Bidenomics Isn’t Working For Working People ( www.levernews.com )

Not everyone agrees that “Bidenomics” has been a success. A recent poll found that only 34 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s economic leadership, compared to his 41-percent overall approval rating. Just 20 percent of voters think the economy is good or excellent, compared to 78 percent who say it is only fair or...

Not really. The money is going to American workers producing military hardware. Most of that is the US upgrading to new equipment and giving away the old for a low price.

This sounds like right wing fox news style nonsense IMO.

When an authoritarian dictator invades a foreign country, there is one giant overwhelming lesson about what happens when others act passively or appease the criminal. This simple fact should slap anyone a hundred miles down the road for suggesting appeasement is a sound policy. This only ends with the end if Putin, much like the Nazis only ended with the end of Hitler. Anything less will result in WW3 as a guaranteed outcome. It will be more one sided. The entire Russian GDP is less than just the state of Texas. But it will be nuclear and era ending, likely with the majority of surviving humanity in the southern hemisphere.

If anything, we should be giving Ukraine absolutely anything they want right now. Let them win before we have to go over there and start dying to stop Putin somewhere halfway across Europe. Putin has proven he will never stop trying to conquer. He is the new Hitler. He keeps power by force and what he has called ‘convenient idiots’ that follow whatever misinformation they are given. It is a propaganda misdirection scheme to talk about things out of context like saying military spending in Ukraine is somehow on the US tax payer. This is completely wrong and intended to provoke people that can’t look at an issue and think for longer than the headline.

Should be ripping out Windows and getting Fedora Workstation working on a new machine. I’ll probably start working on installing the AI tools I used to justify the new rig. I’m halfway thinking about modifying my laptop bed stand to add more cooling capacity built in, but it kinda depends on how hot it gets with the GPU at full tilt.

I also need to make some progress getting my desk/hobby electronics workstation back to useful conditions and reinstall all of my lighting.

I’m interested in integrating Stable Diffusion with Blender for CAD modeling, and using PrivateGPT (a text chat model) to process a bunch of text about computer science stuff and be able to ask it questions about the text, hopefully with cited references.

Haven’t done it myself yet, but the links have the info

Edit: mixed up about accounts and what I was replying to. These are the links (from my other post):

PrivateGPT is on my list to try after someone posted about it weeks ago with this how to article (that has a view limit embedded before a pay wall)/github project repo:
