I think the idea isn't to really bring a firearm into the situation, it is just to tell the cops that you are considering doing so.
Which, in your hypothetical "you might get extremely unlucky" scenario, should give you no problem, since you never had a firearm on you in the first place.
I am especially impressed with the “i didn’t write a single line of code” part, because I was expecting it to be janky or slow on mobile, but it feels blazing fast just zooming around different areas.
And it is very up to date too, as I found a building across the street from me that got finished only last year being present.
I found a nitpicky error though: in Brooklyn downtown, where Cadman Plaza Park is, your webite makes it looks like there is a large rectangular body of water there (e.g., a pool or a fountain). In reality, there is no water at all, it is just a concrete slab area.
the classic "water/concrete" issue! There's probably a lot of those around the map - turns out, it's pretty hard to tell the difference between water and concrete/terrain in a lot of the satellite imagery that the image model was looking at to generate the pixel images!
> I just don't understand how this is true unless you're doing something extremely basic.
The same way it is true for people with no college degree at all. People can learn on the side. Some of them might have had a minor in CS, or worked on hobby software projects in the meantime. Those hires might become some of the best, but finding them is difficult.
Out of the two such SWEs I worked with at Microsoft years ago, one of them had no college degree at all, and another one had an entirely unrelated degree (with his previous full-time job being an air traffic controller at a nearby airport). None of the SWE work they did was trivial or basic even in the slightest.
The best PR that Cloudflare could possibly have here is just the demand letter from AGCOM (aka the Italian comms agency).
Just reading what they are demanding from Cloudflare and their reasoning for it is enough to turn pretty much anyone to Cloudflare’s side. And that’s before even digging into the details of the context preceding that whole conflict
Similarly, the music video for Taylor Swif[0] (another track by A$AP Rocky) is just as surrealistic and weird in the best way possible, but with an eastern european flavor of it (which is obviously intentional and makes sense, given the filming location and being very on-the-nose with the theme).
I can see how this kind of videos can attract the tiktok addicts with less than 3 seconds of attention time.
I wonder what will be the state of cinema/series/video clips in 30 years? Will singers/rappers give up sentences completely and just mention names of emojis? Will we have to use screens at 576hz to be able to watch acclerated videos without seeing a constant blur?
I guess most kids from today would fall asleep before the end of the generic of Twin Peaks or the opening scene of Fargo.
Asking because I was pretty much on-board with the comment and took it as being fully serious, up until the point of “jerking off in public shouldn’t be anybody else’s business, unless they stain something” being mentioned.
Now, I am not so sure. Either the entire comment was sarcastic or I am missing something major. But putting jerking off in public and talking on the phone in a public bathroom into the same bucket of activities (in terms of appropriateness) feels crazy to me.
They are not in the same bucket, and I'm being intentionally provocative, if this confession makes things easier for you, but I really don't think you should mind that much if somebody is jerking off in public unless it harms you in some way (in broad sense, e.g. being intentionally annoying, loud and doing it right into your face). The point is that you should do whatever you want unless it harms others, and shouldn't mind other people doing whatever they want unless it actually harms you. I would say a guy watching tiktok without a headset right next to you in the airport harms you waaay more than a guy jerking off in the same airport standing 10 m away from you or anyone else. I mean, it's disconcerning, because you'd rightfully assume he must be crazy, but the activity itself really shouldn't bother you.
And surely anyone mentioned is a hundred times less harmful than a guy smoking on the street. That should be illegal. Yet people for some reason act as if it's ok, and it is broadly legal in most places (unlike jerking off in public).
If that's the case, then sure, that perspective is way more understandable.
I didn't take it that way, because "in public", to me, implies that other people are fully exposed to it. I don't consider "in a private stall" as public, just like I don't consider "taking your underwear off in a bathroom stall" (very normal) as "taking your underwear off in public".
Impeachment doesn't mean what (I believe) you think it does. There were previous presidents of the US who got impeached and remained in the position as well. This part is not novel (the only novel part is that he managed to get impeached twice).
Just try calculating how many RTX 5090 GPUs by volume would fit in a rectangular bounding box of a small sedan car, and you will understand how.
Honda Civic (2026) sedan has 184.8” (L) × 70.9” (W) × 55.7” (H) dimensions for an exterior bounding box. Volume of that would be ~12,000 liters.
An RTX 5090 GPU is 304mm × 137mm, with roughly 40mm of thickness for a typical 2-slot reference/FE model. This would make the bounding box of ~1.67 liters.
Do the math, and you will discover that a single Honda Civic would be an equivalent of ~7,180 RTX 5090 GPUs by volume. And that’s a small sedan, which is significantly smaller than an average or a median car on the US roads.
I didn’t do the napkin math on it earlier, because I don’t believe it really matters for making the point I was making.
I don’t care about looking up real numbers, so I will just overestimate heavily. Let’s say that for a large enough number of GPUs, the overhead of all the surrounding equipment would be around 20% (amortized).
So you can just take the number of GPUs I calculated in my previous comment, multiply by 0.8, and you get your answer.
> I think they would machine gun them even with internet, it's more about stopping them from organising.
Yes, but cutting off internet access to the entire country typically makes machine gunning much more efficient (due to organizing being made much more difficult for the people) and much less costly in terms of the global outcry and reputation.
Which, in your hypothetical "you might get extremely unlucky" scenario, should give you no problem, since you never had a firearm on you in the first place.
