So I looked it up and as I thought, the core basis of sorting for reddit is based on a weighting algorithm looking at thumbs/comments. People suspect that other information, like locality are used to (hence you typically get posts in your language), but there is supposedly limited user based info used in the ranking of posts (people generally see the same content on r/all)

What I was hypothesising is that reddit wants to get rid of r/all so they can create a more tiktok/Instagram like feed based on individual user behavior. Both to make the app more addicting and/or have greater control/influence on what you do/don’t see.

In this economy?

It’s amazing what tariffs and uncertainty can do to an economy.

You do realize that means they are live driving the car, maybe not 100% of the time, but waymo is having unlicensed drivers operating vehicles on US roads.

Additionally, this means they have people in another country taking over the cars when things failed and are potentially in a dangerous situation (where the ping might be a bigger issue).

Overall, we get big corporations able to skirt laws and pay people less money.

Oh wow, I didn’t realize how crazy race/ethnicity can get in Europe. I figured the term must be overloaded, but how do you even define/track ethnically German?

Your comments on over policing of marginalized people though is definitely a good call-out.

It was $51k for a used car.

If it was new I could understand, but that much for a used car is crazy. I’m guessing she had to buy when used car prices were almost the same as new, but I feel like that’s still a lot.

How are they defining “foreigner” here, cause non-German citizens accounting for a 1/3 of all crime sounds really high and concerning.

To be honest, having a third of your population be immigrants sounds crazy too. Even in the US it’s only about 1/6th the population and half of those are naturalized citizens.

So is this so they can force an algorithm on you to show you content? Sounds like they want more direct control over what “new” things people see.

I think you uploaded the wrong picture, that’s clearly a toad.

What a company says and what a company actually does are not the same thing.

Thanks!

Ive been blown away at how well GameNative works.

Out of curiosity, how comfortable is the Thor? I’ve been tempted to get it, but been waffling between it and the Odin 3 (for the better processor).

I played the prequel (at least it looks like it’s tied to this game) called Demon Turf. The animation was really interesting and the world building was cool, but the platforming itself was only okay and some of the boss battles just felt broken. Hopefully they learned from that game to make this one even better!

Delivering food has a cost and is a service. Before things like doordash you could only get delivery from select locations, by creating a network of drivers you can now get delivery from most restaurants.

Does doordash exploit people and restaurants, yes. However, providing a delivery service is not rent seeking there is something being offered.

Doordash isn’t rent extraction though, and is a system that benefits from a singular platform. That doesn’t mean Doordash is the best implementation of that service, but the example isn’t good.

If Europe really moves away from big tech and new trade deals are made around the US, then those gains will be short lived.

Yeah, taxing retirement pay to pay for retirement Healthcare sounds a little circuitous.

Not good that they didn’t identify a way to replace that funding when changing things (as is the republican way), but can understand the argument of not taxing Social Security.

He’s hurting everyone’s wallets, there are only so many diversions and Lies you can get away with while peoples wallets are empty.

Whats amazing is he took over after Biden had more or less fixed inflation (yeah, wages were still catching up, but it was more or less solved). He was handed a golden opportunity to push his policies if he just laid off the tarrifs. Instead he’s taken a fairly solid and growing economy and decimated it in a year.

The only thing I can hope for is that some people start to recognize republicans are terrible at managing the economy.

Just for awareness, Google Translate is based on LLMs. Translation is actually why LLMs were initially made and you won’t find a better method for translation (besides hiring a translator). The thing you’re looking for is an LLM only for translation.

The RNG in the game can be a bit rough. Sometimes you’ll know the answer to a puzzle, but you’ll have to wait a couple rounds before you can actually solve it.
