And because I love the game of explaining direct costs: every single taxpayer just paid $10 for this. Of course, since our government is flat broke, it's going to be more from inte…

Because those are our only two options? We ar perfectly capable of intelligently changing how we calculate inflation. And the current administration's idea that if an American stop…

Its a good thing that we didn't start a war for no reason that caused the price of fuel to skyrocket.

In several states we have moved well beyond "fixable". For instance, in Texas, where they are outright saying that they are redrawing districts with the explicit goal of preventing…

Are you pretending that political losses are not losses? Getting into a war you cannot fund, fuel, or staff and having to retreat is called "losing".

Read the rest of my comment, I get there eventually.

Until there is. We have thus far been supremely lucky that irrational actors have not acquired a nuclear bomb. But the reality is that throughout history most leaders have been irr…

From your own link, there are 12,000 injury related deaths. Of those, over 1/3 are firearms related and 1/3 of those are homicides. They may not be school shootings, but damn does …

Beyond the obvious fact nobody really uses the cold war definition anymore, are you really insinuating those countries are socialist ?

This logic never made sense to me. The woman is clearly a human life too, and every western country has a right to self defense. A fetus is an imminent danger to women, their healt…

If multiple people are confused on what you're saying, you should probably clarify with better wording.

So you don't actually have real criticisms of the architecture at all...?

I mean, insult me all you want, but you'd be pissed if your mechanic didn't use code readers or your carpenter used hand drills to pad their hours. I do hand programming for myself…

Why? I'm an "artisanal programmer" at heart, but for the past year I've been using these to great effect. A car that needs to be started with a hand-crank and occasionally stalls i…

Let's be clear, there is no underlying crime at all as far as we are aware. So the appropriate hypothetical is: You ate a grilled cheese in your home and wipe the crumbs into the b…

ICE has openly murdered multiple US citizens in broad daylight and on camera, hundreds of miles away from any border, with zero consequences. You're starting to perceive us as tota…

Something like 90% of US residential buildings have AC. For Europe, it's around 20% (for good reason, mind you). It's not a meme if it's an actual fact that many European homes are…

I disagree, this is all because it's understood. You need a system promot because an LLM is fundamentally a token predictor. It needs to be primed for the work it's going to do, ot…

First of all, this is actually how this part of the conversation started: > If the US companies need trillions to barely beat Chinese companies spending billions, despite a multi y…

Can you please stop being coy and intentionally obtuse? Just have a discussion in good faith, I'm so beyond sick of this kind of rhetoric. Yes, AI training uses human data and a lo…

After going to the official website, I actually spent a couple of minutes looking around and checking certificates to see if it was a scam. The page makes it sound like it was buil…

To be clear, did or did not the party leader say he would like to deport people born in Sweden to legal immigrant parents because they are not "naturally Swedish"?

> I'd remind you the current new version is not an improvement compared to the previous one, both in terms of correctness and maintainability. Except, you know, multiple real compa…

It isn't disabled, it has exclusions. Now that they have it, they can close the gaps. It was literally impossible to have ANY coverage before, now they are mostly , covered and hav…
