A significant portion of Trump’s base were supporters of Bernie in 2016. These people know they want something different, and know they will never get that from Democrats.

Don’t get me wrong, I think they significantly underestimate the harm Trump will cause, and don’t mean to excuse them, but this dynamic really needs to be understood.

Not anymore

Probably one of those old arcade games, allegedly some were not designed to be possible to beat

Maybe a good lesson from the Indians, find a way to use as much as possible from your prey

The search term? What is it?

I occasionally have copy/paste issues, but it’s most often with electron apps as well.

Something that i think is important to understand about this, and while Grey does mention it, its brief and towards the end, is that this framework isn’t unique to governments. These patterns show up in human organization at basically every level.

So I’m going to push back on the idea that

this is horrible and this system should be abolished

Depending on what “this system” means to you.

I think it’s much more useful to understand the incentives at play and build systems that minimize the damage consolidated power can do, and limit the ability for power to accumulate. That is… very much easier said than done, but I think it’s needed effort.

That’s right.

While the video is a good summary of the framing of the book (the selectorate theory of politics), I still recommend reading the book if you find the topic interesting. They go into a bunch of case studies on how you can apply the framing in wildly different circumstances, and make a very compelling case for how increasing the numbers of participants in a system improves the outcomes for everyone involved.

This video, and the book it’s based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to democratic socialist.

Which I think is funny, because I don’t think the authors, Bruce Bueno De Mesquita and Alistair Smith, are particularly leftist.

The keyboard is fine, nothing to write home about. The top plate is in 6 separate bits (on the 16 in anyway) and they’ve got a bit of play, it feels a bit awkward to me, but the trade offs are worth it to me.

Software/firmware has been surprisingly well thought out, including a very clear picture if you try to boot without all the pieces installed.

I’ve had one weird issue with the uefi boot, but that was due to using an old install media, I think.

Fair enough

My only real complaint is that “have an ai do it” isn’t a great suggestion though; an ai wil have the same bias as whoever developed it.

I bought a framework recently. Its not perfect, but I’ve been quite happy with it.

Probably simply that they are done with it (mono specifically, and possibly .net framework in the long run)

Here I thought you were going to bring up the “I’m not a cat” guy

In the end, clearing my shader cache seemed to fix it

In the event someone else runs into this, go Steam>Settings>Downloads>uncheck “Enable Shader Pre-Caching” then check it again

Nevermind, still poor performance

Capitalism

That’s why it gives you a panel of 9 images. It would have a high confidence on some images, and a low confidence on others. When you pick the correct images and don’t pick incorrect ones it uses the ones it’s confident about as “validation” while taking the feedback on low confidence images to update the training data.

What this does mean in practice is that only ones actually being “graded” are the ones bots can solve anyway.

Because it’s supposed to be something else

The interface “running” is one thing, but does it know to run games in wine/proton? Does it know to grab the Linux versions of games if available? Mono doesn’t make that automatic.
