A new poll found more Americans are unhappy with Donald Trump's stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.

In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump's actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That's a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he's done more to lower costs.

The survey also found more Americans (38%) blame Trump for inflation than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden (31%), despite the now-president campaigning on the economy during his successful 2024 presidential bid.

The governor told NBC News that the president's mental state should be serious cause for concern.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) accused Donald Trump of behaving erratically after a Thanksgiving rant where he raged at the Democrat and called him a slur.

During a Sunday morning appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” the 2024 vice presidential candidate suggested the president was “fading physically,” and his “mental capacity” should also be serious cause for concern.

In a late Thursday evening rant, the Trump called Walz “seriously retarded” while falsely accusing him of allowing “hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia” to invade his state.

The White House has launched a tracker designed to call out "media offenders" every week. The site labels every story the Trump administration objects to by classifying them into categories like "lie" or "bias."

Imagine if you could set up an entire file server in two steps, on any device. Just download a 1Mb file, and then run it.

I know folks have mentioned it here before, but I've been running CopyParty for a month or so, and I'm extremely impressed. After setting up multiple Docker services on my home server, I almost couldn't believe how simple this was to set up and use. I had to install Python, but after that, it's just two steps. Download the file, and then run it.

It's not exactly the prettiest interface in the world, but it will turn any device that can run Python into a complete file server. The web interface will run on basically any device you can think of. It's not fancy, but it's pretty intuitive once you learn how to use it and extremely responsive.

I've seen some discussion recently about different file servers and file syncing like Syncthing, NextCloud, etc. I'm not sure if many people know about CopyParty and use it.

It has a lot of customizable features, and can operate on all sorts of configurations. I have it set up as a remote drive on my phone and office computer. I use the web interface to preview audio files and text files. I use it to manage downloads into the designated folders I need to put them in.

It is at least as fast as any other upload or download service I've used on my home server Usually it's even faster. It can quickly search files, including the contents of files, and automatically detect duplicates.

If I knew self-hosting could be this easy, I probably would have started even sooner. I might have even started testing on an unused cell phone I have lying around.

There are a couple gaps that have prevented me from diving all in. There's no file versioning built in. So if a file is overridden by mistake, it can't be rolled back using copyparty. There are no dedicated apps, so things like built-in file search and indexing depend on the capabilities of the OS (you can always access the indexed search through the web interface, but that's not always the most convenient). Some of the features, like the blazing fast upload, are only available through the browser.

Like any software, it's not perfect, but it is extremely impressive and very good at what it does. Which is a lot.

AI startups are seeing record valuations, but many are building on a foundation of cheap, free-to-download Chinese AI models.

Surveying the state of America’s artificial intelligence landscape earlier this year, Misha Laskin was concerned.

Laskin, a theoretical physicist and machine learning engineer who helped create some of Google’s most powerful AI models, saw a growing embrace among American AI companies of free, customizable and increasingly powerful “open” AI models.

But most of these models were being made in China, and these systems were quickly gaining ground on their U.S. competitors.
