Threatening to pull funding from rape kit investigations to get bully people into funding a domestic paramilitary squad is so on-brand for Republicans.

If I had a nickel for every Republican Senator with a mystery illness, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice.

Disclosure: I don’t know the full lore and I’m only answering because nobody else has.

My vague understanding is that this is unique to the ‘196’ community which has a community rule that every post must include the word “rule” in the title post. So it’s super common to see because it’s an active community. Beyond that I don’t really understand what the community is about as it seems to have a random variety of posts.

And just to be clear, the budget was 38 billion, and this increase makes it 38.6 billion, a 1.6% increase.

Isn’t inflation currently like 4.1%? So this is not even a budgetary increase commensurate with inflation? Clowns.

I was a bit concerned he had abandoned his previous campaign promise to build at least one new house until I made it to the last point. #VoteBinface

$20B per year? That’s wild given that we have reportedly been spending $1B per day doing god knows what in this Iran war.

Got to have your priorities I suppose. /s

Trump, wearing a hot dog suit: We’re all looking for the guy who did this!

I thought that Anthropic et al. were charging enterprise accounts based on token usage rather than just a flat subscription fee. That’s why you see things like this.

Sorry if that’s true. I understood the word to mean aggressive growth at any cost to try and shut out competition before they can get established.

OpenAI and Anthropic will collapse in the next years

Stop, I can only handle so much good news!

I’m slightly optimistic that manufacturers will return to the retail market eventually. Every AI company is racing to hyperscale right now but there will be a point where the infrastructure is built and at that point the growth will slow down quite a bit. In that scenario there will be ongoing demand for components to be replaced as they become obsolete but I can’t imagine the demand will be the same level it is right now as everyone rushes to build.

That’s assuming this all works the way they want it to. If the economics aren’t viable and the bubble bursts…

Ok but it would take 70 users paying $200 to cover the cost of $14,000. So if one person maxes out their usage, there needs to be 69 users who do not use their account at all but are still paying. And that’s just the break even point, still no profit for the AI company.

I’m struggling to believe that many people would pay that much and then underuse the subscription. It seems far more likely to me that this pricing model isn’t sustainable.

Thanks for sharing that was an engrossing read. Like most of these situations it looks like there was significant system failure leading up to the event. You’re absolutely right he should have been removed long before this.

Yep, you can actually see what seems to be a microphone pack clipped on the bottom of her shirt.

If that doesn’t scream “unscripted” I don’t know what does. /s

He demands to know how she could possibly justify such an obscene display: “I would like to hear how you would explain to my children what you’re supposed to be.”

In the photo she is clearly dressed as a cop - how could he not recognize this?

Can I get this on a t-shirt?

Maybe we are running different software versions then because on my Model 3 I have it set to cruise control instead of FSD and it definitely lets me go above the speed limit. I have it set to default to speed limit when activated but with the right thumb wheel I can adjust set speed up or down. I’ve included a screenshot of my settings in case it’s helpful to anyone.

There is a setting in the menu where you can deactivate autopilot/FSD yourself and instead have a normal cruise control function.
