Trump skips FBI background checks for controversial cabinet picks – report
  • Moves to cut out the FBI appear to be in line with a pre-election memo drafted by his legal advisers and fits with Trump’s enduring suspicion that the agency is part of what, without evidence, he believes to be a “deep state” machine within the federal government bent on undermining him.

    Trump administration does something obviously illegal and unethical

    FBI: "Hey, that's illegal, you can't do that."

    Trump: "Look at this deep state organization trying to prevent me from doing my job"

  • You know what would be cool? If all those (job name) simulator games could all be joined.
  • Ive played in a few of these. It's an absolute blast once you get your settings dialed in and balanced to everyone else. If they're not, then the player in the smallest game tends to have a lot of downtime.

    The only downside is that the participants need to be familiar enough with their chosen game to do a randomizer which means roping in casual players is difficult.

    Also, there are a massive number of unsupported games that you can play like this that are not part of the main website. https://multiworld.news/apworlds.html

  • The inedible desiccant for this pill bottle looks too similar to the pills
  • I suppose this is true. If you somehow don't feel the difference in your hand or in your mouth, you could swallow it by mistake.

    On the flip side, The contents of that plastic container are just silica gel beads made for consumables so it should be mostly inert and pass right through. They say "Do not eat" on the package, but they're not especially harmful if you do. The biggest risk is an intestinal blockage if you eat too many, but this is not likely to happen with a single mistake

  • This would be a double edged sword. Without regulation, the ISP will work in whichever way grants them the most money.

    This means that they probably won't go after copyright claims unless the rightsholders pay them first, but they will ramp up data collection efforts to sell to brokerage firms and will also engage in rate-limiting on high-bandwith use cases like streaming or torrenting unless you pay extra.

  • Google CEO says over 25% of new Google code is generated by AI
  • While introducing bugs is certainly a risky side-effect of AI coding, the history of software development has included controversial changes in the past, including the transition from assembly language to higher-level languages, which faced resistance from some programmers who worried about loss of control and efficiency. Similarly, the adoption of object-oriented programming in the 1990s sparked criticism about code complexity and performance overhead. The shift to AI augmentation in coding may be the latest transition that meets resistance from the old guard.

    Stepping away from assembly did have that effect though. The tradeoff was that code was easier to make and easier to optimize, but its undeniable that it did lead to a loss of control and efficiency.

    Similarly, the shift to object-oriented programming also increased performance overhead, but the tradeoff was that you can seamlessly reuse code which makes larger projects more manageable.

    The article is right that AI coding is probably here to stay, but all the disadvantages that people are highliting are real concerns that won't go away, they'll just be adopted as the new normal.

  • Damn StarWars Fans!
  • The worst possible thing to happen to any series is the fandom taking things too seriously.

    Sometimes its okay to have a series of silly movies about space wizards. It doesn't need to to have any deeper meaning.
