Was it an autobiography?

"We did things this way, therefore Democrats must be, too" - the furthest any Republican has thought about this.

I went to a technical college that had a police training program. Technical colleges sometimes have the reputation of being glorified high schools. That's mostly unfair, but there were three guys in some of my classes who were determined to make it that way. Give you one guess as to what program they were in.

I wouldn't trust those three to be security guards at a shopping mall.

You're confusing different things. "Contact tracing" has nothing to do with touching things. It just means you had some kind of contact with someone who had covid. Not even physical touch, just being relatively close.

Covid does not spread well through surfaces. This created huge waste as people were trying to deep clean with isopropyl alcohol, resulting in isopropyl alcohol shortages and companies putting in more dangerous forms of alcohol in hand sanitizer. It was completely unnecessary.

Joe Arpaio's old county. They're keeping the traditions alive, I see.

That, and Hegseth seems to be spending all his time being paranoid about leaks when he's the biggest leaker. Between that and day drinking, he doesn't have much time in his schedule to actually advance fascism.

Don't get too excited about seething capitalists. Bezos is a major investor.

Well, we do know of several political appointees who leaked classified information. Didn't even need a polygraph; they just told a journalist.

I don't think that's possible. Not to the degree that would rebuild trust in a reserve currency. Once that money starts moving to something else, it's gone. There would need to be a big incentive to come back, and it's not clear what that would be.

The change would have to happen before any major moves happen. But then, just the fact that US policy is flip flopping so quickly is itself reason to mistrust it as a reserve currency. How do you know it won't flip right back?

Then we didn't learn it from covid.

Sorry, don't agree with this one. A simple "thank you" has been good job seeking advice for a long time. I've specifically gotten a job because I sent in a written thank you. Though that's more practical for local businesses rather than remote jobs that I seek these days.

 
 

There might be a good reason for this. Raster effects were already really good in newer games, and ray tracing could only improve on that high bar. It's filling in details that are barely noticeable, but creap ever so slightly closer to photorealism.

Old games start from a low bar, so ray tracing has dramatic improvement.

 

Here's the post in question: https://midwest.social/post/10123989

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
