@sickburnbro The legislation authorizing it is like two sentences long. I don't think there's much case law because no governor has ever been dumb enough to challenge it. Won't stop an activist judge from issuing a TRO though. The Democrats are good at getting their cases in front of activist judges.
@sickburnbro The analysis is definitely flawed anyway. The country is broke, and they are just coming up with reasons why it's okay to spend as much money as they want and raise our taxes to pay for it. These kinds of "economists" have always been popular with the political class, ever since keynes.
@theorytoe Throw it all out and write a new spec. We will call it web 5. Oh wait, that one guy wrote a comic about standards and now no one is allowed to create a new standard ever again. Almost forgot.
@sickburnbro All this trading is probably done by algorithms. The algorithms know these stories are wrong, but they are all trying to make money off people with worse algorithms. It's ponzis all the way down.
Switch 2 halved it's support from the pre-direct poll.
I am buying a switch 2 for two reasons: 1. My launch switch is on its last legs and I have a ton of switch games I would still like to play. 2. Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza look pretty cool.
The price increase sucks, but $60 has been the price point for a new AAA game for 25 years. Everything has gone up in price during that time period. It was only a matter of time before games followed suit.
@sickburnbro "Sure, your math and engineering skills are off the chart, but this other applicant wrote a better essay." That's the nice interpretation of this. What they really mean: "white and asian men need not apply, but we will get in trouble if we say that."
@SuperDicq I run open source as much as possible. Cursor is about $200 per year. I can't even get started on local open source AI without a significant hardware investment. A local rig to run deepseek costs $6000. And that's ignoring that cursor works out of the box today with no hassle. If there's anything open source that's anywhere close, I haven't heard of it. Next time I buy hardware I will definitely buy something more ai capable, but my current hardware isn't. I'm not planning to replace it for a few years.
