Nah, they know what they’re doing. They know if put together properly it’ll work, so they spend years fucking it up so badly that it’ll take decades to fix, which they know won’t happen. Then they point to how broken it is and use that as an excuse to make people believe it was never working and even if it did it can never work again.

Would you be able to share a link to the information you’re referring to regarding voter registration tampering, even if it does not directly mention her?

I’m not sure what lies specifically you’re referring to about how she spoke about the 2 party system, but it seems you recognize that’s not an actual crime, so you’re probably not expecting her to be jailed over that.

There were several investigations into her, and none were able to actually substantiate anything. Here are two BBC articles: This one showing that even after they went after Clinton for it, they did not hold themselves to the same standard: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46271021

This one stating that even if it was just a her issue, it’s not going to result in jail time (emphasis mine): https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31806907

The State Department inspector general report, released in May 2016, found that Mrs Clinton’s email system violated government policy and that she did not receive permission prior to instituting it - approval that would not have been granted had she asked. Such transgressions, however, do not constitute criminal conduct.

FBI director James Comey announced the results of a separate FBI investigation on 5 July and concluded that that while “there is evidence of potential violations” of criminal statues covering the mishandling of classified information, “our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case”. It referred the matter to the Justice Department, which closed the case against Mrs Clinton and her aides with no charges.

The State Department has since resumed its investigation into whether Mrs Clinton or her aides violated government policy in their handling of classified information. If it determines that they did, the punishment could include a formal letter of reprimand or loss of security clearance.

I think there’s a bit of a disconnect because Trump, even before his first term, but definitely after was clearly ok doing illegal things. Other than him saying he wanted to lock her up and that being something you wanted, did you at the time or now perceive him to be honest and someone who cares about the rule of law?

I disagree about your population density comment, but we can just leave it there since it’s more tangential.

I think it’s somewhat telling what rights you associated with the parties. Do you think you’d want to end up in the republican or democrat portion if the union split?

Yea, as someone with family and acquaintances that are into Trump, I have generally only seen them become more fanatical.

If you end up finding it, I would be interested to know where. If you remember to, please feel free to come back and let me know.

I commented elsewhere in the thread, and I hate having multiple threads with the same person, but would you mind explaining how she rigged the election against Bernie and why that is illegal?

I’m a Bernie supporter and you can see in my comment history that if anything I’m a Bernie Stan, but what “Hillary did” mostly relates to how the DNC operates. The only reason the DNC has so much influence is because of our election format which favors a two party system. The best way to resolve that is by changing how voting works (ranked choice etc) which is mostly supported by democrats not republicans. Additionally, Hillary won the popular vote. Do you not think it’s a problem that the electoral college was able to invalidate the will of the majority of the population? Is that not a more direct threat to democracy, especially as states attempt to gerrymander more?

You can’t expect a war criminal to hold war criminals accountable. What’s happening with the Venezuelan boats is criminal. He obviously doesn’t care about criminality. I think the issue is that most people that actually cared about criminality were against him in the first place. He has been on record many times about how little he cares for the rule of law, so that dissuaded most people who earnestly cared about the law from supporting him to begin with.

I’m not saying people like you don’t exist at all, but most people that cared about accountability were against him, and the ones that for some reason still supported him are likely now too deep in the Trump mindset to speak against him, or have been convinced that anything said against him is a lie. It has to be said that a lot of people you potentially perceived as “like you” were also grifters, bots/foreign agents, or just trolls, and many of all of those groups have pushed even further right. If you were on Reddit, feel free to go back and see which accounts you saw posting or you were chatting with. See what they’re up to now, if anything. It’s possible I’m wrong and the community you’re referring to is still over there and still feels the same way you do. Otherwise, there are only so many explanations as to what could have happened, and I’m open to hearing other theories.

I was not on that sub because in case it wasn’t clear I’m not a trumper, but if you were in it for the memes, I hate to tell you but a lot of that was foreign influence or people with no actual political views other than lulz. Both those groups have moved on to even more meme-able things with even worse more extreme views. I don’t think people with coherent political positions want “politicians to go to jail”, I think most people want criminals to be held accountable. People rallying around jailing people in general are not my vibe, but maybe it’s worth reflecting on why you think certain people should be jailed and others shouldn’t. Trump is a felon many times over. You can read or watch plenty on what he’s already been found guilty of, and plenty on things he was able to get out of, so maybe jailing politicians has just fallen out of favor with his die hard fans. If you believe that the Epstein files are real, how do you square that with the president calling it a hoax and all the waffling and lying the administration has done about them? The die hard fans are taking the line that it’s all a hoax and the rest are ignoring it because it’s easy to do, just like they ignored all of the other issues with him and his administration. Only you get to decide what you will do with that information. I hope you’re able to find your way out of it.

Lemmy is probably not the best place to expect responses from Trumpers. Your history seems to indicate you hold some leftist views, so maybe some reflection on or engagement with people you’re in community with will help you more, but Trump was never going to accomplish anything you likely wanted him to. He’s a grifter and always was. I’m not familiar with the “you’d be in jail” quote, but presumably most people running for office and threatening to jail others are probably not going to be accomplishing things that benefit most people.

I don’t know why you supported him, but he’s a bad guy with no actual morals and his administration is being run by bad people with possibly even worse morals.

Not the person you’re responding to, but “most likely, we already need to do a lot of optimization work in early access that we didn’t necessarily want to do at that point” indicates to me that optimization was not a top priority. It’s not unusual for people to optimize after a proof of concept or something, but I imagine in gaming (I don’t do game dev admittedly) you don’t want that too late in the process. If they’re not planning on having it in early access, then their early consistent user base will be more worried about other things. If min spec is 8 then people with 4 won’t get it or won’t complain about poor performance because technically it’s their machine that’s the issue. Lack of complaints about that and feedback about other things further shifts the priority away from optimization. Plus, anyone who’s worked in dev spaces or probably any kind of deliverable knows that there are things that just don’t happen despite your best intentions. Things like optimization are the first to go in the dev space, so by openly admitting to putting it off, it does feel like an admission of “we were probably just not going to get around to it”. In my experience, the further out you plan to optimize, the more man hours you end up wasting, so I don’t see a company investing heavily in that at any point, but doing so post early launch seems wasteful if they legitimately cared about it.

“Oh don’t worry, you won’t have to actually load spreadsheets anymore, just give our AI full access to your files and it will do whatever you ask :)”

Ideally, you’re correct though and companies start investing in optimization. I don’t see it going that way, but a girl can dream.

As a dirty commie, I agree, but unfortunately under capitalism it is just an avenue for exploitation. Large companies are deciding what we can or cannot have access to and setting the price for it in a manner completely divorced from what they’re offering.

Or more realistically be used as an excuse for always online cloud based services a la office 365. “We would let you download the app, but most users don’t have the computing power so instead we’ll just make this a helpful subscription!”

I think one of the big issues is it often makes nonhuman errors. Sometimes I forget a semicolon or there’s a typo, but I’m well equipped to handle that. In fact, most programs can actually catch that kind of issue already. AI is more likely to generate code that’s hard to follow and therefore harder to check. It makes debugging more difficult.

Probably Viva La Dirt League. They make skits on YouTube and their own site about gaming.

You are suggesting a user configurable setting, but that’s exactly what they had. Apple had a user wide setting, and then individual apps could ask to override that setting. I have personalized ads off in my general settings, and though I would never turn them on, if for whatever reason I did want to, the best way to get me to do that would be to ask in the specific app I wanted to give access to that. Absolutely no way I would change my overall settings just for the benefit of one app. Others have noted that a second layer of consent was only needed if you did not use the Apple provided ad option, because Apple already has your opt in/out on file. I hope this causes Apple to also display the pop-up for those using Apple ad options. Most people probably just agreed to the tracking when setting up their phone, so forcing Apple to show the pop-up even if an app is using Apple as their ad distributor is ideal in my opinion. Users will be much more likely to opt out even if their overall setting is opt in. This will ideally make Apple and non-Apple advertising options on an even playing field and is better for users. If anything, it’s probably worse for developers because had they just chosen to use Apple ads before they were probably more likely to get targeted ads from the user since Apple would bypass the pop-up.

Numberphile did a video about this game and to my recollection the person presenting it actually had a distinct game of set they and their math friends would play. It was pretty interesting!

For a moment I thought you meant that there’s a group of people looking at the sun and counting black spots that persist in their vision after doing so, then I realized how dumb that was and that you probably were talking about sun spots. That moment of confusion really got me going though.

It really is a big deal. You might not have liked them, but a human used to be employed to make these designs. The more we normalize or accept this the more bold they will become in feeding us nothing but slop. If you think they won’t do the same for movies or TV or music you are wrong. We have to stop them here unless we want slop everywhere.

People can care about multiple things at once. You might not consider it high art, but at one point artists or graphic designers were coming up with these. It was helping that person feed their family. I’m not even personally against AI because it’s stealing jobs or anything, but it’s relatively well known that people that aren’t hand to mouth are able to more actively engage in and support these “more important issues”.

For completeness sake, and because workers should know their rights, I just want to add that many salaried employees do actually qualify for overtime. It’s possible that these devs don’t, but be sure to look into it and know your rights if you are a salaried employee and being forced to do overtime. Wage theft is the most common form of theft, so make sure to protect yourself.

The “auction” is not a realtime auction that you might be used to IRL or anything, and these brands likely have AI already doing that. They likely have certain bid strategies and ad budgets. So they may be willing to pay up to $X to be in that spot for a user with demographic/behavior profile A and pay up to $Y for a user with profile B then the have an overall budget for that ad spot of $Q per day. All of those parameters are likely set by a specialized AI that monitors bid strategy over time. The AI might see that users with profile B download the app via the ad more often so they will spend more to capture that audience. It’s possible companies have their own internal strategies, but most ad platforms have at least some of that analysis built in and will regularly offer recommendations based on the data and have had that available for years.
