Tell me about it, my other passport is Romanian =))
Thinking if I should take refuge from Trump, but like we have a saying there, you escape the 👿 only to meet his father ...
So "patience and tobacco" like we also say.
In the long term ...

That's just about right in terms of how much left over American prestige is left with in Europe these days.
Oh, the profits American brands of all kind will reap from the masterful leadership of the president !

For the future we'll try to remember that "it's a marathon, not a sprint" -- standard bs for employee training, but it applies.
Politicians learned to run every 4 years for 2 months worth of electioneering, after which, they wing it any which way they win a battle or two. So here we are.

Surprised?
In retrospect we'll have to ack it's been a long time coming and nobody paid attention.

Depends if you want a 10$ burger or a 20$ burger. For a 20$ burger I'd definitely go to Newcastle golf club. Actually Echo falls has the best burgers in the summer, I swear. Not sure in the winter with lower traffic and reduced personnel, but Newcastle is definitely worh the drive up the hill.

It's a toss-up what the supreme court will do with this junk, hope I'll be proven wrong

The orange one claims there is a category of children "not subject to the jurisdiction of states".
Reality check: states arrogate jurisdiction over children, even of H1b and any kind of children that happen to reside on their territory.
The order is xenophobic, it is evil and legally utter shit.

Oh, well. Maybe don't count on builders from Eastern Europe to begin with. Good old England is no longer so attractive.
I know for a fact that in Romania construction workers are lacking, and command serious money for their skills. Even for lower skilled we have South East Asians coming to work.

Yes, this is my greatest hope in the pursue of AGI, whether we get there or not in my lifetime, we should get a much better understanding of our own intellect.
In the meantime I am frustrated how every LLM improves "reasoning abilities" without the concept itself being properly defined.

Because total compensation in US is more than double any other place?

That's a serious dilemma. I never paid anything to any substack feed, just on principle, it is broken by design. Nyt I still pay by inertia, they do still have good reporting with excellent presentation on rare occasions.
I think only a serious nonprofit NPR style could work, maybe.

Dare I say that you were more right than wrong in the first position and you are more wrong than right in the current one ?
"Supporting the public good", seems to me, a humble worker for the big tech, beyond my intellectual abilities. Avoiding known harms to the public, that I can understand.

Then only print to stdout the grids with at least one "big enough" region. Using a quite modest threshold, the first grid to be displayed had the tree.

Spoiler, if you program with some kind of graphics, human eye should spot it.
With ascii art and console it's doable but to make your job easier, modify the Union Find you might have done for day 12 to keep the size of the biggest region. As by default things are scattered and can be discarded.

Those numbers are projections about debt and all its arguing is that Biden was not as bad as Trump. He was still very bad, even by those numbers, and then he was also bad politically.
Now the populace voted to give Trump a second chance at being bad, yay democracy ! and that's that.
