What are the odds that "nuclear deal with the US" is what the Israeli attack was meant to preempt?

They keep saying stuff, and each time it makes it harder for me to not believe that this is a real cop.

How do we know it wasn't an actual police officer?

Where "the border" also includes coastline, which is why you see this bullshit all over California, Oregon, and Washington.

That's not the border. That's an "immigration checkpoint" inside the US, where ICE thugs harass people, usually because they don't look white enough.

I'm sure he thinks Confederate flags are perfectly fine, though.

It's existential for Elon, so his only hope is to grovel and make up. Even if he manages it, he's going to get Deripaska'ed.

If you assume that 3 non-Trump judges are unavailable in each month, that leaves 12 judges, 3 of which are Trump appointees. The odds of pulling at least 2 Trump judges at random, 4 months in a row, is 0.026%.

It drives me insane that your basis assumption is that Musk actually believes the things he says. He's not an idiot who thinks there's really $2T of waste. He just knows that it's a useful lie.

So by that same principle, you'd be okay with Pam Bondi trying to get judges removed for ruling against DoJ?

Maybe so. To be fair, my "journalistic process" took about 5 seconds, and didn't involve any actual research. Good thing I'm not a professional.

Spread them out into a rectangle. Measure the sides, multiply to get area. Count how many are in a 1-inch square. Multiply again.

Maybe they could try:
1) Communicating about what their principles are, and how adherence to those principles is good for everyone.
2) Behave as if they actually believe their stated principles.

Apply the same principle to sewing machines, and sewists will crucify you.

It's malpractice that they didn't ask anyone outside of the regime about the emoluments clause.

Trafficking them into slavery isn't deportation. Best not to normalize it.

Is someone shooting at a nuclear weapons facility? Isn't there supposed to be a ceasefire?

That's a good thought, but I don't think it would have made a difference if they were married.

Is the mistake she thinks she made voting for Trump? Or is it having a child with an immigrant?
Is she upset because bad things are happening to her? Or because bad things are being done in her name?

He swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. Maybe it would be good to ask a follow-up question about that?

As someone with almost four decades of experience building software systems, "building a brand new system" is almost always doomed to failure. The way to update a system is by carefully analyzing it and slowly refactoring it piece by piece.

Embeddings model contextual similarity, which is also a flawed proxy for meaning. How good it is depends on how comprehensive your training data is in containing the meaning you're trying to capture
comment in response to

LLMs encode context, which is only a very weak proxy for meaning. This is why they hallucinate so easily.

Yep. Just in China and Japan, so far as I'm aware.

It's not nearly as popular as it was, but it hasn't died out entirely. Definitely a niche hobby.

What was the answer when the interviewer asked the obvious follow-up question "what other promises that you've made are also exaggerations?"
He did ask the obvious follow-up, right?... Right?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you don't. I'm just saying it's a broad category of processes. How frivolous it is depends on what you're doing with it. And you're completely right, there's a lot of frivolous stuff. A lot of serious stuff, too.

3D printing is just additive manufacturing, where you start with nothing and add material until you build up the part you want. As opposed to subtractive manufacturing where you start with a block of material and remove stuff.

He never said that. He couldn't find out about any plans, but he wouldn't guarantee there weren't any.

I had to look up the bowling ball thing. He said it in 2018, and his handlers claimed he was "obviously joking"

"allocate rights"?
Whatever happened to "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights"?

You think that when Trump inevitably gives up, China is going to return to the status quo? They're going to grind our faces into the dirt while we flail around trying to tap out, thanks to him.

It's not just you. I'm white and my family has been here for over a century, and I'm worried about being designated a terrorist and sent to a Salvadoran concentration camp.
