The government is not one person. Are there members of congress, state and local government with whom you align? Do you think they will be more able to have a positive impact under Trump or under Biden? I’m all for criticizing Biden and the Democratic party. I recognize the cynicism of the “lesser evils” cycle we are stuck with when it comes to presidential candidates. I recognize the unfairness of the “if you don’t eat the Dems bullshit and vote blue you will be complicit in creating a fascist state where women don’t have bodily autonomy.” It feels like we are being forced into accepting the Democratic party based on a threat. I won’t be threatened. But I will also not make things worse for people out of personal frustration and discomfort. So Biden is another neo-centrist. We know this. And I’ll vote for him again because the politics I actually support will have a better chance of doing some good than if I don’t vote for him. You can say I’m giving in to the Dems threats but I don’t give a shit. Our country has failed to deliver good candidates but I’m not gonna take my ball and go home.
Exactly. My concern is the lurid and sexual details will only serve to undermine the seriousness of the law he broke. As long as these gross but legal details are making headlines, the less coverage his actual crime gets, which his team will gladly accept.
I’ve been working through this on my old 2012 Mac Pro. My issue has been my graphics card. In that era any non-mac graphics card won’t give you the boot-screen you need to choose which OS to use, or even to choose a USB boot for installing the Linux os. I got Refind (a super light bootloader) to work with a bit of extra tooling. You can also use opencore, but that is more challenging and makes a lot more changes.
Why? No worse than any other job market right now. Sure Google layoffs get headlines but it’s not like tech skill are getting any less employable across sectors. If anything those skills are more critical now than ever.
What indications do you see of “too much AI safety?” I am struggling to see any meaningful, legally robust, or otherwise cohesive AI safety whatsoever.
