> AI is wildly unpopular outside of our little tech bubble.

That goes against my personal experience. It's only people in this small tech bubble that hate it.

In the broader space people love it. I know plenty of people 50+ who use it as their search engine now, people who use it for relationship advice, my wife works with someone who claims to be dating an AI boyfriend (don't ask me how that works). And that's to say nothing of everyone who uses it to write their mundane emails and spreadsheets.

It only seems to be people heavily involved in tech as part of their day job who have any serious concerns about it.

> You'd also need a fake ID

For what? In my state there's no requirement to show ID. When I first moved here I attempted to show mine at the poll and the poll worker told me to quickly put that away and she didn't want to see it. I'm not even sure it's legal for them to ask for ID here, given her panicked reaction to me trying to show it.

Since then I've voted in this state for around 10 years and it's always the same. I could say I'm whoever I want, and just be given a ballot.

Edit: I don't live in NY either, as the other poster used as an example. ID should be an obvious and necessary requirement, but it isn't in many states.

> The video shows the ICE agent just straight up killing her unprovoked, against the narrative they're currently trying to setup that she was a terrorist

Don't try to bend the facts while there's literal video of the confrontation, as you yourself noted. She was being commanded to step out of the vehicle (My speculation: to be arrested) and refused to do so while accelerating the vehicle quickly with an officer standing in front of her vehicle. If the drivers intent was to commit vehicular homicide or not is obviously unknown (and at this point unknowable), it was not unprovoked in any way.

Intentionally or not she was accelerating her vehicle toward someone. Regardless of if the reaction of the agent was justified, it was 100% provoked by the driver.

I use my browser for most PDFs. But for PDFs that have a lot of vector graphics and are over 50-100mb, the browser viewer is very slow to load and render the pages. Even zooming in on a part of a drawing can take 10-15 seconds in the browser which is pretty disruptive.

Sumatra has no issues with 200mb+ PDFs, or ones with complex drawings.

These are all engineering drawings such as mechanical, electrical, and architectural drawings, so mine might not be a use case everyone has.

Same with Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) PLCs. You download a program to the PLC, and upload a program from a PLC.

I always assumed the naming confusion for those was just a matter of perspective; if you are thinking about a "download" from the perspective of the PLC receiving the file or the user sending the file.

Probably because it looks to be closed source these days.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, brigading, foreign agents, and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.

I would think just a simple typo.

Mixing up 1986 -> 1968 is a very human transposition error that I've not personally seen a LLM make.

Now, if the article said the the famous dive was done by Alvin and the Chipmunks and not the deep submersible vehicle Alvin, I would suspect AI.
