$50 billion is literally more than a quarter of their entire GDP (which means it could be as much as or at least close to their entire tax revenue for the year). Sure, banks routinely lend people up to 5-10 times their annual income, but that’s to buy a house, which is likely to increase in value if maintained properly, and which they get to repossess if they fail to make payments.

Meanwhile, military equipment to be used in an active war is likely to see at least major wear and tear, and at high risk of getting completely destroyed in the process, and there is no guarantee whatsoever that it’ll help them win the war. And even if they win, they haven’t really won anything because they’re just defending already existing territory, and they’re sacrificing the lives of millions of men in the process, which will then be lacking in their workforce, potentially leading to economic stagnation for decades. And for that reason, I’m out.

Where did he suddenly get all that money from is what I’d like to know.

I hope you never plan on having children then, because that’s exactly what that feels like.

If you pull up the full-size version, you can see that there’s clearly fur everywhere, albeit extremely short.

I just found out about that one and I’m wondering if I’m the only one who gets the joke in the name (“Le chat” means “the cat” in French, and Mistral is a French company).

Like, they MUST have done this on purpose, especially because ChatGPT has a very unfortunate meaning when pronounced in French.

That’s my boy

IDK, seems sufficiently original to be covered under Fair Use (parody is allowed, for instance).

Came here to say this. Better safe than sorry.

I actually don’t hate AI, but I’m a firm believer in everyone’s right to opt out if they don’t want it, and I hope companies will learn to respect that. If they don’t, feel free to spam their support hotline with complaints.

This recipe was supposed to be started on Good Friday and you share it NOW?

Jesus advocated something more radical : if you have something that you don’t need, it’s not yours anymore, it’s something you have to give to people who need what you have.

You got any Bible verses to back that up? Because all I’ve seen is him reminding people that it would be beneficial for them to do so, but he never forced anyone’s hand.

For instance, Matthew 19:21 (also Mark 10:21 more or less the same):

“If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven”

Interestingly, in Luke 19:1-10 there is a story of a rich tax collector whom Jesus pays a visit, which ends with him pledging half of his wealth to the poor (and restoring fourfold any ill-gotten gains), to which Jesus replies “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

This certainly does not sound like abolishing private property to me, more like responsible ownership and generous charitable giving.

What I think you might be referring to is a passage that I believe is somewhere in the epistles, which describes a certain church whose members voluntarily gave up all private ownership for the benefit of the community, unfortunately I cannot find it right now.

apolgy for bad english

One of them is a heavily armed criminal gang which operates locally and engages in violent crime, murder, and human trafficking, the other is somewhere on the other side of the world and currently fairly busy expending massive amounts of military resources trying to occupy a few provinces of a neighboring country.

This feels like asking if you should be more worried about domestic rattlesnakes or lions in Africa.

Just pulled up the repo and it turns out it’s the same guy who made Fooocus, which is still the best Stable Diffusion setup I’ve ever seen, because it works right out-of-the-box with minimal configuration.

Incredible.

IDK, he didn’t call for a violent revolution to overthrow the rule of the Pharisees or the Romans, nor did he tell people to eat the rich or that they’d stolen their wealth. He didn’t even advocate for free healthcare or government welfare programs because he could supply these things by magic, and he was a staunch believer in taking personal responsibility.

I’d say he was a moderate leftist at best. Maybe even a centrist.

Right, I have a 1600p laptop screen as well and the resolution downgrade was noticeable. What you say about the projection makes sense, unfortunately I haven’t seen any specs for the micro OLED displays they use, they only claim that the virtual screen has 1080p, which might be achievable if the displays DO in fact have a higher vertical resolution. It DOES appear that they’ve increased the size of the displays from 0.55" to 0.68" but there’s no information on the native resolution that I can find.

If I saw these glasses in a store somewhere I’d probably try them out but they’d have to be VASTLY better than the ones I tried to convince me to buy them.

I tried a previous incarnation of these and was not impressed. The screen was too dark in bright rooms and the resolution and image sharpness was lacking. Also the response time was rather slow, which made them basically unusable for playing games or watching (which was primarily what I bought them for). Additionally, the virtual screen was not fixed in space but moved around when you moved your head, which gave me vertigo after prolonged use. I ended up returning them after a week.

It appears as if these are at least the second, if not third generation (mine were simply called Air), and the spatial processing chip might help alleviate some of these issues, but I’m disappointed to see that the vertical resolution has not been increased. But at 32:9, it seems that these have twice the horizontal resolution, which would equal two 16:9 screens next to each other.

I wonder if these might be worth giving another try, but I’m loathe to risk it as my Amazon account has been flagged for returning too many purchases before.

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time, would it.
