Do they think that's real light?

On one hand, you'll now be able to break laws with impunity.
On the other, Trump will destroy all aspects of your life, beyond measure.
Pigs at the trough.

I see a problem if the deposit is less than the value of the battery. If the deposit is equal or exceeds the value of the battery then it is exactly the same cost as if you bought the first one. I suppose you could say you get the money back when you get rid of the car, but that means cars have to be sold or scrapped without a battery which makes them much more difficult to move around.

Thank you. Absolutely the idea that this would be useful for privately-owned vehicles was a scam to try to make EVs sound bad. It is patently obvious that any serious proposal from a company actually intending to make money was to swap batteries in FLEET vehicles. Not private cars, if you think that then you have bought lies from the anti-EV people.

Wayland intentionally sabotaged focus-follows-mouse by making clicking on a window raise it unconditionally. Gnome did the same thing (for a while there was an option to turn off the raise, but they made it also ignore any requests from the program itself to raise the window so you could not actually rearrange windows except by closing and opening them again).

There does appear to be a large faction that wants focus-follows-mouse to go away and will do anything they can to achieve it.

Actually even the big republican states will not give up their power to make the 48% of their population that is not Republican count as Republican votes. Democrat states do support this because it would be a gain for Democrats overall, but I'm sure they would be against it if the population of other states was minority Democrat.

The Epstein files are full of both Democrats and Republicans (and probably every other political party you have heard of). Nobody in power was ever going to push for their release, since it would be full of implications for themselves and their friends. The side *not* in power will push for the release, safe in knowing that it won't happen.

It seems like they are coming up with a fake release now. Purposely-obvious redaction will discredit it and even exonerate those who are shown, and foot-dragging will not be fought at all seriously.

I saw something that might work: make the districts elect 5 representatives, using proportional representation. This would keep the politicians local, which Americans appear to like. This does mean about 5 parties will be in congress, not more, but judging by what happens in Europe it would not be much different, any fringe party is forced to immediately merge with another and there seems to be about 5 already.

I think this also makes gerrymandering very difficult, though it might be best to just outlaw it. Districts are drawn by a computer with the only rule that they be as compact as possible.

Actually it would work if the electoral votes were proportionally allocated in each state according the popular vote in that state. This would actually result in the same winner as the popular vote in every presidential election in history. The problem is not that somebody in Wyoming has 4x the voting power of somebody in California or Texas. The problem is the fact that the winner in a state gets *all* the electoral votes. This means a member of the minority party in California or Texas has -1 (NEGATIVE 1) voting power, in that their existence adds to the population and thus the electoral votes that go to the candidate they are against.

That would be my question. Who is fronting for this guy when he's required to go into the office?

And all Epic/Unreal products should be free, or a few pennies, a nickel at most.
It's only fair.

I'm wondering if their new model performs better than the experimental aftermarket upgrade:

In California it's $15/day. And it doesn't include the first day.

It's an actual "AI" related term. It was just very short lived.

"A 2023 McKinsey Global Survey revealed that 7% of organizations adopting AI had already hired Prompt Engineers, indicating early adoption of this role across various industries, and Anthropic were advertising Prompt Engineering roles with salary offers as high as $375K â" which didnâ(TM)t require in-depth technical knowledge or even a tech degree.

It was touted as the job of 2024, and a year later, research suggests that the role is no longer attractive to companies. Per a recent survey commissioned by Microsoft, 31,000 workers across 31 countries were asked what roles their companies are prioritizing, and Prompt Engineer was ranked second to last among new roles companies are considering adding in the next 12 to 18 months."

"The Rise of Prompt Engineering 2020â"2024

When generative AI burst onto the scene, prompt engineering became an essential skill for anyone looking to leverage AI to its fullest potential.

Early on, AI models like GPT-3 and GPT-4 had limited capacity to understand vague or unstructured input, which made prompt engineering a specialized skill to ensure the AI generated the desired output.

Slight variations in wording, phrasing, or structure could result in drastically different AI responses, and organizations quickly recognized the potential of prompt engineers to maximize the power of these models.

Tech companies and startups recruited prompt engineers at a rapid pace, and soon bootcamps and certification programs emerged to cater to this new demand."
