even if it’s the flow of traffic, you’re still technically not allowed to break the law.

maybe we should not be building our world around the premise that it is

I feel like this is a really important bit. If LLMs turn out to have unsolvable issues that limit the scope of their application, that’s fine, every technology has that, but we need to be aware of that. A fallible machine learning model is not dangerous; AI-based grading, plagiarism checking, resume-filtering, coding, etc. without skepticism is dangerous.

LLMs probably have very good applications that could not be automated in the past but we should be very careful of what we assume those things to be.

I would just like to give props to you for owning up and listening to the information. I do not in any way think that you were wrong in your reasoning, just that there was more context that is likely relevant which you hadn’t been privy to, and once you were informed of it you reevaluated. Not everyone does that and I think a very valuable part of this community is when people do that (I know I’m not always particularly good at it myself).

literally killed xmpp a decade ago

This was Google/Alphabet.

Why?
