I remember touring a chemistry lab in college and one student asked the panel of chemists how much LinkedIn mattered in their industry and they paused until one chemist asks “what is LinkedIn?”

Pickles veggies are made by just leaving veggies under brine at room temp, I am sure they had some form of that.

I wonder how clean the clothes looked, however. Clothes can be well worn but still appear clean and taken care of. There is a difference between "this is my favorite shirt" and "these are my grubbies I use while cleaning the house".

I prefer to ask people what they do for fun when looking for something in common, as opposed to what they do for work.

Some people are recently laid off, and asking what they do for work might sting a bit.

The actual framework: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/03.20....

Some wild stuff in here...

> States should not be permitted to penalize AI developers for a third party’s unlawful conduct involving their models.

So if your bot creates CSAM you are off the hook because someone else supplied the prompts...I wonder who got into his ear for this one.

Surely an electronic wrist watch is fine, and maybe an mp3 player. Also graphing calculators.

Moving is incredibly expensive. First+Last month rent up-front, plus a deposit equal to one month rent up-front. That could total around $10,000 up-front costs if you are targeting a major city.

Conversely, having quality utilities in smaller communities could incentivize the building up of those areas and they would become less rural.

If you took the time to throughly learn an engine, would you spend so much time wrestling with it afterwards?

Imagining what someone looks like in your mind is far different than actively sharing fake nude images online. This cannot be a serious comparison.

As well, if you run an aarch64 VM with virtualization there is essentially no lag. It runs great. I have an Alpine Linux one on my M2 Macbook Pro.

We had a nuclear deal with them, which was ripped up by the same man currently in charge of the US.

Go-Pro on forehead? Thats what outdoor enthusiasts do. If you need to make room for a headlamp then pin it to your jacket maybe.

This is just made up bullshit. Pete could list this info with examples but instead just hand-waved excuses.

The government declaring a domestic company as a supply chain threat is a tad more than “refusing to do business” don’t you think?

I ignore Google quite easily. Besides, as soon as Trump is out they will change the name back.

Paramount has a lot of problems right now, financially. Maybe Netflix plans to buy them both in the next few years after those issues come home to roost for Paramount.

This is great, but there is no way for me to verify if groups or nation states can pay for a special contract where they do not have to have their outputs watermarked.
