| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights- ( status 403 @ https://www.axios.com/local/chicago/2026/02/12/candidates-illinois-9th-district-schakowsky-biss-abughazaleh ) | Feb 15 00:00 | |
| IsambardPrince | I'd vote for Daniel Biss honestly, if I could. | Feb 15 00:00 |
| IsambardPrince | He actually showed up and asked CBP to leave Evanston and stop causing problems. | Feb 15 00:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I did vote for Biss when he was running for Governor, but JB Pritzker is rich so he just dumped unlimited money into his own campign. | Feb 15 00:01 |
| IsambardPrince | He's been the most influential governor in the last 45 years though. | Feb 15 00:01 |
| IsambardPrince | After Mike Madigan (the House Speaker) finally got taken down in the ComEd Scandal, the power shifted back to the Governor's office. | Feb 15 00:02 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.propublica.org | How Obamacare Enabled a Christian Health Care Cash Grab — ProPublica | Feb 15 00:05 | |
| IsambardPrince | ProPublica has a good article about "Christian Healthshare" and how it takes money and doesn't pay a lot of claims. | Feb 15 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Ever since those idiots that mom and dad voted for took over Medicare, I haven't been receiving my Medicare Claims and Summary Notices in a timely fashion. | Feb 15 00:08 |
| IsambardPrince | I have not seen any claims for 2026 yet, because all of a sudden they're running three months behind and I'm getting bills from the doctors and hospitals and have no idea if they're even the right amounts because there's suddenly nothing to check them against. | Feb 15 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | https://www.asqh.org/i-tried-health-insurance-for-christians-heres-my-honest-take/ | Feb 15 00:12 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-I Tried “Health Insurance for Christians” — Here’s My Honest Take – asqh.org | Feb 15 00:12 | |
| IsambardPrince | Even if they did cover anything worth the premium, I KNOW my mother and I know she is not this organized. | Feb 15 00:12 |
| IsambardPrince | "I left my tax forms somewhere, I just know I did." | Feb 15 00:12 |
| IsambardPrince | She's not going to be copying off invoices and telling the Healthshare Ministry CPT codes. | Feb 15 00:12 |
| IsambardPrince | If I had health insurance in 2009, they probably would have looked at my shoulder at the time and noticed I broke it. | Feb 15 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But I was uninsured so they did the fastest cheapest thing to get me out of the hospital. Nobody ever looked at my shoulder. | Feb 15 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | I just slowly lost the use of an arm and ended up in a lot of pain. | Feb 15 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And then Mandy would make fun of me and laugh at me for it. | Feb 15 00:14 |
| IsambardPrince | 'While I was giving him US citizenship and fixing his teeth and getting his ear surgery so he wouldn't be deaf and doing everything a good and loving spouse does. | Feb 15 00:15 |
| IsambardPrince | My mother dripped poison into my marriage. She told Mandy I didn't do anything for him and that I was "just like my father" and a huge jerk. | Feb 15 00:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Now I'm stressed that I could be homeless. She considers my brother the better of two sons for, I guess, clogging the toilet and throwing a roll of toilet paper in it while it's overflowing and he leaves a 68 year old woman to clean it up. | Feb 15 00:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And he won't quit no matter what anyone tells him. | Feb 15 00:17 |
| IsambardPrince | He sits in his room while she brings him guns and xbox games and pizzas, and he spouts off homophobic and transphobic stuff. He has never had a job, he has never done anything since high school which was 14 _years_ ago, and he's 32 and made her carry in an air conditioner in the middle of the night, causing her to fall over and drop an air conditioner on herself and end up in the hospital. | Feb 15 00:18 |
| IsambardPrince | But I'm the bad son. | Feb 15 00:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I guess I'm stressed out because I'm broke and I can't even afford rent on the small amount I do get. | Feb 15 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody has called me for an interview, not even the "cleaning up dog shit" people. | Feb 15 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | And I'm just sitting here getting angrier about all of this. | Feb 15 00:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Even if anyone was going to hire me, I'm under advice to not accept a job even if I got offered one until I'm divorced, because the person I spoke with doesn't want to risk me ending up having to ALSO pay that parasite alimony money. | Feb 15 00:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Mandy threatened to kill my cats today when he got angry at me. | Feb 15 00:22 |
| MinceR | > he spouts off homophobic and transphobic stuff. | Feb 15 00:22 |
| MinceR | maybe that's why she loves him | Feb 15 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I told him if he killed my cats then he wouldn't even need to worry about the police. | Feb 15 00:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I suppose I could go file for a protective order from him. | Feb 15 00:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Threatening to kill your pets is grounds to file for a protective order. | Feb 15 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | It would force him to stay away from the house. | Feb 15 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I found out something interesting about American Express business cards today. | Feb 15 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | If you add an authorized user to a business card and then you don't pay your bill, the bank can pursue the authorized user for the charges they made on the card. | Feb 15 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you are an employee at a business, you should refuse any employee cards they try to make for you and do not spend any money on those cards. | Feb 15 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Because accepting one means that you are taking on liability if your boss doesn't pay the business expenses you put on your employee card. | Feb 15 00:28 |
| MinceR | i think i knew this | Feb 15 00:29 |
| IsambardPrince | That's not how being an authorized user on a personal card works. The primary account holder is liable for everything. But there is still danger to you that if they don't pay their bill, it could end up on your credit reports. | Feb 15 00:30 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Next time mom asks why I cut out two warts from my own foot ten years ago... | Feb 15 01:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I'll tell her because I went to the podiatrist due to about 10 of them on my feet this time, and so far there's been three appointments with a total co-pay of over $250. | Feb 15 01:24 |
| IsambardPrince | It only took me one go to remove them myself and those two never grew back. | Feb 15 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Plantar warts are pretty stubborn. You think you got them all, several years go by, and there's more. | Feb 15 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I have no idea where I got them at. I've always been pretty careful in public showers and stuff. | Feb 15 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | To always wear sandals. | Feb 15 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I'm paying to have them removed because I've been told that any healthcare expenses are going to be viewed as legitimate. | Feb 15 01:27 |
| IsambardPrince | When people are getting divorced, they know the judge is going to split assets. So it often happens that one of them gets the idea that if they spend it all on themselves, that won't happen and the other spouse will just be out of luck. | Feb 15 01:32 |
| IsambardPrince | But if they find out that you've just been wasting a lot of money, they can reverse it by making you pay the other spouse that amount, or taking some other thing to make up for it. | Feb 15 01:32 |
| IsambardPrince | But as long as you're married, each spouse has the obligation to provide for the other one, things like housing and healthcare. | Feb 15 01:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you can make the case that you spent the money on necessary healthcare, you can spend some of that down and not be sanctioned. | Feb 15 01:33 |
| IsambardPrince | So I knew I was going to need major surgery so I hurried up and did it knowing that I could pay the doctors now. | Feb 15 01:33 |

| MinceR | as for knowing, afaik the best knowledge we have is that knowledge is stored in connections between neurons, and that storage method is modelled by artificial neural networks and transformers | Feb 15 05:15 |
| MinceR | deep learning is an AI technique | Feb 15 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | maybe ML | Feb 15 05:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | AI is a more vague term | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and it lost its meaning | Feb 15 05:16 |
| MinceR | if it is impossible for artificial neural networks and transformers to know things, then it is also impossible for us to know things | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | due to repeated misuse | Feb 15 05:16 |
| MinceR | no, AI is a much more general term | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in know | Feb 15 05:16 |
| MinceR | it covers lots of techniques, many of which are a lot less impressive than deep learning | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and misnomer | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | machine learning is maths and statistics | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or stats being a branch of the former | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but the word "i" is misused | Feb 15 05:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | machine learning is OK | Feb 15 05:16 |
| MinceR | yes, you can represent a neural network with matrices | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we need to stick to that | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | yes, they are maths | Feb 15 05:17 |
| MinceR | doesn't seem to mean that it can't store knowledge | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | our brains don't work like that | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | there are synapses | Feb 15 05:17 |
| MinceR | how do our brains work, then? | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | tyhey work? | Feb 15 05:17 |
| MinceR | yes, there are synapses, and they have the same functionality as connections between artificial neurons | Feb 15 05:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | biology is not zeroes and 1s on storage devices | Feb 15 05:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it is atoms | Feb 15 05:18 |
| MinceR | so? | Feb 15 05:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | made of quarks and stuff | Feb 15 05:18 |
| MinceR | information is the same, regardless of whether it's stored in the state of matter in one way or in another way | Feb 15 05:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so they made up the term "QC" | Feb 15 05:18 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or similar acronyms | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because they try to rel;ate to quantum physics | Feb 15 05:19 |
| MinceR | is that relevant to ANNs yet? | Feb 15 05:19 |
| MinceR | or human brains? | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and relay the idea that we no longer abstractt things down to binaries | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | human brains are not great | Feb 15 05:19 |
| MinceR | indeed, and they're getting worse | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but people have empathy | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or don't | Feb 15 05:19 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | DAs don't | Feb 15 05:19 |
| MinceR | do they? | Feb 15 05:19 |
| MinceR | empathy could be just another emergent property of a sufficiently large neural model | Feb 15 05:20 |
| MinceR | also, do you differentiate between the appearance of empathy and actual empathy, and if so, how? | Feb 15 05:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no, reciprocity | Feb 15 05:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | if taught properly since young age | Feb 15 05:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think social contyrol media dooms it | Feb 15 05:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i think the "selfish gene" covers that, i never read it though | Feb 15 05:21 |
| MinceR | i think the inherent evilness of humans dooms it | Feb 15 05:21 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | eventually, yes | Feb 15 05:21 |
| MinceR | especially when we have memes instructing us to venerate people with ASPD | Feb 15 05:21 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | bribery | Feb 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i have a story about that | Feb 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for the distant future | Feb 15 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the us legal system is easy to buy/bribe | Feb 15 06:09 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], The most lucrative opportunity in my life passed me by because I'm too honest. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | I could have just done like everyone else. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Walk into Chase bank. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Tell them there was a business that was impacted by COVID. A business that doesn't exist. Maybe several. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Walk out with millions in loans, the government wouldn't figure out for a couple years. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Wire it all out of the country. | Feb 15 06:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Use my passport to disappear. | Feb 15 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | And drink margaritas on a beach. | Feb 15 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | That was the only opportunity that Trump ever provided anyone. | Feb 15 06:12 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], It's a well known fact by everyone that's not an idiot... | Feb 15 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | That COVID-19, although bad, was far from the worst pandemic people have ever seen. | Feb 15 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | The 1918 flu was much worse. | Feb 15 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | And in 1918, the government didn't pass anything like the CARES Act. | Feb 15 06:15 |
| IsambardPrince | They needed to shut everything down and pass corrupt "loan" programs with absolutely no safeguards. | Feb 15 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The criminals could go loot them. | Feb 15 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It was designed that way. | Feb 15 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Absolutely nothing should have been shut down. | Feb 15 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The government doesn't suffer. We do. | Feb 15 06:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The consequence of the COVID shutdowns has been 5 years of unrelenting inflation and other economic problems. | Feb 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | excused away | Feb 15 06:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | price of eggs etc | Feb 15 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | The government debt went up over 25% just from the COVID programs and GDP loss. | Feb 15 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And then they get mental defectives like rich urban professionals that did not have any of their income taken from them... | Feb 15 06:17 |
| IsambardPrince | To defend the shutdowns. | Feb 15 06:17 |

| IsambardPrince | Well, the main change between the DirectSound API and XAudio2, is that you have to use WMA with XAudio2. | Feb 15 18:50 |
| IsambardPrince | You could use any codec Windows supported with DirectSound. | Feb 15 18:50 |
| IsambardPrince | Including MP3. | Feb 15 18:51 |
| IsambardPrince | You could also shove an Ogg Vorbis codec in and use that if you wanted to. | Feb 15 18:51 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.xda-developers.com | KDE Plasma 6.6.0 will fix the most annoying part of logging in with biometrics | Feb 15 18:52 | |
| IsambardPrince | On a technical level the WMA codecs are not *bad* they just don't do anything the average user would want that can't be accomplished by an open standard. | Feb 15 18:53 |
| techrights-news | Anon: "the US is no longer an oligarchy, though it was one for several decades. in January 2025 it pivoted to a kakistocracy and has been gutted to the point it is unlikely to survive long, The Kremlin has heavy business investments in each one of the insiders in the regime, both male and female, but the males are _*all*_ active participants in Epstein's activities." | Feb 15 18:53 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.xda-developers.com | GOG has already started working on Linux gaming as it says they're "a big fan" of the OS | Feb 15 18:54 | |
| IsambardPrince | The codecs use most of the MPEG-LA patents on the corresponding AAC profiles. | Feb 15 18:54 |
| IsambardPrince | But some of Microsoft's as well. | Feb 15 18:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Out of the two, AAC was the more obvious choice. | Feb 15 18:54 |
| techrights-news | "It also adds some nice tweaks for some handheld consoles." https://www.xda-developers.com/linux-619-is-out-now-and-it-gives-old-amd-gpus-a-30-speed-boost/ | Feb 15 18:54 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.xda-developers.com | Linux 6.19 is out now, and it gives some old AMD GPUs a 30% speed boost | Feb 15 18:54 | |
| IsambardPrince | What held AAC back was that there was never a good open source encoder for it. | Feb 15 18:55 |
| IsambardPrince | There still isn't. | Feb 15 18:55 |
| techrights-news | "It's looking sleek so far." https://www.xda-developers.com/appmanager-is-a-gear-lever-alternative-with-a-macos-aesthetic-and-it-just-hit-version-300/ | Feb 15 18:55 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.xda-developers.com | AppManager is a Gear Lever alternative with a macOS aesthetic, and it just hit version 3.0.0 | Feb 15 18:55 | |
| IsambardPrince | ffmpeg claims their AAC encoder is okay now, but it's really not. | Feb 15 18:55 |
| IsambardPrince | If you look at the development logs, they adapted some code from the LAME MP3 encoder, but they never optimized it fully. | Feb 15 18:55 |
| IsambardPrince | It's just better than their older encoder. | Feb 15 18:56 |
| IsambardPrince | LAME code doesn't apply cleanly to AAC because MP3 isn't really a pure frequency domain codec. It is also a time domain codec. | Feb 15 18:57 |
| techrights-news | "Get these apps after booting Linux for first time." https://www.makeuseof.com/open-source-apps-i-install-immediately-after-installing-linux/ | Feb 15 18:57 |

| IsambardPrince | And that's not a good thing. It gains some of the problems of both, and has to apply additional filtering to suppress undesirable artifacts, which themselves cause artifacts and lower compression efficiency. | Feb 15 18:58 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.makeuseof.com | 4 reasons I stopped using Ubuntu and don't miss it | Feb 15 18:58 | |
| IsambardPrince | There was a time domain codec based on MPEG-1 Layer II, called Musepack, which was quite good. | Feb 15 18:58 |
| IsambardPrince | It was incredibly fast to encode and decode and roughly comparable to Ogg Vorbis in compression efficiency. | Feb 15 18:58 |

| IsambardPrince | Its memory requirements were also very small even for embedded systems. | Feb 15 18:59 |
| IsambardPrince | But it hasn't been actively developed in years. | Feb 15 18:59 |
| IsambardPrince | Opus is a patent mess full of covenants not to sue. | Feb 15 18:59 |
| IsambardPrince | All the patents that may have applied to Musepack are certainly expired by now. | Feb 15 19:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I think the main one of concern was a Philips patent on Clear Voice Detection. | Feb 15 19:00 |

| IsambardPrince | You don't just get a license to use Opus Patents however you want. | Feb 15 19:00 |
| IsambardPrince | You're only protected if you are making a conforming implementation of Opus. | Feb 15 19:01 |
| techrights-news | "In my search to replace most of the paid programs on my PC with open-source alternatives, LibreOffice checked all the boxes for things that I needed. It gives me a chance to write and create documents and export them in .docx, pdf, or other Microsoft-accessible file formats." | Feb 15 19:01 |
| IsambardPrince | You can't do anything else. You can't even go on to extend Opus. | Feb 15 19:01 |
| IsambardPrince | And many of those patents will be in effect until nearly 2040. | Feb 15 19:02 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy behind Opus left Mozilla, he now works, I think, at Amazon Web Services. | Feb 15 19:02 |

| IsambardPrince | It's like Putin setting up a commission to vote on expanding into Ukraine. | Feb 15 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The Indiana law claims that in order to actually do anything, Illinois has to appoint 4 members of the commission. | Feb 15 22:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Indiana gets 5 for some reason. | Feb 15 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | So it appointed the 5 commission members, and they're having public hearings, but they don't have a quorum to vote on anything, because Illinois didn't appoint anyone. | Feb 15 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And even if it did, then both state legislatures would have to agree on it, and so would Congress. | Feb 15 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | So they have these hearings, and Republican activists from downstate Illinois are attending them. | Feb 15 22:18 |

| IsambardPrince | And some of those "red" colored counties have like 4,000 voters. | Feb 15 22:21 |

| IsambardPrince | And he just barely won that election. | Feb 15 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | Since then, that's unlikely to happen again for a lot of reasons. | Feb 15 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Most of the collar counties have been moving towards the Democrats since then. | Feb 15 22:23 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, All the iPhone and Apple Card ads never use the word "the". | Feb 15 22:24 |
| IsambardPrince | It's never "the Apple Card" or "the iPhone". | Feb 15 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | It says "Get iPhone 17." | Feb 15 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Or "Get Apple Card". | Feb 15 22:25 |
| MinceR | the crApple ads i get come from cultists 99% of the time, not the media | Feb 15 22:25 |
| MinceR | "Get iPhone 17." sounds like an infection | Feb 15 22:25 |
| IsambardPrince | There's probably a reason here. Psychologically when you add the word "the", it reminds people it's just an inanimate object. | Feb 15 22:25 |
| MinceR | it's like "Get Cancer™." | Feb 15 22:26 |
| MinceR | i don't think people in gypsyland are rich enough to be worth translating crApple ads for | Feb 15 22:26 |
| MinceR | and most of them barely even understand hungarian, let alone other languages | Feb 15 22:26 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.ecoticias.com | All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat | Feb 15 22:51 | |
| IsambardPrince | I prefer the Tyler Durden version. | Feb 15 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The entire data center is blown up. | Feb 15 22:51 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone's credit reports are wiped. | Feb 15 22:51 |

| IsambardPrince | <@MinceR> "Get iPhone 17." sounds like an infection | Feb 15 22:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Get gonorrhea. It's good for the environment and okay for you! | Feb 15 22:52 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, They claim that gonorrhea is now resistant to more antibiotics. | Feb 15 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | But knowing the US healthcare system, that may be true, or they might be saying it is so that they can upcode the required treatment to get more money. | Feb 15 22:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Getting a shot of antibiotics in the doctor's office codes as "oh, about $2,000, plus the visit". | Feb 15 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | A bottle of Cipro costs about $20. | Feb 15 22:54 |
| IsambardPrince | The UK is immunizing people at high risk of contracting gonorrhea with the Meningitis B vaccine. | Feb 15 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The two are similar enough that the MenB series is about 40% effective against gonorrhea. | Feb 15 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | Not enough to say you won't get it, but enough to get better numbers as far as total infections across an entire country. | Feb 15 22:55 |
| IsambardPrince | It's not bad advice to get vaccinated against anything that can spread sexually that does have a vaccine. | Feb 15 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Many have a vaccine, most don't. | Feb 15 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | HPV, Hepatitis A and B, Meningitis. | Feb 15 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | Those make a lot of sense if you're sexually active. | Feb 15 22:56 |
| IsambardPrince | One of the things that makes the various other STDs more dangerous is that where there's one, there's often more. | Feb 15 22:57 |
| IsambardPrince | That's because they make you more susceptible to also contracting something else, like HIV. | Feb 15 22:57 |

| IsambardPrince | They said "$120". | Feb 15 23:22 |
