"i never wanted to fill out those spreadsheets anyway"

-if you're using AI to do work that no human ever wanted to do, that's what technology is for
-if you're using it to do stuff that humans aspire to do, that's bad
-if you're using it to absolve ethical responsibility, that's evil

pretty easy

I'm saying if you can't afford to pay the actual transit system, you also can't afford to pay the guy holding the gate.

In Europe kosher and halal slaughter is prohibited in the name of "safety"

A lot of things, but coffee comes to mind (as it so often does)

This is also a maximalism problem, Newsom's record on trans issues is (as I understand it, being neither trans nor Californian) bad, but not 100% bad. There really is a difference between that and "does not see Nazis as bad"

Christians think money is inherently profane, I think. So when you *must* bring money into it, you have to be euphemistic or otherwise perform shame about it, and anyone who is matter-of-fact is looked at with suspicion

I'm guessing he's applying a Christian understanding of money as inherently profane to non-Christians, and then castigating them for not being Christian enough

Ah, ok. But still, getting to a stage where making/changing the software is possible—in the sense of being able to handle the board—feels like more of an obstacle for me than making/changing the software. That's just a matter of doing the reading

"Just" is doing some lifting there, to be sure

Though also, as a hobbyist, I'm willing to sacrifice a certain degree of the benefits of automation for reasons orthagonal to my assessment of the utility of automation. If the automation were the hobby I'd have different priorities

Step 1 is the part that would entail the most difficulty, because neurodivergence; I assume you're being Socratic but not adverserial, so I don't want to anticipate you, but I feel I could muster meds and strategies and just do the reading if this is something I wanted to do

4. Print the body (and control housing) and write the code based on my research in step 1

A Cybertruck, which is a type of car

3. Design the body. This requires the least research, because I know what a car looks like

(2½. Long walk at a steep grade to the subway. This only gets a separate point because I broke my knee in Nov 2019 and for obvious reasons never finished physical therapy)

To build a car now (well, this week, since I have a day job): 1. Learn enough about programming and electronics to determine what hardware I need (board, transmitter, receiver, motor, things I don't know about yet)
2. Obtain that hardware, and 2 kg of PLA since I'm there

This AI ad on the train that claims their product can produce insights without engaging with any data?

But I don't have an MBA, maybe what I understand an "insight" to be isn't what it actually is

The obstacle is my ability to get at the software in there, not my ability to manipulate it, which is easy to learn how to do if I put the time in

And yet you can afford to tip the guy holding the gate. Or do you mean "poor" the way conservatives mean it?

I misjudged because it didn't occur to me that the Trump admin would be *that* unable/unwilling to do anything about it

(Also I didn't know I'd almost certainly already had it)

Yup
bsky.app/profile/cali...

there are still people who imagine that if Things Get Really Bad, Trump somehow leaves, & I must say that I don’t think that’s a great theory of change.

Pretty sure IRA projects had signs crediting Biden

Does he rent out storage units at least?

Maltese is the inverse of Ladino, Yiddish, Urdu, Persian, etc: those are all IE languages written with (the glyphs of) a Semitic abjad, and Maltese is a Semitic language written with the alphabet of an IE language

It's one thing for me to prefer doing it the long way when I'm the one who bears the consequences of that. I would never tell someone else to do that

They opposed Park51 too

Oh, well, you can't expect the ADL to take an interest in the Leo Frank ca– hold on, I've just been handed this note

Where's Adora Belle Dearheart when we need her?

The challenge there is that whales are already in water most of the time

I assume in Israel the history of Jews/Judaism is considered to significantly overlap the history of the state, and the Torah is considered part of that

Is it too late to specifically not request this?
