Georgia judge shoots himself dead in his own courtroom on final day in office
  • It is dumb. It is to to states how they do it, but most of the times the state judges are selected via election. Which is tough as a voter it is very hard to learn about a judge especially if the judges supposed to be non partisan (believe in our not, but in some states they declare the part they are in).

    IMO the governor should select judges and perhaps give option during election to allow people to recall them if they are grossly biased or something (at that point judge would be well known).

  • Georgia judge shoots himself dead in his own courtroom on final day in office
  • As I understand, this judge was appointed by Kemp, then tried to resign (probably due to scandal), Kemp didn't allowed it, then he lost reelection and offed himself.

    Doesn't look like anyone else voted for him except Kemp.

  • Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For
  • I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.

  • Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For
  • People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.

    In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.

    The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.

    They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.

  • Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas that Musk want to increase
  • You can easily make H1B work 80 hours a week, as they know the moment they are fired they'll have to return to their home country.

    Also while other professions might indeed have higher salaries under H1B, Software Engineering salary is way under the average.

  • Tesla replaced laid off US workers with foreign workers using H-1B visas that Musk want to increase
  • I think H1B should be reformed. We should still have set limit, but instead of picking people randomly to grant visas, the employers should have a bidding war and only grant visas for the employees that will receive the highest compensation. This will once again promote experts and also ensures they will be paid their true worth.

    Also the window to be able to find another job should be extended, to allow them to switch if they get exploited.

  • Sorry nerds. They won't accept your "bird flu" malarkey
  • Reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/znI046F4FKg

    I think if the bird flu became a thing, hopefully we can produce vaccine quickly. I know we already can do it with other flu, but the process is still time consuming, not sure if there's mRNA version of flu vaccine.

    But knowing some conspiracy people, yeah I think this would be the hill they would die on. After covid, even if they saw their family and friends dying they would still say that they were murdered in hospitals, or infected with something else secretly or via chem trails.

  • AI needs to stop
  • I was ok with crypto and nft because it was up to me to decide if I want to get involved in it or not.

    AI does seem to have impact at jobs, at least employers are trying to use it and see if it actually will allow them to hire less staff, I see that for SWE. I don't think AI will do much there though.

  • Jimmy Carter
  • It is extremely sad, but he was 100 and he wouldn't live forever.

    It was probably best time for him to pass away and not see how our Republic will be attacked again.

    I still hope we will be able to defend it.
