Ive been telling people that Trump will pull an Andrew Jackson because in reality the judicial branch of the government has NO enforcement mechanism for their rulings.

They have to hope the executive branch will play by the rules and follow their rulings.

Roberts and his justices gave Trump even more unchecked power when they rule the president cannot be tried for official acts (leaving only impeachment as a means of punishment).

He must not be any sort of history buff because he would know the power of the judicial system is stripped away and becomes a superficial system that is used to punish those in the “out” group when a state turns to fascism or a dictatorship.

Roberts is truly a dipshit and a clown.

And to think this is only going to get worse with each passing year we do nothing about climate change.

I had a similar experience where we had an entire class for Novell Directory Services. The reason our teacher gave for keeping the class in the curriculum? We MAY run into it in the workforce.

Considering the recent revelations about the shady, scummy and unethical business practices by Honey, I can’t say I’m surprised that one of the co-founders is doing more shady shit with their new endeavor.

The biggest obstacle with Stadia suceeding was Google’s, rightfully earned, reputation to kill their products.

It ended up becoming a self fulfilling prophecy and has further cemented Googles reputation for killing products/services.

Google’s M.O these days seem to be “If it doesn’t make money instantly, kill it and move on.”

Ya, that is sadly the most likely outcome of all.

It’ll send a message to the masses that you won’t get your day in court for crimes against the ruling class, but you will still get a sentence… a bullet.

Even if the FBI does catch this guy, the Feds are still gonna have a helluva time trying to cobble together an impartial jury, not to mention alternatives. One question will eliminate a large portion of the jury pool…

“Do you currently, or previously had UHC as a health insurer?”

I could see this case having a hung jury or even seeing jury nullification occur - though it’s highly unlikely for nullification to happen.

The Feds will put ungodly amounts of pressure to accept a plea deal.

Edit: added the missing ‘y’ to ‘currently’ and added a space between ‘previously’ and 'had

It’s all good, we both clarified our* thoughts on the matter and to be fair using “ruined” instead of “ruining” or “started to ruin” indicates a completed process or final state instead of a continuous one.

I agree that previously one could construct a search to sort the noise out, but as you stated this has become unfeasible without a sharp increase of queries needed to refine results which has shifted the thought from questioning if Google search is bad to now generally accepted belief - to the point where people are trying to quantify and provide evidence to back up the claim.

*Fixed typo of ‘out’ to ‘our’

Public in this term has nothing to do with intelligence, but rather people outside of companies working on AI/LLMs or doing AI research. It’s why I mentioned it entering the zeitgeist.

I never mentioned a hard cutoff but said they ruined it before LLMs were in use by the general public. Essentially I’m referring to the starting of the degradation of Google’s search which they made conscious decisions that deliberately put profit above all.

Avid Amoeba is right that Google ruined their own search before LLMs entered the public consciousness (this does not mean LLMs didn’t exist before this, but that they were not widely available for the general public to use or became part of the zeitgeist).

If you don’t agree please listen to the Better Offline podcast episode “The Man That Destroyed Google Search”. The episode goes through the rollbacks/changes Google made to their search Algorithm well before AI was commonplace.

These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline

Hear me out Putin, but what if you didn’t toss everyone who can fog a mirror into your meat grinder of a war? No? Wait why do you want me to stand near the window?

I use DBeaver at work when I am having problems with psql commands in terminal. It’s prevented me from pulling out my hair a few times.

Unfortunately they are already in the market and making a mess: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/21/crowdstrike_linux_crashes_restoration_tools/
