'Low information voters' are largely like this - not people who don't have information, but people who have no ability to process the info they have.
The solution is not "more info", it's "feed them whatever bullshit will get their vote", which Republicans apparently understand and Democrats don't.

For reference, here's the current map of jet stream winds in the US, which blow from west to east.

This is the sort of thing an intern gets a mention in the company newsletter for. "Intern Dweezil audited our Microsoft licenses and potentially saved us $1800/yr. Good work, Dweezil!"

Malone was really a watershed event in Oreo quality; the pre-Malone ones were terrible.

"A serious problem in planning against American doctrine is that the Americans do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligation to follow their doctrine."

Any programmer would know that like 2% of the time working on a programming project is actually typing code into the IDE.
Once you understand the structure and have solved all the major problems, you can delete the code and rewrite it 'from scratch' in no time.

Looking at the page source, the image is loaded from the web.archive.org servers. Possibly they could be doing something on the back end where they pull it from the original site, but that would seem to defeat the purpose of archiving since the archive wouldn't work if the original page went down.

Ok, I dug a little deeper, the banner with the 9-star flag was added to the hhs.gov site on May 1st, 2023 when they launched a redesigned site.

It's inevitable given infinite time, sure. But there's no law of nature that says that it's practical with the current available tech. The history of technology is replete with examples of things that could be conceived but not realistically done without years of advancement in other areas.

I agree, but there are multiple audiences that need to be convinced, and the 'reasonable well-cited discourse' audience is only part of it. There are people who need to be engaged on a more visceral level, too. The Democratic party can have a little populism, as a treat.

Unless they invent another thing that works a different way to supplement or replace the LLM, I don't see massive profitability in their future. Big emphasis on the "unless" part, though - if there's another thing, they certainly have the staff and budget to build it.
comment in response to
post
I agree that it's real, and it has its uses (I use it sometimes), but at the same time I feel like LLMs long ago reached a point of diminishing returns where every % of improvement requires 10x (or 100x) the compute/data/power of the previous. To the point that OpenAI is basically a stock scam now.

It's probably Bill the Tesla guy. That's how I saw your post, I was looking at his followers to try to figure out if it was a troll account.
comment in response to

Probably somebody using Blockenheimer or similar to block all followers of a particular account. I do it for obvious troll accounts, but some people get really cavalier about it.
Looking at you on Clearsky, it looks like most of the people blocking you are blocking like 100k people.

This is a useful plan for running a newspaper in the same way that "buy low, sell high" is a useful plan for investing in the stock market.

So, the Trump administration is going to finally reveal the secrets of the evil deep state and its horrible covid-related crimes committed during the, uh, previous Trump administration?

This is bad, but is the working state, in which this data is retained by the camera company, aggregated into a database of everybody's movements, and then sold to pretty much anyone much better?

A "full flight" has no empty seats. "Completely full" is people standing in the aisles. "Utterly full" is no seats, just mounds of people everywhere. "Horrifyingly full" is just a tube of undifferentiated flesh hurtling through the stratosphere.

That too - though I guess the ESA engineers probably know best when they say it didn't come from their rocket.
I figure either ESA is wrong, or it's some other spacecraft debris that coincidentally landed there, or this is just some random item that was near the actual space debris.

Looks almost like a ring gear for a cylindrical piece of equipment that rotates on a base, like a concrete mixer. But it also looks relatively light and flexible, which a ring gear probably wouldn't be.
