Train AI but make it a New Yorker. You’ll get all the info you need in a very short amount of time and be disinclined to ask again.

That explains a lot of New Yorkers and why they usually elect mayors who hate New York.

…if that’s not your thing, you can move further away from the main area.

I was refactoring how my orders display and everything kicked me out and I got console errors everywhere.
None of my apps are working.
Worst part of being a developer is feeling like this is somehow my fault when there’s literally no way to prep for this.

I spent a good 10 minutes debugging and trying to figure out how changing a hook that displays orders affected my entire auth setup for Firebase. Debugged and was thoroughly confused until I went to the dashboard and got the sudden “oh” feeling.
None of my apps work right now.

Also cracks me up how American leftists will go “but so many older soviets say they miss it, that it was better!” And it’s like, yeah, and how many of our own people from the same age say the same thing about the 50s and 60s in America?
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

In the 90s in school I remember seeing a graphic on how many hours an American had to work for basic goods vs someone in the USSR.
I always suspected it was propaganda until I studied the history. The USSR was objectively a bad place.

You draw troops back from the war to control the domestic space and you lose the war. Send troops to the front and you lose the population (in an unpopular war).
They’re trying to do everything all at once and it’s going to cause a crash.

My guess is Newsome’s team ran the numbers, saw being a contrarian would boost him more, and that’s the path he’s taken.
Cynical, but sometimes the most cynical people can bring about positive change. Still…I’ll wait and see on this.

The media is a part of the administration.

Grok is probably the best at chat and offering a contradiction or nuance.
And holy hell it pains me to write that. But Grok stands to either be abandoned by users or possibly subvert their beliefs.
I just…don’t know how to process that.

If you wanna make a good LLM (good in the sense it works as an LLM compared to its competitors), you’re gonna have to let it be “woke.”

“This violence against the State is unacceptable!
Anyway, what are you doing on July 4?”

We landed in this sport because we refused to dole out consequences to people for anti-social behavior. We CANNOT repeat that mistake if we get through this.

A strongly worded letter from Congress is empty. They gave no consequences for it (yet). These experts could lose their jobs and income for it.
Context always matter.

It’s possible to be pro-gun control and pro-gun all at the same time! In fact, most responsible gun owners are.
But in reality, yes, guns (or any weapon of self-defense) is a necessity for some people.

But it’s no longer a de facto stance. At some point we’ll have to question if non-violence is really the best approach, or if it’s time to break windows.

The examples of non-violence working against a regime are SPARSE. Chile against Pinochet, Serbia in 2000, and a few others. And they’re unique with circumstances that don’t match our own.
I still think non-violence is the approach here. We still have mechanisms that will reward it.

So rank him #1, rank the ones you like, and don’t rank Cuomo.

An idiot who ignores the context of history is still an idiot.
You’re being an idiot on this.

(One of the reasons, Syrill is another huge reason - the whole “the tighter you close your fists the most slip away” thing)

Deedra being the ultimate Imperial is what doomed the Empire.

Wonder if there are any artists who could take modern scenes and draw them in the 1860s style

It’s only a terrible visual if you’re an ignorant bigot.

Didn’t know that was an option. Gonna fix that.
