But they do need certain things to work.

I think another poster may have the right of it. Step 2 was never expected to work, and the point is to destabilize the US.

They're quickly discovering they need certain people. Like the nuclear oversight people they fired. They don't know what they are doing, and the plan cannot work.

Step 1 of Project 2025 is to fire all the federal workers. Step 2 is to replace them with Trump loyalists.

Problem is that Step 2 is fraught with so many natural road blocks that it's completely insane to think it could work. Hiring that many people all at once is nuts. Simply entering them into the payroll system takes effort. Oh, you already fired all the payroll entry people? How is that going to work?

Nope, they just drowned the federal government in a bathtub while leaving the tyrannical parts smoking a cigar the next room over.

Presumably, those cargo trains still need to run on those routes, but they have no economic incentive to do it fast. You don't want even regular passenger services and cargo on the same line if you can avoid it. Amtrak has a lot of issues because of that. For high speed rail, it could never live up to its name.

America has tons of land. Even without reusing existing interstate corridors, there are some viable new corridors.

Honda doesn't want this to happen. They're under pressure from the Japanese government to keep the company going so the country doesn't lose a heavy industry company. This is probably a demand to try to wiggle away.

I, too, love hearing the sounds of my fellow citizens suffering. Makes me hard. Want to jerk off together?

It'll be interesting to see how Prophecy of the Pope people handle it when this pope gets replaced normally like all the others.

The only possible way DOGE would eliminate that code is if the agency doesn't exist anymore.

Would it be taken as a sign to invade France, not invade France, eat a French bread sub sandwich for lunch, or ...?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 18 points 1 day ago (6 children)

That's a delusional answer.

Yeah, great. Is DOGE going to fix any of that?

 
 

There might be a good reason for this. Raster effects were already really good in newer games, and ray tracing could only improve on that high bar. It's filling in details that are barely noticeable, but creap ever so slightly closer to photorealism.

Old games start from a low bar, so ray tracing has dramatic improvement.

 

Not 100% sure if this is a Summit issue or something in Lemmy more generally. Here's the post in question:

https://midwest.social/post/10123989

The link to the blog works on my instance for the desktop. Several other users were reporting the link being broken, and it does break for me on Summit, as well.

When I hit the link on Summit, the requests on the server are GET /api/v3/post?id=2024 and GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All. It looks like it parsed out the "2024" from the original link and tried to use that in a Lemmy API call.

Which linked to my blog here: https://wumpus-cave.net/post/2024/03/2024-03-20-moores-law-is-dead/index.html

On my instance (midwest.social), this works fine. However, some other users were reporting a broken link, and I also see a broken link when using my mobile app (Summit). When it breaks, I see these calls in the server logs:

  • GET /api/v3/post?id=2024
  • GET /api/v3/comment/list?max_depth=6&post_id=2024&sort=Top&type_=All

Which appear to be Lemmy API calls with some of the actual link data built in.
