    Consistent across many economic surveys for at least a year, including data the various regional Fed branches look at. The Fed aggregates this data from many sources. Feel free to "do your own research." There's no point in linking data on the internet anymore, people always choose their own...

    Except we're actually living in the opposite. Survey data shows a significant higher-than-normal amount of people think their personal financial situation is better than it's ever been, but think the wider economy is bad, mostly because the media (and especially social media) keeps giving off...

    She's better looking than Zendaya at least. Anyway, this looks better than Obi-wan and does look like it will include some EU lore. This doesn't look offensively awful or cartoony.

    If the dollar drops, imports and anything priced globally like oil, even if produced entirely domestically, will go up. If more tariffs get put in place, that's even more CPI inflation on common imports. But other than those two scenarios, where's the inflation pressure going to come from...

    At this point, cutting closer to the election does nothing. It takes at least 6-9 months for fed policy to actually impact people. If this was just purely politically driven, they would be cutting now to get more housing starts and business investment rolling now so it can be full bore by the...

    I wasn't paying too much attention, but the itemization changes seem good-ish? Certainly better than the literal garbage itemization the game has now.

    The costumes really make the show in my opinion. You can tell a lot of work was done to make everything fit properly and have people carry themselves properly in them.

    Multiple PCs into a single big monitor solution.. Help

    Mouse Without Borders is what you want for controlling multiple computers. This is included in the new Power Toys for Windows or standalone, but the standalone is no longer updated (still works great though.) For the monitor, the Dell P4317Q did what you want, but it's not something easily...

    Self-driving combines a whole bunch of different approaches, some real-time and some not, some local and some not. Not directly comparable. And a ton of work and person-hours has been thrown at it to some very mixed results.

    "Running" is the inference part. Still requires a shitload of compute. Did you watch the video? I don't think "train once" would work for video games. Even with all the compute they've thrown at it, it's limited to 10 second task sequences, with absolutely no ability for long-term planning...

    Chat GPT AI

    A bot that's doing training and inference based on real-time visual processing is going to require 100s of datacenter GPUs, probably 1000s. No one is going to be able to run a personal bot like this. Again, this stuff is neat for research purposes, but for practical purposes, almost...

    The visual processing is very cool for research reasons but makes no sense for practical video game AI reasons. Why bother to read the screen when you can just read the network data or some other internal data?

    Note: I don't actually think any of this is going to happen. I think for most complex fields, "AI" is going to be a lot more like "offshoring" where you're basically just cloning extremely mediocre workers who end up creating almost as many problems as they actually solve. Except you'll be...

    If there's no entry-level jobs, there's no way to get job skills for the non-entry level jobs. No amount of education is a substitute for real operational work experience. Every field has an entry-level, even advanced professions. Break that pipeline and shit gets fucked fast. We already...

    Also, any "unwoken"-ing they've done in the app since wouldn't be reflected in the underlying model, because those would be just pre-instructions, not changes to the 'shape' of the underlying model.
