You state that like it's a fact. I didn't realize we understood everything about consciousness and the brain. The more you know.

I would think anesthesia, in specific doses, would only attenuate consciousness...if it stopped other processes your organs and nervous system would stop. I guess this confirms that.

Most government sites, especially open-source ones that want international contributors, do a decent job at internationalization. It doesn't seem like much of a reach to have that working.

They're going to have to work on the i18n. It defaulted to English but the entire page except like 3 words are in some other language.

Our government failed the citizens and let outsourcing and wage suppression destroy the US tech industry...positioning the country far behind other countries in technology supremacy for at least a decade to come

$12,000 for the base model is insane. I have an Apple M3 Max with 128GB RAM that can run 120B parameter models using like 80 watts of electricity at about 15-20 tokens/sec. It's not amazing for 120B parameter models but it's also not 12 grand.

I would argue that actually political corruption is destroying nature because there would not be an obsession with growth if executives did not have so much leverage to make workers desperate for jobs because they're so underpaid.

It looks like this is using 2024 data so quite old?

The word democracy is so overused, the US is a plutocracy for instance.

One could argue JSON is even cheaper, along the same lines.

I don't know why anyone uses Electron anymore, Tauri produces much smaller binaries and is amazing.

Strange to see the NSA using Java, maybe this is really old?

People don't realize that all of our problems lately are stemming from lack of truly representative government. Until we find a way to ensure political candidates aren't corrupt and bought off, there will always be corruption, double standards, and lack of accountability from them.

Why does data collection, ostensibly something that should be mandatory for proper signals to run the country, stop when the government shuts down but we can still send billions to Israel?

I don't know how many bad things Microsoft has to do before consumers realize they are a terrible company and you should stop buying their stuff.

Just don't try to build it from source haha. Compiling Postgres 18 with the PostGIS extension has been such a PITA because the topology component won't configure to not use the system /usr/bin/postgres and has given me a lot of grief. Finally got it fixed I think though.

The US government should track how many Americans don't have health insurance, instead of caring so much about GDP or the stock market. It's a KPI that would clearly show how poorly the economy is actually functioning.
