@OptionsSly @Kramburglar @jdcmedlock Demand returns, but there is literally not enough gas, so the price will rise again until there is forced reduction of consumption again. You're misunderstanding what is fixed in the fixed demand

@OptionsSly @Kramburglar @jdcmedlock American consumers want to buy X gallons of gas (the fixed part). Market disruption causes there to be X-10 gallons of gas, forcing reduced consumption. Tax break temp lowers the price, making people act like there are X gallons of gas again and demand goes back to fixed level
English
Such an unserious solution to gas prices in the face of supply constraints. Krugman said it best 26 years ago
Mayor Matt Mahan@MattMahanSJ
Some experts say gas prices could go to $7 per gallon. That’s why we need a temporary suspension of our state’s gas taxes, which are the highest in the nation. California leaders say they care about working families. Let’s make them prove it with a temporary suspension of our gas taxes while gas prices remain so high.

@surlygopher @MichaelLangeNYC “Outside of NY and commiefornia you can never win an election where you campaign on doing anything” is a pervasive idea killing the Democratic Party
English
@surlygopher @MichaelLangeNYC We’ve already done this, it’s only been a year since a general election where we tested a candidate going all in on moderate centrism after the party’s national convention. The base didn’t show up to the election and she lost every single swing state.
English
The New York Times conducted a focus group of 13 Democratic-leaning voters from across the country. When given a choice:
13/13 chose the "progressive" candidate.
12/13 chose the "younger" candidate.
12/13 chose the "middle-class" candidate.
Who does that sound like to you?

@lovabler0gue @LittleKeegs0 @RtrnSanity California isn’t the entire US. Who do you think won the last federal election?

Let’s see. My electric bill is up a whopping 30 percent, my social platforms are full of slop, and I’m constantly being told I have 18 months to escape the permanent underclass.

I simply don’t understand where all this hostility to data centers, and AI in general, is coming from. Do people get irrationally angry about exurban office parks which dot the landscape?

In the 2010s companies would begin sacrificing PMs to the gods if uptime got this low to restore it to 99.x%, it is insane how fast big tech is degrading

Things like Claude are actually getting better at outputting product and will change how professionals do work in the future but the people hawking this stuff for directly “creating” games are extremely delusional.
English
Every single video of this new groundbreaking model saying what “AI made in an hour” is a frame by frame copyright theft of somebody else’s work running at 10fps. The technology keeps getting better, but the output product does not.

AI just made this in an hour. Unbelievable.

@swayswaybb @natashakorecki AOC called for abolishing ICE in the last 24 hours. The posted tweet was her referring to action in a specific budget, not her entire stance on ICE.
English
@natashakorecki we know, self-acclaimed progressive dems have said everything but abolish ICE.

NEW: Third Way imploring Democrats NOT to use the term “Abolish ICE.”

@jratner7 Appreciate that, but my sister is a lawyer so we got it covered. Landlord is fucked. She failed to provide itemized deductions in 30 days (deadline was 12/29). Only invoice she provide was for th $320 cleaning. The $3800 was a general description without detail and it was late.
English
Last landlord owes me $4850 in deposits due by the end of today. She just sent me $730 and took the rest as $320 for cleaning and $3800 in deductions for “paint and wall repair” …

@KingCosmicNick This is like the Valve Artifact announcement all over again

Because forget all the begging for Battlefront 3. KoTOR. Empire at war 2. A card collection game. I've totally heard tons of people asking for that.
This better not be the "Big Star Wars game announcement" that was coming soon bruh.
Star Wars@starwars
We are excited to announce we are working with Zero36 Studio and CCG Lab to develop a brand-new digital collectible card game where players can battle across the Star Wars galaxy. Stay tuned for future updates.

@FallenZeraphine @RegulusEnjoyer @jeremyphoward If this extra capability adds so much overhead that it is no longer functional then I think the extra capability doesn't really matter. One is software that works, the other is a Bing redirect.
English
@RegulusEnjoyer @jeremyphoward Because Windows Search doesn't just look for file or folder names, it reads file attributes, metadata and in some cases, the content of certain files too. This is why it's slower. Windows Search and Everything are two very different pieces of software.

@fixitjake @TheFarix @FLZoo @CompletedStreet It is cheaper to drive places because we invest in car infrastructure rather than train infrastructure. If we invested in train transit from 1950 until today, you would be arguing that personal automobiles that require roads are infeasible. You don't understand the argument here.
English
@TheFarix @FLZoo @CompletedStreet Sounds nice but it is not economically feasible in America. Gas is cheap. Most people own cars. Air travel is more efficient. HSR is a fantasy that will never happen in America.

the issue living in the post LLM work is how nobody reviews how anything works anymore and if it even works, there’s gonna be a huge dip in domain knowledge
no job safety left either, layoffs every other day so why would anyone care about any of products anyway
entry level positions and junior roles are not being created, there’s no training to pass the knowledge
the meme of “we dont know how to build it anymore” is going to be real
AI is going to get better and better so why bother spending time understanding something when you can spin the LLM roulette for the correct implementation

@SocDoneLeft Online leftists fighting desperately to maintain the 9000 minority party status quo while DSA has figured out how to actually break into having power. One of these strategies works, the other is confined to Twitter 😐
English
The unearned confidence of communists on electoral matters is funny
In two decades, PSL hasn't won a single election
If we exclude CPUSA (who, sensibly, run as leftist Dems), communists have a ~1 in 40 win rate since 2000
Your strategy failed, update it!
Steph 🌒🌕🌘@StephanieGailW
Why are DSA members being catty in the qrts? People don't want libs they want leftists. Get over it and help.
