Not that I disagree with the idea of Democrats shifting right, but it’s a very small shift supported by very few data points. The line probably wouldn’t have changed much with more data. OTOH, the Republican spike is way too much to be an outlier.

It’s very possible. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the CPU and APU do a little acknowledgment handshake every time an audio program finishes. I’m willing to bet there a lot of instances of the CPU subroutine waiting on the APU, e.g. an animation waiting for a sound cue to finish can advance slightly faster.

A more complicated but ultimately faster approach is using a structure like an Entity Component System. You build an entity (deer, person, plant) out of components that are just data (health, hunger, mood), and then each type of component has a corresponding system that updates all the components at once based on other values. It’s somewhat similar, but you save space on unnecessary components not being added, and it packs the data together in way that is faster for the computer to iterate through.

It’s got me worried why. Yeah, Musk pretty much bankrolled his campaign, but is that really all takes to make a lapdog out of Trump? The man who has shown zero loyalty to anyone but himself? I guess he seems pretty loyal to Russia, but that’s a different story.

Trump is trying to sell EVs to people who he has already convinced to hate EVs. The people who buy Trump stuff think EVs are a liberal plot to turn everyone into gay communists.

I have no doubt they’ve already added Tesla to their list of cognitive dissonances because Daddy Trump told them to. They have no real strong convictions beyond wanting to hurt minorities and loving Trump.

Probably both. He promised tax cuts for the wealthy, and they thought he’d be easily manipulated like last time. Unfortunately for the rich his Russian handlers want the economy destroyed and they’re the only ones he’s beholden to.

Maybe not as much as we would like, but each court order gives departments more leverage to resist illegal executive orders. We’ll see more and more examples like USADF barring DOGE from entering the building.

I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

It’s not about being current, it’s the fact they think it’s the same as it was in 1970. Being so wildly outdated impacts how they vote and their views on younger generations.

I’m sure a social safety net propped up entirely by bureaucrats is going to suddenly deprive every one of their rights. It won’t be a government with mass surveillance and militarized police. Nope, those are definitely not two different things. Big government is big government regardless of form apparently.
