“When Amendment 64 passed (legalizing recreational marijuana), anything that was like smokable plant material was maybe 2% to 5% THC. Now some of the plant-based stuff, the potency is up closer to 15%,” Dillard said. “

Bull fucking shit. I've been buying legal weed here since day one and you could get 15% anywhere. Nobody was selling 2% in a dispensary. Maybe some dude on the street selling brick weed, but never in dispensaries.

The main safety features are a tip switch, thermostat, and a bi-metallic safety switch that physically pops open if it gets too warm. The "still dangerous" part seems to just be failure modes or poor operational safety. Don't put it right next to something flammable and don't overload the circuit.

Don't know why you're being down voted; it's a 30 minute video. 😅

AI certainly can do it. But here's the thing with generative AI: the answer is only as good as the question you ask. If you don't know exactly what to ask for and which details are important, the AI doesn't know what you meant to ask and can't infer that. AI usually does not pick up implied context that an experienced person would. A person would be able to make an educated guess about what you actually meant and answer that question.

As someone with 20 years of programming experience, I would recommend against using AI to learn to program. You're asking something that doesn't actually know how to program to show you how to do it. From my experience with coworkers using AI, it doesn't improve their work; it simply accelerates the rate at which they can produce low quality work.

Once you're more skilled than the AI, you can use it to speed up menial tasks, like generating boilerplate and stubbing things out. It absolutely will be wrong in some ways, and you need to be able to tell when it's wrong and know how to fix it.

Exactly. Same as with Trump's rigged election claims: show us the evidence or fuck all the way off with your conspiratorial fantasies. We have very real urgent issues to focus on before we entertain "curiosities".

And excessive blind fanaticism causes kiddie diddlers. Yet here we are.

Doing PDF handling with jQuery? Yeah, it do be like that sometimes.

It was a Nazi salute without a doubt. The only question is if it was accidental or intentional. Musk being a far-right operative and making a bunch of Nazi puns as his response instead of an apology for the misunderstanding makes it clear it was not an accident.

EOs are not laws and can only direct the federal government's actions. The President has no authority to unilaterally control a company, except for scenarios where it is interacting with the federal government. Just like the "two genders" EO, it only applies to the federal government. States and companies can continue to support non-binary and other options for sex and gender identity.
