In one of my 300 level poli sci classes, literally one of the first things the professor said is that in politics, everyone running for office is a power-hungry narcissist. It’s only a slight exaggeration.
That type of person is at every level of politics. I’d wager that if you could get data on the real motivations of every person who has ever run for office, you’d probably see the same amount of those people at every level, from school board to president.
Apple’s fate is to be the American Sony
You can have it generate shitty code and then compare it against examples it finds online to iterate that code. Also, it was trained on the whole internet, including those good solutions, and can often reproduce them on its own. but you have to tell it, explicitly, to do all this to make better code, rather than just asking for the code.
Car horns should come with a time limit: you can only use it so much per day. Then people might actually use them correctly. It’s not a rage button. It’s a safety device.
I live near the former Holmdel Bell Labs complex. It’s an amazing building. It was sadly left in disrepair for decades until a developer bought it a few years back and turned it into a corporate office space with a mall at the ground floor. I got my Covid shots there.
This is one of the problems with using country TLDs. They look cute, but when you buy it, you may not realize who controls it. Lemm.ee is similarly in a precarious position.
I really wish we could all agree to stop using country TLDs for this
I’ve been practicing this. In 30 years when computer input is primarily voice and touchscreens, we’ll be the only ones left. It’ll be like knowing how to use Morse code with a wireless telegraph.
I promise I wouldn’t lie about this incredibly lame claim to f lame
I’ll let you know when I figure it out
They sell your data and don’t feel bad. Why should you feel bad about selling your data?
True story: I created this meme on r/adviceanimals back in the day. It had a ticker I made at the bottom of the image that’s been cropped back out (it was Reddit-themed and specific to the memes happening at the time so it makes sense someone cropped it at some point)
This interview makes me wonder what’s going to happen after he’s gone. You could say that he’s set up whoever succeeds him for a tough act to follow. But no one necessarily has to succeed him in any way.
Thanks for the tip! I’ve been looking for something like that. It’ll save me a lot of frustration
I’m working on a similar project right now with zero coding knowledge. I’ve been trying to find something like langchain all day. I built (by which I mean I coached GPT into building) a web scraper script that can interact with the web to perform searches and then parse the results, but the outputs are getting too big to manage in a hacked together terminal interface.
How are you doing the UI? That’s what I’m finding to be the biggest puzzle that isn’t fun to solve. I’ve been looking at react as a way to do it.

Did it dump a disk image on your desktop? Click it and it’ll open a finder window. Grab the app icon and drop it into your applications folder.
Also I second the commenter who said install Linux on it. You’re going to need to hack it together anyway, may as well get the latest software in return
Well you managed to get the username aidan@lemmy.world before me, so that’s something
The iCloud support app? I’ll say it if you won’t. Apple needs to be shamed into doing something about that
Working at the morgue must have been tough
His tweet says it was his campaign and personal email, both of which are separate accounts from his house.gov email. But he probably uses his personal email for work
