Claude’s Network moment arrived sooner than expected

Gemini switched from banal classic rock host (“here’s a classic that needs no introduction,” before playing The Beatles’ “Here Comes the Sun”), to cheerfully detailing tragic events like the Bhola Cyclone, which killed an estimated 500,000 people, and pairing it with a themed song. (In this instance, “Timber” by Pitbull and Ke$ha.)

Perfection, no notes.

Yeah, pretty much. I have a friend in a state with very similar laws to Indiana. They had bought a DDM4 and was on the range with it later that day. There’s only 13 states that mandate a waiting period.

2A just short for second amendment rights, part of US constitution that prevents the government from broadly restricting firearms access.

Felonies are the “big” charges (murder, arson, drug trafficking etc.) That’s a scenario someone’s second amendment can be restricted. Misdemeanor charges are lesser (petty theft, speeding ticket) and not something that would cause a restriction during background checks.

Edit- to get into the American mindset, invert your understanding of how it “should” work. In most of the world people have to earn a weapon license and prove their responsibility with it, if firearms are even available to the general public. In America everyone can have a gun by default until they’ve committed a crime that causes restriction on an individual basis.

It’s illegal to not use an FFL in the exchange and sale of a firearm.

Buying new, yes, but this is not true for private sales (in most of the country)

If so, does that mean that practically everyone of age who has no recorded mental health issues and/or criminal history can just work around with a gun?

This varies by state and even by city, but at a basic level yes you got it. Specifically they are looking for felonies on the record, people with misdemeanor charges usually retain their 2A rights.

no same day purchases

Again varies by state, but somewhere like Indiana the background check is like a 30 minute process. You can browse the ammo selection while you wait for it to clear.

In this recent case it seems the store did a background check, further in the article it mentions that was an undisclosed straw purchase with the gun then handed off to a felon.

Clearly the store has documented issues, but I’m finding it difficult to pin the blame here on anyone but Olivia Burgos for falsifying the paperwork.

Personally - I’m not buying the game. Krafton still owns the studio, and they’ve done nothing to make the situation better. Court mandated remediations aside, krafton tried to abuse these devs and steal what they were owed. They’re still working under a hostile parent company and likely will become a skeleton crew in no time.

Best case scenario unknown worlds can use the money to split themselves into a new studio.

Yeah, the judge reversed the layoffs and reinstated the Unknown Worlds team, and now they’ll get the bonus. But yes very awkward all around.

What do you mean if true? They went to court and produced the ChatGPT logs that Krafton CEO used to strategize how to get out of paying the bonus.

I have a kit very similar to this sunfounder picar I built a couple years back, maybe something like this? You’ll need a raspberry pi for it, but no soldering or anything like that is necessary.

It does support AI, though I’ve only used the OpenCV abstractions - it’s up to you how much you want to integrate. The motors and sensors are adequate, it has no problems moving under its own force. The included test tools use a web interface, you can build additional functions on those for “desktop” support. And it supports Python or Scratch but I’ve never personally tried the scratch side of things.

Edit - I found an article that goes into more detail around building and programming experience of this specific model.

Old reddit still has screens and moderation tools that haven’t been rebuilt. It’s kept on life support for mods right now.

Is there anything to imply the stock market actually gives a damn about external/macro cost pressures? Its like all fundamentals are out the window. At this point the companies are comfortable cranking their prices to offset any incurred costs at a moment notice, customers are used to seeing it. They’ll roll their eyes, bitch a little, and buy the product anyway.

I have to think there will be a tipping point when people straight up can’t afford things, but right now there doesn’t seem to be a tangible ceiling.

I’m trusting the authors on this one. Samarium-cobalt is undeniably a chinese monopoly, that’s been discussed for some years. Now the combat is accelerating china’s timelines.

Starters?? You fool, those are regional legendaries! Do not approach them! You don’t have the skills!

Chaplin and Hitler come to mind, but I think a big difference is politicians traditionally believe they are above petty spats with comedians. Trump, being the giant narcissist bitch he is, can’t help himself but engage.

Heh, there actually is space between the surface and ocean floor where the show does act like they are underwater, but yeah it’s a silly cartoon that often doesn’t subscribe to rules of reality.

Woah, you got it… I never noticed how similar their laughs are

I’ve seen an amish man get arrested driving drunk in his buggy. I don’t know the impound procedures for that one, but I know he didn’t make it home that night. You can get a DWI on a bicycle, if they wanted.

Nah, most brands have customers that treat their car like an appliance. They aren’t interested in a shared culture around their car. Jeep specifically cultivated that culture through “its a jeep thing” advertising, and it’s since taken on life of its own. Some other ones I’ve seen though

VW owners will throw up peace signs to other owners. Especially popular with Beetle drivers.

Mini cooper owners act like golden retrievers and start flashing their lights and wiggling the car when they see each other.

Subaru WRX/STI owners leave each other little bottles of vape juice
