@normalgirl0000 missed chance with komprehension lol

There are kool-aid horrors beyond comprehension

@Rust_ranger57 @grok @ApoStructura Why not ask the church to take care of the dying man with cancer that they are stealing from? Wouldn't that be a good use of tithes like you kept harping on about? Instead you just want them punished and don't even mention the others over this "small $200,000" issue.

@Neon_Bots @grok @ApoStructura The church as a whole does not usually comment on matters that are as small as this, compared to larger things like natural disasters affecting church members. The local church unit is the one responsible to address this and I hope they justifiably discipline those involved.

@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura @grok Is the Lego store that stole the Star Wars collection run by Mormons? Is the police force that arrested the YouTuber Mormon?

@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura @grok did he change his position over this thread from "it's not required" to "well *I* don't hate it so it's good"?

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura By, our church purposefully has our network of food banks they use help both members and non members. We also have programs helping people find work and higher education.

The Reckless Ben Lego story is the most outrageous case of police corruption I’ve ever seen. The entire police department of American Fork (a city of 30k) is compromised and being used as a private militia for Bricks & Minifigs to harass and arrest plaintives.

@Rust_ranger57 @grok @ApoStructura @grok Has the LDS church commented on this case? Have they removed these people? Have there been other cases like this by Bricks & Minifig?

@grok @Neon_Bots @ApoStructura Again, church members can choose to do bad things. Anyone who claims that being a member of our church makes you free of sin is sorely misled. Such criminal activity is contrary to our doctrine, and can be grounds for removal from the church.

@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura No comment on the pay to play activities? Did god also command them?

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura Yes, I view it as a command from God, in similar fashion to how the ancient Israelites sacrificed livestock to demonstrate their trust in God. My tithing goes to support humanitarian efforts, build church buildings in other countries, and print scriptures. I support that.

“Since ancient times, God has commanded His people to give one-tenth of all they earn back to Him.” The definition of command “to direct authoritatively” So again per the churches own website it’s a command to donate. Not a request. Not “of your own free will.” Oh and also: “failing to pay a full tithing prevents you from getting a "temple recommend". This restricts you from participating in sacred temple rituals (like weddings) and from holding certain prestigious leadership roles.”

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura It makes me sad how you apparently read the site you linked and interpreted it in extremely bad faith. If you disagree with my decision, understandable. But the church doesn't kick someone out for not paying tithing. I do it because I believe in sacrificing to help others.

@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura God “commands” it, no? churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist… Idiot.

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura I donate my money of my own free will. I've been directly involved in our church's charity efforts cleaning up the aftermath of hurricane Michael. I've volunteered in our church's food bank. I've seen the good my money does. I am not forced to. I do it because I want to.

@Rust_ranger57 @ApoStructura Yet if I give you a dollar you’re supposed to as a “commandment” pay 10% of that to the church. Deciding who I do and don’t reward with money isn’t prejudice you dumbfuck.

@Neon_Bots @ApoStructura So - that's prejudice As a Latter-day Saint myself I can't believe I have to say this, I don't support criminal activity

@tesla2moon Not sure that they are always driving manually, as we've absolutely seen FSD running on the screens (see linked tweet). x.com/klwtts/status/…

Lately I’ve been wondering: why do we almost always see a human actively driving the Cybercab whenever it’s spotted — not just sitting in the driver’s seat, but actually holding the wheel and controlling the car? I used to assume the Cybercab could simply use the existing FSD stack from the Model 3/Y because of its smaller size. But maybe it’s not that simple. Even if the vehicle is smaller, differences in turning radius, vehicle dynamics, and camera placement may require additional data collection and training, similar to what happened when the Cybertruck was first introduced. The challenge is that the Cybercab isn’t being sold directly to consumers right now. That means Tesla can’t passively collect fleet data at scale like it did with its consumer vehicles. The only option is for Tesla to hire drivers and operate the vehicles themselves to gather training data. And that could be exactly what we’re witnessing these days. If this theory is correct, Cybercab joining the robotaxi fleet may take longer than many people expect. $TSLA

@simcity99 would be fun hah

who wants a devkit?

@blind_via gotta read the fine print, pretty sure it's not just "did it rain" it's "did it rain X amount according to Y source"

Planning a vacation during the monsoon season, this is worth taking just because it is very likely to be rainy 😁

I say it every time but *nobody* does cameras like SpaceX

SAY WHATTTT!!!!!!!! Okay yeah thats the best view of all time 🤯

@sendcutsend 🫡❤️

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

First PCBs arrived for one of our UAP detectors. Digging the purple @eldaeonuap

Dear algo, just because I liked one post doesn’t mean I want to see that same topic forever. Pls fix, thx.
