#1. It’s not really a ‘snap’ election, it’s been called within the normal window of calling an election. While things could have got better if he’d held on they could have also got worse. With inflation down to more normal rates it looks like he thought ‘this is as good as it’ll get’

#2. Dunno.

Yeah if you treat it is a junior engineer, with the ability to instantly research a topic, and are prepared to engage in a conversation to work toward a working answer, then it can work extremely well.

Some of the best outcomes I’ve had have needed 20+ prompts, but I still arrived at a solution faster than any other method.

Yeah, talking to some folks on a recent visit to the states. It sounds like there are at least some young voters who would normally vote D but won’t because of Biden’s age that are leaning towards RFK. I don’t think his influence can be easily dismissed

Heh. A much as I think Trump is a grade A bellend, that was actually a decent recovery.

An overblown issue, but this reversal of the video is a way better advert IMO https://x.com/rezawrecktion/status/1788211832936861950

Likewise. Helldivers 2 has proven there’s some life left in the otherwise moribund live service category, by doing something different and most importantly fun.

Somehow I think battlefield will fail to learn anything from Helldivers success and end up churning out another over monitzed, rather dull, addition to the category.

I think auto generated subtitles were to fulfil a FCC requirement, some years ago, for content subtitling. It has however turned out super useful for LLM feeding.

Yeah it’ll come to the Air’s and the Mac Mini at some point. I suspect it’s actually cheaper to make on the new process node (it’s the second generation of TSMC’s 3nm process), so maybe it won’t be too far off.

MKBHD did a video on this. Pretty interesting. https://youtu.be/1KEtxTQUzxY

One of the problems Amtrak is facing at the moment is a lack of rolling stock. The author notes that the California Zephyr was running full. It’s also running a shorter consist that it would have traditionally because of a lack of units. Increasing the length of the consist, assuming the engines can pull it, would reduce the emissions per seat. The ridership demand is there, the investment into Amtraks stock is, sadly, not.

There are two tiers of side quests in cyberpunk. Gigs and full on side quests. The gigs are all pretty short ‘go to place, shoot / rescue someone’ stuff but the main side quests are generally more involved, including all the romance options etc.

The gigs can be skipped without missing much, but skipping the side quests misses a ton of story IMO.
