"COVID is not over"

ok but the Spanish Flu (H1N1) is not over yet either.

Do people really think it's appropriate to wear masks for the rest of their lives?

edit: if I am going to a place where there are immunocompromised people I am happy to wear a mask.

> Tiktoker attacked for bad financial decisions

>> bought a Chevy Tahoe for $84,000 at a 10% interest rate with payments of $1400/mo, still owes $70k+

>> bought a truck for nearly the same price, payments of $1600/mo, still owes like $80k

>>> reveals she doesn't know why, she likes her Audi better

holy fuck who are these people? They're funneling ALL their money into cars. No appreciating assets. No savings. They're living paycheck to paycheck, hand to mouth just to fucking have some cars to impress their friends?

And she doesn't understand principal payments vs interest payments, or how compounding interest works, etc

Using an LLM to get a poor quality answer to a question is much less of a waste of resources compared to running a full size oven to cook a frozen pizza

~1.2kWh for pizza (2400 watts for 30 mins)

1.7Wh for an LLM query. So you can ask ChatGPT 705 questions before you've used as much energy as it took to preheat and cook your DiGiorno Rising Crust pizza

> Florida governor vows to outlaw CBDC if the US authorizes one

Is that even possible? States can't create their own currencies so if the Federal government decided to completely eliminate cash Florida citizens would have very limited access to their dollars.

@antranigv

This basically provides an API to jails, so I wonder how hard it would be to make it work with terraform. Could get a lot of renewed jail interest with that

This is great, we've now created a culture where people think they can recognize AI generated text and are accusing anyone and everyone. It's a total leopard-ate-my-face situation.

The overreaction created mass panic and outrage and now we get to suffer through a stage of false accusations that will do nothing to impress skeptics

Nothing because we didn't have social media to spread rumors across the planet. What were we supposed to do, post it on our Geocities page and write an ICQ/AIM bot to spread conspiracy theories?

Even then half the planet was still on dialup

Literally nothing terrified me more than a giant student loan, so I cancelled my dream of going to uni for compsci when I was in high school. It wasn't possible and my dad was recently disabled so it's not like my parents could help. I was able to get a grant for a vocational school and took an IT networking course, total student loan I had to take out was $8000 paid back many years ago.

I'm fortunate things worked out. How big is your student loan balance?
