My bank still raised my mortgage by 20% because apparently they can't set up an escrow properly and apparently that's my problem now.

This just happened to me, it's because insurance for the year jumped 30%. 🤯 I don't like it, but it's difficult for the mortgage company to predict that kind of shit. You can change your insurance, and I went looking, but everything I found was even more expensive.

Trump loves crypto now? Oh that will guarantee a win.

Can't. Google shanked them all with anticompetitive behavior. So instead, I think I will do all I can to punish them for that.

Epicuro is a good example of why God doesn't exist: the universe doesn't make any sense if God exists. It's nonsensical if you try to place any intent on it. If it's simply the chaos of the physical order of matter, then it makes more sense. It's still bizarre that anything should exist at all, but at least you don't have to do the mental gymnastics required to justify its existence in the face of an all-powerful deity.

I think where it shines is in helping you write code you've never written before. I never touched Swift before and I made a fully functional iOS app in a week. Also, even with stuff I have done before, I can say "write me a function that does x" and it will and it usually works.

Like just yesterday I asked it to write me a function that would generate and serve up an .ics file based on a selected date and extrapolate the date of a recurring monthly meeting based on the day of the week picked and its position (1st week, 2nd week, etc) within the month and then make the .ics file reflect all that. I could have generated that code myself by hand but it would have probably taken me an hour or two. It did it in about five seconds and it worked perfectly.

Yeah, you have to know what you're doing in general and there's a lot of babysitting involved, but anyone who thinks it's just useless is plain wrong. It's fucking amazing.

Edit: lol the article is referring to a study that was using GPT 3.5, which is all but useless for coding. 4.0 has been out for a year blowing everybody's minds. Clickbait trash.

Ah yes, the old "do criminal shit and then when you're held to account for your criminal shit, scream loudly about how they're trying to 'silence' your voice" routine. We know it well.

No, not really. The thing is, Johnson is exactly like MTG only not completely fucking stupid. He knows you cut deals now so that you can still be around when MAGA-world needs a sure bet to attempt to overturn the 2024 election results (only if Trump loses, of course).

"Botched" implies that this was done by mistake. This wasn't done by mistake.

Denying yourself any semblance of joy and slaving away for 14 hours a day until your health is totally fucked - and he's in his 20s! Oh but he scraped up an extra 60k.

I dunno about you guys, but sign me up!

Can they not anonymize these jurors due to Trump's threatening behavior? Sequester them? For fuck's sake, he's putting their families at risk. Why's he got to be in the courtroom for the selection process? Why do reporters have to be there? This is bullshit.

Why would the Democrats do this?

OK, you're right and I really hate that paradigm. But didn't I hear something like these boats being led out of the bay are under the control of local crew (not company crew) until they get to open water? Also something about doing this without a tug escort? I wonder if there is more to this story other than yet another bad corporate actor.

Memes won't change what will happen. He will get a stay from an appeals court, they will reduce the bond to a fraction of what it was and he will pay it and suffer almost no consequences

Edit: oh hey, I can predict the future would you look at that

Yeah, this is my 65-year-old aunt. Never got covid she says - and yet she's been sick more than once since 2019. She just never tests - so she never gets covid! Easy!

This is the increasingly stupid part. The fuck are they gonna do when Christ gets back? He's a straight up communist, they have no use for him. Hmm... I wonder.

It's not even about him, they bury this in a story about class struggle so they can repeat the narrative that the NHS is "in crisis," as if it just magically happens and not because politicians are purposefully crippling it.

This is all good and well, until a 2008 happens. That's why strategies like this are only reliable if you have generational wealth to start with. You have to be able to withstand massive risk.

Gosh isn't it strange, conservatives never saw a war they didn't like until the one that's inconveniencing the Russian president in 2023.
