Do you think train operators should make a quarter million a year to drive the same train on the same route every day?

The "train operators" cited were averaging around $80k for a 40 hour week. That comes to an hourly pay of around $38, when not working overtime. I don't see that as crazy high pay for a place like SF.

I don't know if there's any evidence that your tax dollars went to sex change operations in Guatemala.

$350k (out of $2 million) was given to ASOCIACION LAMBDA. Yes, gender affirming care is mentioned in the description but that could mean almost anything. [1]

If you look at what they promote it's mostly about gender equality and protecting people from violence. Workshops, safe spaces, collecting statistics, some HIV testing stuff. [2][3][4][5]

I'm not saying it's impossible but I haven't seen any evidence and the people making the claims are known chronic liars.

And most of FEMA's budget was not spent on housing illegal migrants. Disaster relief funding is separate and much larger than Shelter and Services Program funding[6][7][8], as ordered by Congress in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. [9]

>Once you have Magisk stabilized, install the Advanced Charging Controller, and configure it to halt charging at 80%.

That will reduce future wear, but won't suddenly make the battery better. If anything it'll make the battery even worse, at least in the short term.

My 4a went from 3 day battery life to less than a day, immediately after the "update".

I have been looking for other previous Chinese open-source AI projects and I haven't had a lot of luck. Does anyone know where they would be hosted?

> If AMD keeps with tradition, which we fully expect, we will see these monstrous APU chips come to desktop PCs in the future.

How far in the future? I don't need another laptop, but would be nice to have a box to run local llms on. If these things can run LLMs at a decent clip then this would be sort of a "shut up and take my money" situation.

The problem with using these on a AM5 motherboard would be that these chips have quad channel ddr5, while AM5 has 2 memory channels.

According to that benchmark a 7900xtx is equal to a 2080ti in performance.

Do the companies that buy these chips like this pay full price? I've always heard that volume buyers get deals we consumers aren't privy to.

I am using a VPN exit node in Brazil now and X is visible.
