Will there be accountability, finally...or, more stalling and distractions? Will it be another disappointment, as the Epstein Declassification has been, to this point...or, Will we finally see Arrests and Perp Walks?

"On Sunday Kash Patel announced the bureau has uncovered a trove of hidden Russiagate documents. He said the documents will be released soon.
βI was the lead Russiagate investigator for the House Intelligence Committeeβ¦Iβm telling you and the American public that we have found material and information and people who wanted to hide it from the world since we got in these seats,β Kash Patel said on βSunday Morning Futures.β
Kash Patel and Dan Bongino ripped into former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for βlying to federal courts,β hiding evidence and weaponizing the FBI against political opponents.
βAs much as we know about Crossfire Hurricane, he and I just found out more last week,β Kash Patel said. βWeβre about to see a wave of transparency. Just give us about a week or two.β
Director Patel said Comey, McCabe, Peter Strzok and others committed multiple crimes including intentionally lying to a federal court, rigging a presidential election, using taxpayer dollars likely illegally to fund their operation and hiding documents from Congress."

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

I already have something positive to say about so-called "AI", actually LLMs. Specifically the ones that are either "made" to be good at generating code or do it almost incidentally.
I have spent some time having a variety of these models generate code. Mainly around some sort of "trick question" type request. One where they are most likely to make one or two optimization mistakes.
They do make these mistakes more often than not, but in the real world it would probably never make any difference considering the processing power available even on a toaster, and that most modern systems will be waiting for calls to the disk, network, cloud ,or db.
The point is; here is my positive take:
Every bit of AI generated code i have seen from the models that are rated "good" at it is better than any pajeet code i have ever seen in my entire career. Off-shore and H1B.
Grok is really good at refining code after generating code that is "askew" of what you originally wanted you can keep going and focus the code gen to a real solution.
Haven't ever paid for any AI service [I had free ChatGPT for a time] but what surprises me is the result you can get w/out paying nuttin.
@jazzilla like the "impressive" part to me is as you say. Especially as an experienced programmer, if I add just a couple extra words I can get it to generate what I want without the optimization issues.

I am a reddit refugee from the mod wars. I love it here. I originally made an mbin account but then 9 months ago mbin seemed to die so I made a new fedia.io account and things have been going swimmingly so far.
A few days ago I noticed that fedia.io pages have been loading increasingly slowly. All I am wondering is where the best magazine/online place/other forum I can check is to see if there are any issues happening on fedia.io or anything that might be responsible for the slowed performance.
I can't just search "Is fedia.io down" like I would with other online resources. Any help or steer towards more appropriate places for me to ask this question would be much appreciated.
There is !fedia@fedia.io but that place seems inactive. I couldn't find a status page listed in their sidebar. When I was looking around it was very slow so it isn't just a problem with you

US President Donald Trump wants to hold a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin as soon as feasible, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Saturday.
Louis Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, clarified that while the new pope is more liberal than himself, he will not pursue radical changes and intends to maintain the reforms initiated by Pope Francis.
Prevost emphasized that Pope Leo XIV will not overturn the changes made by Pope Francis and is unlikely to endorse major doctrinal shifts such as the ordination of women or the approval of same-sex marriage, aligning with the Church's traditional views.
Prevost predicted potential tensions but no significant conflict between Pope Leo XIV and President Trump, comparing their relationship to Trump's interactions with other leaders. He highlighted the pope's potential role as a mediator and peacemaker, suggesting a balanced and pragmatic approach to international relations.
Prevost defended his controversial social media post about Nancy Pelosi but acknowledged the need to "tone it down" to avoid creating challenges for his brother. He indicated a shift in his approach to avoid provocative comments that could impact the pope's reputation.
The interview suggests that Pope Leo XIV will adopt a centrist approach, balancing tradition with modernity. His commitment to continuity and pragmatic leadership is expected to provide stability and direction for the Church during uncertain times.
Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles. I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc. Unprecedented levels of flop! www.torquenews.com/11826/tesla-...
Tesla has reversed its policy barring Cybertruck trade-ins. A Cybertruck owner says Tesla offered him $65,400 for his $100,00 truck with 6,200 miles. This means, according to Tesla, a Cybertruck loses $5.6 for every mile driven.
This guy is still mad at me because I said "likely illegal" in discussing Trump's sketchy (and likely illegal) plane deal. The difference is that over on X I'd be yelled at for using the word "illegal". Here I'm yelled at for "likely".
That made me chuckle. Well, it would be funny if the subject wasn't so serious. Wanting to yell seems to be very part of the human condition though I'd still prefer if people were a little less... yell-y... Ah well.
