To Americans: How far apart is everything in the US?
  • Depends on location, but I don’t think I’m too bad.

    • To the nearest convenience store (more than that, really; a drug store and mini grocery store): 400m
    • To the nearest chain supermarket: 2km
    • To the bus stop: 100m (but the bus doesn’t go many places
    • To the nearest park: 600m (a small park, a much larger one 2km away)
    • To the nearest *big* supermarket: 6km
    • To the nearest library: 2.5km
    • To the nearest train station: 2km for local rail, like 25km for rare intercity trains
  • Lowest bidder quality
  • It's the same builders that build the cheap homes

    What cheap homes? No one is building those these days, other than maybe Habitat for Humanity and companies making mobile/prefab homes.

  • Trump and Vance have no plan to fix one of America's biggest crises
  • The don’t have a plan to fix ANY crisis. Or problem.

    Republicans have only a few plans:

    • Tax cuts for the rich
    • Appoint conservative judges that will ignore the law in favor their political beliefs
    • Ban abortion
    • Repeal LQBTQ+ rights
    • Send more people to prison
    • Fire every liberal in government
  • The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • But that is just it. When a commercial enterprise is literally saving copyrighted content and car reproduce it on demand, copyright holders have every right to object. Either use public domain materials and/or license copyrighted materials, or don’t try to make money off AI.

  • The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages. The AI discards the original text, keeping only abstract representations in "vector space".

    Citation needed. I’m pretty sure LLMs have exactly reproduced copyrighted passages. And considering it can created detailed summaries of copyrighted texts, it obviously has to save more than “abstract representations.”

  • Airbnb's struggles go beyond people spending less. It's losing some travelers to hotels.
  • Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

    The complaint is showing why the things in the article are happening. People are choosing hotels because they are priced out of short term rentals.

    And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.

    Reddit @lemmy.ml derf82 @lemmy.world

    Libreddit and Teddit are practically dead

    It appears API rate limiting has effectively killed these alternatives. You essentially get nothing but “Too many requests” 429 errors.

    Lemmy sadly does not have the active niche news and discussions I want. But now nothing can be read without going to Reddit. I hate Spez

    Bodycam of Lorain Cop Elliot Palmer shooting a Golden Retriever, including multiple times after the dog tried to run away (warning - animal shot in video)

    What a garbage human being this cop is. I don't even like dogs, and I can tell that dog was zero threat. Yet he shot the dog, and even continued firing as the dog was running away. And it is clear this asshole doesn't even care, and it is clear Lorain Police just want to sweep it under the rug. It is sickening.

    Welcome to Bourbon!

    Welcome to the Bourbon community! This is a place to discuss reviews, news, bourbon tourisim, and other things related to America's spirit. A few rules:

    1. No whiskey porn, store alerts, bottle pricing, or selling/trading.
    2. You can talk about bourbon or any other American-style whiskey (rye, wheat whiskey, American single malt, etc). Scotch & Japanese whiskey, however, can stay on their own communities.
