Spent last night going through all the political parties and their policies. Damn do they suck! Labour was the only one who had concrete policy and even then only on doctors visits and loans for new doctor practices.

Every other party from the Greens to Act or all nothing burgers and hot air sentenses usually taking the form of “this is a problem, we will fix it” no “how” or “what with”

I know its early in the election cycle but its still very lax

Nope. Mostly a signal dude myself. However i did just make a matrix account on matrix.org

I know enough to help out. Developer for the past 10 years. I know my way around a network happy to help out if you need a rubber duck to bounce ideas off of

This is an interesting one for me. I have a bunch of mates in their 40s still on their restricted, it has never impacted them, cops never seem to care.

If the law isnt being inforced then its just frivilous buracracy. Now i agree that we already have a poor standerd of average driver skill in NZ so that should be elevated. But laws for the sake of laws that only get applied sporadicaly and inconsistantly just create derision with our justice system.

Perhaps creating a longer learner period, something like 2 years, that can be reduced by 3-6 month increments by taking certain courses could be a thing. Skip the restricted altogether.

Im not against what they are doing with this, to me it seems like a step in the correct direction. I do question their motives behind it. What do you know, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Here is a video by Alec of technology connections talking about a simple solar farm in Illinois.

Yes it is an hour and a half long, just watch the first 30mins or so if ya want. The last 30mins are about USA falling apart at the seams, good but not relevent to the power discusion.

As Chippy mentions in another article about this gas port. “$1,000,000,000 buys a hell of a lot of solar panels and batteries.”

Maybe Japan gets a situation like NZ where the conservitve parties and “the right” like National and Act would probably be left of the USA Democrats on the political spectrum. I can hope right?

Also reducing all politics to a left right thing is so stupid and probably the worst thing to do for political discourse but… here we are. I blame the murdoch media

+1 for Kate. I think its ment to be an acronym for KDE Advanced text editor but its a linux program that feels very close to notepad++ and will handle large files with gusto

Down in the deep south near Glenorchy. Isolated even for a New Zealander. Find Queenstown on a map and then follow the shore of the lake Queenstown is on to the west, tada Glenorchy. He lives there

Of course? Just as quick as it can candy colour the braces and highlight your references of your 1000 line pr

Its almost like everyone building this shit at one point in the past 5 years called themselves a “software developer” and might have a good insight as to what that job entails. Posibly why LLMs are kinda competent at the job of development, they are being built by 1000’s of ex software developers.

Probably wont be good at law or chemistry because the people building it have a felon musk level of understanding about those jobs.

Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000’s?

Wow i am massivly wrong. A simple wiki search would have set me straight. Sorry all, dont listen to me. (Below is original comment, ill wear my shame on my sleeve)

~~We test on animals. Mice specifically, so we take the amount that killed the mouse and multiply by 50 to get an estimate on the Lethal Dose for humans. So i guess depending on the human the true lethal dose is going to be some where between 50 times the Lethal Dose and 99 times the Lethal Dose.

So “LD” is the amount it took to kill a mouse and 50 times that or “LD50” is the estimated lethal dose for a human~~

You couldnt unzip 2 files at once. Not untill service pack 1.

You are 100% correct, that was meet the parents!

I just imagine some hard ass lady at the kennel counter telling you “this is your dog now.”

At any rate its a hilarious story!
