    oh, i get it now. the reason for docker is because it's literally easier to bundle an entire operating system than a single python package

    the bot pulls the latest image from a random camera, but this camera was never deregistered, so every few weeks it reposts its death image

    no one is brave enough to say it, but if your goal is to reduce travel time, you want to speed as much as possible in low speed limit areas (schools, playgrounds, etc). doing 35 in a 20 zone for 1mi saves 1m15s doing 70 in a 55 zone for 1mi saves only 13s

    *highway* speed limits are too low residential and city-center speed limits are often much higher than they should be, but speed is better regulated by street design than by tickets

    the mindset of β€œthe computer should not do things i specifically ask it to do, it needs to have a little thought police man inside to stop the bad thoughts” is bizarre and i am glad that the proliferation of uncensored models is drawing it out

    I’ve been testing the implications of the Grok AI model. So far: 1. It has given me instructions on how to make a fertilizer bomb with exact measurements of contents as well as how to make a detonator. 2. It has allowed me to generate imagery of Elon Musk carrying out mass

    the humanities are so watered down that any sufficiently motivated stem student could wander into a 400 level english class and easily pubstomp the liberal arts noobs and as a society i think we need that for both the good of humanities and stem
