BREAKING NEWS: Guy who sells AI hardware says his employees must use more AI.

Thx for reminding me to delete my .world account.

That's where it shot itself in the foot.

It is not UNIX’s job to stop you from shooting your foot. If you so choose to do so, then it is UNIX’s job to deliver Mr. Bullet to Mr Foot in the most efficient way it knows.

It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.

Nassau County in NY state passed a law this summer https://www.nyclu.org/... YES, there are exceptions for health, religious or cultural reasons BUT they've also used it as probable cause to search someone https://www.nbcnewyork.com/... (it doesn't matter that he was found with a knife. My son wears a mask because he thinks his nose is ugly)

^This. If you make the effort to call, you are very likely to vote in the next election. You won't be able to talk to your representative directly but the aides will relay the volume of calls coming in to them.

Imagine being a CEO of a company and 5000 employees all show up wearing the same sweater. The odds are not in your favor, Chiefs.

I use if__name__main__ often when working with AWS Lambda, but I also want to run it locally. Lambda wants to call a function with the params event and context. So I would do something like this:

def handler(event, context):
    things
    return {
        'statusCode': 200,
        'body': 'Hello from Lambda!'
    }

if __name__ == '__main__':
    event = {}
    context = {}
    response = handler(event, context)
    print(response)

What comparison are you making? $20M net worth to another 56 year old's net worth of a $1000?

Snoop Dogg Calvin Broadus, fixed it for you.

you and everyone else to know

Coming in hot, I see.

gold Standard was holding down inflation

The gold standard was one of the causes of the Great Depression due to deflation. Deflation is terrible for economies and much, much harder to control. Be happy that you can keep your gold, FDR made everyone turn in all their gold (you could keep $100 worth) punishable by $10,000 or 10 years of prison. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102 But guess what happened? Now that the Fed had more gold, they could issue, I mean, printbrrrrr more notes....which allowed more loans to be made, which allowed more industry to happen, etc, etc.

massive wealth disparities we see now are because of the US dollar

Inflation adjusted, Carnegie was worth $300 billion and we were on the gold standard then. What stopped the Rockefellers and Carnegies for a while? Regulation. What is allowing them to come back? Deregulation. Oh and taxes on the wealthy. Ask yourself what Musk had to lose if Trump didn't win?

standard of any kind the quicker things go back to normal.

Wampum? Think about what you said there standard of any kind. We all have to agree something is valuable, for it to hold value. Wampum was beautiful purple shells used as currency. Gold's elemental properties (electrical conductivity, non-reactive, etc) were not known, it simply looked shiny. There's honestly no good answer here, even bitcoin. For example, I still can't buy a coffee with a bitcoin, it must be converted to something else first. What if I'm somewhere without an internet connection? Cash is king.

Property is the only thing in true demand

I can agree with you here. Property "value" has surged twice recently, Chinese investors in early to mid 2010s (I forget why, I'd have to look that one up again. Something about their construction boom had crashed, too much supply on their market, so they turned to the US to invest. Anyway, there was a $750,000 house near me that stayed vacant for 3 years before it was sold for $1.25 million. I looked up the owners on the county government site) and Covid really hurt commercial real estate so they turned to residential/land.

Look no further than wikipedia to provide that information haha https://en.wikipedia.org/...

Pretty sure he impregnated the whole damn country when his pics were posted.

You only need 20 watts of power. One of those dinky fold up solar panels would work. Add a USB power brick for cloudy days.

Whoa. People born around this time will (hopefully) live to the year 2100.

mind be blown.

I was on the Github Copilot Technical Preview (invite in my mailbox says July 16th 2021) and it was GPT-3 (not to be confused with ChatGPT which was introduced with GPT-4)

Probably lazy graphing. I think they're trying to illustrate the difference between top 10 and 20 percent, then threw the others in as collective 20 percent bands. Pie chart might have been better.
