This could be survivorship bias or whatever. States without much pro-gambling culture among residents will probably not have legislative representatives coming up with state laws that at some point codified legal sports gambling to begin with.

Well my approach is:

• Mark off every candidate who did not bother to provide a statement
• Mark off every candidate with no listed volunteering experience in the little section for it
• Mark off every candidate whose statement claims they will do things their desired office is not empowered to do
• Mark off every candidate with a platform that doesn’t claim to be aiming for any kind of change or improvement in particular. (I don’t support chair warmers.)
• Mark off every candidate whose email is a personal one listed as [email protected] or something else similarly unprofessional
• Mark off any candidate aligned with the party that supported the coup attempt in 2021

After this quick pass, which only takes a couple of minutes, I’m typically only left with two or three offices with more than one remaining choice to compare. I then read their platform and pick the candidate with the platform goal that seems most relevant to my or my community’s interest.

Abstain in this case is like voting yes, but with plausible deniability in case your country has to beg for Russian oil later.

Gold doesn’t really “burst”. It’ll just go down a bit.

Dork

It’s either available, or it’s not. What a garbage scam website.

I did some work with the JJ Abrams production company. It was…mediocre.

I wish these losers would be relegated back to AM radio

If all you do is read the little statements booklet they send out, and then do the mail vote based on that, then AI is not in the loop unless the candidate is dumb enough to paste chatbot output into their statement.

Seriously people, get your friends and family off of the ragebait rectangle. Most “news” media today is just opinion wrapped with ads about content they bought from Reuters and AP.

Peremptory challenge, no reason needed. It’s one of the six I get for the case. Next.

Language choice for a solution does not have anything to do with LLM capabilities. For someone’s hobby project, maybe. Engineering departments do not work this way. Just because LLMs can write Java better than some other languages doesn’t mean the next big game engine will be in Java.

Post it to neither, do something more enriching with your time

The LLM works via language. It’s…in the name. If a programming language that is more understandeable for a particular domain comes out, then LLMs will be useful for it just like humans will further appreciate it. Some languages just seriously blow for certain domains. Keep iterating. If a lnaguage is hard for people to use, it’s especially hard for an LLM to use.

Prosecution will strike them. Next.

I read the title and instantly glued myself into my pants

I don’t see anything political anywhere these days from adding filters and blocks over the past year or two. Whenever I very rarely do, I just block the user or community in Boost, or add another keyword filter to get rid of more spam. Similarly for regular feeds like my phone’s builtin Google News, I started marking them as “Don’t Show Content From [Source]”.

If enough people do this, perhaps publishers will learn that spamming people with misleading ragebait is a losing strategy. Probably not, though.

Money is a transferrable form of debt, and debt is emotion. You do something for someone or give someone something. They are then “indebted” to you. Or the reverse - you’ve been issued a fine, meaning some of the “debt” others owed to you for something valuable is now void because you did something interpreted negatively.

The physical money symbolizes the feeling of indebtedness, and standard currencies allow people to recognize one anothers’ debts as something commonly valuable and transferrable for symbolizing new debts.

It sounds kind of like karma, but because money is just symbolic for debt and not actually the real manifestation of the emotions associated with the causes of the indebtedness, having a lot of money, or vice-versa, doesn’t translate to a karmic judgment of a person. Someone can trick their way into making others feel indebted to them, at least at the point in time of the emotion to money exchange. Or, they can literally steal the “debt markers” that others accrued. Or, one can decide that one kind of debt is not worth as much as another kind of debt - foreign exchange rates, employment wages, etc mediate this mostly in the sense that human time is not valued identically depending on where a person lives or who they are.

And you can be “wealthy” without money, as long as enough people feel indebted to you and you can “exchange” that indebtedness for the things you want. The money is just for easy debt accounting and transfer.

What’s the difference between the buy now pay later thing and regular credit card usage?
