Dakizhu··on NSF faces shake-up as officials abolish its 37 divisions
No this is what most of their supporters genuinely believe. They think people working in a factory generate more real economic value than people working in offices.
Dakizhu··on Trump temporarily drops tariffs to 10% for most countries
Sounds like they’ll have to rehire some of the federal employees fired by DOGE.
Dakizhu··on A bear case: My predictions regarding AI progress
Honestly, yes. Calling in an order can result in the restaurant botching the order and you have no way to challenge it unless you recorded the call. Also, as someone who’s been on both sides of the transaction, some people have poor audio quality or speak accented English, which is difficult to understand. Ordering from a screen saves everyone valuable time and reduces confusion.
Dakizhu··on Justin Trudeau promises to resign as PM
What’s dreadful is the rising cost of living and lack of affordable housing, which he failed to address. Moreover he doubled immigration during a time when the average Canadian was struggling to keep up with rising expenses.

I’m pro-immigration but not at an unsustainable rate. Housing construction was not keeping up.

Trudeau pushed beyond the limits of pro-immigration policy. If it was just conservative propaganda, the liberals wouldn’t be looking at a potentially historic election loss based on current polling.

That said, I don’t think conservatives will fix anything.

Dakizhu··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Seems kind of silly. Laundry machines and dishwashers exist. The issue with the last mile is more robotics and control engineering than strictly AI. It's getting annoying seeing AI used as an umbrella term for everything related to automation.
Dakizhu··on I Was Illegally Fired by Amazon for Speaking Out About a Coworker's Death (2023)
I'm not clear on when exactly he let HR know, but the original post makes it seem like he let them know a week before. I think at least a couple months notice makes more sense depending on the duration of leave.
Dakizhu··on Facebook reverses Kyle Rittenhouse policy
The meeting was arranged by Lin Wood at the time and he was promptly fired afterward. FYI the 'ok' sign is also used by lots of 'normal' conservatives and even non conservatives. The symbology was invented by 4chan first along with many other campaigns to turn widely used symbols (Pepe) into something associated with nazis. A lot of people who aren't affiliated in any way with nazis still continue to use it because of the original trolling motive and/or they don't know of the association.

Dakizhu··on Facebook reverses Kyle Rittenhouse policy
To preface this, I think Kyle is a wannabe cop and I still think he shouldn't have been there. But the narrative that he's a white supremacist is probably false. The bar incident occurred because it was arranged by Lin Wood who he fired afterward. Also the FBI investigated him and found no connection to white supremacists iirc.
Dakizhu··on Report: Young adults more likely to live with parents than spouses
Even if they did vote, a lot of the politically active young renters oppose new development since they see it as gentrification or only enriching real estate developers or only building luxury housing.
