I don’t think it was overestimating, more just not realizing that the term “blood libel” isn’t a widely recognized antisemitic concept. I know a lot of Jewish people and have never heard blood libel used that way.

I just read it as meaning some sort of lie revolving around death like “you’ve got blood on your hands” kind of thing.

Edit: Also thanks for the explaining your perspective to me.

I think I’m even more confused after reading all of this.

I know Miss Rachel is getting attacked for calling out the atrocities in Gaza, but what is all the blood libel stuff?

Sounds to me like we’ve just got someone upset that Miss Rachel is not asking for more kids to be killed, but you seem to believe there is something else going on?

I suspect most people aren’t buying it as a daily driver, but as a gaming device. I don’t use my steamdeck for computing (although toyed with the idea) for example.

Yeah, that’s what I was trying to get across. Either you have to do a lot of research or youre doing a “pre-built” configuration. At that point what Valve is offering is at least equal to other pre-built concepts.

I feel like the biggest thing everyone always overlooks is the amount of researchyou need to do to build a PC. Understanding what motherboard, ram, cpu, and gpu will let you play the games you want is not very clear, especially now we have AMD making good cpus and Intel making Gpus.

The naming conventions are all over the place and the specs on what’s best and what’s compatible is opaque at times.

Building the PC is easy, but making sure you didn’t waste your money by buying a motherboard that won’t work on the next generation of chips or you misunderstood the 10+ gpu models distributed by multiple different distributors is also easy.

My point was the investment in vs the value out may not be worth it for many projects. Beyond that, it may not be maintainable for all projects (at least with how fast things have been changing in this space and the heavy reliance on 3rd party systems to make it work).

While you’re right that it’s a new technology and not everyone is using it right, if it requires all of that setup and infrastructure to work then are we sure it provides a material benefit. Most projects never get that kind of attention at all, to require it for AI integration means that currently it may be more work than it’s worth.

Object Relational Mapping can be helpful when dealing with larger codebases/complex databases for simply creating a more programmatic way of interacting with your data.

I can’t say it is always worth it, nor does it always make things simpler, but it can help.

I mean, it kinda depends on your mental model. If you think the AC is “low” as in not running a lot you can turn it “up” so it’s making things colder.

While I’m generally pro regulation, that’s not true. You can absolutely over regulate an industry or put out regulations that are bad.

For example NIMBY regulations that prevent multi-family units from being constructed or in NJ breweries can’t sell food (due to weird alcohol laws/regulations).

I’ve also argued if it’s that’s the case, then just pay for all Americans to be “pre-screened” and get rid of 80% of the TSA. That would have to save a huge amount of money.

But TSA is most likely a mixture of a jobs program and easy way to send people kickbacks.

Theyve been rolling out intellisense for the terminal in Vscode, it’s completely breaking tab complete for me.

All of them. If you’re seeing sources cited, it means it’s a RAG (LLM with extra bits). The extra bits make a big difference as it means the response is limited to a select few points of reference and isn’t comparing all known knowledge on a subject matter.

Almost like the “Big Beautiful Bill’s” language wasn’t very well thought out.

I mean, why exclude this random subsection of work in the first place.

Thanks for the details, seems like that may be why the older Chromecasts are still supported.

I’m aware, I was just pointing out that Costco is more of a household name (and much larger company).

Costco is apparently the third largest retailer in the world. . So it’s a slightly bigger deal when they sue over the tariffs.

I didn’t say they weren’t known, just that Costco is certainly the most known (for the US). If you just look at revenue Kawasaki has 5% of the footprint of Costco and Revlon hasn’t posted anything since it’s bankruptcy in 2023 (from what I could find). Revenue might not directly relate to if a company is a household name, but I think it gives a general sense.

Also, I was just noting that Costco is a bigger name. All the companies listed are notable.

From the bottom of the article:

Global cosmetics giant Revlon, eyeglass maker EssilorLuxottica, motorcycle manufacturer Kawasaki, canned foods seller Bumble Bee, Japanese auto supplier Yokohama Tire and many smaller firms have also filed similar suits.

That probably does make Costco the most “known” company to sue.

I thought for Chromecast the “casting” part is just telling the Chromecast what to play. Do you need your phone on while Chromecast shows content?
