The general election is two weeks away. What are people voting for in Georgia today?

They could have, but that doesn’t mean that Starlink couldn’t do a lot more to catch them at it. You’re making excuses for a fascist.

Are you saying that geolocation of a starlink unit is difficult from the starlink satellite network? That seems unlikely to me.

Starlink has no reason outside sanctions to give a fuck where their payments are coming from

Do you see a moral dimension to this? Keeping technology out of the hands of an aggressor state is an excellent reason. I think that many people feel that because corporate entities behave like criminal organizations (indifferent to anything other than maximizing their own profits) that this is somehow OK. It isn’t, and normalizing isn’t acceptable either.

… And that’s the same year I graduated high school…

Same

Pluto was discovered because the orbit of Neptune didn’t match predictions, so astronomers decided that there must be a ninth planet out there. It was very close to where the math predicted it would be.

It turned out later that Pluto was much, much smaller than at first thought, and couldn’t be the 9th planet. It then turned out that the mass of Neptune was greater than expected, and the orbit actually matched expectations without the need for a 9th planet.

Enough that I can code in pretty much anything. I think the typing point was when I coded professionally in my 4th or 5th language some time in the early 90s.

I’ve tried paid versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. I am currently using Gemini, and it is working reasonably well for me.

I mostly use it to replace searches. I haven’t used Google in years, but mainly relied on DuckDuckGo until SEO made it less useful. My secondary use case is for programming. I tend to jump around to a lot of different languages and frameworks, and it’s hugely helpful to get sample code describing what I want to do when I don’t know the syntax.

Once in a great while, I will have it rewrite something for me. That is mostly for inspiration if I want to change the tone of something I wrote (then I’ll edit). I think that all of the LLMs suck at writing.

I think that we’re talking about the same thing. When I read those articles curated by Google news in my mobile browser, I have never, not once, had audio play. Maybe try Firefox mobile?

The video (you can skip to the last five or 10 minutes of it to get the gist of what I’m talking about) says that the discrepancy isn’t unexplained. It’s point is that the different models depend on a large number of variables, and one of those variables is the size and brightness of the first generation of stars in the early universe. Tweaking that part of the model can explain the discrepancy. (According to the video.)

Interesting. I use Google News as well, and I have never had audio play. I tend to use it on mobile, and my default browser on mobile is Firefox. Specifically Firefox in private browser mode, so I don’t have to worry about cookies.

I use Firefox on the desktop as well, but not usually in private mode. I also don’t ever have video autoplay that way. I’m not sure why. I don’t think I installed any extensions to turn it off, but I might have tweaked the browser settings shortly after installing.

Thanks for creating it!

That’s kinda hilarious. I was looking for cannabis related communities too. Believe it or not, I haven’t had any cannabis today, either. 😄

I’d use Lemmy Explorer to find communities that interest you. The link I just shared is sorted by subscriber count, so it should show the most active communities at the top.

I tap them and blow on them before I put them back into their case. In case there are any little ear wax flakes. I don’t tend to have much in the way out of ear wax.
