I thought that was the governor (of Utah), not the mayor of SLC? The lake is (or was) large, with many sources, most of which are outside of SLC’s jurisdiction.

I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.

As an ex-SLC resident, the mayor and the city doesn’t have that much pull over their sliver of the lake. The state reps and senators are really the ones to blame. They were also the ones that allowed companies to dump heavy metals into the lake which are now being blown into the valley for everyone to breathe.

It’s sad, I have a vivid memory of wading into the water as a child. In the area I went in at, you could walk for miles and the water would only come up to your chest. It was also really easy to float in, and brine shrimp were everywhere. It stunk, but as a kid, I didn’t care about that. It was just cool to be in a super salty lake.

Does running termux all of the time affect battery much?

For real. I’m probably gunna swap over to something else, this is pretty sus.

I think it attributes a lot of things like being depressed from poverty and the state of the world to weed. It’s no surprise that depressed individuals use substances to cope, and it’s also strange that they seem to avoid that. I think not putting smoke into your lungs is healthiest of course, but I think they’re making the wrong correlation here.

I mean, that’s true, yes. The ones on roads (which also exist in my area) are far worse. However, it’s still a huge invasion of privacy that most people have no idea about. Plus, there may not be alternative home improvement stores in certain areas. Lowe’s and Home Depot are the only home improvement stores in my area, and both of those disgusting corps have million dollar contracts with Flock. They’re literally at every location from what I can tell on DeFlock.

ALPRs, especially Flock, are designed for police. They only exist so police can avoid getting warrants to know where you’ve been.

In this specific case, the only people I could contact are Home Depot corporate, and they signed a huge contract ($$$) with Flock. It’s something I’ve thought about though. I really wish Lowe’s and Home Depot weren’t the only home improvement stores in town, as they both have Flock.

Deflock has a great picture-based guide here: https://deflock.me/identify

In the dark, the ALPRs made by flock have a green flow to them. Even in the daylight, though, they are relatively easy to spot once you see one. They’re usually at each entrance of a storefront or on the sides of roads, and typically have their own solar panel.

Once you notice one, you’ll start noticing them everywhere, at least that’s how it worked for me in my area.

Everyone who eats and drinks chemicals will eventually die!

If you’re talking about AWS, AWS does much more than just cloud storage.

I prefer my PC off when I’m not using it, that way it’s encrypted.

My local Lowe’s and Home Depot have the only Flock cameras in my county (for now, anyway).

The AI we’ve had for over 20 years is not an LLM. LLMs are a different beast. This is why I hate the “AI” generalization. Yes, there are useful AI tools. But that doesn’t mean that LLMs are automatically always useful. And right now, I’m less concerned about the obvious hallucination that LLMs constantly do, and more concerned about the hype cycle that is causing a bubble. This bubble will wipe out savings, retirement, and make people starve. That’s not to mention the people currently, right now, being glazed up by these LLMs and falling to a sort of psychosis.

The execs causing this bubble say a lot of things similar to you (with a lot more insanity, of course). They generalize and lump all of the different, actually very useful tools (such as models used in cancer research) together with LLMs. This is what allows them to equate the very useful, well studied and tested models to LLMs. Basically, because some models and tools have had actual impact, that must mean LLMs are also just as useful, and we should definitely be melting the planet to feed more copyrighted, stolen data into them at any cost.

That usefulness is yet to be proven in any substantial way. Sure, I’ll take that they can be situationally useful for things like making new functions in existing code. They can be moderately useful for helping to get ideas for projects. But they are not useful for finding facts or the truth, and unfortunately, that is what the average person uses it for. They also are no where near able to replace software devs, engineers, accountants, etc, primarily because of how they are built to hallucinate a result that looks statistically correct.

LLMs also will not become AGI, they are not capable of that in any sort of capacity. I know you’re not claiming otherwise, but the execs that say similar things to your last paragraph are claiming that. I want to point out who you’re helping by saying what you’re saying.

Containers are better than any other option, so of course they’re being used! I’m gunna use containers even harder!

Do you have the exploit compatibility mode enabled in the settings? Under Apps > [Your Banking App]

No chance I’d buy a phone that had this in the first place.

Hmm, strange that the config file didn’t work - that’s actually how I do it (but with Mullvad and wireguard). No installation necessary if you can figure out why it’s not working.

OSM provides multiple languages including English. Are you using a VPN connected to another country perhaps?

Totally fair - you gotta find and use what works for you!
