A very important question is being hypothesized here and I hope we all come to a conclusion sooner rather than later.
Is it better for a FOSS project to be abandoned because a single maintainer is overwhelmed? OR Should a single maintainer use LLM tools to continue a project they no longer are able to handle?
I personally see abandoned projects easier to pick up when left "as is" for someone to eventually come in. Doing massive amounts of ai code that eventually breaks the functionality (or presumably does), and then expecting people to come in to a larger shit storm seems daunting.
oh, just finished reading the "article". It's kinda just an ad for Hartman's new book, this has been going on for 140 years. There was just a recent ruling upholding it is all, Reuters has the actual article. Used to listen to Hartman a lot back in the day, sad to see him using a clickbait-inaccurate title.
Delaware court upholds voting by companies in small town's election (actual correct article title)
The American Civil Liberties Union of Delaware sued the town, arguing it violated the elections clause of the state constitution. The group sought a court order blocking Fenwick Island from counting votes by "non-human artificial entities" in future elections.
Nonresident voting in local elections has been permitted in Fenwick Island since it was incorporated in 1953, according to the court ruling. In 2008, Delaware's General Assembly amended the charter to allow non-resident voting by artificial entities, including corporations, partnerships, trusts and limited liability companies, which must be chartered in Delaware.
Definitely shitty situation, but wtf Thom? From his opinion article:
Seriously. Not dystopian science fiction or a new novel by an AI version of George Orwell. Actual corporations
From the reuters article:
Karsnitz said he appreciated that the ACLU of Delaware might disagree with corporate voting. "Visions of faceless large corporations or even HAL controlling a small town are frightening and the stuff of science fiction," he wrote
Is this just AI eating itself or like blatant lazy-plagiarism style writing to make an ad?
I use walmart for a select few items that are recurring monthly because I can't get them at any other store locally. I don't do shipping anymore because often when something is delivered it's an individual driving for some reason (had a like 3$ item the store was out of stock with, next day some poor soul had to drive it all the way out to my place to deliver a piece of plastic)
The App for Walmart is the biggest piece of shit I've ever ran into! It just keeps getting worse month after month, pages of sponsored items when searching (which reloads sponsored content again when loading more results), video after video completely fucking the app up with lag. You can't filter by unit price anymore, constant pop ups for Walmart+, trash sidescroll recommendations literally every few results, and even selecting "in-store" gets bullshit results and recommendations that have to be shipped.
I realized a few weeks ago, when a question was asked about what all the off-shoots of the fediverse were, that the "lemmy-style" of social media is the only one I like (piefed,etc included). I realized all the other ones focused on "following users" which is why I never got into them. I use voyager a lot to lurk when I'm away from the pc and it doesn't even show who posts it.
I just have no desire to follow an individual, company, influencer, or celebrity shit. I'm here for the content, poster be damned (but respectfully appreciate their contribution). I want a subscription feed based off of categories, just wish there was a video platform that did the same thing (I was always horrible about not using subscription feed for youtube and mostly only used it for local and news).
He did such an awesome job, I wanted to post the video but I have no idea where to post it. It's not really politics or political leaders but it is. Every community that I went to, it seems like it would break a rule so happy to see someone shitposting it at least.
Interesting getting some downvotes with no comment pushbacks on the validity of their scientific process even with posting their methods. Is this just people upset that someone is challenging their beliefs that are being reinforced with the graphic but can't dispute any positives in their data collection process?
Commented above, it's actually worse for septic tank systems. Your sewage is collected by a business (with your particular address and name associated with billing) and processed at some of the same facilities the monitoring equipment would be setup at. You would have years of drug use stored as evidence (and the tank on your property for further evidence) and they would have a better case of probable cause to investigate your particular residence instead of a county/town wide report.
NP! it's a shit acronym to be honest lol. Someone must get off to it because it's used everywhere instead of actual titles and/or departments in the states.
I wouldn't be too sure of that, could actually be worse for septic system users. I could easily see a system implemented where a septic tank truck has to be "inspected" when it goes to process the waste. If sensors tripped or flagged then they would sequester the employee and his logs which would lead them straight to your house or a few handful. Kinda like how junkyards require identification and address the metals came from in case an investigation needs to be launched about stolen goods.
so I'm not sure what you're replying too because the comment was deleted but I've always been fascinated by the instance-hating and what causes it. Like a particular mod, admin, or even community you've interacted with, I kinda get. But the broader instance thing is just.... interesting.
I don't know if piefed.social has a different kind of setup, but I'm not bombarded with a lot of what instance-haters report to have happening. I'm not getting personal messages or stickied posts on my feeds, it's basically the same all feed when I use any other instance just browsing without a login (I like to visit places like lemmy.today and their sick ass layout on tablet). My subscription feed would be the same regardless as well if I migrated. I found myself on .ml because years ago instances weren't as reliable with downtime or loaded slowly/error-ed but .ml was always responsive and up for me. The only reason I've stayed is because of people who hate .ml actually, like you don't look down on someone because of the neighborhood they live in do you? For those that automatically block an entire instance, I'm just kinda glad I don't have to deal with them in that sense.
I also might be missing part of your modlog if it's not showing for me but I only see 5 bans for "anti-ai troll" 2 months ago and 3 for "Pro-Zionist debate/apologia" 9 days ago. The 3 recent are easy to figure out because of the lengthy comments you had in the crazy ass post "Update: anarchist.nexus has been refederated" (I tried to stay away from that because it all looked heated at the time lol). The 2 months ago is easy to find if you manipulate your profile link with changing comment page numbers by 5's and just look at the dates. You commented on a post that was cross-posted to several of the lemmy.dbzer0.com communities saying anti-ai stuff and got banned several minutes after that. (I'm not a mod of these communities so not judging or stating whether the ban's were valid, just sharing why they probably happened).
I hope that anyone taking meaning or valuation from this data seriously looks into the methods and how fucked this whole survey process is (as you should with any data you're forming an opinion from). I'm kinda just sick and tired of crap like this being taken seriously as a true projection of a populace. I get that surveys are rough science, but the way it's disseminated through articles or comments is that it's gospel truth (pun intended).
I don't know why but the way this post was written made me read it in Tim Pool's voice. Guess I gotta lay off majority report videos for a while now. Glad to see push back and acknowledgement in the comments that this data is irrelevant. It's neat, but way too many factors and stretching of meanings which makes this a worthless analysis (with a very blatant bias in the reporting).
Had the same wtf thinking how this is going down globally. Like America's situation currently, totally get it. But, everyday it seems another government is pushing this regardless of the political spectrum that supposedly exists.
Really curious why I'm not seeing more articles about the individuals in legislation that are pushing this and what funding/lobbying they're receiving. There has to be multiple common threads because politicians aren't commonly "in the know" of current tech unless someones whispering a direction in their ear.
You say that but it seems like the current administration has made a lot of change in less than 2 years when the entirety of the party is in lock-step.
Imagine if instead of ACA we got medicare for all, meaning Republicans trying to touch it would've effected every single citizen akin to social security that they still haven't successfully gutted because of the political suicide it would cause for them.
Dark covered what to do if you're not getting 240 at the top of the tank (inspect the line from tank to breaker), so I'll throw some ideas at you if you are getting 240 at the top (just so you don't have to wait for further replies and can jump on the next step and get this done). Btw, kudos to your household for being patient with this process. It's not just diagnosing, but a learning and troubleshooting process. They're a saint and let them know we all appreciate the sacrifice.
Test the black wire coming out of the top of the tank for a break, that's the one you had the low reading on previously from your pictures. It travels from the top of the tank down to the thermostat on the left side. Make sure the wires are completely disengaged from the thermostat and not touching other wires before testing. In your picture it looks like you might be pressing the black wire against the terminal when you were testing it which would give a bad reading (hard to tell from 2d). Simple testing tutorial (3:10s long)
If the wire is good, test the thermostats as demonstrated in this video after making sure all wires are completely out of the way. Thermostat Testing (4:25s long).
I know you've done this before, but these are simplified tests and redoing/varying a test is never a bad idea. The more reasons to practice with a multimeter you have, the better you'll be as well.
Typically water heaters are ran with 10/2 since a neutral isn't required unless you're doing an advanced setup. The top of the water tank under the conduit will be spliced like this picture
The red and black are internal wiring between the top splice and thermostat
@yo_scottie_oh@lemmy.ml I'm not sure if you missed my comment earlier above here, that video will also show in depth how to properly test the breaker inside of the box and outside of it plus goes over the do's and dont's of the procedure.
That definitely makes me feel better seeing the pan, looks like an add-on with those wires going in. Possibly a sump pump/dehumidifier in an enclosed crawl space with lighting? If you get a chance to crawl under there it's always good to do a rough draft diagram of what's going where or just visually get the gist of what's going on if you're interested in your layout/systems.
The test of the electrical wires on the top of the tank will be the same tests you would perform by the thermostat that @Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca suggested, only difference is if one of the wires was damaged leading from the top of the tank to the thermostat but that's like a 1/million chance. If you're comfortable working around the thermostat it's probably easier to test each hot wire in there individually than additionally opening up the top.
If one of those lines are dead than I would suggest testing the breaker at the box (as dark said, sometimes breakers go bad but also such a rare occurrence compared to therm and elements), same kinda technique but use a lot more caution as you're opening up your breaker box. reference/tutorial video here, make sure you switch the main breaker off before taking the cover off, either in the top of your box or if it's a sub panel, then a different switch in your main box. Follow the videos advice and make some mental notes as he goes over the bus bar and the dangers associated with the box. Pretend the box exposed is a hot poisonous potato and you're playing operation and you will be fine.
The great part about this is if you're successful you've now unlocked the ability to add new lines in your house (code compliant of course, there are resources to make sure you're doing it right). You should feel uncomfortable and weary while doing these steps, complacency in electrical work is what gets you injured or killed.

What is the American Trends Panel (ATP)? (thank you @TragicNotCute@lemmy.world
Oversampling is used to study small groups, not bias poll results

I posted a comment as well and funnily enough used the same wiring diagram because it looked the best and simplest lol.
